ALMOST ALL MUNICIPAL SEWAGE COLLECTION AND TREATMENT FACILITIES HAVE WET-WEATHER FLOWS. MANAGING THE WET-WEATHER FLOWS TO MINIMIZE POLLUTION RESULTING FROM COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS AND BY-PASSES NEEDS OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR VARIOUS FLOW CONDITIONS. TO DO THIS REQUIRES AN OPERATIONS MODEL OF THE SYSTEM. THE PROJECT PROPSES TO DEVELOP A SOFTWARE PACKAGE WHICH WILL BE USED TO MAKE OPERATIONS DECI ...

THIS PROPOSED PROJECT WILL PROVIDE RESEARCH ON A NOVEL APPROACH TO MICRO-COMPUTER TRANSLATION OF PRINT MATERIAL INTO BRAILLE AND BRAILLE TO PRINT. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ARE DERIVED FROM RAISED DOT COMPUTING'S PREVIOUS COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL SOFTWARE DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. THE MERITS OF STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE TRANSLATION AND FOR ...

PROCESS TECHNOLOGY WILL BE DEVELOPED BY OMNNI ENGINEERS TO CONVERT PAPER MILL SLUDGES INTO THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS: LONG-FIBERED PULP SUBSTITUTE, AND PAPERMAKING CLAY FILLER ORCOATING PIGMENT. PREVIOUS RESEARCH BY OMNNI ENGINEERS WAS SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROCESS TECHNOLOGY TO SEPARATE PAPER MILL SLUDGE INTO A LONG FIBER FRACTION AND A SHORT FIBER-CLAY FRACTION. THE LONG FIBE ...

CURRENT EQUIPMENT PROCESS TECHNIQUES, FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS FROM DISCONTINUOUS LONG FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIAL, EXHIBIT DEFICIENCIES WHICH INCLUDE LOW LAMINAR SHEAR STRENGTH, LOW TRANSVERSE TENSILE STRENGTH, POOR IMPACTRESISTANCE AND POOR FRACTURE TOUGHNESS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY TO DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE EQUIPMENT WHICH WILL PROCESS ADVANCED ...

CURRENT LUMINESCENCE BIOASSAYS RELY SOLELY UPON MESUREMENT OF LUMINESCENCE INTENSITY TO GENERATE INFORMATION. MULTIPLE COLORS FROM BEETLE LUCIFERASE HAS CREATED THE OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE ASSAY INFORMATION CONTENT BY USING MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUES TO MEASURE LIGHT INTENSITIES AT DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS. THIS PROVIDES GREATER ASSAY RELIABILITY, PRECISION, AND ABILITY TO MEASURE CONCURRENT MOLECULAR E ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop the Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) to rapidly provide three-dimensional atomic-scale imaging and elemental identification of nano-biotechnology devices. Structural characterization of nano-biotechnology devices is currently problematic because available microscopy and analytical techniques have substantial limitations in quan ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop a digital video surveillance system prototype. Over the past few years, video surveillance systems have been moving from analog to digital. The success of a digital video surveillance system depends on three key enabling technologies: compression, search and retrieval and network transmission. Existing commercial systems ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop novel DNA polymerase reagents for use in current and developing DNA diagnostic procedures. The approach is to develop thermophilic phage DNA replicases in place of the currently used DNA repair enzymes. The feasibility of this approach was demonstrated during Phase I research. This follow on Phase II project will extend the meth ...
