Reducing Cost, Improving Efficiency and Safety of Farming Crickets as Food Ingredients
SBC: ALL THINGS BUGS LLC Topic: 812N/A
SBIR Phase I 2015 Department of Agriculture -
The use of acousto-ultrasonics to determine the quality of the brazing and grinding of carbide tipped cutting tools
SBC: S.T.S., INC. Topic: 81Thin saws, although more difficult to manufacture and use, conserve valuable wood fiber resources and make the users of these thin saws more competitive globally. As such, thinner sawblades are growing in popularity in spite of the "challenges" associated with their manufacture and use. Three of those challengers revolve around brazing tips into thinner sawblades1) Because the steel is thinner, le ...

Biological feedback control of LED grow lights
SBC: PhytoSynthetix Topic: 813In controlled environment agricultural (CEA) systems (greenhouses and indoor plant production facilities) light is the most energy consuming, and yet the least controlled, input factor for plant growth. Plants can dissipate up to 80% of the absorbed light energy as heat through physiological protective mechanisms (non photochemical quenching) and this light cannot be used for plant growth. Light e ...

Novel, Allergen Specific, Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Use in Laboratory and Inline Food Process Monitoring Applications
SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC Topic: 85The emerging challenges associated with human exposure to food allergens have fueled an urgent need for development of novel detection and sensing systems. Food industries, regulatory agencies, and allergy suffers require the ability to quickly test and continuously monitor in-situ for specific allergens and/or food contaminants in food and food processes.Film that adhere specifically to nut aller ...

A Low-Cost Pathogen Detection System for Food Safety
SBC: Access Sensor Technologies LLC Topic: 85Food safety is a global problem, which costs the world billions of dollars and over a million lives annually. Access Sensor Technologies proposes to develop a rapid, low-cost, easy to use system for the measurement of food borne pathogens. The proposed kit builds off of patent-pending technology that will deliver exceptional ease-of-use as well as performance metrics (time, cost, labor) exceeding ...

A Regenerable Sorbent for Deep Desulfurization of Alpha Pinene
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 81Crude Sulfated Turpentine (CST) is a by-product of the Kraft wood pulping process, and its derivatives (e.g., terpenes such as alpha pinene) are used as fragrances in commercial products ranging from cosmetics to detergents. They can also be, and are, catalytically transformed into valuable chemicals by hydrogenation, oxidation and isomerization reactions. However, turpentine and its derivatives c ...

Cost-Effective Biomass Conversion via an Online Carbohydrate Monitoring Device
SBC: ADVANCED MICROLABS, LLC Topic: 88Biomass is a renewable resource with high potential to achieve cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy to the American consumer, but yet is still deemed inefficient. First, current methodologies only allow conversion of cellulosic materials into biofuel, leaving energy-rich hemicellulosic material unutilized. Second, even though carbohydrate conversion is the focus of biomass ...

Regenerable Ethylene Removal
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: 813Fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers are transported and stored in refrigerated containers. As the produce ripens, ethylene gas is produced, which further ripens the product and can lead to premature spoilage. Most fruits and vegetables emit ethylene gas which promotes ripening. Certain species, such as apples and bananas, produce more ethylene than others. Elevated ethylene levels can significant ...

Retrofit Emissions Control Technology for Agricultural Diesel Sources
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: 84Agricultural equipment powered using hydrocarbon fuels emit VOCs, CO, soot, particulates, and NOx. However, controlling and reducing these emissions can impose a heavy economic burden on farmers and the agricultural industry. For example, equipment powered by two cycle engines cannot economically employ catalytic converter technology for highway gasoline and diesel engines. Thus, economic control ...

Lipid-based ELISA test for detection of dairy cattle with Johne`s disease
SBC: ECKSTEIN DIAGNOSTICS, INC. Topic: 83Johne's disease (JD) is a significant problem in animal health, and this is underscored by its identification by the USDA as the most important infectious disease in ruminants and one of the priority diseases for 2009/2010. Infection with MAP usually occurs after birth and infected calves go through a short period with mild or no symptoms during which they shed the bacteria in feces. This short pe ...
