The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project involves addressing complexities in fluid management, one of the most important issues in critical care. Suboptimal fluid management results in many complications such as pulmonary edema. Studies show that fluid overload is associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality. Recent studi ...

The broader impact/ commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project includes reducing emission of Diesel engines' toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) in challengingly low temperature exhaust operations, while eliminating damaging urea deposits saving warranty costs for vehicle manufacturers, saving fuel, reducing greenhouse gases CO2 and N2O as well as particulate matter, wh ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project are foundations for an emerging industry: insects in agriculture. Beta Hatch is pioneering the production of new animal feed ingredients, developing technology to mass produce insects, and creating STEM jobs. The proposed work will allow scaling insects as a sustainable protein-rich feed ingredient. W ...

PROJECT SUMMARY Sclerodermasystemic sclerosisSScis an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by vascular dysfunctionfibrosisand inflammationOne in three patients dies withinyears of diagnosisgiving SSc the highest case fatality rate of any systemic autoimmune diseaseA lack of biologically relevant SSc disease models has created a critical unmet need for more efficient preclin ...

Nearly a quarter of a million new cases of ovarian cancer are identified every year worldwide and the majority of these woman will die from their disease. When detected early, surgical cure rates exceed 90%, but currently most cases are detected at an advanced stage when the cancer has already disseminated. As such, our most pressing problem in ovarian cancer is a lack of tools to identify early s ...

Motor development plays a pivotal role in an infant’s overall development and has a cascading effect on social, cognitive, memory, and language ability. These functions can be compromised when motor development is disrupted; motor disruption is associated with generalized developmental delays. Early screening and identification of delays can allow early interventions with the goal of not just im ...

This project will develop and demonstrate a rechargeable Energy Storage System (ESS) that will interface directly into an adjustable frequency drive controlling a 100 HP 460 VAC 3 phase induction motor. The ESS must store enough energy to supply the existing motor/motor drive as it lifts and lowers a 14,000-lb. weight 180 3 times in succession. The ESS must integrate directly into an existing syst ...

Parts Life Incorporated (PLI) has completed the SAR Process and Reverse Engineering Risk Avoidance Process (RERAP) to demonstrate its ability to replicate the Seal Asy Hub, 2530-00-736-4672 through quality management programs. The DLA will have a competitive approved source for procurement of the Seal by utilizing PLI's method of manufacturing. The Materials, Equipment, Management, Measurements, E ...
