		UAT Alternative & Renewable Energy Solutions About 86% of all types of energy used in the United States is derived from fossil fuels. In 2007, the largest source of the country’s energy came from petroleum (40%), followed by natural gas (24%) and coal (23%). The remaining 15% was supplied by nuclear power, hydroelectric dams, and miscellaneous renewable sources. Today, this dependency has increased, not decreased, making us vulnerable. The United States depends on imported fossil fuels to meet over 40 percent of its energy needs. This dependence leaves The United States vulnerable to supply disruptions and high energy prices with estimates showing that every 10 percent increase in world oil prices results in a 0.5 percent reduction in the State’s GDP. At the same time, The United States has abundant natural resources, including wind, sunshine, and geothermal sources for electricity generation, and land for energy crops that can be refined into biofuels to address transportation needs. Economic and culturally sensitive use of natural resources can provide energy supply security and price stability for the people of The United States as well as significant environmental benefits and economic growth opportunities. Successfully developing our clean and sustainable energy economy will make The United States a global model.


		UAT CLEAN ENERGY VISION Umbra Applied Technologies is pioneering new research, in partnership with others, in the areas of Solar Energy and Hydrogen Energy platforms to not only reduce but, eventually eliminate our dependency on fossil fuels. Umbra Applied Technologies is finding innovative ways to develop alternative energy sources and help customers identify and implement energy conservation and management solutions. The need for high-level capabilities in complex systems integration, project management, information technology, and advanced manufacturing techniques, along with the national security component of the effort, make energy solutions a natural fit for Umbra Applied Technologies. Today, one by one and in ever increasing numbers, governments around the world are embracing clean energy as fundamental to their strategies of national energy security and global environmental responsibility. In so doing, they are responding to an imperative that is gaining ever greater cogency on every continent. After assessing the human and environmental realities around them, national leaders are recognizing that clean energy today represents nothing less than an indispensable asset if our world is to meet what must be recognized as the greatest challenge in human history. Between now and 2050, as world population swells from 6.6 billion toward 9 billion, humankind will consume more energy than the combined total used in all previous history. Under prevailing patterns of energy use, the results will prove calamitous. The resulting pollution will damage or ruin the health of tens and likely hundreds of millions of citizens, mainly in the developing world. Far worse, the intensifying concentration of greenhouse gases will take past a point of no return as we hurdle toward climate catastrophe. Today the world economy is producing greenhouse emissions at the rate of 29 billion tons per year – some 900 tons per second – a rate still rising despite rhetoric and negotiation. An overwhelming majority of climate scientists, and an increasing cohort of world political leaders, agree that we must, by mid-century, cut global greenhouse emissions by a full 60% – even as world energy consumption triples. In the sheer scope and urgency of this challenge, we face nothing less than a global emergency. 2010 was the largest year on record for investment in clean energy, led by China, Europe and the US, and that globally, investment opportunity in the sector continues to improve. Umbra Applied Technologies is committed to clean energy with its Clean Energy Initiative designed to transform electricity into an environment and customer-focused clean energy system, through research and development of advanced technologies which will produce clean, zero emission, renewable energy.


		CLEAN HYDROGEN ENERGY Hydrogen is the simplest element. An atom of hydrogen consists of only one proton and one electron. It’s also the most plentiful element in the universe. Despite its simplicity and abundance, hydrogen doesn’t occur naturally as a gas on the Earth - it’s always combined with other elements. Water, for example, is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen (H2O). Hydrogen is high in energy, yet an engine that burns pure hydrogen produces almost no pollution. NASA has used liquid hydrogen since the 1970s to propel the space shuttle and other rockets into orbit. Hydrogen fuel cells power the shuttle’s electrical systems, producing a clean byproduct - pure water, which the crew drinks. A fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. Fuel cells are often compared to batteries. Both convert the energy produced by a chemical reaction into usable electric power. However, the fuel cell will produce electricity as long as fuel (hydrogen) is supplied, never losing its charge. Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising technology for use as a source of heat and electricity for buildings, and as an electrical power source for electric motors propelling vehicles. Fuel cells operate best on pure hydrogen. Umbra Applied Technologies is currently reviewing solar heat-powered thermo chemical reactions; and solar photolysis to produce Hydrogen and to power highly efficient, Hydrogen fuel cells and sources.


