The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project improves outcomes for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). On average 518,000 preterm infants are born in the US each year and 49% experience difficulty feeding after discharge. Preterm infants who cannot successfully feed are at increased risk of hospital readmission. In ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project provides virtual interfaces that can be dynamically customized to address the challenge of user adoption in augmented reality (AR) products. This project overcomes previous limitations for AR such as the lack of interoperability, user-acceptance, scalability, and application-aware user intent ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve the clinical care of patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) and to reduce the associated costs. CAD remains the most common form of heart disease, afflicting more than 18 million adults and costing the U.S. healthcare system over $90 billion annually. Advances in diagnostics to improve ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Approximately 3.5 million American children and adults have a diagnosis of autism. ASD is considered a lifelong pervasive disorder and, without proper treatment, individuals with ASD may ha ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to enable the affordable and energy-efficient design of advanced powered lift aircraft, creating aircraft capable of transporting people and things to new locations. The reduction in transport cost and emissions made possible by this project may ensure that the advanced air mobility market, expected to grow to ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to develop a synthetic lung surfactant product for the potential treatment of serious respiratory illnesses in neonatal patients.Bronchopulmonary dysplasia affects 10,000-15,000 pre-term infants per year and has a high mortality rate. Exposure of immature lung tissue to air results in infla ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to derisk a new membrane manufacturing technology for biogas upgrading.Renewable natural gas (RNG) is attractive as a carbon neutral energy source as it is derived from organic wastes such as food waste, agricultural waste, and municipal biosolids. RNG is part of biogas and requires cost- ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve shellfish production at scale and in an environmentally sustainable fashion, using oyster farming as a launching pad.Today, most oysters are farmed nearshore under ecological stress.This project advances the culturing of microalgae using internal waste streams and those from other food industries. Th ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project is to minimize the number of hospital-associated infections which contribute to almost 100,000 deaths each year in the US at an annual cost exceeding $30 B. Reducing the surface-borne transmission of pathogens can limit the spread of pathogenic diseases, thus minimizing transmission from contaminated ...

Multi-Dimensional Event Sourcing & Correlation - Publicly Available Information (PAI) (MDESC-P) will support collection jointly across disparate PAI sources with coordinated cueing of more constrained intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) sources. The primary objective for MDESC-P is to deliver a scalable and automated PAI collection management solution using a ...
