CABEM continues to enhance our web-based virtual monitoring applications using MPEG4 and Flash technologies. CABEM Livia_vLab, for the engineering and testing industry, now enables authenticated individuals to see up to eight preview boxes on their browser screen at the same time, to compare live tests, and live data results, from the convenience of their desktop. In the Livia admin, up to eight web cameras and *KVM switches can be set up and easily configured in a variety of combinations to accomplish project objectives. LabInsight, a customized version of Livia_vLab, has been upgraded this month for National Technical Systems, a global engineering services firm with expertise in product testing and evaluation.
* KVM switches are used to extend computer desktop/screens through the CABEM Livia_vLab application.
CABEM has been awarded a contract to assist in developing Frag-IT, short for Fragmentation Infrared Tracking Technology. The Frag-IT system, based on previous IR tracking projects the team has been involved with, records an explosion for later playback and analysis. The Frag-IT project is lead by M2 Technologies. CABEM provides software development assistance and other technical expertise, and University of Kentucky supplies image processing expertise. The project is sponsored by Marine Corps Systems Command.
Initially launched in September 2008, TAB EZ is at it again, assisting organizations and communities in the preparation of EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Grants. CABEM designed, built and deployed www.tabez.org in collaboration with Kansas State University (KSU), and provides maintenance and software upgrades for the online application throughout the year. Designed for ease of use, our team built TAB EZ with collaborative tools and functionality to build proposals, access resources and share site data. CABEM worked with KSU to enhance and update the site to reflect the FY10 EPA Brownfields grant guidelines released in late August. Move fast: the deadline for proposal submittal is October 16, 2009!
Stand-off Bomb Detection (SBD) System Version 0.0.1 was released by the team of M2 Technologies, Kansas State University and CABEM earlier this summer as part of a UOL initiative lead by KSU and of M2 – an additional release date of version 0.1.1 is expected in September. The SBD device measures neutron and/or photon energies to rapidly interrogate a distant “target” in a matter of seconds to determine whether the object contains conventional explosives. The system is managed via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and control software controlling the integrated equipment and sensors while displaying relevant information for three classes of users. Version 0.0.1 refined the remote capabilities of a number of this system’s features; the up and coming release of Version 0.1.1 will include algorithmic updates for gamma-photon scanning, and bug fixes based on user feedback.
CABEM applauds our client, IdentityForce, for supporting New York’s Iona College as the first higher education organization in the nation to eliminate the threat of data breaches. Colleges and Universities are often targeted for data breaches and identity theft. IdentityForce’s CampusWatch solution for Iona College protects the community at large with a comprehensive program that uses prevention, detection, restoration and reimbursement tools, offers education and training, and facilitates compliance with federal and state identity theft-related regulations. CABEM provides IdentityForce with application design and development for their complex backend admin capabilities as well creative design for various online initiatives.
Senior scientist, Harvey Schau, PhD, has joined CABEM as a consultant teaming up with us on undisclosed projects for the military. Currently a visiting professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a subject matter expertise in Optics and Infrared Technologies, Dr. Schau has 25 years experience working with military systems that include: R&D in optics, image processing, hyperspectral sensing, aerospace engineering, and pattern recognition for Meridian Systems; design for diffractive optics elements and development of real time computer based system for processing 6 LWIR and 4 visible sensors in a missile seeker DARPA; achieving success in phase correction using liquid crystals for wide field view optics, and, diffractive infrared optics for wide field of regard without gimbals for Raytheon; as well as field measurement, integration, and testing of electro-optical and infrared sensors and missile seekers at the Radiation Technology Laboratory and computer models of military targets and countermeasures for both low altitude and ballistic missile systems as part of General Dynamics/Hughes.
Drawing from the NQA brand and current design direction, CABEM redesigned NQA's (National Quality Assurance) site with a new look and feel, a flash introduction, and a GUI and over all structure that is more contemporary and intuitive. In addition to installing Livia, CABEM’s proprietary CMS (content management system), CABEM also expanded the site’s admin tools, adding an Events application for promoting seminars and events, and facilitating online customer registrations and credit card payments.
CABEM has been chosen to brand and build a new website for Successimo.com; a site in the making that promises success to customers who actively engage in Successimo’s unique online proposition. Learning, financial reward, and social networking, are the key elements of Successimo’s model. Participants are encouraged to learn, grow and reward themselves by completing a series of brief lessons of their choice chosen from an extensive array of topics. Points are earned upon completion of the lessons and are redeemed for product purchases that will be facilitated through the Successimo site. Working closely with Successimo’s originators and investors, CABEM will develop the visual identity in parallel with the site development and build. The development and build will incorporate complex functionality addressing a learning curriculum, membership status, point redemption, product purchasing and team building, to name just a few.
CABEM has been chosen to design and build a new website for long term client and partner, M2; a woman owned organization that stays on the forefront of developing techniques for providing non-lethal capabilities to military, law enforcement and homeland security agencies. As part of the redesign, CABEM will work closely with the M2 team to clarify important brand characteristics and enhance messaging. In addition to the new look and feel, the upcoming site will be more interactive and better structured for flexibility and future expansion. Included in the build will be Livia, CABEM's proprietary Content Management System.
