Introduction to PASS AWARD WINNER HILDA Bottle Inspector • PASS technology was initially developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy • Build Material Signature polynomials based on liquid viscosity, attenuation and Temperature y = -9E-06x2 +0.0028x +1.3287, R2 = 0.9967 for water (DeGrosso and Mader) • Invented by US National Lab • R&D 100 award winner • Patent Protected
Introduction to PASS HILDA Bottle Inspector • Spearhead Innovations has more than 25 years working history with the US government Agencies – Congress, Senate, White House, Department of Defence and Department of Energy and Justice department. • Exclusively manufactured by Spearhead Innovations and designed by the US Navy to military specifications. • Handheld, ruggedized and battery-operated, PASS is designed for fast and easy to use on sealed containers of various sizes, including large jugs, propane tanks, 55-gallon drums, tanker trucks, and railroad cars. (PASS 500 operates from 8”in Minimum – 96”in Maximum) – Only product in the world • Since the device makes its determinations without opening containers, its handlers and the public are protected from potentially disastrous exposure to lethal or otherwise hazardous materials and vapors. • It is sensitive enough to distinguish between different grades of fuel. • Exclusively Manufactured by Spearhead Innovations • Portable, Sensitive Sealed Container Testing Tool • Patent Protected by the US Government

PASS 500 Specifications HILDA Bottle Inspector The PASS liquid/material databases resides on the PDA and can be readily updated with additional liquids or materials using the PSAMS technology. The PSAMS platform is used to acquire acoustic velocity and data on select fluids as a function of temperature and frequency
Multiple Operation Modes PASS uses acoustic inspection technology to rapidly, reliably, and safely interrogate sealed, liquid-filled containers and bulk solid commodities with multiple modes of operation: • Material ID Mode • Identify/Classifyliquids and solids based on signature matching • Determinefill level of containers • Contraband Mode • Detecthidden compartments and submerged contraband • Alarm Mode • Exposecontainers with contents unlike those surrounding • Monitor Mode • Monitorfill levels continuously from a central location
PASS Application - Border Security - Customs • Shipping Manifest Validation • Catching liquids that are passed as other liquids • Identifying non-matching containers from a set • Proper taxation revenue on imported liquids • On Average 30% of all freight into airport is liquid • Hidden Compartment Detection • Container detected dimension does not match container • Catch Smuggling Operations • Contraband Detection • Controlling drug trafficking – current sampling is minimal • Controlling Drug Money and weapons trafficking
PASS Application - Border Check Points • Border Protection • Protecting Countries from illegal and harmful Goods • Stopping Smuggling – Drug & Weapons trafficking • Securing Boarder – Chemical weapons stockpiles could end in terrorists hands – Syria Civil War • Airport Liquid Movements • Liquid Containers & bottles are used or sold behind security check in Airports • Dangerous explosive substances could go through Airports back doors. • Train & Subway Stations Security • Dangerous Liquids can be passed into Train & Subway Stations to a disastrous catastrophes – Tokyo Subway
PASS Application – Anti-Drug • Drug Smuggling • Smuggling drugs in trucks saddle tanks • Mixing liquid Cocaine with other oils & extracting it later • Contraband Detection • Drug Manufacturing • Illegal Drugs Manufacturing needs legal Precursor Chemicals (non-Contraband) Detection • Acetic Anhydride, Hydrochloric Acid, Lime • Ammonium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, Acetone • Moving Precursor Chemicals undetected
PASS Application – Emergency Responders • Suspicious Containers - Bombs • NY Time Square Bomb Scare • London Bomb Threat – Liquid Container • Suspicious Containers Left behind • Suspicious barrels verification is very costly • Anti-Terrorism & Public Safety • Security Check for important Activities, High Value Locations or Sensitive Areas
PASS Application – Fire Fighting & Rescue • Suspicious Containers or Tanks Close to Fire Location • To contain fire and prevent the spread of Potential harmful substances • Security of the fire fighters and public • Chemical Storage Compliance • Fire Marshall validate chemical storage compliance and issue fines for non-compliance
PASS Application – Weapons Inspections • Search & Inspection of Chemical weapons • Bilateral US-RUS C-Weapons treaty • Iraq during the Gulf war • Detect Inert Submersed Bombs • from live Ammunition using underwater robots with PASS sensors installed • Chemical Warfare Agents Provided by Special request from U.S. Government agency
PASS Applications – Truck Fuel Distribution • Fuel Truck Distribution Theft • Replacing Good Fuel with cheap blends – Ethanol, Naphtha • Pumping Back delivered Fuel – Fuel Airing • Delivering fuel and then refilling (stealing with accomplices) • Manipulating filling gauges • Validating Fuel Quality & Dilution • Mixed Jet Fuel damages Engines and fuel controls • US loses $1 Billion from fuel fraud – Department of Defense • Detecting water level at bottom of truck
PASS Applications – Fuel Tanks & Tankers • Monitor Fuel Tanks Fill Level • Provide accurate fuel storage stocks • Detect fuel leaks – measures fuel levels to 1000th of an inch • Expedite tanker fuel acceptance • Measuring quality of delivered fuel – Minimizing tanker docking time • Real-time monitoring of fill level that can detect leaks (Needs PASS M) • Provide advance notice to Coast Guard on Fuel Type (Quality & load – Needs PASS M) • Lower environmental Impact, Insurance & Litigation costs • Detect water level at bottom of tanks • Deliver fuel only – not a mixture of fuel and water • Detect sludge level – clean tank on time
PASS Applications - Pharmaceutical - Additives • Pharmaceutical Raw Material Verification • Raw Material verification without unsealing containers • Sampling all containers – speeding sampling to minutes from hours • Ingredient Verification for Cosmetic Raw Material • Validate Quality of Raw Chemicals Mixtures • Building Construction & Other Manufacturing Industries • Validate Quality of Chemicals Mixtures • (Plasticizers) used in mixing concrete • Quality & Quantity Check of Additives • Used in various irreversible productions • Early Incoming Inspection to Reduce the Risk and Minimize Losses
