ATQA software program assesses the accuracy of DNA sequence basecalls that are generated by the current standard gel electrophoretic sequencing technology. A variant version of ATQA assesses the likelihood that a particular basecall represents a mixed sample, for example, due to heterozygosity, heteroplasmy, or contamination.

Forest Products Laboratory
New patented technologies are available to improve the pulping and paper making process. Polyoxometalates, an inorganic enzyme analog, is used to bleach pulp. Fiber loading is used to restore strength of recycled fibers. Biopulping is used as a pretreatment to decrease energy use.

Haun Labs
The new technology provides substantial energy, environmental, and economic benefits compared to current ceramic manufacturing methods by substituting traditional raw materials with waste glass. The key to the new method is the elimination of processing problems, which have greatly limited the use of recycled glass as a ceramic raw material.

Keybowl, Inc.
The orbiTouch Keyless Keyboard, is targeted at the millions of computer users who have limited hand, arm, or finger use. It is a fully functional 128 “key” keyboard made of two domes upon which the hands comfortably rest. The product is unique in that it requires no finger or wrist motion to use.

Materials Modification, Inc.
Nanogen – Economical and true continuous production process providing a variety of high quality and reproducible nano powders.P2C – Ability to consolidate parts without sintering agents – A true nanopowder consolidation method.

MeshNetworks, Inc.
This mobile technology shifts network intelligence from infrastructure to clients. Clients (such as laptops and PDAs,) therefore recognize and communicate directly with each other. First, this enables users to form private networks without any infrastructure. Further, transmissions can "hop" through one client and to another, extending range and improving capacity.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA Goddard has developed a low-cost procedure for producing high-yield single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), thus making the practical applications and enormous potential of the materials within reach.
Currently, the cost for one gram of SWCNTs can approach $1,500 and is strongly dependent on the amount of post processing required by the purchaser (low-end prices usually require further processing thus increasing the cost). In contrast, NASA Goddard’s method produces high yield SWCNT (approximately 75-80%) at a cost of nearly $10 per gram and requires no post processing. Producing high yield SWCNTs is accomplished though our unique method, which does not require a metal catalyst.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
This technology is a significant improvement over the existing fiber optic sol gel sensors. By having the doped sol-gel injected into the fiber optic core, the sensor becomes part of the fiber optic waveguide. Therefore, any photons generated from the reaction are transmitted down the fiber. This improves sensitivity greatly over existing technologies where the sol-gel surrounds the fiber and the photons have to be coupled into the fiber.

NetTalon Security Systems,Inc.
Police and firemen using a new and revolutionary Life Safety system can pinpoint on a computer screen the exact location of spreading fires and moving people within buildings and more accurately judge when and where to deploy help. This system from miles away can pinpoint the location of security violators in schools and on airplanes.

NIOSH
A system is provided to alert an individual to danger zones around machinery. The system includes a transmitter, which projects a magnetic field to the periphery of the machine defining the zone. A receiver, carried by the individual and activated by the magnetic field, provides an alarm alerting the individual when he enters the zone.

Novator AB
Orbital drilling/machining is a new technique for drilling/machining of high-quality holes in difficult-to drill materials, such as composites, aluminum, and titanium. It offers major advantages over conventional drilling such: burrless drilling, fewer steps to complete the hole, delamination free holes (composites), cutting tool reduction, dry drilling, efficient chip extraction
