ATP 2000 Competition (October 2000)
OBJECTIVE : Develop a novel blood-fingerprinting system based on microvolume
laser scanning cytometry (MLSC) technology and light-emitting nanocrystals (QDOTTm
nanocrystals) for the rapid and comprehensive analysis of whole blood for cell-surface
markers, pathogens and biologically important soluble factors.
Total project (est.): $11,304 K
Requested ATP funds: $5,595 K
OBJECTIVE : Develop improved process-control technologies, models and design
tools to enable reliable design of gears and other precision machine components with
advanced nanometer-scale coatings for enhanced wear and performance characteristics in
heavy equipment.
Total project (est.): $9,588 K
Requested ATP funds: $4,778 K
OBJECTIVE : Develop materials and a continuous, low-cost, high-speed extrusion
process for making trilayer film electrodes and incorporating them into high-performance
rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, potentially reducing manufacturing costs by 30 to 40
percent.
Total project (est.): $4,046 K
Requested ATP funds: $2,000 K
OBJECTIVE : Develop a slim, lightweight, rechargeable, lithium-ion polymer gel
battery, with twice the energy capacity of current technology, that does not require
costly external safety circuitry in the cell pack.
Total project (est.): $2,693 K
Requested ATP funds: $2,000 K
OBJECTIVE : Develop inexpensive integrated optical components for advanced
communications networks using a new generation of hybrid glass for integration with
low-cost amplifiers.
Total project (est.): $3,346 K
Requested ATP funds: $1,998 K
