The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project lies in its potential to implement state-of-the-art radio communication systems faster and less expensively. Radio systems are an essential part of everyday life, serving roles from entertainment to public safety. But modern radio systems, designed to use the limited number of available frequencies effi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to design novel technologies for accurate and fast weather updates for severe weather surveillance using small radars. The technology increases accuracy with faster update rates and also has advantages in terms of decreased power consumption, size, and weight. Small and large airports may benefit ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a non-invasive, externally worn appliance for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition affecting over 88 million Americans (26% of the American adult population).Those impacted by OSA are at risk of serious comorbidities such as diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Many sufferers ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project focuses on the development of techniques that will facilitate the design and development of affordable, compact, and patient-friendly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. MRI systems are the preferred modality for a range of imaging types, notably pediatrics, due to their superior diagnostic capabilities, high resolution, and mini ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of an innovative, screenless, interactive educational device for early childhood education. The project will bring to market a book-like device that delivers audio content when the pages are pressed, establishing the viability of delivering mixed-media interactive content in science, ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the creation of an economical and climate-friendly method to produce valuable commodity chemicals from inexpensive feedstocks such as chemical waste streams. Chemical manufacturing accounts for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions: waste produced from manufacturing battery chemicals and recycling Li ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project enables people to intuitively interact with augmented reality technologies. Currently, augmented reality input modalities can be extremely unreliable, making it nearly impossible to use traditional mouse-and-keyboard applications on these devices. The company is proposing a device that may ove ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a high-performance, drone-based, wildlife telemetry technology that is economical and easy to use. Its improved performance and significantly lower cost than existing competitive technologies will empower users with greater capability and lower the barrier to entry for field data collection. This tec ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to decrease patient referral wait times. Referral wait times are often long since offices need to retrieve a large amount of medical information on a patient before they are seen by a doctor. Unfortunately, medical records are often not stored in one place, making it difficult to gather the ...
