At the completion of all the phases of SBIR topic N101-033, Highly Integrated Highly Efficient Fuel Reformer/Fuel Cell System, Adaptive Materials will provide a highly integrated, highly efficient Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system that will be fueled by JP-5 without external reforming suited for naval aviation applications, specifically prime propulsion power for smaller unmanned aerial systems. ...

Company Commanders looking to effectively employ renewable energy systems need a planning tool to ensure that the impact of renewable energies is positive on company operations. With the development of a suitable software application and standard operating procedures renewable energy technologies can offer Commanders significant battlefield advantages. Adaptive Materials developed a software appli ...

This Small Business Research Phase II project will develop a new electrochemical treatment device for purification of water. We envision the device will be used in an individual drinking water system. Electrochemical technologies have been recently considered as a promising alternative to address water quality concerns, and to overcome some disadvantages of conventional water individual water trea ...

Computational models of rat and pig heads will be developed and validated against pressure data available from previously conducted shock tube experiments by simulating complex blast interaction in a verified and validated shock tube numerical model. Finite Element and Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques will be utilized. Available injury data will be examined in regions of interest generat ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The hallmark of atherosclerosis is the accumulation of cholesterol in arteries, resulting in plaque which can lead to a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). The excess cholesterol causes inflammation, promotes plaque instability, and in later stages, narrows the vessel lumen to obstruct blood flow. Normally, cholesterol is removed from arteries and deli ...

ApoLife is developing yeast platform-Twin Cassette yeast vectors for cost effective manufacturing of antibodies. Using recent collaboration with a company with proprietary S. cerevisiae yeast strains producing homogeneous human N-linked glycosylated proteins, ApoLife will develop commercial scale process for cost effective manufacturing of Campth, anticancer antibody, as a biogeneric antibody cand ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): There is a growing demand for custom synthesis of short genes libraries coding for active peptides or regulatory RNAs. DNA microarrays can be manufactured by synthesizing oligonucleotides on solid substrate in a massively-parallel manner using a high-yield low cost chemistry. Oligonucleotides can be cleaved off the microarray surface and recovered as a pool ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Peptides play a significant role in the defense mechanisms of the body and binding of cells, bacteria and viruses to surfaces. Combinatorial peptide chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for mapping receptor-ligand interactions in drug discovery applications as well as epitope mapping. There is a huge, but largely unrealized, potential for peptide microarray ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is developing the first software to offer 3D visualization of health outcomes in a combined time and geography space, allowing the display of health data at multiple spatial and temporal scales within the same scene and thus taking full advantage of human visual perception that is fundamentally three dimensional. This visualization analytics enviro ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue expanding the study of iridium-catalyzed aromatic C-H activation/borylation in concert with other chemical conversions as a new approach to currently inaccessible chemical building blocks that will be highly useful for variety of practical applications, including pharmaceutical, agro-chemical, materials and fine chemical development. The ...
