ALL LIQUIDS HAVE A UNIQUE ACOUSTIC FLUID IDENTITY (FluID™)
EVOLUTION OF ACOUSTIC
TECHNOLOGY
THE PROBLEM:
Tens of Thousands Sealed Artillery Shells Containing Chemical Weapons.
HEADED BY THE US STATE DEPT. TO INSPECT RUSSIAN MILITARY ARSENAL
THE OBJECTIVE:
Create an effective non-invasive, non-destructive method for identifying chemical agents inside containers rapidly and reliably.
PRIOR TO
2004
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory identified distinguishing acoustic metrics detectable in sealed containers -- the basis for Perceptive Sensor Technologies™ Patented and Patent-Pending Acoustic Technology.

A DATABASE OF CHEMICALS
Machines were calibrated to detect liquids matching specific criteria with positive/negative or 'present' or 'not present' response.
All Liquids Have a Unique Fluid Identity.
The biometrics of hazardous or harmful bioweapon materials and those in petrochemicals or even shampoo are identifiable using Acoustic Fingerprinting™. This process makes distinguishing between 87 Octane Gasoline and 92 Octane with discerning accuracy (99.96%+) possible in a matter of milliseconds.

ADAPTATION
PORTABILITY to PERMANENT IMPLEMENTATION
Development of key sensors to measure depths between two points in both large storage tanks or pipelines implemented at various stages of custodial transfer gave semi-permanent, redundant and real-time data without the need for manual involvement. These advancements include units effective in monitoring refineries / petrochemical plants, tankers, and trucks thus providing hands-free, test-free critical data, real-time.