		CLEAN SOLAR ENERGY Umbra Applied Technologies is currently reviewing a technology that would use advanced solar cells and or electrolysis to store compressed air underground and release it to power a turbine to generate electricity. This technology is being reviewed by our Advanced Technologies Development Division (ATDD) under the project name APTIG (Alternative Powered Turbine Induction Generator). With this new clean energy, individual homes or entire cities could be powered with an independent zero emission power source. The implementation of such technology as a way to subsidize existing power supplies or power grids will drastically reduce environmental pollution and green house gases, all while making energy more abundant and less expensive In the U.S. industrial sector, compressed air systems account for an estimated $5 billion per year in energy costs. Many industries use compressed air systems as power sources for tools and equipment used for pressurizing, atomizing, agitating, and mixing applications. Optimization of compressed air systems can provide energy efficiency improvements of 20%-50%. Almost 70% of the United States and China’s energy come from coal. A dirty, non-renewable and non-environmentally friendly energy source. With the implementation of APTIG technology, compressed air systems could subsidize half of the energy supplied by coal for both the United States and China with a market share of $3 trillion per year. This would drastically reduce global pollution and create a whole new employment sector that has the potential to employee more than the coal industry under safer conditions.

WAPCEN (Water Purification & Treatment Center)

click to learn more

Under the HYDROS Initiative, Umbra Applied Technologies has developed a revolutionary and dynamic new Water Purification & treatment Center or WAPCEN™. WAPCEN™ represents a paradigm shift in water purification and treatment.

The Umbra Applied Technologies new WAPCEN™ platform is an innovative and affordable, patented process to clean cooling tower water using our green electrolytic technology. WAPCEN™ removes the minerals from the tower water so that absolutely NO SCALE accumulates to diminish the heat transfer efficiencies.

It is NOT a reverse osmosis system, magnetic or pulse process. It is a unique and patented electrolytic process that generates a mixture of gases from salt water that are then dissolved into a bypass stream of cooling tower water. This water then reacts with minerals and causes them to separate and settle out of the water which is then filtered out.

These same gases are also powerful biocides that will disinfect the cooling tower system and extend the life expectancy of the equipment, while killing bacteria, viruses, slime, molds, algae and other microbials in the water; preventing air–borne diseases to be spread through the air ducts.

This process also eliminates the need for cooling tower discharge, thus reducing water consumption, eliminating chemical and salt expenses and eliminating sewer fees in their entirety.

		SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is intelligence-gathering via the interception of signals, whether between people; Communications Intelligence (COMINT), whether involving electronic signals not directly used in communication; Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), or combinations of the two. This type of intelligence is typically derived from electronic signals and systems used by foreign targets and/or domestically sourced communications, such as communications systems, radars, and weapons systems. SIGINT provides a vital window for our nation into foreign adversaries’ capabilities, actions, and intentions. As sensitive information is often encrypted, signals intelligence often involves the use of cryptanalysis and traffic analysis which is the process of identifying who is signaling whom and in what quantity. This can often produce valuable information, even when the messages themselves cannot be decrypted. The National Security Agency is the primary agency responsible for providing foreign and domestic Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) to United States policy-makers and military forces. SIGINT plays a vital role in U.S. national security by providing U.S. leaders with the critical information needed to defend our country, save lives, and advance U.S. goals and alliances globally. The SIGINT mission is specifically limited to gathering information about international terrorists and foreign powers, organizations, or persons. NSA produces intelligence in response to formal requirements levied by those who have an official need for intelligence, including all departments of the Executive Branch of the United States Government. Umbra Applied Technologies (UAT) is a leading provider of intelligence, to include SIGINT, through geopolitical analysis and an understanding of international affairs. UAT uses an, intelligence-based approach to gathering information via rigorous open-source monitoring (OSINT), via its revolutionary UAT Sentiment Analysis Platform (USAP), and a global network of human sources. Analysts then evaluate events looking through collected data and the objective lens of geopolitics.


