Laser-based profilometry systems have also been applied for nondestructive testing and measurement of both smooth-bore and rifled gun tubes. Working through Small Business Innovation Research program, the U.S. Army has developed laser-based profilometry systems for the inspection of the 120mm cannon used on the MI-Al Abrams main battle tank. Systems have also been built to measure the erosion of 25 mm and 155 mm rifled gun tubes.

The Biocat II technology is an improvement of the Biocat process (U.S. Patent 5,076,927), which treats acid mine drainage and heap leach effluents. The improvements were made under a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a component of the U.S. Department of Defense (D10362Y, p. 4). If adequate concentrations of sulfuric acid are not present, additional acid may be required to operate the process.

Although preliminary studies suggest that face-laminations can be obtained using adhesives made from condensed tannins that pass the standards of the American Institute of Timber Construction (< ), less is known about how to formulate adhesives using these materials for end-jointing of wood. This study, funded by the USDA Small Business Innovation Research Program, was undertaken to develop adhesive formulations containing 50% of sulfite extracts obtained from the bark of southern pine trees and demonstrate their use in... 

This work was funded by the USDA Small Business Innovation Research Grant No. 86-SBIR-8-0126. The authors thank Mr. Gary Smith for his assistance in testing specimens. Weyerhaeuser Company kindly made the end-joint test unit and provide laboratory space available. The Borden Chemical Company provided the PRF resin LT-75 and the hardener FM-260. The Chembond Company provided the resin RF-900. Boise Cascade Corporation kindly provided southern pine bark from its plywood plant at Oakdale, Louisiana.

For the 1993-1999 period approximately 53% of the grants were awarded by the NSF, 36% awarded by the DOD, with the remaining fraction awarded by the Department of Energy (DOE), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and other federal agencies. While NSE primarily funds academic research, a significant amount of their CVD funding goes to small companies in the form of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)... 

At Air Products we do work at national laboratories. We also work with other companies, both large companies, in the case of Chemical Industry Fnvironmental Technology Projects—a limited liability company that we formed with DuPont, Akzo Nobel—and with a lot of Small Business Innovation Research-type companies that bring a lot to the table from a feasibility standpoint in terms of new ideas. But in the remainder of this paper, I focus on the industry-university relationships and partnerships.

India rather than in the United States, Japan, and Western Europe. Technology transfer from U.S. universities to small start-up companies will likely continue. Federal funding programs for the formation of small businesses (such as the Small Business Innovation Research program) will become more critical for moving fundamental advances in chemistry to applications with societal impact.

The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed a bill that sets aside a share of federal research and development funds to advance innovation by small firms. Called the Small Business Innovation Research Program, the Intended result is that small firms will be spared, to an extent, the burdensome, uncertain process of competing for R D funds. Perhaps this program could develop into a synergistic relationship with academe.
