The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project focuses on developing a universal power conversion system that addresses the unmet needs of the fast-growing electrification and energy storage industries whether it is related to electric vehicles (EV), EV charging, EV charging infrastructure, grid storage, or electric boat applications. The proposed ...

The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project includes reductions in food waste, energy use, and carbon emissions by developing a highly efficient and adaptable system for refrigerated transport. Mini-containers, which are small, insulated boxes with environments controlled by a central driving unit that contains a refrigerator and other environmental controls are proposed. The technology may in ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel metabolite diagnostic blood test indicative of early-stage diseases including cancer, chronic heart and lung disorders, and diabetes.The technology analyzes specific panels of blood metabolites indicative of changes in cellular function that occur with disease.This technology reduce ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be the ability to quickly and inexpensively determine the presence and genetic sequence of a wide variety of pathogenic organisms. Most importantly, this technology could be implemented without prior assumptions as to which organisms are expected. Sequencing will be accomplished by direct electrical identific ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project lies in enhancing health outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. Each year, over 1.7 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer, and treatment turns out to be ineffective for approximately 75% of those receiving systemic therapy. This failure is because every tumor is distinct in ma ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to accelerate the emergence of next-generation semiconductors, beyond silicon, with increased performance and efficiency across a wide range of applications, including those essential for the Nation’s future energy and communications infrastructure. By replacing the most wasteful and costly step in the s ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is that a deeper structural understanding will be developed of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), an important target for promising new anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The project will also support the development of new compounds targeting PAR1 with the potential for improved potency and safety pr ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the potential reduction of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) and harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from marine diesel engines. There are approximately 4 million diesel-powered craft in use globally, emitting approximately one billion tons of CO2 and 100 million tons of NOx annually. This project seeks to remove ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to provide faster internet speeds to remote locations. This goal will be accomplished through the delivery of custom-shaped reflector panels for satellite communication antennas.Currently, there is a significant unmet need in the market for rapid turnaround, relatively low quantity, and affordable curved metal ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop further a predictive model for health providers to address the life-threatening condition of preeclampsia in pregnant and postpartum patients. Preeclampsia affects 1 in 20 births, or 150,000 women in the U.S. each year. Not only does Preeclampsia cost 70,000 lives globally each ...