		Open Source Intelligence Web Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is information collected and analyzed from multiple public available sources on the Internet. OSINT creates usable intelligence sources for open source intelligence, and can include any subject in any language found anywhere on the Web. In contrast to common search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing or others, the information targeted, collected and analyzed by OSINT solutions creates an aggregated, rich and validated intelligence product including information from the Deep Web. The Deep Web accounts for about 80% of the data on the Web that is not accessible to commercial search engines such as: • Sites requiring registration in order to access information, including publications and local directories • Social networks • Corporate intranets • Market research services and all other information services; • Files and media sharing sites and geo-spatial information around the world. But it is not just about retrieving, collecting and analyzing targeted information -- it is about automating the process and deriving actionable intelligence by putting the pieces together and delivering it to the right place at the right time. The importance of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has grown dramatically in recent years due to the Web revolution. Today, for most government agencies, OSINT is becoming the major source of intelligence, and increasingly recognized as the answer to many of today’s intelligence challenges.


		Network Intelligence Prior to 9/11, the intelligence process and tools used by our government were primarily directed at known threats with well understood functions and activities. However, with the rising importance of non-state actors and asymmetric threats, threat-focused processes and tools are now directed at known threats whose functions and activities are not well understood. Today’s intelligence environment is characterized by voluminous amount of data; with the information age exponentially increasing the volume, variety, and velocity of available data. This environment has spawned the development of an entirely new Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) sub-discipline, Network Intelligence (NETINT). The objective of an intelligence discipline is to apply sources, sensors, and analysis to provide a decision advantage or to enhance decision confidence. The current intelligence disciplines each arose out of a change in environment and technology to provide a unique perspective on the threat. Each discipline is focused on an object, not directly on a relationship. Combined by a talented analyst, they can provide great insight. Current recognized intelligence disciplines include: Open-Source (OSINT), Human (HUMINT), Signals (SIGINT), Geographic (GEOINT), Measurements & Systems (MASINT), Technical (TECHINT), and Counter Intelligence (CI). All of the current disciplines demand Requirements Officers, Intelligence Collectors and Analysts with unique capabilities. Today, these disciplines leverage network analysis tools to add value to analytical products and enhance analytical capacity to spot non-intuitive linkages. NETINT provides insight into relationships to build a representation of threat functions and describe the behavior of a system of systems. This methodology can both provide decision advantage with new insights and enhance decision confidence through adapting repeatable quantitative processes. Data sources include other intelligence domains, the ubiquitous computing environment and social media. Unique sensors can produce population indexing, sentiment analysis, and models of human intent. Network Intelligence addresses many of the challenges inherent in identifying mechanisms and measuring effectiveness to support Effects Based Operations. The network intelligence analysis process starts with a systems perspective and establishes the status, behavior and linkages of nodes within and between chosen metrics. For example, analysis may model relationships between nodes representing individuals and geographic or conceptual metrics. Multi-metric analysis can enable the development of a network model for human behavior. Under the HERMES Directive, Umbra Applied Technologies (UAT) has leveraged NETINT with innovative know-how to create the apex sentiment metrics and intelligence gathering platform. The UAT Sentiment Analysis Platform (USAP) is a high-performance and advanced intelligence platform that uses advanced metrics and algorithms to locate and extract sentiment from Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) or digital content sources, including mainstream websites, social media outlets, internal servers and incoming news feeds. UAT’s unique hybrid approach combines powerful statistical techniques with linguistics and syntax metrics to improve accuracy at an exceptionally detailed level. It summarizes the sentiment expressed in all available communications collections – identifying trends in real time so as to identify what is "Of Interest" and what is "Actionable Intelligence".

