Beljan, of Eden, New York, evaluated remediation alternatives to improve the water quality of Onondaga Lake, ultimately helping to develop a method to aerate the lake that would improve the water and ecosystem.

The Card Swipe System will track personnel, students, parents and visitors in and out of the Center for Handicapped Children (CHC) in Williamsville NY, by means of two separate tracking systems. The primary system is based on card-swipe data, and tracks people in and out of separate rooms in the center. The secondary system monitors the entrances of the center, and uses RFID tags to track people in and out of the center. This secondary system at the entrances and exits allows the system to reliably determine what people are in the center at a given time, and the primary system provides a method of tracking their location within the center. The system provides a 3D cut-away view of the building and all rooms with real time personnel location.
Besides the obvious application toward security, the system helps track state-mandated therapies and activities, as therapists and teachers administer to their students. The system produces reports at the end of each week that list the amount of contact time that therapists spend with students doing speech, physical, and occupational therapies and special education.
