This project will use a low-cost, high-yield, and simplified continuous approach to synthesize lithium iron phosphate iron (LFP) based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Sylvatex’s (SVX) proprietary nanomaterial platform has already demonstrated a significant breakthrough in synthesizing cathode materials for LIBs. This project will demonstrate the feasibility of producing LFP-b ...

Tiami LLC aims to develop a broadband Push-to-Talk (PTT) interoperability platform that interconnects non-network-based and mission-critical PTT (MCPTT) networks. Non-network-based PTT (NPTT) services are typically deployed as Over-the-Top (OTT) applications that connect to the network using cellular or Wi-Fi access, whereas MCPTT networks are deployed by mobile network operators based on Third Ge ...

Yotta Navigation proposes to develop Mass Fatality Tracking System (MFTS) tagging device to aid first responders in locating victims during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The proposed IHM-TAG leverages Yotta Navigation’s history of developing low-cost wearable devices, along with building on Yotta’s Intelligent Human Motion (IHM) software for accurate positioning in difficult GPS environments ...

Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) offers a thermodynamic optimum for high-density, low-cost storage as a key element in achieving economical hydrogen infrastructure. Verne is developing a cryo-compressor technology platform that will convert gaseous hydrogen (GH2) at low pressures (e.g. 20 bar) and 300 K, to CcH2 (60 – 80 K and 300 – 500 bar). These systems provide hydrogen with liquid-like dens ...

Makel Engineering, Inc., with subcontractors Sandia National Laboratory and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS Group)propose to develop a real-time wearable multi-threat aerosolized chemical detector (W-MACD) for use by DHS emergency response and law enforcement personnel in both land maritime operations.The wearable, multi-modal system will use a compact aerosol detector/sampler and a high sensitiv ...

Everything over IP and wide area cellular networks has not entirely solved the interoperability issues found in public safety communications. Prioritized public safety communicators are not able to connect with one another across major wireless carriers.We propose a systematic approach to identify an architecture and a set of standardized protocols forming a platform of interoperability. The purpo ...

TP Engineering personnel have extensive experience with electro-optic systems and high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) Laser systems. We have detailed knowledge of Pockels cell systems enabling active gated imaging through foliage at PRF 100 kHz PRF. Such systems can dramatically improve and protect Geiger-mode LIDAR by both controlling the transmitter output and gating out unwanted return lig ...

Many first responder organizations at various levels, including federal, state and local, as well as non-profit agencies each have different methods of identifying first responders on scene during an incident. The lack of an interoperable and standardized credentialing solution for first responders results in more challenges with communication and coordinated access to information on identificatio ...

Tiami LLC, a socially and economically disadvantaged small business located in a HUBZone, aims to develop a first-of-its-kind reduced-order modeling solution for data communications networks. We will develop a discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) state-space model for a general communications network. We will then apply projection methods such as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and bala ...
