Advanced nanocomposite scintillator for gamma radiation detection
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: DTRA08005Until now gamma radiation detection has required large single crystals of sensitive materials that are difficult to produce consistently on an industrial scale. In collaboration with a research group at the University of Texas at Arlington, Agiltron proposes to develop a new class of nanocomposite scintillator materials. The radiation detection characteristics of the synthetic nanoparticles in the ...

Improvements in Scintillation Technology for Detection of Nuclear Radiation
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA07004High-resolution scintillation crystals and crystal arrays are important components of current and future handheld and arrayed detectors (used for DOD/DTRA applications), and scintillation spectrometers (routinely used in high energy physics research, medical imaging, diffraction, homeland security, nuclear waste clean-up, nuclear treaty verification and safeguards, and geological exploration). Un ...

Research, design, fabrication, and testing of a controlled dynamic radiant frying oven for par-fried foods for the fast food industry
SBC: ANDERSON TOOL AND ENGINEERING CO INC Topic: N/A"Situation or Problem" Immersion frying is a popular food preparation method. U.S. Consumers enjoy billions of pounds of low cost and taste appealing fried foods annually. Sensorial properties include golden color, crunchy crust, tender-moist core, and pleasing flavors. Unfortunately, immersion-fried foods have high caloric content due to their high oil content and are considered to have a negativ ...

Lateral flow molecular assay for horse strangles
SBC: BIOHELIX CORPORATION Topic: N/AThis proposal seeks to develop a simple, and sensitive molecular diagnostic assay for the detection of Streptococcus equi; the causative agent of strangles. Outbreaks of this disease at racetracks and training establishments caused major disruptions, and economic losses to owners, and trainers in the United States in recent years. The control of the spread of strangles relies on a combination of d ...

Robotic Mass Removal of Citrus Fruits
SBC: Energid Technologies Corporation Topic: N/AAlmost all citrus is harvested by hand. The resulting high cost in the U.S. is burden to growers and positions them at a disadvantage to overseas competitors with low labor costs. Automated methods are needed to ensure the long-term viability and prosperity of the U.S. citrus industry. Past attempts at automated harvesting have largely focused on either bulk removal without extensive sensing and c ...

Field-Deployable Monitor of Pesticides in Water
SBC: GINER INC Topic: N/ASITUATION: Pesticides are among the most widely used toxic chemicals in the world, and also among the most dangerous to human health. There is convincing evidence that pesticides play a role in human cancers. Contamination of natural waters with pesticides from agriculture is a problem of primary concern. Accurate detection and measurement of pesticides in aqueous solution has historically require ...

Increasing the Marketing, Distributing, and Selling Channels of Specialty Mushrooms
SBC: HAWTHORNE MUSHROOMS INC Topic: N/AThe growth, marketing, and sales of specialty mushrooms represent new opportunities for farmers struggling following the collapse of livestock markets in that late 1990s and early 2000s. Continued success in the domestic cultivation of mushrooms depends on the ability of growers to reach their markets, forecast demand, and ensure distribution of their product in a manner that enables both profitab ...

Development of Real-Time Whole-Organism Biosensor System for use in post harvest, structural and quarantine fumigations.
SBC: INSECTS LIMITED INC Topic: N/AA fumigation for the purpose of pest control is considered successful when the lethal Ct product dosage has been reached. Lethal Ct products for different insect types and life stages vary and are a function of temperature. Typically, eggs are most tolerant while adults are most susceptible. No mathematical/statistical model can ever perfectly describe all characteristics of a biological system. T ...

Microbial Fuel Cells for Animal Manure Treatment
SBC: CAMBRIAN INNOVATION, INC. Topic: N/AThe United States produces over 58 million tons of animal manure every year. These wastes pose a significant risk of environmental damage and human disease if not treated. However, most treatment methods are themselves either energy intensive or environmentally harmful. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes to optimize and commercialize a Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) cap ...

Efficacy of OvuGel in weaned sows and replacement gilts in commercial production units
SBC: PENNATEK LLC Topic: N/AKey factors determining reproductive efficiency are control of estrus and ovulation in weaned sows and in gilts, which have already begun to display estrous cycles. Weaning sows at 3 weeks or greater of lactation results in a high percentage of them displaying estrus 5-8 days later. Feeding the orally active progestin, MATRIX, to gilts for 14 days results in greater than 85% of them displaying est ...
