The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will help COVID-19 patients with a lower burden to the medical system. This project will lead to a low-cost wearable internet of things (IoT) system to enable improved telemedicine. The collected data can be leveraged for public health purposes. The proposed project will develop telemedicine ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to increase the productivity (speed) of manufacturing machines at low cost without sacrificing quality. The project is specifically motivated by 3D printing (or additive manufacturing), a $9 billion rapidly growing industry whose adoption for mainstream manufacturing is hindered by the low speed of 3D printers. ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is to develop and commercialize a fast charging battery which offers better safety with long cycle life compared to today’s lithium (Li)-ion batteries. In traditional batteries, fast charging can cause the battery to become dangerously hot (more than 60°C/140°F) and reduce the life of the battery to one or two charges. The proposed batter ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the potential elimination of Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD is a devastating illness that afflicts transplant recipients who are recovering from chemotherapy and who suffer from suppression of their bone marrow function and immune system. GVHD associated illnesses lead to a very high rate of premature d ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve measurement science. Currently, special low-pressure chambers known as "vapor cells" are made by hand in a select number of precision glassblowing shops and suffer from poor dimensional reproducibility, low production capacity, irregular sizes, and variable vapor composition lead ...

The broader impacts of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project are to establish a novel and rapid drug-discovery platform aimed at infectious diseases. An opportunity is to tap into an unexplored diversity of human antibodies and develop them into therapies. This technology aims to identify drug candidates and select therapeutic candidates quickly. The established platform w ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will be to enable much more widespread use of quantum computing. Quantum computing will drive massive improvements in the world economy and the human condition in areas as diverse as drug discovery, novel materials, energy efficiency, and artificial intelligence. Industry analysts project rapid growth for the quan ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project addresses the degradation, waste and shortage of stored blood. This project proposes a blood bag capable of preserving the overall health and vigor of stored blood, including rare blood types, and extending the shelf life of blood and platelets. Donated blood begins to degrade on day 11 and ex ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project relates to the unmet need for new and effective therapeutics that target the lung. This proposal outlines a novel treatment for the pulmonary manifestations of COVID-19; however, this technology will also find use in other acute pulmonary disorders, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a platform to isolate cells based on their biophysical properties. The platform will help isolate cells that are not abundant and enable study of their role in biological function and diseases such as cancer. Specifically, a single chip platform will carry out sample preparation, manipulati ...