ChatterFox Commercial Managing social media has become increasingly challenging for companies. Results from a survey by Mashable report that developing a listening/monitoring solution and getting tools and technologies in place are in the top internal objectives of corporate social strategists in 2011.v BuzzSwat’s commercial customers include companies, agencies, and institutions requiring broad and deep social media monitoring and analysis and choose to subscribe to a tool that will help them make informed decisions without the expense and expertise required to do these services in house. Most potential customers realize that they can choose to ignore the impact social media intelligence has on their respective industry at their own peril.

ChatterFox is designed to aggregate and analyze social media chatter based on specific search criteria from popular networks including news, blogs, and the top social media sites. Search criteria can be complex and customized for commercial customers to include multiple user–defined variables including keywords, demographics, location, and language. Crisis management is indeed an important role of social monitoring. If brands are quick off the mark with social media monitoring, this is a valuable way to avert a crisis before it spreads. Monitoring social media for brand management is more long term. In these cases automated technology is insufficient when it comes to sentiment analysis. Monitoring and analysis must take place over time and only trained analysts can review and determine sentiment trends in aggregate and within context. BuzzSwat builds long term relationships with our commercial clients, offering them advanced services which can include integrating our monitoring and analysis service with their social media inbound and outbound marketing strategy.

Sentiment Analysis Platform (USAP)

click to learn more

Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is the computational study of people’s opinions, appraisals, attitudes and emotions toward entities, individuals, topics and their attributes expressed in text. Opinions are important because they are key influencers of our behaviors. Our beliefs and perceptions of reality are to a considerable degree conditioned on how others see the world. For this reason, whenever we need to make a decision we often seek out the opinions of others. This is true not only for individuals but also for organizations.

Under the HERMES Directive, Umbra Applied Technologies Sentiment Analysis Program (USAP) delivers insights on customer, competitor and organizational opinions to a degree never before possible via manual review of electronic communications. As a result, UAT, a leader as an intelligence services provider has once again created a revolutionary platform for intelligence gathering.

USAP is a high–performance and advanced intelligence command center that uses advanced metrics and algorithms to locate and extract sentiment from digital content sources, including mainstream websites, social media outlets, internal servers and incoming news feeds. UAT’s unique hybrid approach combines powerful statistical techniques with linguistics and syntax metrics to improve accuracy at an exceptionally detailed level. It summarizes the sentiment expressed in all available communications collections – identifying trends and creating graphical reports that describe the expressed feelings of consumers, partners, employees and competitors in real time. Output from UAT’s USAP platform can be stored in document repositories, surfaced in corporate portals and used as input to additional UAT intelligence software to help decision makers evaluate trends, predict future outcomes, minimize risks and capitalize on opportunities.

UAT has automated the time–consuming process of reading individual documents and manually extracting relevant information. Our integrated analytics framework helps organizations maximize the value of information to improve their effectiveness. We provide our clients with an Intelligence Gathering Command Center supported by advanced technology and analysis by trained agents. Our analysts review and determine the intended sentiment of the message within the context of the conversation. We use a proprietary algorithm to assign a significance factor to the chatter based on social influence and many other variables.

USAP helps organizations discover insights from network intelligence materials, associate them for delivery to the right person or place, and provide intelligence to select the best course of action. USAP is an early warning system that answers complex search–and–retrieval questions, ensures appropriate content is presented to internal or external constituencies, and predicts which activity or channel will produce the best effect on existing sentiments. UAT’s USAP platform provides exceptional real–time processing speeds for large volumes of network intelligence materials.

USAP FEATURES

Statistics and linguistics combined to provide more accurate sentiment analysis results
Provides a choice of approaches to sentiment analysis:
Statistical modeling: Provides predefined default parameters – that can also be configured – to identify the document sentiment from text.
Linguistic rules: Lets subject-matter experts define the elements to be examined for sentiment assessment.
Hybrid approach: Provides the unique ability to use both statistical rigor and linguistic metrics to define sentiment models driving more detailed sentiment evaluations.

Ability to import and/or create concepts for evaluations.

