TRX Systems Selected for U.S. Army xTechSearch Phase IV for GPS-Denied Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Solution


xTechSearch 3.0

TRX Systems, developer of NEON® Location technology, was selected as a U.S. Army Expeditionary Technology Search (xTechSearch) 3.0 Phase IV finalist by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASAALT). TRX’s NEON® GPS-denied dismount PNT solution was one of 12 finalists selected from over 125 new technologies that were evaluated by the Army. Each of the winning solutions was awarded a $120,000 prize at the 2019 Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Expo at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

TRX’s NEON® Location Service is a low SWaP, easy-to-use assured dismount PNT technology that provides position data that enables tracking and navigation when satellite technology is unavailable or unreliable. NEON® detects GPS interference and delivers continuous location during such events; NEON also delivers 3D personnel location indoors, outside, and underground. NEON provides PNT assurance with commercial-grade solutions that integrate with present and future military satellite assurance and location capabilities. The solution is unique in:

  • Delivering a best in class dismount navigation fusion capability;
  • Detecting jamming threats while continuously tracking personnel;
  • Offering a collaborative navigation capability; and
  • Integrating with soldier systems such as ATAK and Nett Warrior.


The xTechSearch program evaluates innovative technologies needed by the Army and awards prizes to select small businesses that demonstrate proof-of-concept of their dual-use technologies pertaining to Army challenges. The competition is an opportunity for small businesses to pitch novel technology solutions to the Army and, in response, TRX introduced a new technology capability that increases robustness of the NEON dismount PNT solution. As an AUSA awardee in the xTechSearch 3.0 competition, TRX advanced to Stage IV – the final stage – where the finalists will demonstrate their technology innovations through proof-of-concept testing for a panel of Army subject matter experts at the 2020 AUSA Global Force Symposium Exposition in Huntsville, Alabama, March 17th-18th, 2020.

“The xTechSearch program provides invaluable feedback, mentoring, and transition assistance that will help us accelerate fielding of the TRX GPS-denied PNT technology, providing a capability that will enhance situational awareness and improve safety for warfighters in GPS-denied environments,” said Carol Politi, President and CEO of TRX Systems.

Meter Boards Trade Show Signage

Meter Boards Trade Show Signage

Popular trade show venus are McCormick Place Convention Center, Donald E Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont and Navy Pier in Chicago.

Meter Boards help event vendors and attendees find their way around and are also useful to announce the seminars at an event. Meter Boards are easy to use and the ones from Sunrise Hitek offer a unique base that ships flat and is extremely light. Weight and portability are both important considerations when planning a trade show event. The easy fold base requires no tools and can be easily assembled on the show floor.

Meter Boards with base from Sunrise Hitek are printed on 1/2″ thick Ultraboard for a rigid high-end look that won’t warp. The base can be white or black water-resistant 4mm Coroplast and is water resistant. The base is hollow but can be filled with sandbags or water bottles for added stability. These boards are the most popular width 31.5″ (800mm) and come in three different heights, 95″, 86″ or 78″ tall. They can be printed full color on a single side or double-sided with printing on the back as well.

DuPont Wins Two Prestigious R&D 100 Awards for Advancements in Science & Innovation


DuPont Logo

Innovation is a team sport at DuPont, and these awards exemplify DuPont’s culture of outcomes-driven research and willingness to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer impact.

DuPont has been named the winner of two R&D 100 Awards for advancements in science and innovation. The R&D 100 Awards, sponsored by R&D World magazine, recognizes the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.

“Congratulations to the DuPont Finalists and Winners of the 2019 R&D 100 Awards; all of us at DuPont are extremely proud of the innovation and ingenuity your teams contribute every day,” said Alexa Dembek, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer for DuPont. “Innovation is a team sport at DuPont, and these awards exemplify DuPont’s culture of outcomes-driven research and willingness to translate cutting-edge thinking into customer impact.”

