DHS Patented Technologies Collection
This page contains summaries of DHS patented technologies to provide information for potential partners who may be interested in licensing or further development under a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA). You can find further information about licensing DHS owned technologies at https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/technology-transfer-program or CRADA opportunities at https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/cradas.
-
Explosive Threat Mitigation Unit
When security personnel identify a potential explosive device, they can use a steel box to contain it until the threat can be assessed and mitigated. However, steel boxes are bulky and heavy, which hinders the rapid and secure containment of potential explosives.
-
Biometric Data Collection and Verification System
This technology includes a system and method to quickly and accurately validate biometric information.
-
Electrostatic Reactivity Testing Device and Method
A safety testing system to determine material reactivity to electrostatic discharge.
-
Self-Orienting Suction Point For Fluid Transportation
A novel marine engine design to maintain oil pressure and prevent loss of propulsion in rough seas.
-
Portable Vapor Generating Device for Canine Training (e-Canine Non-Detonable Training Device)
Vapor-emitting device for explosives scent detection training.
-
Inverted Cylinder Hydrostatic Ventilator
A low-cost, portable, and easily-assembled ventilator to safely deliver humidified and decontaminated breathing air to patients.
-
Synchronized Markers for X-Ray Systems
Synchronized x-ray marker system to eliminate bag misidentification when removing a bag with a potential threat during x-ray screening and inspection.
-
Measurement System and Methods of Measuring a Reflection Coefficient
Free-space measurement system to increase accuracy in characterization of materials in the gigahertz range
-
Homeland Explosive Consequence and Threat Tool (HExCAT)
HExCAT is a scenario-based probabilistic hazard assessment tool with an integrated medical response model used to plan emergency response preparedness and protect against explosive attacks.
-
