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 ...

Traceability of Shrimp Utilizing Trace Elemental Analysis
SBC: APPLIED FOOD TECHNOLOGIES, INC Topic: 85Globalization of our seafood supply, the lack of international standards, and the numerous reported instances of fraudulent labeling of seafood products has reduced consumer confidence in seafood across the country. In addition, concerns of this rampant mislabeling of seafood products, which could lead to seafood safety issues, have prompted many to look at traceability as a means to track seafood ...

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 ...

Development of a BtBooster Synergist for Bt Transgenic Plants
SBC: INSECTIGEN INC Topic: 82Insecticidal efficacy is a major insecticide market driver. In 2004, InsectiGen, Inc. announced a scientific breakthrough, BtBooster, a new technology that enhances the performance of the leading biopesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Although extended efforts to improve Bt biopesticides have led to the discovery of over 250 cry genes, only a few are deployed in Bt plants. BtBooster is a pepti ...

A Biogas-Tolerant Engine-Generator for Advanced Agricultural Waste Management Systems
SBC: MAINSTREAM ENGINEERING CORP Topic: 811Anaerobic digesters are capable of producing methane-rich biogas from animal manure and also offer the advantages of controlling odors, reducing pathogens, and minimizing the environmental impact of the waste. The biogas produced from anaerobic digesters is a renewable, distributed source of energy that can be used to generate electricity to offset power consumption on farms. Unfortunately, biogas ...

Desulfurization of Biogas Derived from Animal Manure
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 811Farms and dairies generate byproducts containing more than 2 quadrillion Btu of energy per year. This energy is either not used at all or used in old and inefficient processes. Particularly, the use of biogas generated from bio-waste in distributed fuel cell systems presents a realistic, near-term solution that can yield large energy efficiency improvements. However, the biogas often contains rela ...

Low-cost Removal of Dissolved Solids and Fermentation Inhibitors for Cellulosic Ethanol
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 81While significant progress has been made in the conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuel ethanol, it has not yet been commercialized on a wide-scale because a number of important technical problems remain unsolved. If these challenges can be overcome, cellulosic ethanol is much more promising as a renewable bio-fuel than corn ethanol because it produces a much greater net greenhouse gas (GHG) emis ...

Semiconductor Ultraviolet Irradiation Devices for Greenhouse Crops
SBC: Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. Topic: 813We propose developing, manufacturing, fielding and validating environmentally friendly, energy efficient revolutionary ultraviolet irradiation devices (UID) to improve nutritional value of greenhouse crops. UIDs will be based on a new technology to produce deep ultraviolet semiconductor Light Emitting Diodes (DUV LEDs) with emission wavelengths below 300 nm. DUV LEDs can be designed and manufactur ...
