The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project advances precision manufacturing. The on-machine metrology system will have a transformative effect on highly efficient and precise optical manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and precision machining. These industries currently face a shared technical challenge: the lack of real-time quality control ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the current challenges associated with an increase in the incidence of orthopedic injuries and surgeries.The technology will stabilize and repair broken bones in the US and globally. Trauma, degenerative bone diseases, and bone tumors often result in broken bones that require a proce ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project includes creating radioisotope materials which can be used for high performance power production decay batteries used in deep space, medical applications, unmanned drones, and other uses. These materials will be able to provide electrical power for months or years at a time enabling game chang ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop a full satellite communication (satcom) terminal commonly known as VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) for fixed and mobile platforms such as residences, manned and unmanned aerial vehicles, and maritime crafts. This novel satellite communication antenna can be used for Low, Med ...

NIST Advanced Communications and Communications Technology Laboratory/RF Technology Division's focus area is on the next-generation wireless systems and recognizes the importance of mm‐wave communications for “key enabling technologies for 5G and beyond, including millimeter‐wave.” In response to this NIST CTL technology research program, the SBIR Phase I project will develop a high‐perf ...

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the United States, affecting one out of every nine older adults. However, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) can be difficult to diagnose, with physicians missing nearly half of all probable dementia cases. Rates of missed diagnosis are even higher among Black older adults. The majority of ph ...

High substrate costs limit the proliferation of many next-generation semiconductor device applications, such as high-efficiency GaAs-based photovoltaics for space applications, often consuming 50% of the cell manufacturing cost. We propose a novel substrate re-use technology, known as Sonic Lift-off (SLO), to drive down the costs of space photovoltaic manufacturing. SLO utilizes sound to separate ...

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal is submitted in direct response to NOT-HD-22-009 Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Innovative Technologies to Improve Assessments, Interventions, and Outcomes for Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities [IDD] (R43/R44). Persons of all ages with certain metabolic disorders are at-risk for metabolic crises when a certain metabolite accumulates, whi ...