The 2019 R&D 100 award-winning DuPont technologies are:

GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™: An innovative solution to make air sealing easier, more precise and with less product waste, the GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™ provides no drip, less mess and greater control, with a dispenser that is reusable for up to 30 days. It was designed to specifically respond to customer pain points over precision, mess and reusability. With the use of the GREAT STUFF™ SMART DISPENSER™, customers can seal air drafts, lower energy costs and prevent moisture buildup – all with a more efficient and effective dispensing mechanism.

Thermally conductive and emissive PBT resin for heatsink applications: DuPont™ Crastin® FR1301TC BK350 was developed as thermally conductive resin to replace aluminum heatsink for lightweighting and high heat emissivity in high-power LED housing. This material also can be applied as a general heatsink in various uses for the electrical and electronics markets and in automotive applications such as electronic component units.

In addition, the following four technologies were named as finalists:

Hytrel® HTR 8808 BK316: Beyond 3D blow molding processability, DuPont™ Hytrel® HTR8808 BK316 can be extruded to ultra-thin wall thicknesses down to 0.2 mm in processes for wire and cable, optical fiber extrusion or tubing. The flexibility, combined with high temperature, high chemical resistance and excellent thermoplastic processability, render Hytrel® HTR8808 BK316 of interest in the development of more sustainable and higher performing engines.

Hytrel® HTR 8895 BK320: DuPont developed Hytrel® HTR 8895 BK320 as a novel solution proven to offer substantial long-term squeak-free performance in a variety of axle and joint designs under severe testing and testing protocols. The technology employs a combination of two substances: one that protects the surface from foreign object abrasion and one that acts as a slow diffusing wax. Each of the substances independently do not resolve the problem but their synergistic effect is remarkable.

DuPont™ Zytel® Fiber-Reinforced Filaments for 3D Printing: DuPont developed reinforced polyamide resins for additive manufacturing that exhibit a combination of low curl/warpage, low moisture absorption, and high modulus and strength of both dry and conditioned printed parts. Zytel® 3D10C20FL and Zytel® 3D12G30FL print with ease without the use of a heated chamber, producing large, complex parts with dimensional accuracy and with properties approaching those of traditional injection-molded articles.

EKC® CuSolve™ 590 Post-Etch Residue Remover: DuPont™ EKC® CuSolve™ 590 is a first-of-its-kind post-etch residue remover (PERR) used by leading-edge chipmakers in the semiconductor fabrication process to enable reliable copper interconnects at their most advanced technology nodes. These integrated circuits are used in high-performance applications, including advanced 5G-compatible smartphones and other mobile devices.

Over the past eight years DuPont has received 13 R&D 100 Awards and been named as a finalist 17 times.

Since 1963, the R&D 100 Awards have identified revolutionary technologies newly introduced to the market. Widely recognized as the “Oscars of Invention,” the R&D 100 Awards identify and celebrate the top technology products and services of the year. The R&D 100 Awards Banquet will take place on Dec. 5.

SpyGuy Releases SCOUT, A Hidden Camera Finder For Airbnbs and Hotels


Scout Hidden Camera Finder – Back

Hidden cameras make the news all the time… and those are just the ones that were found!

Scout, the new hidden camera finder that empowers everyday people to protect their privacy, launched today with an unprecedented combination of ease of use, affordability, savvy design, and professional-grade technology. Scout is like a security team in your pocket: it works on all cameras, is easy to travel with, and is the first high-quality camera finder priced below $100.

Hidden cameras have gotten smaller and less conspicuous over the years, and Americans are increasingly concerned as they are found in places like locker rooms, bathrooms, hotel rooms and vacation rentals. Some cameras are smaller than a button, built into mundane items like coat hooks and USB chargers.

This epidemic has been extensively covered by The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and more.

A recent survey by IPX1031 found that 58% of Airbnb guests are concerned that property owners may have hidden cameras within their Airbnb, and more than 1 in 10 Airbnb guests claim to have found a hidden camera in their rentals.

