PULSE Portable Usability Lab for System Evaluation
SBC: APTIMA INC Topic: HSB0102005Usability greatly affects the acceptability, affordability, and overall success of technology. However, the resources that are typically required to ensure usability are substantial, and failing to do so will degrade a system`s ability to support the user`s mission, decrease the perceived value of the technology, and reduce the number of future transition opportunities. Aptima`s Portable Usability ...

Canine training aids for HMTD detection
SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC. Topic: HSB0102004Physical Sciences, Inc. (PSI), proposes to prepare a new class of training aids to be used for canine detection of HMTD. These training aids are expected to incorporate the components of non-energetic off-gas from genuine HMTD. By using an HMTD headspace proxy, it will be possible to present canines with a training aid that does not carry with it the handling, disposal and other concerns associate ...

Wearable Thermoelectric Generators for First Responders
SBC: Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc. Topic: HSB092008The human body is a near perfect energy generator. Demand for energy harvesting innovation, along with technology advances in thin film thermoelectric generators and highly efficient DC/DC boost circuitry now place wearable thermoelectric power harvesting within reach. The objective of Perpetua`s Phase II proposal is to deliver an energy harvesting system for first responder applications powered b ...

A Novel Cost Effective Method for Growing High Performance Radiation Sensors
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA082007Certain lanthanide halides have significantly higher light output than NaI:Tl, the comparison standard for scintillators, plus other important properties, including fast decay times and excellent proportionality. Unfortunately, lanthanide halides grown by traditional melt processes have high production costs and limited availability. Crystals are usually limited to about 5 cm x 5 cm, right cylinde ...

Use of X-ray Backscatter Imaging to Screen General Aviation Aircraft
SBC: American Science and Engineering, Inc. Topic: HSB092001In this Phase II effort, American Science & Engineering, Inc. (AS&E) will design, fabricate, test and deliver a mobile X-ray Backscatter one-sided imaging system suitable for examining general aviation aircraft for the presence of weapons, contraband or other proscribed items. The system employs a high resolution X-ray Backscatter imaging module mounted on an omni-directional host platform, provid ...

Magnetically Switchable Explosives Vapor Isolator
SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: HSB0101004The proposed work details a Magnetically Switchable Explosives Vapor isolator which can be coupled to a wide variety of detection techniques. The Isolator works by initially isolating explosives from a vapor stream through a biologically analogous technique. When requested, the concentrated molecules are released to the detector through a magnetic switching mechanism. The proposed approach would a ...

Precision Information Environment for Collaborative Emergency Support (PIECES)
SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC. Topic: HSB0101003Decision makers responding to homeland security incidents must rapidly integrate and manage dynamic, time-sensitive information from a large number of heterogeneous and multimodal information sources accessed through a variety of software applications, all while collaborating in real-time as efficiently as possible. To address these issues, we propose to design and evaluate a Precision Information ...

Modeling of Iris Structure for Homeland Security Applications (MISHA)
SBC: Retrobids Topic: HSB0101005We propose to develop a physics-based framework for modeling iris texture, image acquisition conditions (in the broad sense) and other real-world effects related to iris biometrics. The framework is coupled to a special statistical procedure that allows generation of large-scale samples of iris images representative of a desired ethnic group. Our approach is based on the physics-based iris modelin ...

Aptamer-SPR technique and device for high sensitivity and high specificity of explosives detection (ASPRED)
SBC: Infoscitex Corporation Topic: HSB0101004A joint effort by several US military offices aims to create hand held platforms that will enable the real time detection and quantitation of a threat. Detection of explosives in the gas phase presents an extreme advantage for various homeland security applications and operations. However, direct detection of explosives in trace quantities in the air presents an extremely difficult problem due to ...

GPS Resolution in Denied Locations (GRIDLOC)
SBC: Infoscitex Corporation Topic: HSB0101006Latin American gangs exploit illegal border crossings to expand their sphere of influence in the United States. More than a hundred clandestine tunnels have been discovered beneath the US-Mexico border since 1990, and these tunnels are instrumental for drug smuggling and human trafficking. Clandestine tunnel detection has rapidly become a focus for the DHS, and the DHS is searching for methods to ...
