Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Simulator - Open Source
This code is a highly modular framework for developing smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations running on parallel platforms. The compartmentalization of the code allows for rapid development of new SPH applications and modifications of existing algorithms. The compartmentalization also allows changes in one part of the code used by many applications to instantly be made available to all applications.
ELECTROLYTE FOR BATTERIES WITH REGENERATIVE SOLID ELECTROLYTE INTERFACE
An energy storage device comprising: an anode; and a solute-containing electrolyte composition wherein the solute concentration in the electrolyte composition is sufficiently high to form a regenerative solid electrolyte interface layer on a surface of the anode only during charging of the energy storage device, wherein the regenerative layer comprises at least one solute or solvated solute from the electrolyte composition.
Circularly Polarized Antennas for Active Holographic Imaging through Barriers
Circular polarized antennas and balun structure are dielectrically loaded to optimally match the the dielectric barrier material but yet are still light-weight in design. The circular polarized antennas allow optimal imaging performance because they remove the barrier front surface reflections, optimally couple the electromagnetic energy into the barrier, and remove issues associated with polarized dependent objects embedded in the barrier structure.
Method and Apparatus for Distributed Intrusion Protection System for Ultra High Bandwidth Networks
Our hypothesis will allow high-speed data networks to perform network protocol anomaly detection and countermeasures in real time. An Adaptive Hybrid Pervasive Defense Matrix (AHPDM) will provide an innovative architecture that yields N-scalable intrusion protection capability while minimizing or eliminating adverse impacts on traffic throughput. This proposed solution will also provide a foundation for real time anomaly detection. The rationale behind this method is that a significant performance improvement will be realized by dividing the incoming data stream into separate "channels" (implemented in differing wavelengths of light) and then performing a parallel processing function .for each protocol stream. We assert that this data segregation technique of channel separation greatly simplifies the process of protocol anomaly analysis required for a full spectrum protection environment. The idea is in the concept stage.
Hydroxymethylfurfural Reduction Methods and Methods of Producing Furandimethanol
A method of reducing hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) where a starting material containing HMF in a solvent comprising water is provided. H2 is provided into the reactor and the starting material is contacted with a catalyst containing at least one metal selected from Ni, Co, Cu, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir, Re and Rh, at a temperature of less than or equal to 250° C. A method of hydrogenating HMF includes providing an aqueous solution containing HMF and fructose. H2 and a hydrogenation catalyst are provided. The HMF is selectively hydrogenated relative to the fructose at a temperature at or above 30° C. A method of producing tetrahydrofuran dimethanol (THFDM) includes providing a continuous flow reactor having first and second catalysts and providing a feed comprising HMF into the reactor. The feed is contacted with the first catalyst to produce furan dimethanol (FDM) which is contacted with the second catalyst to produce THFDM.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SEPARATING COMPONENTS OF A MIXTURE (iEdison No. 0685901-23-0076)
Here we disclose a particle separator or fractionator. This separator/fractionator works by driving particles into the bottom of a conduit or pipe with flow obstacles in the upper portion of the pipe. After the obstacles (which may block particles directly or divert particles due to flow patters), the flow can be divided with the larger particles in the lower stream and the particle depleted flow exiting the upper stream. The attached manuscript in the publications section presents images of the proof of principle flow obstacles tested under high throughput conditions. Although the precise details of the separation mechanism require further effort to confirm, two mechanisms may be operative. First, the modular inline particle fractionator may work by driving all large particles into the express lane with no recovery of the larger particles back into the rest of the flow stream. Second, the modular inline particle fractionator may work by laminarizing the flow into the express. When the flow re-expands there is a vertical upward flow that may compete with the gravitational force on the particles to set their position or distribution of positions within the flow streams. This later mechanism opens up the potential to determine the cutoff location. Likely both mechanisms have some influence that may vary with flow rate. (Please note that these flow obstacles are distinctive from those of the mesofluidic separators that were disclosed and on which patent applications have been filed.) In essence, these separators are analogous to asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AFFFF) in which particles in the flow are driven to one side of a flow channel and then the flow field is changed allowing the smaller particles to diffuse away from the side of the channel first and then the larger particle so that progressively larger particles exit the separator. Here in this flow through design, the temporal dimension is exchanged for a spatial dimension so that the degree of separation varies as a function of distance from the end of the flow obstacles with smaller particle exiting on top and larger particles preferentially exiting closer to the express lane.
