The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project involves a low-cost, convenient, anonymous floor occupancy analysis. This will be achieved by developing a powerless, flexible subfloor sensor mat that can integrate with regular flooring products. If implemented in buildings, the sensor mat will help raise space utilization, improve occupant ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project is to demonstrate feasibility and determine the capacity of an innovative advanced, high-rate wet weather treatment technology to cost-effectively protect environmental and public health during high-intensity rain events by eliminating sewer overflows and basement back-ups. The wastewater utility indu ...

Diversifying and providing biobased alternatives to products from oil are critical for increasing U.S. energy security, developing a clean energy security and creating domestic jobs. Diols are a class of chemicals used by the chemical industry to produce polyester polyol polymers and polycarbonate diols, which are used in the manufacture of plastics, paints, coatings and adhesives. Currently, all ...

ABSTRACT Current estimates suggest that death rates from Covid-19 will continue to rise and, at the very least, will lead to tens of thousands of deaths. Sadly, the circumstances of these deaths will likely increase the rates of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) well over the estimated 7% of the overall bereaved population. The DSM5 has now joined the ICD-11 in proposing similar diagnostic criteria a ...

High G Aerodynamic Controls | Approved for Public Release 18-MDA-9707 (3 Jul 18)

Development of novel propulsion systems in the past two decades has focused almost exclusively on cryogenic boost-phase systems (LOX/LH2, LOX/LCH4, and LOX/RP-1) for launchers and uppers stage engines, and Attitude / Reaction Control Systems (A/RCS) for in-space applications using green monopropellants such AF-M315E or LMP-103S. Basic research and development of scalable, non-toxic, non-cryogenic, ...

Next-generation naval ships will require electric machinery with at least 50% greater power density than is available today. Such machines must deliver up to 10’s of MW at 100-200 rpm with very high energy efficiency, extremely low noise signature, and reasonable cost. Electrostatic machine technology is often overlooked but is perfectly suited to achieving these goals. C-Motive Technologies pro ...
