This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to provide a safe, wearable device to to improve the quality of sleep. Sleep deprivation due to insomnia or other factors represents a significant health risk linked to various daily issues and later disorders in life. The lack of sleep costs the United States an estimated $411 billion in lost productivity and wages. This novel me ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I seeks to provide gallium nitride (GaN) membranes for the production of semiconductors for numerous applications including power electronics, radio frequency devices, and optoelectronics, etc. The prooposed technology seeks to alleviate two major problems in the current GaN-based manufacturing technology:thermal management ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Phase I project is to develop a novel artificial-intelligence (AI) robot-control paradigm to facilitate real-time tele-robotics and advance humankind’s robotic capability. This AI constantly interprets the intent of the operator in the context of the robot’s environment, and makes real-time adjustments to the motion of the robot to accomplish the ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to commercialize a novel technology that enables compact, efficient, silent, reliable, and fuel-flexible power generation. Existing power solutions can lack endurance, reliability, and portability and often generate harmful emissions; or they are prohibitively expensive or incompatible wit ...

Scene simulation is an integral component of weapon system research & development, allowing researchers to evaluate new sensor concepts entirely in the digital space as well as drive scene projection during hardware-in-the-loop testing. Unfortunately, research scientists are limited to a small set of available background environments that cover only a few geographic locations and environmental con ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable sustainable growth of the space ecosystem by making transparency, accountability, and predictability easy and simple for space asset operators and owners. Over the next decade, mankind will launch more objects into orbit than have launched in the entire history of space exploratio ...
