Category-Theoretic Tool for Manufacturing-related Information Integration
SBC: CATEGORICAL INFORMATICS, INC. Topic: 9010173RCategorical theory has recently been successfully applied to translate information from one computer system to another. Researchers at MIT have developed a prototype software tool based on category theory for solving information-integration programs. The tool has successfully solved small-scale information-integration problems including a problem identified by NIST about enriching the manufacturin ...

Developing and Improving Commercial Marine Algal Culture in the United States
SBC: Maine Fresh Sea Farms, LLC Topic: 811FMaine Fresh Sea Farms (MFSF) will build a multi-species, multi-season prototype farm with the goal of having crops of fresh sea vegetables available throughout the year. What isn’t utilized fresh will be dried for longer-term storage and used in other products. Our team will gather data on water quality, nutrients, light levels, and hydrodynamics to assemble profiles of key parameters that deter ...

Ultra-High Precision Laser Isotope Monitor for I3CO2, CO180 and CO170
SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC Topic: 831RCGreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are primary drivers of global climate change. Hence there is a crucial need to quantify their sources and sinks. A powerful method to constrain source and sink strengths is the analysis of the relative proportions of isotopic variants of GHG’s in atmospheric samples like those collected globally by NOAA’s Cooperative Air Sampling Network. Measurements that are ca ...

Multi-Purpose Above Surface/Below Surface Expendable Dropsondes (MASED)
SBC: BOSTON ENGINEERING CORPORATION Topic: 842WThere are currently no inexpensive, expendable air-deployed monitoring systems (Dropsondes) that measure atmospheric data and oceanographic as a function of depth. These are important data in predicting the intensity and path of hurricanes. Boston Engineering proposes to provide NOAA with a solution to this challenge with the Multi-Purpose Above Surface/Below Surface Expendable Dropsonde (MASED) p ...

Rapid and Low-Cost Field Toxin Analysis to Monirot Harmful Algal Blooms
SBC: GINER INC Topic: 812NDuring the harmful algal blooms (HAB), marine algal toxins reach concentrations high enough to cause various neurological and gastrointestinal disorders through inhalation of the toxin or consumption of contaminated shellfish. Brevetoxins, produced by dinoflagellate Karenia brevis, are known to disrupt neurological processes to cause an illness called neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. The timely rec ...

Coastal Eyes, a Multi-Mission Topographic, Current Retrieval and Debris Mapping Sensor System
SBC: Arete Associates Topic: 832DAreté Associates proposes the Coastal Eyes, a multi-mission sensor system to respond to NOAA’s core mission objectives for coastal emergency management measurements to map land and surface water topography over coastal, waterways and fresh water regions; surface (fresh and oceans) currents, debris detections and storm surges. Areté will develop a responsive, cost-effective sensor solution, whi ...

Supporting Local Decision Making through a Comprehensive Community Driven Data Tool
SBC: Industrial Economics, Incorporated Topic: 851XA central part of NOAA’s mission is to develop and distribute scientific data, including large-scale climate, weather, marine, and coastal information for regional and national analysis. NOAA has also developed local data gathering tools on an as-needed basis. While these approaches demonstrate the power of local data collection, no existing tool meets the broad needs of environmental community ...

Optical Instrumentation for MEMS Oscillatory Parallel-Plate Rheometer
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: 9060563RLeveraging Agiltron’s industrial leading developments for optical measurement of motion in MEMS devices, we propose to use electro-optical sensors for measuring the displacement and gap in the NIST micro-rheometer. No electrical connections are required to the moving parts. All electronics and optics are removed from the chip so that it is inexpensive and disposable. A fixed, simple micro-fluidi ...

3D Tip Characterization and Surface Reconstruction
SBC: Nanometrology International, Inc. Topic: 9070168TTNanometrology International, Inc. (NMI) proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of 3-dimensional (3D) characterization of nanoscale objects using scanning probe microscopy (SPM) with a measurement uncertainty of less than 0.7 nm. To accomplish this task, we propose a novel method of 3D tip characterization and use of an innovative surface reconstruction algorithm recently introduced by NIST and th ...
