 CEROS is proud to present some of the latest developments and accomplishments of our contractors: Concurrent Analytical Inc. Concurrent Analytical Inc.'s proprietary and patent pending system of molecular detection named Ramanprobes™ is currently being explored for use by the National Animal Disease Control Center, Ames IA, in detecting animal viruses. Dr. Marc Porter, a Professor at Iowa State University, is leading the development of the technology. Concurrent Analytical Inc. has also recently added Dr. Shelley Coldiron to its Board of Directors. Dr. Coldiron brings years of Biotechnology experience to the board. She is currently President, CEO, and Board Chairman of Combisep, Inc., an industry leader in Capillary Electrophoresis. CEROS Research Advisory Board Member Gary Jensen was named AFCEA's Executive of the Month for June 04. NovaSol has had a busy year... On November 6th 2003, NovaSol celebrated its 5th anniversary with an open house and award banquet. Within the last 3 months NovaSol was awarded the following contracts:
NovaSol Senior Manager Hunter Downs was named to the "40 Under 40" by the Pacific Business News. Congratulations! For more information, please consult www.nova-sol.com Concurrent Analytical, Inc. Concana with CEROS support from their CEROS FY02 project entitled "Improved Extrinsic Raman Labels (ERL) for Real-Time Ocean TNT Detection and Quantification," has accomplished the following:
For more information about Concurrent Analytical, please contact, Dr. Christian Schoen at [email protected] or www.concana.com Dr. James K. Lewis of Scientific Solutions, Inc. will present a paper entitled, "A PC-Based, Web-Interfaced, Ocean Prediction System Utilizing State-of-the-Art Circulation and Wave Models: Test Case Applications for the Hawaiian Islands" at the Hawaiian International Conference on Sciences. Sea Engineering, Inc. (SEI) just completed the first two steps of installing a wave energy conversion buoy for Ocean Power Technologies in 100 feet of water off the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. The Office of Naval Research funded project involves a 5 year test of the 60 foot high, 15 ft diameter buoy. Sustained power output should be 20KW. SEI installed the 105 ton anchor base and the 3,500 foot electrical cable from the base to the shore. Buoy installation is scheduled for November. For more information about SEI, please consult www.seaengineering.com Delta Airlines is equipping their jets (767-400's) with the SEE/RESCUE technology. SEE/RESCUEs will be included in Delta's life rafts for overwater flights. For more information on SEE/RESCUE Corporation, contact: Dr. Robert Yonover, [email protected], www.SeeRescue.com and www.RescueStreamer.com Oceanic Imaging Consultants received additional orders for their CEROS-funded ROVer's Eye Product - 1 more from the Singapore Navy and 3 more for the United States Navy. For more information, please consult www.oicinc.com STI's AIRBORNE "EAGLE EYE" - Detects simulated terrorist encampments and acts as a deterrence. Searching for state-of-the-art technologies that can deliver real-time, hyperspectral optical information led to the testing of Science and Technology International's (STI) Littoral Airborne Sensor � Hyperspectal (LASH) system. The system has "eagle-eye" capability�when it is put into a stable, mobile, airborne platform � a blimp � submarines, mines, whales and other marine mammals can be located and tracked. A simulated terrorist encampment site and various demonstrations including harbor patrol, surveillance, and force protection exercises will be conducted over the next three months using STI's airship in the San Diego area. The trial missions in San Diego seek to demonstrate just how well the LASH system can detect a simulated terrorist encampment, other targets and perform as a "Command Center" in the sky. The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring the tests. In addition to being able to detect the targets in real-time from the airship, a Command Center has been established by the Navy to downlink the information collected to distribute immediately to necessary decision-makers. The Command Center receives all of the data and information collected from the airship within seconds. If this were a real mission, the intelligence gathered could be relayed to the Command Center, which would then dispatch the appropriate law enforcement agencies necessary to prevent or stop the crime. In early September, the California portion of a test and demonstration assignment began using an airship and STI's sensor suite to prove homeland security and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) capabilities, as well as maritime protection.
