Fulcrum Biometrics' Plan for Research and Development of WS-BD Conformant Handheld Fingerprint Sensor
SBC: Fulcrum Biometrics, LLC Topic: N/ATrusted biometric validation of individual identities has never been more important. Several contributing factors are the increase in global terrorism, identity theft and the increase in legislation which are driving the accelerated adoption of biometric technology. Unfortunately, the biometrics industry has not actively responded to the changing market conditions being driven by the explosion in ...

Doubling the energy density of lithium-ion batteries for transportation
SBC: SILA NANOTECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: 1To accelerate the adoption of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), Sila Nanotechnologies and its project team aim to transform portable energy storage by demonstrating 1200 Wh/L performance in full cells, with electrode materials materials cost of just $40/kWh. By more than doubling the amount of energy stored in any given form factor cell, without changing the manufacturing process, we will reduce ...

Large-Area, High-Uniformity Photodiodes for Infrared Trap Detectors
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: 9020168Rmethyst Research Inc. will design, fabricate and test a high uniformity, large area, low noise infrared trap-detector detector for the 1- 4.5 μm wavelength range. This state of the art detector will have a large area (e.g., 1-1.8 cm diameter active area) with a spatial variability of internal quantum efficiency of less than 0.1 % between 1 μm and 4.5 μm. In addition, the internal quantum effici ...

Precision 10 kV Programmable Voltage Source
SBC: Low Thermal Electronics, Inc. Topic: NALow Thermal Electronics, Inc. proposes to design a stand-alone, programmable voltage source capable of supplying precision voltages in the range of zero to 1,000 volts direct current (DC), with options for scaling up to 10,000 volts, and with a total expanded uncertainty (k=2) of less than 10uV/V for the 10,000 volt version. This instrument will improve state-of-the-art measurements in high resist ...

A Model-Based Solution to Improve the Accessibility and Affordability of Manufacturing System Simulations
SBC: MBSE Tools, Inc. Topic: NAThe vision is to provide decision-makers with effective, fast, and inexpensive analysis tools to answer "What-If" and "What-Should" questions about manufacturing systems. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a modeling methodology with widespread contemporary use in manufacturing, and our strategy is to start with VSM as a deployment beachhead for the eventual deployment of a more generic manufacturing s ...

Fiber Pigtailed On-Chip Mid-infrared Difference Frequency Generation in Silicon
SBC: OMEGA OPTICS, INC. Topic: NAWe propose a fiber-pigtailed strained silicon platform for tunable difference frequency generation (DFG) in mid-infrared (MIR) with tunable continuous wave near-infrared (NIR) sources. Stress exerted by silicon nitride induces second-order nonlinear susceptibility c(2) on underlying centro-symmetric silicon. NIR light is coupled into silicon and MIR light is coupled out of silicon using sub-wavele ...

Gap-Free Model-Based Engineering for Manufacturing and Analysis: Digital Thread without Translation
SBC: Nvariate, Inc. Topic: NoneModern Model-Based Enterprise / Engineering (MBE) systems rely on freeform surfaces built as complex combinations of geometric primitives to define engineered objects. Unfortunately, the intersection of freeform surfaces in MBE applications results in highly approximated solutions, degrading models that cost billions annually by US industry to fix. Current technology limits the abilities of users ...

Advanced Instrumentation for Non-Nulling Stack Velocity Testing
SBC: AIRFLOW SCIENCES CORP Topic: NoneIndustrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and electric power plants that burn fossil fuels exhaust the combustion products to atmosphere through their smokestacks. Stack pollutant emissions are quantified using manual testing methods developed in the 1960s, which are prone to error if non-axial flow exists in a stack.Recently, NIST has been working on an improved technique of performing 3D flow ...
