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 ...

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is a critical global public health emergency and many countries are failing to contain the virus's spread due to slow and insufficient testing. While several diagnostic methods are now available, most tests are either reagent-intensive and must be done in CLIA-approved labs, making them expensive and slow to report results, or rapid and inexpensive, but potentially l ...

We will develop a theoretical foundation for all-domain Course of Action (COA) planning and scheduling leveraging AI/ML and automation.  This Edge Based Cross-domain Services (EBCS) framework will simplify COA planning by drawing inferences about margins of value-to-cost.  Predicting how satisfaction of high-level objectives and constraints scales with the number of entities, distance, and servi ...

Direct bioelectronic detection of SARS-CoV-2 from salivausing single-molecule field-effect transistor arrayNucleic acid tests have become the gold-standard for diagnostic testing for COVID-19, usually performed in specialized laboratories. Most are based on reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The time required for specimen transport and processing results in a t ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is in addressing an unmet need in incomplete colonoscopy procedures. Incomplete colonoscopy procedures can result in missed colorectal cancer and ultimately increased healthcare expenditures related to follow-up procedures. Use of current balloon overtubes during colonoscopy can significantly ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to demonstrate the cognitive runtime capabilities of edge native Internet of Things (IoT) platform that offers significant gain in incremental operational intelligence, real-time monitoring, and autonomic functions. As the edge computing capabilities infiltrate into industrial IoT applicati ...

The D2S2 project requires an electric propulsion system to complete large orbital change maneuvers and station keeping of an ESPA-class satellite. The system must provide the required total impulse while minimizing mass and providing sufficient thrust to

Developing Vertebrate-Specific Replication-Defective Dengue Virus asa Novel Single-Cycle Dengue Vaccine Candidate Abstract With an estimated minimum of 390 million dengue virus (DENV) infections per year, the DENV epidemic was listed as one of the worldandapos;s top 10 public health threats by WHO in 2019. At present, there is no specific treatment. A universal vaccine is urgently needed. DENV vac ...
