The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Holographic Light-Emitting Diode-Based Solar Simulator

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: N/A

    NIST is seeking a large-area solar simulator to overcome the shortcomings of current devices. Therefore, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) developed in Phase I a new Holographic Light-Emitting-Diode (LED)-Based Solar Simulator (HOLIOS) system based on: high-power LEDs with electronic drivers; holographic filters; and collimating, homogenizing, and projection optics for indoor testing of photovolta ...

  2. Low-Noise Detector Arrays for Raman Spectroscopy

    SBC: Aerius Photonics, LLC.            Topic: N/A

    We propose to demonstrate near infrared (NIR) sensor arrays with 10 times lower noise than arrays presently available to improve the sensitivity of current spectroscopy systems. Such an achievement would allow the measurement of new phenomena through Raman spectroscopy and other diagnostic techniques. The low noise performance is enabled by the use of low-noise Si readout integrated circuits mated ...

  3. Imaging Variable Kinetic Energy Electron Analyzer

    SBC: R. Browning Consultants            Topic: N/A

    The objective of this proposal is to create a prototype imaging variable kinetic energy electron analyzer in the range 0.1 to 8 keV for use with an X-ray excitation source. The imaging analyzer is to have a target imaging spatial resolution of 100 nm. The X-ray excitation source will be a synchrotron light source. The instrument can be described as an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) microsc ...

  4. Scanning Head Storage Phosphor Plate Scanner

    SBC: APREND TECHNOLOGY            Topic: N/A

    The specific problem addressed by the proposed research is the development of a scanner for storage phosphor plates with significantly better positional and intensity accuracy than the current state of the art. The new scanner will be based on the use of a "scanning head" scanning approach which is more simple, accurate, and stable than the approaches previously used. This results in stable and ...

  5. An Ultrathin Foil Neutral Density Filter Set for the Infrared

    SBC: LUXEL CORP            Topic: N/A

    A solution to the need for OD 3 to OD 10 neutral density filters in the infrared (2 to 25 um) with flat wavelength dependence is suggested using submicron thickness polymer films as substrates for multi-layer or co-deposited metallic alloy coatings. Initial studies used Lexan and although they showed feasibility, a stronger and more temperature resistant ultrathin substrate such as polyimide film ...

  6. Thomas Drop Net Concept

    SBC: Ocean Friendly            Topic: N/A

    The purpose of the Thomas Drop Net Concept is to introduce a new method of catching pure schools of surface feding fish with the ability to select only those schools of targeted species which are of desirable size. The method involves a helicopter deployed drop net which is lowered around a selected school of targeted species, pursed, and left floating. When the seiner arrives, they place a tr ...

  7. Physics Based Life Prediction of Thermal Barrier Coatings in Gas Turbines

    SBC: Optimal Corp            Topic: N/A

    Innovative methods, based on thermodynamics theory, will be developed to establish a unified approach in quantifying the damage state of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) under high temperature service conditions. After surveying existing material damage models, a mechanistic model which describes rate- and temperature-dependent deformation behavior of TBC with material damage will be proposed. Spe ...

  8. Sensor Data Fusion for an Intelligent Fire Detection and Control System

    SBC: OPTO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: N/A

    This proposal deals with the application of advanced mathematical concepts for developing a general purpose, fire detection and suppression system that can be adapted for residential, commercial, and industrial environments. The system utilizes a suite of common (or future) sensors that are networked; it employs a distributed control strategy with local "intelligence," and uses advanced data and ...

  9. A Diode Laser Multigas Analyzer for Advanced Detection of Fires

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: N/A

    Southwest Sciences will develop a novel fire detection technology based on optical spectroscopy, using diode lasers and fiber optics. Rapid, quantitative detection of part per million concentrations (or better) of multiple gases, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, and a fiber optical distribution network permits one laser to be used for at least 800 di ...

  10. UNATTENDED GAS CHROMATOGRAPHS

    SBC: Amerasia Technology, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    THERE IS A NEED FOR AN UNATTENDED GAS CHROMATOGRAPH THAT CANMAKE CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE ON SURFACE BUOYS OR SHIPS OF OPPORTUNITY. AN INNOVATIVE REAL TIME, LOWPOWER, AND INEXPENSIVE SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVE (SAW) RESONATOR-BASED GAS CHROMATOGRAPH IS PROPOSED THAT OFFERS THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF RUGGED CONSTRUCTION, SMALL SIZE, AND LOW POWER AND GAS CONSUMPTION. THE UNIQUE IMPLEMENTATI ...