Extended sentiment evaluation
Specify as "unclassified" any terms in a taxonomy that are found in the text but are not identified as positive, negative or neutral. This capability provides two main benefits:
Assists with model refinement.
Helps refine activity by pointing out unemotional statements.

Context of features examined for accurate interpretations
Supports complex linguistic metrics for one or several matches of a term, regular expressions, part-of-speech tags, the distance or occurrence of concepts in relation to other words, and more.

Includes prebuilt tasks to simplify linguistic pattern identification. It offers:
Predicate rules to define semantic relationships between concepts.
Operators to locate related information with greater precision, such as co-referencing.
Identification of intermediate concepts that contain rules referenced by other concepts (shortens the rule-writing process).
Case-insensitive matching, so you can match both uppercase and lowercase terms.

Dynamic sentiment analysis
Permits improvements and/or changes over time with multiple model generation within the same project, and the ability to edit and test model modifications.
Allows subject matter experts to refine model performance with an easy-to-use point-and-click workbench.
Monitoring of results over time will inform model analysis refinement, and comparisons to benchmark training sets can be established to allow for continuous improvement.

		INTELLIGENCE & HOMELAND SECURITY Umbra Applied Technologies (UAT) is looking to develop and deploy an intelligence division which ensures that information related to homeland security threats is collected, analyzed, and disseminated to the full spectrum of homeland security customers in the Department, at state, local, and tribal levels, in the private sector, and in the Intelligence Community (IC). UAT will work closely with department component intelligence organizations as well as state, local, tribal, and private-sector entities to ensure non-traditional streams of information are fused with traditional IC sources to provide a complete assessment of threats to the nation. UAT seeks to optimize its customers capability to collect and analyze intelligence and information and produce finished analyses tailored to the needs of our key customers. UAT will provide the countrys leaders at all levels of government with a timely, actionable, and complete understanding of homeland security threats to facilitate informed decision-making, policies, and appropriate operational responses.


		CYBER & SECURITY Worldwide estimates put the cost of cyber crime over $1 trillion annually. At UAT, we work with our clients to manage risk by providing mission-critical cyber security solutions, information technology, intelligence and analytical tools, and support solutions. We work with our clients to collect and manage information to provide intelligence, maintain security, manage risk and strengthen resilience in today’s complex operating environment. The U.S. government sector witnesses a blossoming of investments in cyber security technologies on the wave of progress that the White House and federal agencies have made in establishing interagency groups to plan and coordinate Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) activities, setting up cyber security R&D goals and creating framework for industry-wide cooperation. “The recent intrusions at the International Monetary Fund, the U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin, and at Citibank join those that occurred in the oil and gas sector, at NASDAQ, and at Google as further, troubling instances of a widespread and serious phenomenon. Even some companies employing sophisticated commercial defenses have fallen victim to intrusions that have compromised services and stolen intellectual property,” said Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn, speaking at the 28th Annual International Workshop on Global Security in Paris. To respond the cyber threat the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have established a pilot program with leading private defense contractors and ISPs called DIB Cyber Pilot and that is only one of the many federal government programs driving the cyber security market. Over the past few years a number of cyber attacks perpetrated by criminals, hackers and foreign nations against the U.S. Government’s networks rose sharply. “Among the greatest concerns that impacts both military and civilian realms is cybersecurity,” James G. Stavridis, Navy Adm., NATO’s supreme allied commander for Europe and commander of U.S. European Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Today, we have a billion devices that are accessing the Internet,” he said. “Our economies are entangled in this Internet sea, and it’s an outlaw sea. Nothing exists in the norms of behavior. There is a military aspect to it, but it’s all of society. At some point, there needs to be a very global conversation on this challenge.” “Federal agencies have spent more on cyber security than the entire GDP of North Korea, who some have speculated is to be involved with some of this cyber attacks,” said Senator Thomas. L. Carper. “The issue of Cyber Warfare is not science fiction anymore. It’s reality.”

3D Molecular Body Imaging

Non–evasive whole body scanning and imaging by chemical element. This means we can scan, identify and image anything on the periodic table thus, eliminating the need for "enhanced pat–downs" and saved images of recognizable or revealing body images. With this technology an individual is scanned molecularly and shown as an abstract humanoid image. The detection of contraband is the focus not "seeing" beneath ones clothes.

