Algal Bioflocculation for SolidLiquid Separation
SBC: MICROBIO ENGINEERING INC Topic: 12cA key requirement for microalgae biofuels production is a very low cost harvesting technology. Commercially available solidliquid separation technologies applicable to microalgae, such as chemical coagulation, membrane separations and centrifugation, are too costly for biofuels production or other lowcost microalgae processes, such as wastewater treatment. A low cost harvesting process is bio floc ...

High Performance Carbon Materials and Fuels from Cold Plasma Catalysis of Natural Gas
SBC: NEI CORPORATION Topic: 09Despite the dramatic growth of natural gas resources, methane (the major component in natural gas) is underutilized as a feedstock for the production of chemicals and liquid fuels. Currently, methane conversion relies on an indirect two-step gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology. This process is energy intensive and has high operating costs. We propose to develop a new approach to directly convert methan ...

High power, magnet-free, circulator using angular-momentum biasing of a resonant ring
SBC: CALABAZAS CREEK RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 25There is a continuing need for high power circulators to protect the next generation of high power RF sources from waveguide reflections that can destroy the device. Currently, the power level of circulators is limited by the materials, specifically ferrites that provide the required non-reciprocal operation. New approaches are required that use materials capable of very high power operation. Stat ...

Nanoscale Metal Oxide Coatings for Corrosion Protection of Superalloy Materials
SBC: CALABAZAS CREEK RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 14dThe Brayton cycle for power generation offers significant advantages over the Rankin cycle typically used. Unfortunately, the Brayton cycle uses very high pressure and high temperature, supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as the heat transfer fluid. New materials that can handle the harsh environment of sCO2 are required to enable power generation and prevent issues with corrosion and erosion or efficiency d ...

Novel Module Architecture Development for Increased Reliability and Reduced Costs
SBC: Creative Light Source, Inc Topic: 07aStatement of Problem: The US DOE has set a goal to advance photovoltaics (PV) technology to reach installed costs of less than $1/Watt. This requires module costs below $0.50/ Watt. Thin film PV provides the lowest documented production cost per watt ($0.67) of any PV technology. Module reliability has a direct impact on the levalized cost of energy (LCOE), or the cost of the energy produced by ...

Practical Fiber Delivered Laser Ignition Systems for Vehicles
SBC: Seaforth LLC Topic: 08bImproved ignition methods are needed for advanced vehicle combustion systems, in particular those that allow reliable ignition of lean mixtures in gasoline engines at elevated pressures. Laser ignition is a candidate technology having the potential to address these needs. However, despite more than 40 years of laser ignition research, the technology is not yet in commercial use. A critical proble ...

Superconducting Wollaston Prism for Spin Echo Scattering Angle Measurement
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 09bSmall Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) has been an extremely productive materials science probe for several decades and is used extensively by researchers studying a wide range of subjects, including polymers, ceramics, metals and biological macromolecules and functions. However, it is limited to length scales from 1 to 100 nm and requires highly collimated and relatively monochromatic neutron beam ...

Efficient, high resolution, position sensitive liquid argon detectors
SBC: ADELPHI TECHNOLOGY INC Topic: 42aThis project will develop position-sensitive liquid argon detectors for a range of nuclear physics experiments. A particular need is for large area detectors with good energy, spatial and time resolution. Originally developed for calorimetry and the detection of neutrinos, weakly interacting massive particles and neutrinoless double beta decay, liquefied noble gas (LNG) detectors have ...

Nano-Patterned Cathode Surfaces for High Efficiency Photoinjectors
SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: 05aPresent day photoinjector cathodes have a poor lifetime or inadequate quantum efficiency for advanced applications. In addition, the efficiency is constrained by the frequency up- conversion in the drive laser from infrared to ultraviolet photons. Novel nanofabrication techniques allow for the sub-wavelength patterning of grooves and hole-array surfaces on the cathode. Exploiting the surface plas ...
