Project
title: A High Resolution Scintillator-Based Neutron Detector
SBIR/STTR
Project ID#(s): DOE SBIR Phase II 25622
Benefits:
The over-riding benefit of
the product is that it will dramatically reduce the overall system costs of in
private and government sectors that utilize telecom and data com
interconnect systems. Overall cost
savings are estimated at $1 billion annually in the global telecom systems that
are searching for ways to reduce costs while quenching the customer’s desire
for more and more bandwidth.
Applications:
This cabling product will
used to connect various sections of high speed telecom/datacom facilities.
The basic R&D to develop the manufacturing method used the plastic
extrusion equipment purchased under a DOE SBIR grant to make neutron detectors.
Benefit
to the Company:
Based on the original work
done in and supported by our SBIR Grant and the subsequent patent, we formed
Digital Optronics Corporation (DOC), an equally owned joint venture with Samyang
Corporation, a $1 Billion Korean manufacturer of Textile and Industrial fibers,
foodstuffs and pharmaceutical delivery systems.
