Advanced Pavement Quality Indicator (PQI™), Phases 1 – 8 (NYSERDA 4354- ERTER-TR-96) – TransTech Systems’ initial development of a revolutionary non- nuclear, electrical impedance-based device for measuring the density and temperature of Hot Mix Asphalt in a non-destructive way.

High Density Paving Processes and Equipment (NYSERDA 4541-ERTER-TR- 98) – Based on the work funded in this project, TransTech Systems was able to demonstrate the viability of the concept of high-density paving and the application of cyclic shear compaction techniques for road construction.

An Advanced Instrument for Rapid Measurement of Soil Compaction, Phase 1 (NYSERDA 4731-ERTER-TR-98 ) – TransTech Systems’ initial attempt at determining the feasibility of adopting its non-nuclear, electrical impedance-based technology, from the successful PQI™, to the measurement of soil compaction.

Non-Destructive Evaluation of In-Process Measurement of Ceramics (NYSERDA 4972-IABR-IA-99) – This successful program was directed toward studying the feasibility of applying TransTech Systems’ innovative electrical impedance measuring techniques to the determination of density, moisture content and defect detection during the processing of raw and green ceramic materials.

Feasibility of Bridge Health Monitoring System (BriHMS), Phases 1 & 2 ( U.S. Army DAAE07-99-C-L069) – This highly successful Phase 2 Army SBIR program resulted in the design of BriHMS, which derives bridge health information from the response of the bridge to vehicle crossings without human input. Innovative signal processing and signature recognition algorithms, developed by TransTech Systems, were the keys to the success of this program.

Innovative System for Measurement of Concrete Slump in a Tilt Drum Mixing Plant (Private contract with concrete industry client) –Working closely with a concrete industry customer, TransTech Systems was able to develop an innovative sensor unit, based on its electrical impedance technology, capable of working in the hostile environment of a concrete plant tilt drum mixing unit.

Feasibility of Using PQI Impedance Technology to Determine Density Uniformity and Moisture Levels of Packed Tobacco, Phase 0 – TransTech Systems was contacted by a tobacco merchant to carry out this feasibility study to determine whether its multi-frequency electrical impedance technology could not only replace, but also greatly improve, their current methods for determining density uniformity as well as moisture level of tobacco bales. Testing done in TransTech’s labs concluded that indeed, the electrical impedance technology works very well on compressed tobacco.
