areas that NIST will consider funding under its Small Business Innovation Research program, it said.

Innovative ideas are sought that create new ways to provide the benefits of a plug-and-play hardware and software architecture such as 1451 to a wider community of users. Simplicity comparable to the connection, programming and operation of home audio and video equipment should be the goal.” Proposals are due Feb. 15 -- 301-975-3085.
