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 ...

Research conducted in Phase I identified a range of data sources providing vehicle related information to consumers shopping around or interested in knowing more about vehicles. Majority of the commercial data sources focused on vehicle features, new/used/CPO pricing, and vehicles listings. Such data sources lacked safety as their central focus, which is a concern for U.S. Department of Transporta ...

The military combat eye protection (MCEP) program is designed to protect our soldiers' eyes from the external threats of fragmentation, electromagnetic radiation, wind, dust, sand, etc. and greatly improve both safety and operational effectiveness. However, the goggles and spectacles on the Military’s authorized protective eyewear list (APEL) are only effective if the soldier is wearing them. Fo ...

Small drinking water systems consistently provide safe, reliable drinking water to their customers; however challenges of such systems include; lack of financial resources, aging infrastructure, lack of scale, and technical/logistical challenges associated with regulation compliance. The deployment ofnew cost-effective monitoring technologies hold opportunities to substantially advance infrastruct ...

Polyurethanes are now made by reacting two components, one of which has toxic isocyanate groups. Isocyanates are especially hazardous to workers that spray-apply polyurethane paints. Researchers have developed less hazardous ways to make polyurethane, but they have poor performance, cure too slowly or are too expensive. In this project, TDA Research, Inc. (TDA) will develop new non-isocyanate two- ...

The release of mercury into the environment via combustion processes has become an issue of concern for the United States and the entire world. Major sources of mercury either are regulated or are under review to develop regulations to reduce emissions. ADA Technologies, Inc., successfully demonstrated the performance of a novel reactive scrubbing technology for the removal of vapor-ph ...

Biocidal additives are vital for both the preservation of coatings in the can and for long-term coating integrity after applications. Antifungal additives are critical for delaying attack by fungal and algal growth once an architectural coating is in place. Biocidal coatings are designed to kill microbes and fungi by slowly and steadily releasing biocide from the dried film. Unfortunat ...

The release of mercury into the environment via combustion processes has become an issue of concern for the US and the entire world. Major sources either are regulated or are under review to develop regulations to reduce emissions. ADA Technologies has successfully demonstrated the performance of a novel reactive scrubbing technology for the removal of vapor-phase mercury from incinerator exhaus ...

A hardware platform is proposed for a low-cost miniature quickscan receiver to operate in the range of 30.000 MHz to 3.000 GHz. The platform consists of a multiplicity of Digital Signal Processors connected in a microprocessor array to perform detection and monitoring of battlefield radio activity.

PRESENT TECHNOLOGY FOR SOLVENT RECOVERY AND RECYCLE OR FOR THE SOLIDIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS LIQUID ORGANIC WASTE CANNOT BE APPLIED TO ALL WASTE STREAMS. MATERIALS CONTAINING CORROSIVE, HIGHLY REACTIVE, OR ACIDIC COMPONENTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE DISTILLATION/SEPARATION EQUIPMENT OF SOLVENT RECOVERY OPERATIONS. NOR ARE THESE MATERIALS OR THOSE WITH HIGHLY TOXIC AND/OR CORROSIVE VAPOR CONSTITUEN ...
