NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels
SBC: FBS INC Topic: 180PH1Fracture toughness is the material parameter that, along with applied loading and flaw geometry, dictates the critical crack size, and therefore controls the flaw size that must be detected during inspections. A major challenge facing pipeline operators is that many pipelines are old, making their structural integrity uncertain, and that material pedigree of the pipeline steel is unknown. Therefor ...

Developmet of Universal SNP chips for Pacific White Shrimp
SBC: INFINI-SEA LLC Topic: 9103Pacific white shrimp is the most important species in shrimp aquaculture, making up the majority of the US$6.5 Billion worth of farmed shrimp imported into the US in 2017. The dominance of this species in shrimp aquaculture is due to the development of domesticated strains and years of continuous genetic improvement. Recent advancements in genome selection allow faster and more accurate selection ...

Enhancing Subseasonal and Seasonal (S2S) Forecasts
SBC: PRESCIENT WEATHER LTD Topic: 9301Computer forecasts of weather and climate variability created by the U.S. and other nations on the subseasonal scale (weeks) and on the seasonal scale (months) are increasingly used by private and public activities to mitigate risk and seize opportunity. These forecasts are produced as ensembles of tens of individual computer forecasts and are most useful when calibrated by comparing histories of ...

Investigation of Traction Motor Failure Modes and Monitoring Methods
SBC: FORCING FUNCTION LLC Topic: 190FR5Currently traction motors are typically maintained on a Time-Based Schedule. The move to a more cost-effective Condition-Based monitoring system faces multiple challenges - primary among them being the complexity of wiring and instrumenting sensors in the ruggedized rail environment and the difficulty of extracting intelligible information from the data collected in a noisy environment. Forcing Fu ...

Investigation of Traction Motor Failure Modes and Monitoring Methods
SBC: FORCING FUNCTION LLC Topic: 190FR5The prevailing approach to train maintenance is to service trains on a time or mileage basis. While the basis for such activities is based on empirical failure data it does not take into account if parts or components actually need replacing and it does not prevent component failure in service should that occur between scheduled maintenance points.The principles of Condition Based Maintenance have ...

Non-Equilibrium Short-Pulsed Discharge for Removal of Antibiotics and Pathogens from Water used in Aquacultural Facilities
SBC: AA PLASMA LLC Topic: 9101"Seafood consumption in the United States has risen to over 50% per capita over the last 25 years with over 75% of total U.S. seafood consumption coming from import. These trends, if continued, place a high importance on the safety aspect of seafood trade. Despite the lack of evidence supporting higher risk in imported food, many of the U.S. seafood import sources are located in tropical areas whe ...

Advancing Flood Extent Delineation Modeling Using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Data
SBC: Azavea Inc. Topic: 9503The proposed research will advance flood inundation mapping and enhance situational awareness in disaster response situations through a combination of machine learning techniques and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. One of the most difficult challenges during the early stages of a flood event is acquiring timely, unobstructed Earth observation data that can provide lifesaving insight into the ...

A NEW MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE FOR ACCURATELY FORECASTING EXTREME PRECIPITATION FROM LANDFALLING ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS
SBC: INNOVIM, LLC Topic: 9503Atmospheric rivers transport large volumes of water vapor outside the tropics and when landfalling, produce large quantities of rain that replenish aquifers, contribute to beneficial increases in snowpack, yet can cause flooding and damage. Accurate forecasts of precipitation during landfalling atmospheric rivers are critical because they play a large role in water supply and flooding. However, th ...

Robotic Utility Mapping and Installation System (RUMI)
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: 141FH3Today, urban underground spaces are shared by multiple utility companies for laying power lines, gas lines, water supply/sewage pipes, fiber-optic cables, etc. The recordings of such buried utilities are often erroneous, inadequate, or outdated (if they ever exist) due to insufficient surveying methodologies and as-built recording practices. Ability to accurately locate and provide awareness of bu ...
