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 ...

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 ...

Everything over IP and wide area cellular networks has not entirely solved the interoperability issues found in public safety communications. Prioritized public safety communicators are not able to connect with one another across major wireless carriers.We propose a systematic approach to identify an architecture and a set of standardized protocols forming a platform of interoperability. The purpo ...

TP Engineering personnel have extensive experience with electro-optic systems and high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Laser systems. We have detailed knowledge of Pockels cell systems enabling active gated imaging through foliage at PRF 100 kHz PRF. Such systems can dramatically improve and protect Geiger-mode LIDAR by both controlling the transmitter output and gating out unwanted return lig ...

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 ...

Methane emissions are responsible for 20% of greenhouse gas warming. A proven, economical way of mitigating these emissions is to find high-flow methane sources and convert the methane stream into carbon dioxide, using flares or generators, mitigating 96% of the warming effects. We propose to develop a miniature methane flare, capable of handling emissions from sources in the range of 10-200 tonne ...
