TIAX has developed a technology to meet EPA and homeland security needs for bio-agent decontamination in railway cars and other situations. It provides simultaneous encapsulation and killing of biological contaminants with the added capability for decontamination of chemical and radiological hazards. Current technologies are labor-intensive involving separate steps for site preparation, decontamin ...

Triton Systems will mature the technology for their previously developed low cost, passive ear protection device to be worn as an earplug and/or in a headset that will allow the warfighter to maintain situational awareness but filter out harmful noise threats for both impulse and continuous noise.

The broader impact and commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to treat chronic back and lower limb pain more effectively using a high-resolution stimulation technology. Lower back pain affects more than 100M Americans. While spinal cord neuro-modulation is successful for about 60% of patients, many people remain untreated and suffer from chronic ...

ABSTRACT The technology that will be developed in this NIH SBIR Phase I and later Phase II proposal will provide novel systems for optical guidance of spinal surgery that will not use any of the expensive components currently used for surgical navigation intra operative CT or O arm imaging or robotics Instead the technology will leverage innovative new hardware such as optical head mounted d ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project results from the fact that it will unlock the potential of autonomous vehicles in dense urban environments in such a way that these vehicles will be safe, effective, and able to operate in environments with a wide range of often-vulnerable road users. By providing a system for autonomous vehi ...

Project Summary Abstract Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis NASH is dubbed the stealth epidemic and in the U S alone percent of the million people who are estimated to have NASH will progress and develop life threatening conditions including fibrosis cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure By the year NASH is projected to be the leading indication for liver transplanta ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to demonstrate the feasibility of Battery Resourcers recycling process on a scale that has commercial significance. This will further allow Battery Resourcers to scale its process such that it can be a player in the lithium ion battery recycling market place. Battery Resourcers' ultimate goal is in ...

This SBIR Phase II project was initiated as a direct result of extensive research into the US math crisis and the complexity of the problem. As a nation, we must invest resources directly into the breaking point: the mid school math cliff. The US shows the greatest decline worldwide from 4th to 10th grade on International tests in math. This project is designed to address all 146 Common Core State ...

Age related macular degeneration AMD causes progressive loss of central vision and is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world A major challenge in the development of effective treatments for AMD is the lack of sensitive practical visual function endpoints People with AMD manifest delayed dark adaptation DA recovery and DA tests are a FDA approved method for diagnosing AMD Cu ...

Abstract Chronic kidney disease CKD disproportionately impacts older adults Balance mobility and falls are serious problems for CKD patients due to associated peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease which also contribute to foot ulcers and other foot problems in this population Among older adults these problems are often compounded by other comorbid conditions leaving older ...
