C53-14b-271071The increasing data rates in conventional and scanning transmission electron microscopy, afforded by the developments of faster detectors and novel in-situ methods, requires automation of post- acquisition data analysis and, ideally, identification of regions of interest during experimental data acquisition. The overarching objective of this program is to leverage a suite of cutting- ...

C53-33b-271095Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibiting excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D detectors. New small-pitch detector solutions are being developed which necessitates development of complimentary Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and r ...

C53-01a-271272The problem to be addressed arises from the recent and rapid growth of large three- dimensional (3D) and time-varying datasets produced from sensor/observation systems, numerical simulation, and AI models and the current difficulties incorporating these data into research workflows in many data science communities. To address this problem, Pan3D will fill critical needs for (i) data ...

C53-02a-271303Open-source standard scientific software and hierarchical data format for data management is the de facto standard for scientific and engineering applications. It is widely used in large-scale simulations of physical phenomena, aircraft flight testing, high-speed neutron and X-ray detectors data acquisition, and many more. One of the known limitations of the software is a lack of mul ...

C53-07a-271318The advancement of grazing incidence X-ray optic technologies brings promise of new discoveries and novel applications for synchrotron applications, space exploration, and more. However, these goals are limited by the current state of the art of domestic manufacture and metrology of diffraction-limited x-ray mirrors, specifically those for synchrotron applications. This proposal outl ...

C49-21a-271327 Many fields of science and applied science use X-rays to study matter at small and fast scales, and the knowledge from these experiments helps power the world economy. Powerful X-ray light source facilities such as synchrotrons and free electron lasers have been developed to study the structure of matter down to the atomic scale, and they can even create “molecular movies” of ch ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to transform current eye care by providing a novel tool for ocular fluid biopsies. The fluid in the eye is isolated from the rest of the body by a blood-ocular barrier, so obtaining blood work does not help for diagnosing most ocular problems. Testing of ocular fluid has been shown to decr ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the development of a grid-scale battery to enable large-scale, long-duration energy storage. New technologies for long-duration energy storage are required to solve the challenge of renewable energy intermittency. The widespread deployment of a new battery technology based on ubiquitous an ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will be to reduce video and image copyright-related liability for social media companies and retain profits for digital media licensing companies and other content owners/distributors who are holding or enforcing content rights. Beyond content protection, the technology being developed can also address the emergi ...

The broader impact/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project impacts mothers and babies during the breastfeeding period. Although breastfeeding benefits for the mother and the baby are recognized worldwide, many mothers are unable to attain their breastfeeding targets due to common discontinuance problems. The proposed solution may increase breastfeeding ...
