Cybersecurity is an important part of national security in the twenty-first century. While cyber crimes and hacks garner a lot of attention, the social media side of cybersecurity is also critical, especially to track information environment threats. Many tools exist to analyze the firehose of publicly available information (PAI) from social media, but they provide no good way to aggregate an anal ...

nou Systems Inc. (nSI) has begun developing a low-cost, single-use, compact, propellant powered generator to augment the current capabilities of Lockheed Martin Corporation Rotary and Mission Systems MK39 EMATT. Our approach leverages recent advancements in safe, storable, high-impulse green propellants. Our generator operates on a controlled open-loop cycle, efficiently transforming the stored ch ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Research Innovation (SBIR) Phase II project is to reduce the economic, human, and environmental cost caused by the current disconnect between an object and its digital history. At the human level, consider hospital use cases: medical errors are estimated to kill upwards of 90,000 people annually. Many of these deaths can be traced to a ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Resesarch (SBIR) Phase II project will be in helping to close the homework gap in the United States. The homework gap has been a long simmering problem where 12 – 17 million K-12 students do not have reliable home internet to complete digital homework. Students that could benefit the most from learning applications that require home ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to increase safety and reduce weight and redundancies for many vehicular systems and electronic devices. This project will also enhance autonomous systems integration in terms of diagnostics and enable reconfiguration for a variety of safety-critical applications. The proposed self-healing, fault-tol ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project will address the unmet need for more effective vaccines that can be rapidly deployed to decrease the lag time between pathogen emergence and vaccine development, minimizing socioeconomic effects such as those seen in the COVID-19 pandemic. This new vaccine technology has the potential to dras ...

The broader impact/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to enable efficient monitoring of civil infrastructures and rapid decision-making on their structural safety. The conditions of aging structures are monitored using structural health monitoring (SHM) sensors. These sensors produce very large datasets.In this project, a data compression solutio ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project seeks to develop an improved era of infectious disease management, allowing rapid intervention for antibiotic therapy to stem the 30% mortality rate and associated cost impact of sepsis. With some 49 million cases worldwide and a 25-30% mortality rate, sepsis claims 11 million lives annually. Sepsis cases have be ...
