Defect Detection in Water Pipelines Using Ultrasonic Guided Waves
SBC: FBS INC Topic: FThe integrity of water piping infrastructures is essential for providing safe drinking water and for the treatment of wastewater. As pipelines age, they deteriorate, corrode, and crack. Existing techniques, such as visual observation and closed circuit TV, for assessing piping integrity are expensive and have difficulty accessing particular regions of piping structures. Ultrasonic guided waves, on ...

Noninvasive 3-D optical quantitative imaging of engineered tissue
SBC: DIAGNOSTIC PHOTONICS, INC. Topic: OSD11H08This project will bring interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM), a powerful new method of computed microscopy, to bear on the problem of quantitative tissue assessment. The promise of tissue engineering, including wound healing, is limited unless the tissue is treated correctly at optimal times during growth. Therefore, continuous, nondestructive, microscopic 3-D visualization and qu ...
