ORBIS proposes to Address SBIR DLA171-002 by developing efficient and effective processes to reverse engineer RPPOB Candidate Items. ORBIS has a wealth of experience in supporting DoD systems and components and is well suited to addressing the backlog of unsupported equipment .

This SBIR Phase I proposal to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), requests funding for Form Fit and Function, LLC, a small disadvantaged, HUBZone Certified Business, to perform research in the development of an SAR package for NSN 3020-01-560-8493, Pulley, Groove.F3's proven experience in manufacturing and SAR package development, give F3 an advantage in development and decreases Government risk. ...

Current agriculture and off-road equipment requires the use of lubricants to ensure efficient operation of integral hydraulic and gear driven systems. The lubricants, either oils or greases, aid in reducing friction, dissipating heat, prevent oxidation, and seal of water and debris from vital areas of the equipment. During operation, equipment may have slight leaks or suffer catastrophic failures ...

The one-step cane sugar process respondsto the USDA NIFA SBIR Program Priorities in regards to agriculturally related manufacturing technology and energy efficiency. The technology developed from this project will (1) reduce the energy and water consumed per cane sugar product, (2) provide an economic alternative for producing U.S. Food Grade sugar worldwide, (3) eliminate hazardous solid waste pr ...

Soldiers engaged in Sustained Operations can burn up to 6,000 kcal of energy per day, which cannot be compensated for by current rations - Meals, Ready-to-Eat and First Strike Rations only provide up to 3,750 kcal/day and 2,900 kcal/day, respectively. This energy debt is further aggravated by the fact that most soldiers "field strip" their rations, removing menu items that are undesirable, or that ...

The principal objective of the proposed USDA SBIR Phase I project is to develop the use of Nanophase Silica (NS), a product derived from processing of agricultural waste, as a key ingredient in Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) formulations to achieve very high strength, durability and dimensional stability (i.e. no shrinkage or expansion without cracking). Also, the excess energy/steam from ...

Antioxidants are a vital component of the food industry. Most of currently used antioxidants aresynthetic chemicals, and there is a global concern among regulatory bodies and customersregarding the safety of these compounds. However, natural antioxidants are more than ten timesmore expensive, and are often not as effective as their synthetic counterparts. Thus, there is a needfor inexpensive and c ...

Through this proposal we offer a literature-derived, population-based dietary inflammatory index (C-DII) developed to characterize children diets on a scale from maximally anti- to pro-inflammatory. Diet is a strong moderator of chronic systemic inflammation. This C-DII will be used as a basis to:• Direct school lunch programs towards foods that will reduce inflammatrion-associated health risks, ...
