This Sequential Phase II effort will demonstrate the micro-loop oscillating heat pipe heat spreader technology (m-Loop-OHP-HS) for solid state power amplifiers in a real-world spacecraft structure to advance its technology readiness level for near-term insertion into programs of record. Additionally, the m-Loop-OHP-HS technology will be prototyped in novel materials and form factors to create mult ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable economic development aid organizations to plan, implement, measure, and achieve better gender equality and social inclusion outcomes. Gender equality is recognized as an important factor in catalyzing development and lifting communities out of poverty. Empowered women contribute t ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is the potential to deploy a powerful tool for carbon capture. CO2-capture is the foundation of greenhouse gas mitigation. The high cost of current processes for CO2-capture have prevented their widespread deployment. High-pressure, Density-driven Separator (HDS) technology efficiently and continuousl ...

This SBIR Phase I project will produce a digital + physical game for 6-10 year olds that fosters computational thinking practices through collaboration, listening, and tinkering through play with music. It is widely recognized that to be ready for the future, today?s students need to develop the ability to think critically, identify and solve complex problems, communicate clearly about their think ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to enable broad market adoption of rooftop and other methods for local wind energy generation through reduction in costs. This is achieved through development of technology designed to lower the cost of wind turbine drive trains and associated power electronics, high cost items which are often left without innovation in new wind turbine de ...

There is a need for compact, high-efficiency, and high spacial-resolution neutron scattering imagers. Improvements in neutron detectors for use at high-flux pulsed neutron sources are required for materials research involving neutron scattering experiments conducted at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories, including single crystal diffractometers, neutron reflectometers, and time of flight (TOF ...

Reduction of the reliance of high-activity commercial and industrial radioactive sources is a nonproliferation goal. The Office of Proliferation Detection is interested in developing replacements for radiological sources to promote the adoption of non-radioisotopic alternative technologies where technically, operationally, and economically feasible. The goal of the DOE in reduction of the reliance ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop a machine learning-assisted family math preparation program that will help and encourage parents to provide early math instruction to young children, ages 4-8. Along with reading, developing mathematical proficiency is arguably one of the most important skills for young children to acquire, particularly with the growing importance of STEM (science, technology ...

Battery storage systems provide distributed energy storage capabilities for smoothing the load profile and coping with power fluctuations.A challenge in the utilization of battery systems is the manufacturing of high efficiency battery inverters.Traditional Silicon-based inverters do not offer high efficiencies and suffer from larger real estate requirements.Recent commercialization of low-cost Ga ...

The objective of this Phase I STTR proposal is to develop a first prototype of a digital assistant to support NASA engineers in space mission engineering and design tasks in Pre-Phase A and Phase A mission studies. This technology will: 1) increase the quality and diversity of the designs explored during early stage mission concept studies; 2) decrease the time and resources it takes to perform su ...
