CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and demonstrate a Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing platform for the 6T Li-ion battery program. The BMS HIL platform will be designed to test BMS units in a laboratory and manufacturing environment to ensure they meet current and future requirements. The project also includes the development of a ...

Digital Twins (DT) – computer simulations of electro-mechanical systems – have been employed for many years to monitor and predict the behavior of the physical systems they model. Since the introduction of malware such as Stuxnet, an urgent need has arisen to predict and prevent such operational technology (OT) systems from catastrophic critical infrastructure attacks before malicious cyber ac ...

Industrial control system (ICS) operational technology (OT) systems enable increased process efficiency and cost savings.  At the same time, they allow for increasingly complex cyber-attacks with devastating physical impacts.  The ATC-NY team will design and build CYRIN-OT, a system for creating virtual “digital twins” of OT networks and performing security assessments on them.  Any diverge ...

The goal for this Phase I research is to develop a stretchable dielectric ink that can be used for flexible applications. Printing electronics is a new and quickly growing alternative to traditionally manufactured electronics. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) is a novel approach to electronic circuit manufacturing that aims to combine the best of printed and conventional electronics. FHE devices ...

Commercial buildings use 35% of the entire US energy output, and up to a third of that energy is wasted. Rapidly rising fuel costs, increasing concern about climate change, and policy directives from the Biden Administration are all driving the need for increased energy efficiency and the elimination of waste. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased public awareness of t ...

Development of a reflection control and direction device (RCDD) is proposed. This innovative device will progress the state of the art for propulsion of solar sails used to fly space weather monitoring sensors to sub-LaGrange point orbits for earlier warning times of impending destructive space weather events. A reflection control device (RCD) utilizes polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mater ...

Drought is responsible for $327.7B in economic loss since 1980 in the United States and typically precedes, cooccurs, or initiates other hazards like wildfires or prolonged periods of intense heat. The compounding or cascading of these hazards routinely threatens the wellbeing and stability of communities. The economic impact from drought can be especially harsh when the drought begins rapidly in ...

"Jaia Robotics’ low-cost, micro-sized hybrid uncrewed surface/underwater vehicles called JaiaBotsTM can be deployed from the shore or vessels. The system enables truly affordable multivehicle operations that can be scaled to provide wide area synoptic data collection. In the proposed effort the project team will develop a JaiaBot which is air-deployable from sonobuoy launch tubes to collect atmo ...

A cloud based system for sharing bathymetric survey data collected by FarSounder customers is proposed as a way(1) to improve safety of navigation on our oceans, (2) to collect measurements for the broader scientific and maritime communities and (3) to generally explore and broadly share information about our oceans in fulfillment of ideas proposed in Topic 9.3 “The Changing Ocean”, and in acc ...
