This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will research and develop a maskless lithography tool based on the results of the feasibility study. The company has a unique and proprietary approach to achieve higher throughput and lower cost than currently available maskless lithography tools. The approach will employ Line Light Modulator (LLM) to pattern wafers with a linear arra ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will explore the feasibility of production of high-quality hydrogen in remote, outdoor locations using locally generated wind power and excess water from coal-bed methane (CBM) wells. After adapting wind survey data from several sources to a specific site in northeast Wyoming, the study will create a multivariate mathematical model to ...

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT ARE TO DETERMINE IF A SYSTEM DESIGNED AROUND THE HIGH SHEAR PIN MIXER WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE 1) DISTRIBUTION OF CHEMICALS IN SUSPENSION FERTILIZERS, THEREBY MINIMIZING PRECIPITATION AND CRYSTALLIZATION, AND 2) GEL STRENGTH OF THE SUSPENDING AGENT WHILE MINIMIZING THE COMMON VISCOSITY PROBLEM AND SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE "STORAGE LIFE" OF THE SUSP ...

Although the state of Wyoming ranks second in the nation in wool production, a commercial scouring facility does not exist in this region. Raw wool, called greasy, is shipped out of the region, and more often out of the country for further processing. Rarely does this Wyoming product ever return to its state of origin. Value is added outside of the state. During Phase II, we will operate a localiz ...

The SSTH directly responds to a need that was declared by Wyoming ranchers in more than 300 surveys collected during Wyoming agriculture tradeshows between 2007 and 2011. Nationwide, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather maps indicate that 29 entire states plus portions of 7 more endure freezing temperatures for at least 4 months annually. In this combined area, an estimat ...

Over the past decade, rural school systems have seen a rapid expansion in the number of Hispanic/Latino students who enter school with limited and non-English speaking abilities, and rural schools are being challenged to accommodate this rapid population growth and the education of students with Limited English Proficiency (LEP). There are over 5 million LEP students in the U.S., with more than 30 ...
