The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project derives from the fact that increasing the reliability and robustness of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) will directly increase their adoption in real world applications. CPS technology is directly applicable to a broad range of sectors, including utility grids, smart buildings, manufacturing, h ...

Phase I project is to improve the quality of care for patients who suffer from internal scarring triggered by abdominal surgery. Patients with severe scar formation often require a follow-up surgical procedure called adhesiolysis. Adhesiolysis is performed to cut away the internal scars that have bridged different organs or caused intestinal obstructions. Annually, 540,000 adhesiolysis procedures ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable individuals and businesses to create and manage the plethora of passwords required by today's information infrastructure. The National Cyber Leap Year initiative identified the need to change the game in cybersecurity, increasing costs for attackers and easing the burdens of self- ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop a new microscope that integrates biodynamic imaging with conventional phase contrast microscopy for use in drug development and other research applications. Accurately capturing the signatures of three-dimensional biological systems provides more realistic measures of drug effic ...

The significant gap in the healthcare services available to rural seniors is well supported by prior research. Frequently, rural seniors must travel long distances regardless of weather conditions to healthcare facilities. The senior's family members often worry about their loved ones and may not get accurate information regarding their health and behaviors, and falls, missed meds, and nutriti ...

Techshot proposes the L4 ArchitectUre for Next-generation Crewed Hardware (LAUNCH), a set of open-source software components that leverages the verified separation kernel of seL4 to create a robust achievable system that can be used to reduce the cost and development time of highly reliable systems like those used on crewed space flight. With over a 25 year history of developing life science paylo ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will establish the ability to measure key properties in the MEMS fabrication process to help MEMS foundries and designers build more accurate sensors while shortening the design cycle and will establish that electrically probed self-calibration has the potential to replace the current costly and cumbersome physical calibration approach. Calib ...
