Self-powered mobile sensor for in-pipe potable water quality monitoring
Traditional stationary sensors for potable-water quality monitoring in a wireless sensor network format allow for
continuous data collection and transfer. These stationary sensors have played a key role in reporting contamination
events in order to secure public health. We are developing a self-powered mobile sensor that can move with the water flow, allowing real-time detection of contamination in water distribution pipes, with a higher temporal resolution. Functionality of the mobile sensor was tested for detecting and monitoring pH, Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO3-/CO32-, NH4+, and Clions. Moreover, energy harvest and wireless data transmission capabilities are being designed for the mobile sensor

In addition to a programmatic and financial overview, the report includes progress reports from 259 individual R&D projects in seventeen categories. The general areas of research include: engineered processes and materials; computational and information sciences; microelectronics and photonics; engineering sciences; pulsed power; advanced manufacturing technologies; biomedical engineering; energy and environmental science and technology; advanced information technologies; counterproliferation; advanced transportation; national security technology; electronics technologies; idea exploration and exploitation; production; and science at the interfaces - engineering with atoms
Micro/nanofluidic and lab-on-a-chip devices for biomedical applications
Micro/Nanofluidic and lab-on-a-chip devices have been increasingly used in biomedical
research [1]. Because of their adaptability, feasibility, and cost-efficiency, these devices
can revolutionize the future of preclinical technologies. Furthermore, they allow insights
into the performance and toxic effects of responsive drug delivery nanocarriers to be
obtained, which consequently allow the shortcomings of two/three-dimensional static
cultures and animal testing to be overcome and help to reduce drug development costs and
time [2–4]. With the constant advancements in biomedical technology, the development of
enhanced microfluidic devices has accelerated, and numerous models have been reported.
Given the multidisciplinary of this Special Issue (SI), papers on different subjects
were published making a total of 14 contributions, 10 original research papers, and
4 review papers. The review paper of Ko et al. [1] provides a comprehensive overview
of the significant advancements in engineered organ-on-a-chip research in a general way
while in the review presented by Kanabekova and colleagues [2], a thorough analysis
of microphysiological platforms used for modeling liver diseases can be found. To get
a summary of the numerical models of microfluidic organ-on-a-chip devices developed in
recent years, the review presented by Carvalho et al. [5] can be read. On the other hand,
Maia et al. [6] report a systematic review of the diagnosis methods developed for COVID-19,
providing an overview of the advancements made since the start of the pandemic.
In the following, a brief summary of the research papers published in this SI will be presented,
with organs-on-a-chip, microfluidic devices for detection, and device optimization
having been identified as the main topics.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Small business innovation research program solicitation: Closing date July 16, 1990
This is the eighth annual solicitation by NASA addressed to small business firms, inviting them to submit proposals for research, or research and development, activities in some of the science and engineering areas of interest to NASA. The solicitation describes the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program, identifies eligibility requirements, outlines the required proposal format and content, states proposal preparation and submission requirements, describes the proposal evaluation and award selection process, and provides other information to assist those interested in participating in NASA's SBIR program. It also identifies the technical topics and subtopics for which SBIR proposals are solicited. These cover a broad range of current NASA interests, but do not necessarily include all areas in which NASA plans or currently conducts research. High-risk high pay-off innovations are desired
Small business innovation research: Program solicitation
This, the seventh annual SBIR solicitation by NASA, describes the program, identifies eligibility requirements, outlines the required proposal format and content, states proposal preparation and submission requirements, describes the proposal evaluation and award selection process, and provides other information to assist those interested in participating in NASA's SBIR program. It also identifies the Technical Topics and Subtopics in which SBIR Phase 1 proposals are solicited in 1989. These Topics and Subtopics cover a broad range of current NASA interests, but do not necessarily include all areas in which NASA plans or currently conducts research. High-risk high pay-off innovations are desired
