Global Surveillance Augmentation Using Commercial Satellite Imaging Systems
SBC: VISION SYSTEMS INC Topic: AF153001ABSTRACT:A system is proposed to access, collate and process imagery from multiple small satellite constellations. The imagery is fused and registered to a common reference so that exploitation algorithms, such as change detection and event monitoring, are reported with accurate geographic coordinates. The system, called SatTel, is implemented as open source software that is designed to run on the ...

Vertical Steering Borehole Drilling Tool Incorporating Formation Water Salinity and Fracture Zone Detection Sensing
SBC: Aps Technology, Inc. Topic: 31The high-level radioactive nuclear waste resulting from mankind’s usage of nuclear fuels is extremely hazardous to the health and safety of people and living organisms, demanding long-time storage in a remote, yet benign, environment. The disposal of spent nuclear waste in deep crystalline basement rocks has been discussed and promoted in the public domain as a long-term solution to the permanen ...

Very Low Head Modular Turbine with Advanced Hydrodynamics and Power Takeoff
SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC Topic: 15According to a 2014 study commissioned by the Department of Energy, hydropower from more than 3 million untapped streams in the United States could potentially generate 65 gigawatts of electricity and help to reduce greenhouse emissions and pollution. However, the development of hydropower has been limited by several obstacles, as described by the United States Geological Survey: most of the prime ...

Improving Efficiency and Reducing Costs for the Supercritical C02 Design Process
SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC Topic: 18Supercritical CO2 cycles have the potential to significantly improve efficiency and reduce emissions in power generation. However, the unique fluid dynamic properties of supercritical CO2 that enable these higher efficiencies also complicate the design and layout of the system, particularly its turbomachinery components. The problem stems specifically from the highly non-linear properties of CO2, ...

Compact S-Band Pulse Compressor
SBC: omega-p r&d, Inc. Topic: 25High-power RF sources are one of the main sources of accelerator inefficiency. To increase efficiency, we propose to design in Phase I, then fabricate and test during Phase II, a multi-beam klystron with a new type of depressed collector. This collector allows recovery of a larger portion of energy in the spent electron beams than could a conventional depressed collector, and will significantly in ...

High efficiency reformer for hydrogen production
SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC. Topic: 09The increased demand for hydrogen supply at refineries can be met by reforming unconventional sources like still gas. However, processing capabilities are limited based on traditional approaches due to the varying composition of still gas. We propose a simple system for hydrogen recovery from still gas to meet the growing demand of hydrogen in the refinery process without significant capital inves ...

Advanced catalyst substrates and coatings for reduced PGM usage in after-treatment
SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC. Topic: 14The average platinum group metals loading on gasoline light duty vehicles needs to be reduced. However modern engine designs and engine operation strategies for maximizing engine efficiency create an added burden on the emissions control system. Consequently, reducing precious metal catalyst loading for improved emissions is becoming problematic. This has resulted in higher emissions control costs ...

Solar Energy Powered Material-Based Conversion of CO2 to Fuels
SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC. Topic: 18Conversion of carbon dioxide to useful products via reaction with methane is problematic due to the energy inputs needed to overcome the large endothermic heats of reaction involved. Moreover, use of fossil fuels or carbon-based renewable fuels as energy sources will result in more CO2 released than is converted. Non-carbon renewable sources of energy, including wind and solar, are intermittent an ...

Nitrogenase Inspired Peptide-Functionalized Catalysts for Efficient, Emission-Free Ammonia Production
SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc. Topic: 09Ammonia (NH3) is a top 10 energy consuming chemical in the United States (U.S.) and one of the most energy intensive chemicals to manufacture in the world. In addition to consuming 1-2% of world-wide energy, the production of NH3 also generates 350 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions yearly, which is ~1% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions world-wide. As such, novel NH3 manufacturi ...
