COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN-STACK TRANSMISSMETERS FOR OPACITY MEASUREMENT PRESENTLY ONLYHAVE THE CAPABILITY OF A ONE POINTDYNAMIC UPSCALE CHECK OR NO DYNAMIC UPSCALE CHECK DURING OPERATION. IN ORDER TO PERFORM NECESSARY MULTI-POINT AUDITSOF LINERARITY CHECKS, THE INSTRUMENT MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE OR AT THE LEAST BE MANUALLY FITTED WITH AN EXTERNAL AUDIT DEVICE. THIS REQUIRES ACCESS TO THE INST ...

Some bioterrorism agents cause disease at very low infective doses and their presence can be masked by the environment. Therefore, ultrasensitive detection is required for homeland defense applications. In this Phase I research project, Operational Technologies Corporation (OpTech) proposes to couple DNA aptamers made by the Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SE ...

MiCell Technologies, Inc., proposes a new process for the deposition of metallic thin films of copper, ruthenium, titanium, and other metals used as barrier layers, seed layers, and interconnects. This process would replace the current electroplating approach used in filling deep trenches and forming thin films in microelectronic circuit manufacturing. The electroplating process genera ...

Chlorinated hydrocarbons represent the most prevalent contaminants in the subsurface, threatening the quality of groundwater at aquifers. Existing technologies for monitoring these contaminants require expensive, labor-intensive methods of sample collection and analysis. The goal of this Phase I research project is to develop a low-cost, compact, reliable, automated, unattended, and long-term mo ...