In the past, travelers were limited to a few insufficient options, like expensive hidden camera-finders that cost hundreds of dollars, or numerous, error-prone steps like scanning Wi-Fi networks, carefully inspecting many suspicious items, or using smartphone apps that claimed to detect cameras but fell short of that promise.

Scout is a breakthrough new option. It employs six special, high-powered LED lights to help users easily “scout” for hidden cameras in sensitive places. Plus, it comes with a pinhole camera to practice on so you know what you’re looking for. Scout requires users to take just a few simple steps:


  • Stand in the middle of the room
  • Hold Scout up to your eye, and turn the power on
  • Scout flashes high-end LED lights that bounce off all camera lenses
  • Alert local police to any hidden cameras found

“Hidden cameras have become a huge problem for travelers,” said Allen Walton, designer of Scout and founder of SpyGuy. “Nobody realizes how easy cameras are to hide. I get Google alerts all day long from media outlets, Reddit users, and other places that talk about the latest spy camera that was found in an Airbnb or Starbucks bathroom. Scout helps find cameras so you don’t have to worry about what some stranger is going to do with videos of you in a private moment.”

Scout draws on Walton’s decade of experience as founder of SpyGuy, where he has served more than 75,000 people like new parents and law enforcement officials with surveillance and counter-surveillance solutions. Numerous high-profile hidden camera incidents and calls from concerned individuals inspired him to design this new, intuitive solution that helps everyone safeguard their privacy.

Learn more about the Scout hidden camera-finder at https://www.spyguy.com/scout. Purchase the Scout hidden camera finder on the Scout website here: https://www.spyguy.com/products/scout-hidden-camera-finder.

About Scout and SpyGuy:

Launched in 2019, Scout is a beautifully designed counter-surveillance product that finds hidden cameras in Airbnbs, hotels, dorm and locker rooms, and public restrooms.

SpyGuy.com was created in 2014 and has served over 75,000 customers, ranging from concerned parents and victims of workplace harassment, all the way to the DEA and Department of Justice. SpyGuy brings transparency, expertise, and great customer service to help people who need surveillance products to solve emotional or financial distress.

Premium Features are Now Standard


Pipe Crawler SIGMA HD with PTZ Camera and Motorized Reel

Pipe Crawler SIGMA HD with Motorized Reel

The Pipe Crawler SIGMA HD was designed and manufactured in order to cover most existing pipe types and shapes. In addition, this new system provides a comfortable working environment due to a solid array of functions.

The steerable robot is equipped with a Full HD color Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) camera head, powerful 10x optical zoom, 12x digital zoom, High Powered Built-in LEDs, Laser measuring diodes, and image stabilization, to name just the main highlights. In addition, the system is furnished with several sensors, which measure internal pressure, slope angles (inclinometer) and pipe turn angles (gyrometer). Two powerful Faulhaber motors (110W each) move the pipe crawler at a speed set and adjusted from the control unit.

The control unit of the system features two touch screens, a built-in telemetry computer with Telescan software and a 256GB internal memory. Two joysticks help to make steering and navigating the robot easy and intuitive. For added protection, the control unit is placed within a hardshell Pelican type case.

In general, durability and safety are some of the outstanding characteristics found in the pipe crawler. The G8 cables are multicore, Aramid reinforced, and protected with thermoplastic housing, while the wet cable end is made of stainless steel. The standard SIGMA HD 150 model comes with a standard 200m (656’) or 250m (820′) optional cable, while the enhanced SIGMA HD 200 version is supplied with a variety of cable lengths ranging from 250m (820’) up to 600m (1,968′). The former simplified model is equipped with a manual reel with a tensioner and a smart rewinder function, while the latter, enhanced version of the system boasts a motorized reel, which unwinds, retracts and regulates the cable automatically. Predictably, the robot with the camera and the cable are fully waterproof.
