DESCRIPTION provided by applicant A Phase II SBIR program of preclinical development is proposed for the development of an active specific immunotherapeutic called Cellariumandquot for treatment of glial cell based cancers Successful completion of this project will confirm therapeutic effect and pre clinical safety of the vaccine in preparation for first in human studies Upon demonstration of ...

The advancement of systems requiring high power (megawatt level) in a short amount of time (seconds to minutes) is increasing, and there is currently no reliable energy storage and release system to complement these technologies on the Navys ships. Traditional flywheels are heavy with low tip speeds and often have to be built in place. Creare proposes an advanced carbon nanotube (CNT) flywheel for ...

Unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) threats in a harbor environment present a complex, and in certain ways contradictory, set of detection and classification issues. The threats may come in the form of highly aggressive behaviors with associated kinematics and classification signatures, as well as passive loitering with different kinematics and classification opportunities. One obvious modality to c ...

Voice communication with military divers is challenged by their extreme operating environment and limited by inadequate performance from their legacy communications equipment. Bottomside, the divers are subject to extreme pressures, mixed breathing gases, and high ambient noise. Clean pickup and delivery of voice would be challenging under these conditions even with ideal communications equipment. ...

The LED Lighting Fixture Control Module (LFCM) will be the next generation of LED lighting control capability replacing the current C3I LED Flex Driver Control Module (LFDM). C3Is Configurable Distributed LED Driver (CD-LD) technology will meet the LFCM requirements, providing performance enhancements and resulting in significantly reduced installation, operating, maintenance, and configuration co ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is of such scope and diversity it can be difficult to capture. Over the coming decades passive UHF RFID will become a pervasive technology, not just in industrial, manufacturing, commercial, and retail operations but in the everyday lives of ordinary people. As passive UHF RFID makes its way into homes and appliances to help automate and simp ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to greatly improve the robustness and diagnosability of many real world cloud computing infrastructures. The proposed technology will significantly reduce the downtime of production cloud systems, which can attract more users to adopt cloud computing technology and thus benefit the exp ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to enable smaller diagnostic systems and smaller blood draws without compromising on sample quality and time-to-result. Currently, clinicians who want to ensure that blood samples are well stabilized must use test tubes 1 mL or larger. Meanwhile, point-of-care tests that use smaller volumes are challenged to disperse analytic reagents rapi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is in the development of a transformative carbon dioxide sequestration technology that can convert carbon dioxide and water directly into gasoline fuels with unprecedented efficiency, with sunlight as the only energy input. The technology is based on earth abundant metals as photo-catalysts, is environment- friendly, and potentially can be us ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project lies in development of a new class of amorphous metal alloys that could benefit society as a whole. Theoretical calculations have shown that 90% weight reduction of components can be achieved with Iron-based amorphous and nano-composite alloys. By reducing the weight of components in automotive and aerospace, significant fuel savings can be a ...
