High Force Spring Clamp System-A system to substitute spring clamps for bolts when connecting Superconducting RF Cavities in Order to Greatly Reduce Particulate Generation in a Clean Room Environment
SBC: HYPERBOLOID LLC Topic: 30aThis proposal for an SBIR project is to design and develop a simple system to assemble and seal the vacuum joints of SRF Cavities. The System substitutes highly sprung,“C” shaped spring clamps for bolts and nuts for applying sealing force on the metallic gaskets of cavity flanges. The system minimizes particle generation during assembly in the clean room by avoiding the rubbing/shedding contac ...

Oxygen Separation Membrane For Oxy-Fuel, Coal-Fired Power Plants
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: 22bA more efficient, scalable and cost-effective technology is needed to separate oxygen from air for advanced coal-fired power plants based gasification and oxy-fuel combustion. Oxygen-fired systems generate power more efficiently than conventional plants and only water and low concentration contaminants are required to be removed from the flue gas to produce carbon dioxide suitable for transport. C ...

Highly Transparent Aerogel with Refractive Index < 1.01 for High Energy Particle Detection
SBC: Scintilex, LLC Topic: 31dCherenkov radiation, caused by fast charged particles in a transparent medium, is widely used for charged particle identification. To date, gaseous, liquid, and solid radiators have been used as sources of Cherenkov radiation. Aerogels with low refractive index and high light transmittance, are highly desirable for Cherenkov detectors. Development and testing of aerogels with a refractive index as ...

Non-destructive, Functional Metabolic Imaging of Plant and Microbial Systems
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 27aFunctional metabolic imaging of plant and microbial systems requires a sensitive, high spatial resolution microscopy method that can image metabolically important compounds in situ. This will require new chemically sensitive imaging methods to be developed. In this SBIR/STTR, we will develop a new coherent Raman-based microscopy technique that will improve ensitivity over existing stimulated Raman ...

Ground-based Water Vapor Atmospheric Vertical Profiler
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 25bDetailed accurate data on temperature variations and water vapor concentration distributions are needed for weather and climate forecasting. Water vapor is particularly important for predicting precipitation amounts from storms. Measurements are needed from the ground to the top of the troposphere at about 10 km altitude. Existing ground-based instruments often have measurement uncertainties due t ...

Advanced Computation Methods towards High-Resolution Fiber Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing
SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED Topic: 21aCommercial-scale geothermal reservoirs are thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface, so scientists rely on indirect measurements to reconstruct 3D subsurface reservoir maps from seismic vibrations, electromagnetic waves, or gravity measurements. Geothermal operators typically use electromagnetic or gravity surveys, but seismic surveys are preferable because they enable higher-resolution 3D su ...
