The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to complete the development of "The Phoenix", a zero-fuel furnace that converts trash to ash and energy with 30% less greenhouse gas emissions per ton than landfills or conventional incineration. This technology enables municipal solid waste to be managed in a decentralized manner, avoiding the expe ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a non-invasive, externally worn appliance for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition affecting over 88 million Americans (26% of the American adult population).Those impacted by OSA are at risk of serious comorbidities such as diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Many sufferers ...

We propose a high-impact innovation for weather forecasting that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model of extreme weather indices. This innovation will provide the basis for skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. Extreme weather/climate events of relevance to electric utilities focused on in Phase I ...

The ability to manufacture small to large batch productions on demand in low gravity environments is imperative for the expansion of low orbit manufacturing and lunar colonization.nbsp;Injection molding is one of the most common manufacturing processes and is used to make large and small components. It is also used for developing both polymer and metal composites. Two benefits of injection molding ...

In this Phase II SBIR, XploSafe will build on its Phase I work to advance the development and evaluation of sorbents identified during the Phase I. Phase I results demonstrated the feasibility of sorbent candidates as viable replacement for the current carbon dioxide and humidity control solution. The developed materials exhibit significant advantages including higher CO2 capacity and easier regen ...

Ravensafe provides a portable energy storage solution that negates the use of fuel generators for providing instant power. The portable energy storage system can be recharged by grid power, solar, or generator. The power is stored in a hybrid lithium ion

Fatigue and distraction are two of the biggest causes of road accidents (in 93% of cases). There is a huge need for preventive tools that effectively focuses on the source of the issue, the driver symptoms (e.g., blinks, heartbeat), before they cause mishaps. BlyncSync is a patented system for fleet driver biometric tracking. We use a proactive approach for avoiding accidents through predictive an ...

Security Forces is transitioning to a new Weapons Qualifications Course that will significantly increase the number of iterations that Defenders conduct at the firing range. Going forward, all personnel will receive firearms training on a monthly/quarterly basis (as opposed to annually) at outdoor ranges with distances of 25 - 400 meters.  Bullseye Targets Systems LLC has developed the Bullseye T ...

Vendors (large and small) are being contracted to develop novel training applications leveraging the latest technologies. Because of the current siloed nature of acquisitions and program management many departments across the USAF are paying for models and training applications that have already been developed by other departments. Compounding this issue, there are serious limitations with confirm ...

The Air Force (AF) is facing the challenge of costly and environmentally unsafe Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal methods on its AF bases. Particularly, forward operating bases (FOBs) resort to burning waste in open pits with economic, environmental and potential health impact. Emerging solutions such as Plasma Arc Gasification are expensive, require large scale plants while Pyrolysis technolog ...
