This proposed Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop, prototype and commercialize a Green Rooftop Technology with superior building energy efficiency to significantly reduce energy consumption of our nation’s industrial and commercial buildings. Besides, this proposed technology can significantly extend the lifespan of current building rooftop materials to ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enhance data security by solving the current problem of securing data in use through encryption. It has the potential to build trust on the cloud by overcoming the technical challenges of building a fully homomorphic encryption solution. This will allow data owners to encrypt their confi ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable manufacturers of solar cell assemblies to conduct quality control in real time. potentially reducing the cost of the solar cell modules and increasing production by an estimated 26%. Prospective customers of the envisioned technology are firms that make the assemblies (known as "strings"), and specifi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this SBIR Phase I project is to develop a desalination system powered by solar energy. Water is used for lithium and rare metal mining, requiring energy-efficient water treatment to produce fresh water and concentrated brines. This type of water treatment in mineral recovery systems can yield valuable critical materials as byproducts. Many lithium and rar ...

The objective of the proposed direct Phase-II SBIR project is to develop and study and the effectiveness of Serious Games and physical Activities played/performed by elderly people with Alzheimer’s disease and AD- related Dementias in interaction with Ryan, our successfully piloted Socially Assistive Robot (SAR). Ryan is an intelligent conversational life-like social robot, designed to improve t ...

Future interceptors would benefit from advanced propulsion capabilities, with higher performance in smaller, volume-constrained systems. Innovative propellant chemistry is needed to enable substantially greater performance in smaller packages. One factor limiting the maximum performance achievable in modern solid propellants is the slow ignition and combustion of the propellant’s metal fuel part ...

Agile RF Systems in partnership with the University of Oklahoma (OU) propose to develop and test an impulse radar (IR) based on a new, low cost, commercially available chipset. This chipset was originally developed and is used in medical radar devices. The radar incorporates an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) array antenna with correlation-sampling electronic scanning in the time-domain, to achieve a scalabl ...

Dissecting missile motors for the analysis of the chemical and physical properties of the propellant is indeed an inherently dangerous process. Ignition of the propellant during the dissection process would surely result in the catastrophic loss of facility and personnel. The process of dissection must perform with a bare minimum of well understood, monitored and managed risk factors all while max ...

As jet fuel flows through the CuNi fuel lines in aircraft fueling systems, copper (Cu) is dissolved into the fuel. The Cu contamination can reach up to 1 ppmw and these contaminants could catalyze oxidation reactions that cause hydrocarbons to decompose to elemental carbon and form deposits on the fuel lines, valves, injectors, and engine combustion chamber surfaces.TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) propos ...

STILMAN’s Linguistic Geometry, Real-time Adversarial Intelligence and Decision-making (LG-RAID) Technology has been developed with extensive support from DARPA, NAVSEA and Department of Defense stakeholders. NAVSEA PEO IWS 1.0 desires to adapt, test, validate and transition this novel, innovative technology to accelerate tactical mission planning within complex strategic and tactical environment ...
