项目摘要

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is an energetically-based device to eliminate pathogens safely. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of sanitizing and protecting against viral pathogens known and unknown. The proposed approach of using energy for disruption of viral particles has high potential for sanitization. This electromagnetic approach can penetrate walls, thereby offering a method to sanitize hard-to-access building systems, such as HVAC air ducts and air flow systems. This SBIR Phase I project proposes that an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device can be used as an antiviral and antibacterial mechanism.   This project proposes to develop the world's first software-defined electromagnetic pulse into a wireless, “safe for humans” anti-bacterial and anti-viral device. This project will explore the use of varying electromagnetic fields to compromise the viral capsid and inactivate the virus. The project will identify the frequencies effective for pathogen inactivation and then will develop a device to deliver those frequencies. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是一种安全消除病原体的能量设备，持续的 COVID-19 大流行表明了消毒和预防已知和未知病毒病原体的重要性。所提出的利用能量破坏病毒颗粒的方法具有很高的消毒潜力这种电磁方法可以穿透墙壁，从而提供了一种对难以进入的建筑系统（例如暖通空调空气管道和空气）进行消毒的方法。该 SBIR 第一阶段项目提出电磁脉冲（EMP）装置可用作抗病毒和抗菌机制。该项目提议将世界上第一个软件定义的电磁脉冲开发为无线“对人类安全”的抗病毒装置。该项目将探索使用不同的电磁场来破坏病毒衣壳并灭活病毒。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
