Fast and precise electrostatic beam position control for an atomic-resolution STEM
SBC: Nion Co Topic: C5510bC55-10b-270389Recent developments in electron microscopes, especially improved optics and new detectors have led to new types of experiments in the fields of physics, quantum information, and biology. With all the recent progress, one key system of the microscope, the scanning system, has fallen behind. The proposed development will introduce a fundamentally new type of scanning system that replac ...

Integrated Characterization and Modeling of Subsurface Properties Critical to Geothermal Energy Storage in Sedimentary Reservoirs
SBC: NEW ENGLAND RESEARCH, INC. Topic: C5513aC55-13a-270397To date, no integrated characterization and predictive modeling workflow has been proposed to optimize Geothermal Battery Energy Storage (GBES) systems in sedimentary formations. Of particular concern is the near wellbore formation integrity of GBES systems that are subject to Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) loading conditions: during injection, storage, and production c ...

Switched-Field Surface NMR for Enhanced Detection and Resolution of Shallow Groundwater
SBC: VISTA CLARA INC. Topic: C4724cC47-24c-271412This proposal addresses the challenge of non-invasively, economically, and accurately detect and imaging groundwater and hydrogeological properties in the top 30m of the subsurface. We will apply imaging methodologies at the core of medical MRI to efficiently map shallow groundwater and hydrogeologic properties at improved resolution. Conventional surface NMR has been proven as a pow ...

A Cost-Effective 3D Wildlife Tracking System
SBC: WILDLIFE IMAGING SYSTEMS LLC Topic: C5617aThere are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...

FeaturePrint: Computer Vision for Pebble Bed Reactors' Material, Control, and Accounting
SBC: ALITHEON INC Topic: C5640nC56-40n-272712The limiting factor in previous imaging approaches to material, control, and accounting of pebbles going through pebble bed reactors was the ability to reliably identify hundreds of thousands of unique pebbles in a short time. Moreover, the secondary approach of identifying types of pebbles does support fresh fuel loading by distinguishing fuel pebbles from moderator pebbles, but sti ...
