New Process for Synthesis of Insect Pheromones
SBC: BEND RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N/AThis proposal is direct toward the development of a new, low-cost process for synthesizing insect pheromones. This process is based on the use of a novel, environmentally benign method using transition-metal catalysts, which should result in high yields of high-purity products. The use of pheromones for insect control has been commerically practiced for 20 years via a technique known as mating d ...

Fruit Inspection Using a Liquid Crystal Tunable Optical Filter Multispectral Camera
SBC: BOULDER NONLINEAR SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/ACurrently, fruit is sorted for bruises and blemishes by hand. This is an inefficient and labor intensive method for detemining fruit quality, in need of automation. It has recently been determined that visible and near infrared multispectral imaging is useful for extracting several fruit quality characteristics. In order to acquire information in several bands as fruit is processed, a high thro ...

An Improved Process for Production of Natural Carotene
SBC: Chemica Technologies, Inc Topic: N/ABeta-Carotene is widely used in the food industry as a food colorant and vitamin supplement, and it is rapidly gaining popularity for its reported anti-cancer potency. Medical studies indicates that Beta-carotene is preventative and sometimes terapeutic against malignant tumors, lung cancer, colon cancer, esophagus cancer, and skin cancer. It is the focus of this proposal to develop a new separa ...

Algorithm for Measuring Water Content and Salinity in Regions of High Salinity
SBC: Flugstad Engineering Topic: N/ATime Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is becoming a popular method of measuring water content. By measuring the time it takes for a step-waveform to propagate down and back an open circuited transmission line, one can determine the dielectric constant of the media. Regression equations can then be used to determine water content from the dielectric constant. Problems occur, however, in regions of hig ...

Wireless Telecommunications Infrastructure for Rural Communities
SBC: Integrator Corp. Topic: N/ARural community telecommunications services are far behind the state-of-the art as found in urban areas. As a result, rural communities may not participate in the benefits of access to the National Information Infrastructure now being defined. Recent advances in wireless communictions technology, and FCC authorization of Personal Communications Services (PCS), present an opportunity to define a ...

Real Time Information System to Estimate Processed Grain Value Over the U.S.
SBC: Quetzal Computational Associat Topic: N/AThe influence of environmental conditions on specific grain quality characteristics such as oil, starch, and protein contents in major grain crops has been known for the last several decades. Within the past several years incentive to predict the value of grains prior to harvest has increased due to significant price differences paid for grains possessing specific quality characteristics. There ...

Removal of Selenium from Agricultural Drainage Waters Using Emulsion Liquid
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: N/AAgricultural drainage waters emanating from irrigation projects in seleniferous lands in the western United States are a major source of selenium contaminated waters. Because of selenium's known toxicity and teratogenicity to waterbirds, the discharge limits adopted by the California State Water Resources Control Board are very low (0.005 mg/L). Therefore, in order to prevent selenium poisoning, ...

Introducing Commercially-Viable Internet Access to Rural and Frontier Communities
SBC: Supernet, Inc. Topic: N/AThis project will focus on research to develop both the community processes and the product/service mix for an Internet service provider to make introductory implementation of Internet access commercially viable in rural and frontier communities. Development would include template and software resources that would provide for local content (remotely hosted) and interactivity, as well as affordabl ...

Comparative Analysis of Various Systems of Wool and Animal Fiber Diameter Analysis
SBC: Yocum-mccoll Testing Topic: N/ADiameter of wool and other animal fibers is the most important physical characteristic in terms of its end use in textiles and it is also the most important economic criteria in marketing these fibers. Visual appraisal of fiber diameter and variability of diameter is not an accurate, consistent method, but it is still used throughout the world. Microprojection is the most accurate method of dete ...
