The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded API's subsidiary, Picometrix, LLC a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract for $100,000 over six months. The company will exhibit the feasibility of integrating a hand-held time-domain terahertz (TD-THz) inspection wand combined with special sensor technologies to create a multi-sensor based approach for detection of concealed threats.
Defentect Group, a manufacturer and supplier of rapid smart messaging services and applications, proclaimed that the company has assigned Arkfeld Security Technologies, as an authorized integrator, to market and integrate Defentect’s Global Threat Awareness system employing its Immediate Intelligent Messaging software base.
A Tel Aviv University research team has developed a powerful electronic sensor to detect different types of explosives. Existing methods used for the detection of explosives, be it champion sniffer dogs or any other electronic devices, are high cost, have lengthy decoding time, are cumbersome and require an expert for analysis. "There is a need for a small, inexpensive, handheld instrument capable of detecting explosives quickly, reliably and efficiently," said lead researcher Fernando Patolsky of Tel Aviv University.
With terrorists using more sophisticated methods to transport and detonate bombs better explosive detecting capabilities are needed.
A robot that can follow marine organisms underwater for considerable distances would be key to learning more about these organisms.
It is highly challenging to track Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a chemical explosive that is commonly deployed in shoe-bombing trials. Recently, scientists have devised a colorimetric sensor sequence that have the potentiality to detect even small traces of TATP vapor present in the air.
Researchers at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering are developing specific sensing devices that have the potentiality to lay out the topography of the ocean floor and to trace out the resources such as the mineral repositories and natural gas.
The Fluorimeter-based device or the ANDalyze sensor is capable of performing live testing and evaluation of heavy metal contamination in water and is being marketed in China and Australia, dominating the time consuming laborious evaluation processes such as reagent and electrochemical testing procedures.
Salina Kansas-based Veris Technologies is releasing two innovative soil sensing devices called the Quad EC1000 and the pH Detector
Prior indications about the volcanic eruptions can be gained by releasing superior heat-tolerant radio wave transmitters into the volcanoes.
