Data Fusion

Designed, developed, and delivered an automated precision control of optical, fluidic, photonic, and mechanical flow cytometry devices enabling increased production and single cell sorting performance while also reducing required operational resources.

A web-based information dashboard that provides analysts from the National Biosurveillance Integration Center the ability to track and monitor disease outbreaks across the world. This tool provides a common integrated view of the information for both situational awareness and decision-making, and is has been deployed for use in a 24/7 Department of Homeland Security command center.

A cross platform mobile application that can be used by veterinarians for easily capturing of syndromic symptoms of animals in the field. This application allows for form-based submission in both a live and store-and-forward fashion for use in even very rural locations. The results can be queried and displayed in both a geospatial and temporal fashion within an analyst workstation. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.

A web-based tool that provides lawn irrigation assistance based on real-time rainfall and weather conditions obtained directly from weather stations, along with educational materials related to residential water conservation.

A web-based information dashboard that provides a user-defined common operating picture across multiple echelons and within different functional areas. This tool was used as part of an on-the-water exercise by the Coast Guard’s Sector Seattle Command Center in August of 2009. These dashboards provided integration of live data feeds describing the current operational environment, real-time video and sensors for providing monitoring and surveillance capabilities, and custom simulation and visual analytic products. The common integration of these diverse tools supported the full decision-making process.

An integrated, web-based software solution for forecasting field-specific irrigation schedules that optimize rainfall and irrigation productivity. This is accomplished by configuring basic historic, near real-time, and future agronomic information including weather, soil and crop characteristics, and irrigation parameters into a variety of interactive data visualizations for portraying key aspects that support irrigation decisions.

Designed, developed, and deployed an information dashboard to provide relevant, integrated, and real-time information to decision-makers by presenting a user-defined common operating picture synthesizing authoritative data sources.

A proof-of-concept dashboard with customizable user-defined profiles, interchangeable components and enhanced visualization and analytical capabilities designed to assist Joint-level electromagnetic battle managers in the preparation, planning, execution, and analysis of warfighter operations.

A technology that pairs a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) supporting daily laboratory operations with a biosurveillance module for monitoring, reporting and analyzing tracked test results for program diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). The system can be configured to support numerous custom test types, test procedures, laboratory workflows, forms and reports, and hardware/network infrastructure, and can be defined locally or distributed throughout a network of laboratories.

A web-based information dashboard developed for the USDA that can be used for incident management, as well as day-to-day planning and disease monitoring and surveillance. This tool has been used by APHIS for tracking a real-world foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in South Korea, by State Animal Health Officials to understand and manage animal health related events within their state, and by producers to monitor and assess disease status across their production systems. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.
