NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels
SBC: FBS INC Topic: 180PH1NDT of Fracture Toughness for Pipeline Steels3/16/2018Ultrasound-based technology to nondestructively determine fracture toughness of pipeline steels will be developed. Fracture 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 fac ...

Development of a CO2 Breathing Anthropomorphic Test Device
SBC: X-BIOMEDICAL INC Topic: 23NH1Tragically, 936 children have died in hot cars since 1998. Wisely, NHTSA has prioritized evaluation of sensor systems in vehicles for “the ability to detect unattended children and prevent heat stroke occurrence.”Recently, innovators have developed systems that detect children present in the vehicle by measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) in the vehicle cabin, but there is no test method to assess w ...

Encapsulated Microbes for Bioremediation of Hazardous Material Spills
SBC: ARIES SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LLC Topic: 23PH1One million eighty-five thousand five hundred and seven (1,085,507) barrels of hazardous liquids spilled in the US between 2003 and 2022. Accidents involving tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, drilling rigs, and storage facilities cause these hazardous chemical spills. Careful management of these sites is vital to prevent hazardous materials from causing harm to humans, wildlife, or ecologica ...

RLS & Associates, Inc. 190-FT1 Submission
SBC: RLS & Associates, Inc. Topic: 190FT1In the passage of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. No. 114-94), Congress challenged the U.S. DOT and the Federal Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) to develop a cost allocation technology to account for disparate federal reporting requirements and maintain separation of funding sources by trip for non-emergency medical transportation. The U.S. DOT notes the ...

Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Test Data Interface
SBC: Sea, Ltd. Topic: 190NH1Many future Level 4 and 5 autonomous vehicles are expected to lack traditional driving controls, presenting a major challenge for regulatory tests that are typically conducted either by manually operating the vehicles or by driving robots physically coupled to the manual controls. Therefore, there is a need for an alternate method allowing automotive test engineers to issue driving commands to veh ...

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 ...

Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Test Data Interface
SBC: Sea, Ltd. Topic: 190NH1SEA is proposing a technical evaluation and feasibility study for a Test Data Interface that could send command signals to a vehicle via CAN, as well as receive diagnostic information from the vehicle. This technology could be used to provide any number of vehicle test protocols, including the evaluation of advanced and autonomous driving features.SEA believes that a Test Data Interface will be a ...
