Economical Crack Repair Method
We are the global leader in open innovation competitions with clients ranging from fortune 1000, large-scale not-for-profits, and governmental agencies. With more than a decade of experience, we have a proven track record of crowdsourcing innovation solutions from the world’s smartest people, who compete to provide ideas and solutions to important business, social, policy, scientific, and technical challenges. We are an authorized zintro partner.
Cracks may occur in materials due to cyclic thermal or mechanical loading (“fatigue”), quality defects (e.G. Material inclusions) or environmental degradation (e.G. Corrosion). Cracks may also result from just one loading event which greatly exceeds normal design values (e.G. An impact event), or the result of progressive damage originating from some prior failure.
Our client is interested in ideas/methods to repair multiple cracks in a material economically and efficiently without great risk to operators. We have often found that professionals with experience in adjacent subject areas of can help to deliver the best solutions and so if you are interested in participating in the challenge please follow this link: https://goo.Gl/wvicsu .

habitat restoration, improvement, and creation in rivers, streams, and estuaries are key elements for the recovery of salmon, trout, and other critical fish species in the united states. Millions of dollars are spent annually on activities such as manipulating flow regimes, adding structural elements such as wood or rock, reconnecting rivers with their floodplains, and restoring wetlands. A critical aspect in evaluating the effectiveness of these habitat manipulations is understanding how they influence the food resources available to critical fish species targeted for recovery and protection. Yet despite its importance, quantification of food resources has proven difficult.
Our client is seeking a way to economically detect, count, and identify zooplankton and drift invertebrates in river and estuary systems. Oceanographic techniques exist, however problems with transferring these to rivers and streams are higher water velocities, turbidity, higher surface/depth ratio, and costs (time and money).
This theoretical challenges requires the submission of a written proposal, and offers a $30,000 prize pool.
