To achieve the goals for the DHS SBIR topic “MCX Server-to-Server Communication, voice communications, 3GPP-Standards” (DHS231-005) to develop a unified process, strategy, and methodology to achieving interoperability of MCX server-to-server communications and to create a test tool for conformance and interoperability testing for MCX server-to-server communications, we will develop the ...

The rapid detection of highly toxic compounds, such as chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial compounds, pharmaceutical-based agents, and non-traditional agents, is paramount to industrial and national security. While multiple chemical detection platforms exist, the ability to detect toxic compounds is fundamentally limited by the available reference database of known chemical signatures. Recen ...

The broader/commercial impacts of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will protect retail stores from loss of merchandise.Brick-and-mortar retail is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, having lost billions of dollars over the past decade due to labor shortages, competition from e-commerce giants, and changing expectations from the modern consumer. To address thes ...

The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project includes reductions in food waste, energy use, and carbon emissions by developing a highly efficient and adaptable system for refrigerated transport. Mini-containers, which are small, insulated boxes with environments controlled by a central driving unit that contains a refrigerator and other environmental controls are proposed. The technology may in ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a new generation of smart machines used in the measurement of parts and assemblies. The team has demonstrated that this technology can convert existing coordinate measuring machines to self-driving autonomous machines. The ability to automatically measure parts is an important feedback link i ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in developing improved assessment tools and as a result, improved knowledge about muscle health and strength training.The Center for Disease Control (CDC) data shows that 76 million people in the US do strength training consistently and meet exercise requirement standards.The social and he ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Busisness Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in improving landfill diversion and recycling rates of non-industrial waste. This project targets high-traffic venues (HTVs) with controlled waste streams such as stadiums, universities, airports, and theme parks. Waste stream sorting to differentiate classes of materials for recycling and ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a next generation biomanufacturing platform that could redefine the nature of protein building blocks and become a major driver of US innovation and economic growth. By engineering new microbial organisms and their associated cellular machinery, this technology may enable ...

The broader impact/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a touchless, crop agnostic, automatic, always on, non-drifting, and cost-effective way of measuring soil moisture in large fields with data specific to each irrigation zone. The goal is to enable irrigators in water-scarce environments to maximize yields given the water available, and to mitig ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel metabolite diagnostic blood test indicative of early-stage diseases including cancer, chronic heart and lung disorders, and diabetes.The technology analyzes specific panels of blood metabolites indicative of changes in cellular function that occur with disease.This technology reduce ...
