Recovery Act - Smart Low-Cost Controller Chip for Grid-Friendly Household Appliances
Summary:
We will develop a semiconductor chip for embedding inside all electrical consumer appliances automatically reducing the power consumption during times of overload peak electrical demand each day. This almost billion-unit sub-$1.00 chip directly impacts electrical generation infrastructure investment, reduces pollution, and lowers US consumers' electric bills by over $1B annually.

Title:
Recovery Act - Parallel Tandem Organic Solar Cells with Carbon Nanotube Sheet Interlayers
Summary:
Solarno and UT Dallas propose to develop innovative nanotechnology for manufacturing high efficiency "parallel" multi-junction OPVs for NASA (space deployable) and residential commercial applications. The proposed technology is cost-effective and moreover multijunction OPVs with carbon nanotube charge collecting layers can be made ultralight, flexible and semi-transparent for novelty solar products.
