Extraction of Bioproducts from Algae in Water using Cavitating Jets
SBC: DYNAFLOW, INC. Topic: 812SGOne of the most promising biomass sources for fuels and other feedstocks is photosynthetic algae. Algae can produce lipids, proteins, and other compounds, and can be grown in salt water. Current production practices rely on expensive means of harvesting, concentrating, and extracting the algae. This makes the “bio-crude” produced by algae more expensive than petroleum. Recovering the cellular ...

High Performance Signal Processing Tools with Fluctuation-Enhanced Sensing
SBC: Signal Processing, Inc. Topic: 9020163RWe propose a high performance library of signal processing tools that incorporate a newly developed technique known as fluctuation enhanced sensing (FES) to enhance the novel microsensor developed at NIST. Our goal is to improve the performance of the NIST sensor from two angles. One is to apply our existing proven algorithms to the NIST data. The other one is to incorporate advanced FES concept t ...
