Future spacecraft will require services offering higher data rates than those supported today and with improved SWAP and performance. Complicating the environment in which these technologies operate is the shortage of available and interference free radio spectrum. While the incremental advances in equipment design and performance in X, Ka bands requested in this topic may meet some of these fut ...

Development of the CESI focal plane and optics technology will lead to miniaturized hyperspectral and SWIR-band spectral imaging instrumentation compatible with CubeSat and other nanosat platforms. The project will implement the technology by developing a CubeSat-compatible SEMM instrument for global mapping of atmospheric methane concentrations. Specific Phase I technical objectives include: - ...

The Assimilation Dynamic Network (ADN) is a dynamic inter-processor communication network that spans heterogeneous processor architectures, unifying components, significantly improving flexibility, efficiency, and overall usability. ADN has the following main features: - A uniform programming model for intra-platform communication among heterogeneous processing resources that creates a homogene ...

Phase II goals will be to: 1. To develop a production version of an Integration toolkit (ITK) that can deployed at low cost to clinics using spina bifida EMR (to improve the efficiency of their participation in the NSBPR) 2. To pilot the ITK at selected SB-EMR clinics 3. To evaluate the impact of the production version of the ITK The ITK will be developed based on design principles & specifica ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project targets a practical dynamic spectrum management (DSM) architecture and a corresponding suite of innovative multi-layer algorithms, development of a DSM enabled multi-radio router and pilot trials for public safety communications. Dynamic spectrum management and access are two important areas of interest to wireless communications rese ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is designed to address the emerging need for evaluation of mHealth applications (apps). The goal of our project is to ?break down the ivory tower wall of academic medical research? and design a Platform as a Service (PaaS) to allow app developers to conduct rigorous evaluation. Through market-driven design and application of fundamenta ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project aims to apply knowledge developed from a laboratory astrophysics experiment to the challenge of purification of aluminum. Aluminum more readily oxidizes than any metallic impurities such as iron, which makes purifying aluminum cost prohibitive. This project began as an investigation in liquid metal of angular momentum transport mechani ...

This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase I project is seeking to develop a novel cost-effective strategy to modify dental implants with biomimetic nanofibers for controlled regeneration of gingival tissue. In order to seal the dental implants from bacteria and consequently protect the crestal bone from infection-induced deterioration, there is an unmet need to promote a prompt ...

This SBIR Phase I project proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of delivering a radically game-changing Big Data - based Supply Chain Analytics Platform. A complex supply chain, in consumer goods manufacturing and distribution, for example, involves data analysis and decision support in many areas. Today's tools and techniques used in supply chain analytics are too restrictive as they rely ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a compact wireless solution for the highly accurate monitoring of fetal and maternal health (comprising a stand-alone device and/or an add-on to an existing technology). The inexpensive and nonintrusive fetal heart monitor (FHM) will not only provide a new level of diagnostic accuracy for hospital and clinical use, but wil ...
