CVD Diamond Neutron Detectors with Pulse Shape Discrimination
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: N/AProliferation of nuclear weapons is a serious threat in the world today. One way to determine the presence of nuclear weapons is to detect neutrons emitted by special nuclear material(SNM) such as highly enriched uranium and weapons grade plutonium. The purpose of this project is to develop improved solid state neutron detectors from CVD diamond for homeland security applications. Phase I work wil ...

High Quantum Efficiency, Fast Detectors for the Readout of Scintillators for Gamma-Ray Detection
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: HSB062007Gamma-ray spectrometers consisting of inorganic scintillators coupled to optical detectors such as photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are an important element of the systems that are used to monitor and prevent the spread of special nuclear materials. Two very important requirements for the scintillation detectors used as gamma-ray spectrometers in homeland security monitoring include high sensitivity a ...

Improved Solid-State Neutron Detector
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: HSB071009The use and applications of radiological sources, for power, medical, and defense applications, continuously increases with time. Illicit nuclear materials represent a threat for the safety of the American citizens and the detection and interdiction of a nuclear weapon is a national problem that has not been yet solved. This represents an enormous challenge to current detection methods and monitor ...

New Neutron Detectors with Pulse Shape Discrimination
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: HSB071009Proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat in the world today. Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years, especially since the events on September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. One way to passively determine the presence of nuclear weapons is to detect and identify characteristic signatures of ...

CNT-Based D2 Ion Source for Improved Neutron and Photon Generator
SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC. Topic: HSB072007Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI) proposes to develop a novel field ionization technology to produce a deuterium ion (D+) current for a neutron source or gamma-ray source enabling fast switching, high repetition rate and high yields. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have a high aspect ratio structure (they are long and narrow) that induces high electric field concentration, thus they are ideal choices for electr ...

Miniature MEMS-based Chemical & Explosives Detector
SBC: BOSTON MICROSYSTEMS INC Topic: N/ABoston MicroSystems (BMS) proposes to develop a cell-phone sized instrument for detecting hazardous chemical and explosive threats. The instrument is based on BMS' PicoSensor® chemical and explosives detection platform, which has been developed in part under DHS support and is capable of sensing explosives and toxic chemicals at ppb and even ppt (trillion) levels. The Picoensor® consists of a ME ...

Non-Contact Trace Explosives Sampling and Preconcentration for Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device Detection
SBC: EXCELLIMS CORPORATION Topic: N/AIon mobility spectrometer based explosives trace detectors (ETD) have been widely used in airport check points, ports of entry, government buildings, and other high security facilities. Most of these systems require manual collection of trace particles from vehicles via direct swabbing of surface areas of interest. Sample collection efficiency and inconsistency pose significant challenges to the e ...

Handheld Trace Explosives Sampler
SBC: Implant Sciences Corporation Topic: HSB071001Non contact trace explosives detection has not been comparable to results obtained from wipe sampling. Many issues, including finding a method to release particles from a surface, efficient particle and vapor transport, and limited particle and vapor trap collection efficiency have all limited the process. Other related issues have included cost of ownership, ease of contamination removal, and com ...

Smart Sensing and Tracking with Video and Mote Sensor Collaboration
SBC: INTUVISION Topic: N/AAutomatic extraction of actionable intelligence from collaborative sensors in a framework that supports seamless exchange of extracted information across sensor layers while leveraging the human in the loop is the focus our proposal. Depending upon the specific end-user, data extracted from the battlefield areas represent two major categories: information requiring and subject to further analyses, ...

Bio-Advise- A Rapid and Fully Automated Biothreat Evaluation Model
SBC: LYNNTECH INC. Topic: HSB062002In the event of a biological threat, first responders need tools that enable them to rapidly determine if a release is real or a hoax, which requires identifying multiple threat agents from a complex environmental sample. Current threat analysis is costly, time-consuming, and requires complex procedures with considerable expertise to execute. Lynntech s solution is BioAdvise, a simple, self-contai ...
