The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in providing solutions to farmers who are facing the culmination of decades of herbicide resistant weed species evolving from applications of synthetic herbicides. Creation of herbicides which are effective, naturally produced, scalable, and deployed using the current agronomic practices could alter ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel medical device for intramuscular injections that will reduce needlestick injury. Unintended or accidental puncture is the second most common occupational hazard for healthcare staff. An estimated 385,000 needlestick injuries occur in the United States each year impacting 5.6 million ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop a scalable, on-demand, research-based innovation for learners in virtual and recorded training programs. Research has shown that underrepresented populations arrive at an undergraduate institution less likely to have the advanced study skills or confident awareness to seek assist ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop and leverage an innovative hybrid intelligence, i.e., a unique combination of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with the wisdom of crowds, to help connect and empower both independent designers and small-to-medium-sized retailers/fashion buyers (together with supply chain partners), to help bring the o ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to help enable safe and inclusive internet interfaces with the worldwide public for limited purposes, starting with the purpose of providing a ledger system for digital currency. The inclusive aspect of the internet interface allows intermediaries and the worldwide public to use varied mech ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to implement a high-efficiency, low-power magnetic bearing that will enable the successful development of high-speed flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) both for space and terrestrial applications. FESS are mechanical batteries that overcome some of the limitations of lithium-ion batteri ...
