Makel Engineering, Inc., with subcontractors Sandia National Laboratory and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS Group)propose to develop a real-time wearable multi-threat aerosolized chemical detector (W-MACD) for use by DHS emergency response and law enforcement personnel in both land maritime operations.The wearable, multi-modal system will use a compact aerosol detector/sampler and a high sensitiv ...

The US Coast Guard (USCG) Search and Rescue (SAR) program’s mission is to prevent loss of life in every situation where actions or resources could possibly be brought to bear. Because of this serious obligation, the USCG expends resources to pursue all distress notifications until they can be identified as a hoax. Sector Communications Unit (CU) watchstanders typically spend 12- hour watches lis ...

To eliminate the release of ventilation air methane (VAM) associated with coal production, the core challenge is how to oxidize methane given the low concentrations. Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes an innovative modular array combining three key elements: (1) short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design to achieve maximal total conversion in a small volume, (2) catalyst formulati ...

This project will use a low-cost, high-yield, and simplified continuous approach to synthesize lithium iron phosphate iron (LFP) based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Sylvatex’s (SVX) proprietary nanomaterial platform has already demonstrated a significant breakthrough in synthesizing cathode materials for LIBs. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of producing LFP-b ...

Tiami LLC aims to develop a broadband Push-to-Talk (PTT) interoperability platform that interconnects non-network-based and mission-critical PTT (MCPTT) networks. Non-network-based PTT (NPTT) services are typically deployed as Over-the-Top (OTT) applications that connect to the network using cellular or Wi-Fi access, whereas MCPTT networks are deployed by mobile network operators based on Third Ge ...

Yotta Navigation proposes to develop Mass Fatality Tracking System (MFTS) tagging device to aid first responders in locating victims during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The proposed IHM-TAG leverages Yotta Navigation’s history of developing low-cost wearable devices, along with building on Yotta’s Intelligent Human Motion (IHM) software for accurate positioning in difficult GPS environments ...

Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) offers a thermodynamic optimum for high-density, low-cost storage as a key element in achieving economical hydrogen infrastructure. Verne is developing a cryo-compressor technology platform that will convert gaseous hydrogen (GH2) at low pressures (e.g. 20 bar) and 300 K, to CcH2 (60 – 80 K and 300 – 500 bar). These systems provide hydrogen with liquid-like dens ...

This project identifies embedded libraries in compiled executables by a combination of traditional matching and control flow-based machine learning techniques. The goal is to mitigate vulnerabilities hidden by embedded libraries in programs. The commercial application is a new enterprise risk detection tool, increasing software protection capability.

The objective of the solicitation is to develop a commercial capability and product to analyze compiled binary executables of Windows applications, that can detect and report embedded software library information in multi-faceted software packages. The libraries are shared, for example as Windows .dll files, or are directly linked into static binaries, and are not available as source code. Normall ...

Metals such as rare earths, copper, cobalt, and nickel continue to be critical to the energy industry and advanced technology applications. Traditional mining of these elements is predominantly located in far-flung regions of the world. MSWI ashes represent a unique opportunity as a source for some of these metals here in the U.S. The current unit cost of metal extraction and refinement, particula ...
