Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP) June 2008
Recipient of the State of Pennsylvania Funding MicroGrant Assistance for Proposal Preparation and Submission to Federal Research Agencies.

This State program assists small businesses in applying and competing for federally funded grants and contracts, such as responding to SBIR and STTR soliciations. In making a decision on the company’s eligibility for the award, members of the Investment Committee must convene. They represent the Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP), Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (PA DCED), BioAdvance, Pennsylvania Biotechnology Association, Pennsylvania State University, Industrial Resource Center Network (IRCs), Pennsylvania Life Sciences Greenhouses, PENNTAP, Johnstown Area Regional Industries (JARI), eBizITPA, Pennsylvania Small Business Development Centers (PA SBDCs), and University City Science Center. The Committee considered SCS, LLC application together with an evaluation report containing opinions and recommendations from three independent reviewers. Understanding that the SBIR program funds innovative, high risk endeavors, the investment committee awarded the support funding to SCS, LLC and encouraged the company to consider technical reviewer's comments during the SBIR proposal preparation process.

BFTP-Proposal support July 2008
Recipient of the State of Pennsylvania Funding MiniGrant to conduct research on Electromagnetic Modeling and RF Signature Characterization of Human Behind Walls.

Project title: Modeling of Humans Behind walls
Physical Science
Engagement type analysis

ONR SBIR May – Nov 2008
Recipient of the ONR SBIR Contract for the project titled “RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) MODELING OF LAYERED COMPOSITE DIELECTRIC BUILDING MATERIALS”

This SBIR Phase I project proposes to develop a system that will permit reliable RF detection of humans visually obscured behind non-homogeneous walls. It aims at accurate EM modeling of walls over the upper band of the UHF frequency range. The EM modeling results will then be used to devise algorithms to mitigate the wall dispersive effects that tend to obscure the EM signature of persons standing, sitting or kneeling behind the walls. Towards this end, recent advances in time-reversal, singularity expansion method (SEM), and statistical mutual information are considered as potential and viable solutions to unmask the human RF signature behind attenuative walls and walls with enclosed air gaps. The proposed research is hybrid between electromagnetic modeling and signal processing. Similarities and divergence measures are applied to signal returns for wall classifications. Transmitted pulse shaping and reshaping as well as linear processing of received signals are proposed to mitigate the wall effects and reveal human presence. Wideband beamforming implemented by an antenna transmit-receive array is used to provide three-dimensional imaging and to allow surveillance operations from desirable standoff distances. The proposed efforts involve verification of theoretical and computer simulation findings through experimentations and real data collection.
