The goal of this SBIR Phase II project is to bring the demonstrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) microdisplay technology to industrial maturity and to final commercialization levels. The project's goal will be accomplished by further optimizing the microdisplay device structural design and fabrication process based on the demonstrative results obtained in Phase I. Based on high-efficiency semiconductor m ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project proposes to develop a novel supersensitive multiphoton detection system for protein chips (P-chip/MPD) for applications in drug discovery and in early detection of prostate cancer and breast cancer. The commercial impact of the proposed work will be in the area of diagnostic proteomics. The diagnostics industry is large, currently estima ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project proposes the unsupervised extraction of contextual information from dedicated video surveillance cameras by providing a mechanism to manually inject pieces of semantic, using semantic knowledge as seed information to learn statistical context models for: functional components, Environmental components, targets, temporal compon ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Research Phase I project is to develop genetically-modified tobacco and fern plants to sense bioavailable arsenic, a humam carcinogen, that is widely dispersed in the environment. The commercial application of this project will be to assist in detection and cleanup of environmental contaminants.

This SBIR Phase II project will produce a commercial version of PathfinderPlus, an online system that integrates assessment of complex, standards-based instructional objectives within interactive simulations and makes the resultant data available in a timely and efficient manner to students, teachers and administrators. In order to effectively implement curriculum standards-based educational refo ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase II project will use the LPG (Long Period Grating) technology to interrogate the interactions between drugs and G-Protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). To effectively study these interactions, one has to stabilize the GPCRs by immobilizing them to lipid layers. This Phase II project will focus on optimizing the lipid selection, composition, ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will involve production and purification of a powerful Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent based on a newly discovered nanomaterial (Trimetasphere), consisting of a metallic nitride nanocluster inside a fullerene type cage. Trimetaspheres recently demonstrated a factor of 21 times improved relaxivity over currently used M ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes to enhance the efficacy of a new anti-cancer drug, based on a novel lead molecule, through combinatorial chemistry. Preliminary data have shown that this drug, in higher doses, has the ability to kill cancerous cells while leaving non-cancerous cells unaffected. The commercial application of this project will be in the area of anti-c ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project investigates efficient stimulated Raman amplification in the 1620-1750 nm near infrared spectral region. This spectral range overlaps with the first overtone of the strongest vibration resonances. In addition, no efficient high brightness directs emission sources exist in this spectral region resulting in either low power or complex l ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project seeks to provide a tool to improve bioinformatics education. This tool, VIBE-Ed, is a software product designed to augment bioinformatics at the college and university level by creating an interactive, integrated, and comprehensive approach to bioinformatics education using visual programming. During the Phase I project, INCOGEN dem ...
