Quantum Devices
In earlier SBIR efforts involving light-emitting diodes (LEDs) developed by MSFC SBIR company Quantum Devices, the novel technology was used to activate light-sensitive, tumor-treating drugs as part of an adjunctive cancer therapy and also to speed up the healing process for hard-to-heal wounds. More recently, the tiny, pinhead-sized LEDswhich were originally used for plant growth research in spacehave been playing a key role in the treatment of oral mucositis. Often times high-dose chemotherapy patients contract this condition, which produces ulcerations in the mouth and throat, severe pain and, in some cases, inflammation of the entire gastro-intestinal tract. Use of the Quantum-developed LEDs is currently providing significant relief to pediatric bone marrow transplant patients suffering the ravages of this condition.

AZ Technology
Since its inception, the cornerstone of AZ Technology’s workload has stemmed from SBIR contracts. As the company’s name suggests, its efforts cover the gamut from “A” to “Z”. Several SBIR contracts have involved special paints and coatings that can withstand the harsh environment of space. A range of communications tools developed for the SBIR program includes the TeleOPerations System (TOPS™), which uses commercial personal computers and Web-based communications to remotely control and monitor systems. The AZ-developed Portable Spectroreflectometer has been used to measure key thermal control properties of material surfaces during extra-vehicular activities. The company’s many successful SBIR efforts were highlighted in a 2000 segment of Small Business School, a nationally syndicated public television program.
