SBIR Phase I: High Quality, Low Cost, Polycrystalline CdS/CdTe Photovoltaic Cells.
SBC: PrimeStar Solar Inc. Topic: ELThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 will develop new processes for producing lower cost and higher quality thin films from the compound semiconductors CdS and CdTe. These will be used to more inexpensively produce high performance photovoltaic modules that generate electricity from sunlight. Thin film CdTe-based photovoltaics currently require a post-deposition CdCl2 treatment ...

Production and Deployment of Photosynthetic Nitrogen-Fixing Biofertilizers
SBC: Primordial Solutions, Inc. Topic: N/AThe soils in arid environments of the Western United States are experiencing increasing pressure from mining, energy extraction, ranching, and population. These pressures lead to erosion, landscape degradation, and reduced biodiversity, that is shortly followed by unsustainable environments and degraded economies. The purpose of this project is to examine the factors that promote the reestablishme ...

Low-cost Conversion of High Free Fatty Acid Oils and Fats into Methyl Esters (Biodiesel)
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N/AExisting biodiesel production methods rely on refined vegetable oils and the refining process adds considerable cost to biodiesel product. This project seeks to develop a new biodiesel production processes that can tolerate unrefined oils and fats containing high levels of free fatty acid, thus lowering the cost of biodiesel and utilizing lower-grade vegetable oil and animal fat sources.

SBIR Phase I: New N-type Polymers for Organic Photovoltaics and other Electronic Devices
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: ELThis Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a new class of n-type semi-conducting polymers for thin film organic solar cells. High efficiency photovoltaics (PVs) based on inorganic semiconductors have good efficiencies (up to 30%) but are extremely expensive to manufacture. Organic PV technology has the potential to overcome this problem through the use of high-thr ...

MOCA: Monitoring of Crowd Activities
SBC: SECURICS, INC. Topic: SOCOM06014The MOCA project will develop a network-enabled DSP+FPGA-enhanced image-intensified embedded system for self-contained low-power monitoring of crowds in open and in complex urban terrain. The Phase I effort will develop new algorithms explicitly for crowd management, rather than building on the traditional intelligent video surveillance algorithms that are focused on isolated targets in motion. P ...
