TS-046751 — A novel sensor for the screening of field crops, one example being the amino acids in soybeans. This allows the quality and nutritional value of the soybeans to be evaluated quickly and simply. This technology would benefit not only farmers and producers of soybeans and soy products, but also consumers by manufactures to know the quality of the ingredients received to be monitored.

TS-036603 — Verbal communication of color is challenging, therefore mathematically-standardized color spaces are used. ColorBySpectra is software that in one click can convert large sets of absorbance data obtained from a simple spectrophotometer into color spaces: Hunter Lab, CIEL*c*h* and CIEL*a*b*. It reduces time for data collection, and sample volume and equipment needs. The software is useable on multiple platforms and would be useful in food science or other industries interested in precise color information.
