This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop an optimized prototype of the UNCOPIER-a chemical-free, energy-efficient, ACIM-based device designed to non-destructively deink laser-xerographic prints one sheet at a time. Acoustic Coaxing Induced Microcavitation (ACIM) is a novel, chemical-free, and energy-efficient process which uses only "Silent Sound and Clean Water." Underlying ACIM's energy efficiency is microcavitation's ability to concentrate an enormous amount of energy on an extremely small (i.e. sub-microscopic) point. These controlled concentrations of energy result in nearly spontaneous cleaning which does not hurt the substrate. ACIM is the ideal technology for deploying energy exactly at the point of use.UNCOPIER technology will revolutionize the paper recycling industry in a number of ways, as well as innovation in the recycling process itself. Since the UNCOPIER leaves the deInked paper immaculately white and undamaged, it will save environmental resources by making it possible to manufacture new print grade paper from the recycled laser-xerographic prints. The UNCOPIER is being developed as an office machine to advocate a pioneer method for recycling paper-at-source deinking, "one sheet at a time." DeInking paper prior to recycling protects confidentiality. This novel approach will appeal to banks, hospitals, law firms, government agencies, and other institutions interested in recycling, but also concerned with safeguarding confidentiality. The UNCOPIER system will reduce recycling costs and enables vital commercial motivations for its improved recycling endeavors.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目将开发出无效的无化学性，节能性，基于ACIM的设备的优化原型，该设备旨在一次无损地造影激光 - Xer摄图一次性打印。 声学哄骗诱导的微浪费（ACIM）是一种新型，无化学且节能的过程，仅使用“无声声音和清洁水”。 基本的ACIM能源效率是微浪费能够将大量能量集中在极小（即亚微观）点上的能力。 这些受控的能量浓度会导致几乎自发的清洁，这不会损害底物。 ACIM是在使用点上精确部署能源的理想技术。Uncopier技术将以多种方式彻底改变纸质回收行业，并在回收过程本身中进行创新。 由于不稳定的纸将纸质的纸完全固定而损坏，因此可以通过从可回收的激光造影印刷品中生产新的印刷级纸来节省环境资源。 Uncopier正在作为办公室机器开发，以提倡一种先驱方法，用于回收纸上的纸质，“一次是一张纸”。 在回收之前去除纸可以保护机密性。 这种新颖的方法将吸引银行，医院，律师事务所，政府机构和其他有兴趣回收利用的机构，但也关注保护机密性。 不较高的系统将降低回收成本，并为改进的回收努力带来重要的商业动机。
