Real-Time In-Situ Measurement of Void Fraction and Specific Surface in Fresh Concrete
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 171FH2Water expansion during freeze-thaw cycles can cause deterioration in concrete, leading to scaling, cracking, and crumbling over a period of years. Resistance to this damage is achieved with a system of voids formed by adding surfactants to the fresh concrete to stabilize air bubbles naturally entrained during mixing. The volume fraction, size, and spacing of these voids are critical. It is importa ...

RailMonitor: Real-Time Broken Rail Detection System
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 171FR2Broken rails are a common cause of mainline derailments and a particular concern given the increasing use of our rail system for passenger traffic and petroleum products. The progressive nature of the defects provides an opportunity for early detection of cracks before they become significant enough to cause a derailment. Unfortunately, current inspection technology does not allow these inspection ...

Improved Thermal and Acoustic Comfort for Motorcycle Helmets
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 151NH1Use of motorcycles helmets significantly reduces the risk of fatality or serious brain injury to riders in the event of a crash, but riders often do not wear helmets in warm weather because of thermal discomfort. We propose to develop an innovative ventilation and cooling system that will maintain a cool, dry environment inside the helmet while also meeting applicable safety standards. The key the ...

Automated parking-cruising detection and measurement using Bluetooth AVI Sensor network
SBC: RAPID FLOW TECHNOLOGIES Topic: 142FH2Searching for street parking, a behavior known as cruising for parking, leads to excess congestion and pollution. Many recent smart parking interventions have attempted to address this issue, but the problem of effectively detecting and measuring cruising remains largely unsolved. The goal of this work is to develop methods to detect and measure cruising for parking and its effects on congestion u ...

OpenWater- A citizen science monitoring platform
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 833Ensuring the health of coastal marine ecosystems has emerged as one of the primary environmental concerns of this century. Frequent monitoring of water quality is required to establish baseline levels, allow identification of anomalies, and enable early detection of problems. Citizen science programs have been shown to be a highly effective method of monitoring water quality. Creare proposes to de ...

Development of a sensor for detecting Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning toxins
SBC: SEATOX RESEARCH INC Topic: 842Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) due to consumption of contaminated shellfish is an increasing problem is the coastal waters of the United States, particularly in New England and the Pacific Ocean. The symptoms of PSP include vomiting, diarrhea, shortness of breath, confusion, and loss of coordination in both marine animals and humans. In severe cases, PSP toxins can cause respiratory failure a ...

A Compact and Agile Fixed-Wing UAS for VTOL Shipboard Operations
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 832Commercially available unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are not well designed to meet requirements for many atmospheric measurement applications, including deployment from ships, long endurance, and low cost. Multi-rotor UASs have recently gained popularity as a lowcost platform use in measurement and monitoring applications, but these systems have limited endurance and payload capabilities. Exist ...

Manual and Automated Marine Weather Observations Using Smartphones
SBC: CREARE LLC Topic: 826Accurate marine weather nowcasts and forecasts are critical requirements for mariners to maintain situational awareness and ensure safe navigation for vessels, passengers, crew, and cargo. To best achieve this, reliable observations of atmospheric and sea conditions must be available at high spatial and temporal coverage. Unfortunately, existing approaches for marine weather observations are inade ...

Acoustic Signature Reduction of Special Operations Forces Aircraft Using Flow-Excited Cancellation Sources
SBC: KCF TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Topic: SOCOM163001KCF Technologies in partnership with Lockheed Martin, Inc. proposes a lightweight, low drag, quasi-active noise control system to reduce the acoustic signatures of existing SOF fixed wing aircraft. The proposed solution is based on integrating flow-excited resonators near the blade tips of the propeller, commonly the aircrafts major noise source. The resonators are tuned actively to generate anti- ...
