Non-Cooperative Vessel Imaging and Tracking (NVIT)
SBC: NOKOMIS INC Topic: HSB0111001Achieving and maintaining effective control of our nation`s maritime borders which comprise 95,000 miles of shoreline and navigable waters, and 361 ports is an ongoing challenge. Due to greater numbers, increased maneuverability and reduced observables, smaller vessels pose unique and special risks. A complete accounting of all these small vessels that could be anywhere in the nearly 3.5 million s ...

Mitigation of Contact Lens, Eye Surgery, Pupil Dilation, and other Challenges on Iris Recognition
SBC: LI CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: HSB0111005Iris biometrics offers the potential for highly accurate identity verification. However, over 25 million people in the United States and over 125 million people worldwide wear contact lenses, and it would be impractical to require users to remove their contact lenses for recognition purposes. As a result, developing methods to measure and mitigate any degradation associated with contact lenses and ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Assessment of Image Quality through Prediction of Iris Recognition Success
SBC: Neya Systems, LLC (formerly Rhobotika, LLC) Topic: HSB0112005It is clear from prior research that quality metrics can predict and improve recognition performance. As we add new quality metrics, however, determining a weighting scheme using simple rules for their combination becomes infeasible. This argues for a machine learning approach that will automatically determine the optimal weighting. We propose to develop a large set of quality metrics based on req ...

Stilbene Production for Fast Neutron Detection
SBC: INRAD OPTICS, INC. Topic: SBIR111001The detection of neutrons is a critical capability for homeland security applications. Helium-3- based proportional counters are commonly employed; however, the supply of He-3 is insufficient to meet the demand. A replacement for He-3 detectors should efficiently detect neutrons in a gamma-ray background and be commercially available at prices equivalent to comparable detectors prior to the He-3 s ...

Composite Cylinder Life-Cycle In-Service Assessment
SBC: WavesinSolids LLC Topic: 101PH1Current inspection, maintenance and lifetime estimation practices for composite cylinders have been adopted from earlier NASA research. WavesinSolids LLC are proposing a technological based on an acoustic emission (AE) technique for the in-service testing of composite cylinders. The approach will establish the correlation between AE activity and intensity metrics and the stress intensity factor, a ...

Artificial Intelligence Software to Tutor Literary Braille to the Blind and Visually Impaired
SBC: Quantum Simulations, Inc. Topic: N/APurpose: Braille is the primary medium of written communication for persons who are blind. Prior research shows that Braille literacy strongly correlates with stronger reading habits and the pursuit of higher education, whereas Braille illiteracy negatively impacts students' academic performance and ability to navigate the everyday world. A recent report found that there has been a dramatic declin ...

Recycling of Greenhouse Gases to Fuels & Chemicals
SBC: SKYRE, INC Topic: D"Technologies that prevent Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission from natural and man-made sources are needed to address the environmental and human health implications of climate change. One approach is to capture the GHG emissions and secure them in long term storage, i.e., carbon sequestration. However, current carbon sequestration technologies may: A) produce undesirable by products; B) contamina ...

Industrial Flue Gas Cleanup using DFC Technology
SBC: FuelCell Energy, Inc. Topic: D"The increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxides has been linked to climate change, which has a myriad of environmental and human health implications. In response to this growing concern, FuelCell Energy (FCE) has developed novel system concepts for separation of Carbon dioxide from greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources, using Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) technology. ...

In-Situ Imaging of Water Pipelines Using Ultrasonic Guided Waves
SBC: FBS INC Topic: F"The widely distributed water infrastructure system provides drinking water and waste water treatment for human life and the environment. A significant amount of water infrastructure network has served the public for decades and is encountering aging problems. Water leakage resulting from aging infrastructure may put human life and public health at risk. Therefore, it is imperative to search fo ...

Client-Centered Calibration of the NOAA Climate Forecast System
SBC: PRESCIENT WEATHER LTD Topic: 821CPrescient Weather proposes four Phase I tasks to increase the value of the new NOAA Climate Forecast System to commercial customers. The capabilities demonstrated and explored in Phase I will be developed and integrated in Phase II as components of a new Seasonal Information and Decision Support System (SIDSS) for our World Climate Service customers. The Phase I tasks are: • Improve season for ...
