In our Phase I test, Green Eyes successfully demonstrated the feasibility of a Coastal Long-Term Automated Self-Calibrating Profiler (CLASP) system capable of autonomous operation for one year. The feasibility prototype also incorporated two-way telemetry and near real-time display of processed data. CLASP uses a profiling pump to deliver water to a flow-through multi probe sensor and additional ...

Identification of particular fish species based on specific DNA sequences is not currently time or cost effective, but morphological identification is not always possible during early development stages. The project proposed seeks to develop a microfluidic based approach using DNA hybridization, coupled with a sensitive detection method based on the use of carbon nanotubes to rapidly identify fis ...

The condition of dredged channels in U.S. waterways is ever-changing due to sedimentation, shoaling, and the growing presence of submerged debris. Furthermore, the lack of the most current and accurate subsurface terrain data (specifically, channel depth as a function of position) at the time of a ship¿s transit introduces a level of uncertainty that prevents optimal safety and navigational ef ...

Green Eyes, LLC will demonstrate the feasibility of a Coastal Long-term Automated Self-calibration Profiler (CLASP) system capable of operating autonomously for one year without servicing. CLASP will be configured to incorporate wireless two-way communications for automated data dissemination and remote control. Two major innovations are required to develop such a system. 1. Automated bio-fouli ...

Salo IT Solutions, Inc. (SaloITS) will design and implement the ALERT-2 protocol, a next-generation suite of network protocols that will provide enhanced services for Automated Flood Warning Systems (AFWSs). The focus of this Phase I project is to create and develop a consensus within the ALERT community in support of an ALERT-2 Requirements Specification document and an ALERT-2 Protocol Specific ...

THE SAFE DESIGN OF DEEP MISSILE BASING STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO STRESS TRANSIENTS GENERATED BY SURFACE DISTURBANCES SUCH AS NUCLEAR OR CONVENTIONAL EXPLOSIONS IS A VERY IMPORTANT PROBLEM FOR J.S. NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST. THE PROPAGATION OF SURFACE DISTURBANCES THROUGH INHOMOGENEOUS, JOINTED, FRACTURED, AND LAYERED GEOLOGIC MEDIUM OF THE INFINITE DOMAIN IS A VERY COMPLEX PROBLEM ESPECIALLY NEAR D ...

FOR A USER TO ORDER SATELLITE IMAGE DATA SETS FROM THE NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA CENTER INTELLIGENTLY AND RELIABLY, HEMUST VERIFY THAT THE DATA SET COVERS HIS REGION OF INTEREST AND IS FREE ENOUGH FROM CLOUD COVER TO BE USEABLE. TO SOLVETHIS PROBLEM, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP IBM PERSONAL COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE WHICH INTERFACES TO AN INEXPENSIVE GRAPHICS BOARD TO DISPLAY SATELLITE ORBITS ON A M ...
