  1. Affordable Wastewater Disposal for Coastal Households Adapting to Sea Level Rise

    SBC: WAIHOME LLC            Topic: 92

    "Rising sea levels and king tide flooding in coastal areas across America are saturating onsite wastewater disposal systems (OSDS), resulting in the degradation of coastal ecosystems and 200,000+ illnesses annually. Many States are mandating system upgrades, with 88,000 upgrades required by 2050 in Hawaii alone. Unfortunately, existing upgrade options are unaffordable for 97% of Hawaiian homeowner ...

  2. Field Tool to Measure Defects in Chicken Breast via Microwave Dielectric Properties

    SBC: COMPASS TECHNOLOGY GROUP, LLC            Topic: 85

    In recent years the poultry industry has focused on detecting and eliminating meat quality disorderssuch as wood-breast white-striping and spaghetti-meat. The current industry method for detectionin a production environment is a manual technician-based scoring method that provides unknownaccuracy and limited speed. We propose a method to detect these meat quality disorders in chickenbreast fillets ...

  4. Commercialization of PDMA (Partially Digested Macroalgae) to decarbonize animal feeds by improved control of macroalgae fermentation processes

    SBC: OCEAN ERA INC            Topic: 88

    Farmed marine macroalgae present a carbon negative opportunity for feedstuff production as theydo not require land conversion fertilizers or freshwater. Macroalgae are already used in smallquantities in some animal diets but the complex polysaccharides are largely indigestible. Trials atOcean Era have shown that the microbes from herbivorous reef fish can be used as the inoculum fordeconstruction ...