The same Gamma Resonance Absorption (GRA) technology used in our CDIS platform for Homeland Security Operations (HSO) has potential lifesaving applications in the medical field.

The focus is non–intrusive resonance techniques, investigating the viability of Gamma Resonance, Gamma Resonance Fluorescence and other technologies for the purpose of diagnosing and treating diseases. This is executed through non–invasive whole body composition scanning and imaging by chemical element. Further research is under way to develop superior scanning to measure for early detection of Cancer cells by differentiating Cancer cells from normal cells.

This technology surpasses CAT scan, MRI and PET Scan in its unique capability to image the human body by chemical element. Can detect and image down to the molecular structure of an individual cell and detect as well as identify any anomalies. This should drastically reduce misdiagnosis and prevent the loss of precious life saving time for critically ill patients.

Contraband Detection & Imaging System (CDIS)

click to learn more

CDIS units are used for non–intrusive detection and imaging systems based on Gamma Resonance Fluorescence, Gamma Resonance Absorption, Gamma induced Photofission and other proprietary technologies combined. This provides the unique capability to detect and image threats such as explosives, nuclear weapons and materials, chemical warfare components, drugs, contraband and emerging threats specifically by chemical element without the need for operator interpretation and analysis of images or data with a greater than 95% accuracy. This allows high detection probability without false alarms. The system designs are customized for specific applications which include imaging 2D, 3D tomographic of the total contents and the specific threats simultaneously. The unique attributes of this technology also provides standoff and remote detection for military applications for detection of improvised explosive devices (IED’s) car and truck bombs at safe distances to provide adequate time to respond.

CDIS is a system designed to detect and image all types of explosive materials (liquid and solid), chemical and biological warfare components, radioactive or nuclear materials and nuclear weapons (shielded and unshielded), drugs, contraband and new emerging threats. Detection is specifically accomplished by chemical element.

CDIS, will be the only existing technology capable of simultaneously detecting multiple threats with better than 95% accuracy and without the need for monitoring personnel to interpret the detected images.

System Characteristics include:
Flexible, open architecture capable of integration with other screening technologies; turn-key operation with minimum operating personnel and training; automatic alarms and location coordinates that eliminate the need for operator interpretation of complex radiographic images.

Multiple inspection stations can be operated from the same gamma production system. The electronics readout and displays may be centralized and remote from the screening stations through wireless technology. The use of advanced gamma resonance techniques puts this system in a class of its own, far superior to other scanning systems in performance and capability.

The system accurately and rapidly locates concealed explosives, improvised nuclear devices (IND), and special nuclear materials (SNM) such as uranium and plutonium, even behind thick shielding. The key feature is the use of several inspection processes in parallel to enhance detection efficiency and reduce false alarms. The system uses proven, commercially available equipment. It can be utilized in various configurations for specific applications such as port security container inspection; airport security inspection of carry-on baggage, checked baggage, cargo, bulk mail, LD-3 containers and vehicles; DOD applications for portal (checkpoint), remote and standoff detection of improvised explosive devices (IED’s), car and truck bombs.

The basic system utilizes precisely tuned high-energy, gamma ray beams to resonate with the specific chemical elements and isotopes of interest to be detected thereby allowing unambiguous detection and identification of the threat materials even through shielding and clutter of other materials rapidly and reliably. This key feature provides the capability to fully automate systems to identify threats without the need for operator interpretation of image or data.

The interaction of the specifically tuned gamma ray beams with the elements and isotopes that represent threats are identified by gamma nuclear resonance fluorescence, gamma nuclear resonance absorption, gamma induced photo fission and may be combined with other modalities for additional capabilities.

The imaging capabilities include 2D, 3D, 3D Tomographic of total contents for verification of manifest and simultaneous 2D, 3D, 3D Tomographic of specific threats. Automated threat algorithms identify the threats by type, quantity and location.
