Feature Based Localization and Navigation for Miniature Underwater Vehicles
SBC: NEXTGEN AERONAUTICS, INC. Topic: SB141005Significant resources are required to ensure proper self-localization of submersibles without available reference signals such as GPS or LBL. This is compounded, when the vehicle remains submerged for extended periods of time which is often required for reconnaissance missions. In the case of a miniature autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), the self-localization challenge extends well beyond INS f ...

Developing and commercializing inorganic voltage sensing nanoparticles
SBC: Ocean Nanotech LLC Topic: SB141002This DAPPA SBIR proposal will develop a new class of voltage-sensing probes, type-II semiconductor nanorods with asymmetric band structure, to assay the bioelectrical states of human cells.Our previous study has demonstrated that nanorods can self-insert into the cell membrane and optically and non-invasively record action potentials (AP) at the single particle level. These nanoparticles, operatin ...

Portable Cold Atom Frequency Standard for Field Applications
SBC: AOSENSE, INC. Topic: SB141004We propose development of a high performance, portable atomic clock using cold atom technology. The clock will have short term stability of better than 10^-12 at one second and of 5x10^-15 at timescales of one day. The size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the clock will be

Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
SBC: Active Optoelectronics Topic: SB141001Our objective is to design and build a compact system that provides turnkey readiness for commercial and defense use of SNSPDs. Conventional SNSPDs face several limits that lead to tradeoffs between detection efficiency, bandwidth, dark count rate, jitter and operating temperature, and therefore prevent simultaneous realization of DARPA desired parameters in one device. We propose that amorphous N ...

Compact Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector System
SBC: Quantum Opus, LLC Topic: SB141001Superconducting nanowire photon detectors have enabled new scientific measurements and secure communication systems by improving the detection of near-infrared photons, a band that is traditionally problematic for semiconductor- and photomultiplier-based detectors. Although nanowire technology is maturing, significant applications and markets are untapped because of the lack of a "plug and play" s ...

High Efficiency Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
SBC: Photon Spot, Inc. Topic: SB141001Photon Spot will demonstrate the feasibility of simultaneously achieving near unity system detection efficiency, sub-Hz system dark count rate, >1 GHz count rates, and an ultra-small form factor in a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector system. We will fabricate detectors with high detection efficiencies in Phase I and implement novel methods to improve the count rate and form factor be ...

Next-Generation Voltage Sensitive Dyes for Cell Bioelectricity Measurements
SBC: AKITA INNOVATIONS LLC Topic: SB141002Akita Innovations proposes to develop the next generation of voltage-sensitive dyes for cellular bioelectricity measurements by engineering electric field sensitivity into a class of highly fluorescent dyes which heretofore have not been used for this purpose. The much higher brightness of these dyes will improve the sensitivity of the voltage measurements. Akita will also develop a method of ta ...

Voltage-Sensitive Diamond Nanosensors
SBC: DUST IDENTITY, INC. Topic: SB141002In this Small Business Innovation Research program, we will develop a new class of nanosensors that are high contrast, ultrabright and fast optical voltage-indicators from diamond nanocrystals for neural activity imaging applications in vitro and in vivo. These photostable and cytocompatible diamond nanosensors will be able to monitor the bioelectric states and sub-threshold events in human cells ...

Power Dense Free-Piston/Free-Displacer Stirling Cryocooler
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: SB141003Cryogenic cooling offers significant improvements to the operation of several types of electronic systems, including computers, IR detectors, and solid-state lasers. However, commercially available liquid-nitrogen generators do not meet the size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements of many defense systems. In this proposal, Mainstream identifies a method to make significant improvements in cry ...
