Control & Data Plane Security of High Performance Networks
SBC: ANGEL SECURE NETWORKS, INC. Topic: 41bOperating across international borders in cooperation with a multitude of domestic and foreign institutions and scientists, the DOE needs to protect its high performance science networks (such as ESnet and USnet) from destruction by outside adversaries and rogue insiders. This project will develop technology to provide security for ESnet, UNnet, and similar high speed data transfer infrastructures ...

Isolation of Novel Hyper-Thermophiles for Increased Energy Efficiency in Ethanol Production
SBC: Athena Biotechnologies, Inc. Topic: 10bBio-ethanol penetration into the marketplace is limited by its cost, making it non-competitive with petroleum-based fuels. Energy consumed during fermentation and distillation steps accounts for 17% of the total cost. Because fermentation is exothermic, the reactor must be cooled to preserve mesophilic microbial viability. Then, the product must then be heated to vaporize the ethanol for purificat ...

Demonstration of Advanced Technology for Surface Processing of Oil Shale
SBC: Combustion Resources Topic: 60bNational attentions have returned to developing fuels from our vast domestic oil shale resource. However, a typical 10,000 bbl/day oil shale plant would release about 3000-4000 tons per day of carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is unlikely that construction permits for commercial oil shale projects will be issued without further technology development to greatly reduce CO2 emissions. This project will ...

Chemically and Thermally Resistant Hollow Fibers as Micro Channel Reactors for Process Intensification
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 10bProcess intensification methodologies are need for the chemical processes and bioprocesses used in a biorefinery, in order to make the biorefinery a viable commercial alternative to the production of fuels and chemicals. Because the molecular mixing of reactants can enhance reactions, it is a key to process intensification. Significant process inefficiencies can occur (especially with highly react ...

Simulating the Smart Electric Power Grid of the 21st Century
SBC: Electrocon International Inc. Topic: 28bElectrical power systems routinely experience disturbances or faults. Protective relays and controllers are used to take corrective action by isolating the faulted equipment and stabilizing the system. The analysis and design of these protection and control systems require simulation of the power grid. However, present day simulation tools are relatively simplistic, as they model current protectio ...

High Efficiency Shale Oil Recovery
SBC: Energy Recovery Technology Topic: 60bU.S. shale oil reserves have been estimated to contain ½ to 4 trillion bbl oil equivalent ¿ an amount comparable to the entire world¿s recoverable petroleum reserves. In the past, shale oil has been unattractive because (1) 100 kg of oil shale may contain about 90 kg inorganic mineral, and (2) an extremely fine dust is generated by oil shale processing. This project continues the development of ...

Degradation-Resistant PEMFC Cathodes with Surfaces in Biaxial Tensile Stress
SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc. Topic: 09aDegradation of the cathode catalyst has been identified as one of the major challenges to achieving the cost and performance targets for Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), for both automotive and stationary power applications. The degradation is manifested in the forms of detachment, agglomeration of particles, Ostwald ripening of particles, migration of Pt away from the cathode, and th ...

Development of a Thermally and Electrically Self-Sustaining Hydrogen Generation System Directly Using Petcoke
SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc. Topic: 23bThis project aims to develop an advanced, thermally and electrically self-sustaining hydrogen generation system for small petroleum refineries application. The hydrogen generation system involves the development of a viable means for converting the chemical energy of petcoke to hydrogen at a low cost and high efficiency. The approach involves the development and construction of tubular solid oxide ...

Advanced Coal Research- Sealing Systems for High Temperature SOFC
SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc. Topic: 04cIn planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) modules, separation of anode and cathode side gases are achieved by hermetic seals. These seals may be rigid, compressive, or compliant. However, the design of improved sealing materials must address two major challenges: (1) mechanical stability of the seals in the face of thermal cycling and (2) chemical stability with respect to the metallic interconnect. ...

Real-Time Optical MEMS-based Seismometer
SBC: MICHIGAN AEROSPACE CORP Topic: 46aCurrently, nuclear tests are monitored by the International Monitoring System (IMS), a network of automated seismic stations that record any evidence of clandestine nuclear explosions. Although geographically extensive and relatively accurate, this system occasionally fails to detect man-made seismic activity. This project will develop a low-cost miniature seismometer based on the latest developme ...
