THIS PROJECT IS AIMED AT IMPROVEMENT IN POWER DENSITY AND LOWERING OF THE CARBONATE FUEL CELL COSTS. THE PRESENT GENERATION OF CARBONATE FUEL CELLS IN QUITE ATTRACTIVE FOR BASELOAD UTILITYAPPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH EFFICIENCY, SUPERIOR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE, AND COMPETITIVE COST OF ELECTRICITY. HOWEVER, COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF CARBONATE FUEL CELLS CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED IF TH ...

INTEGRATED-GASIFICATION COMBINED CYCLE GAS TURBINE SYSTEMS OFFER THE POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT USE OF COAL IN THE PRODUCTION OF POWER AND HEAT. THE RECENTLY DEVELOPED ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR (ATECC) TECHNOLOGY OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THESE SYSTEMS. THE MOST NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE VIRTUAL ELIMINATION OF NITROGEN OXIDES (NOX) AND CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) EMI ...

Sonalysts is pleased to offer this proposal to apply accelerated learning techniques to combat the insider cyber threat. Accelerated learning is the accelerated development of persistent expertise in a domain. In other words, accelerated learning techniques are designed to increase the rate at which content is mastered and reduce the rate at which it atrophies during periods of disuse. These te ...

While quantum sensors based on engineered defects in diamond are capable of providing navigation in GPS-denied environments, play a role of unprecedented metrology tools for screening of defects in next generation MRAM devices, and help to discover novel superconducting materials, the absence of commercial production of the core “quantum diamond” material to be used in these sensors hinders th ...

75418-There is currently great interest in functional medical imaging with radionuclides, driven by new clinical applications using positron emission tomography (PET). This project will design and evaluate a revolutionary new photodetection device¿a surface-mountable, miniaturized photomultiplier tube (mPMT) for applications in PET. The device, based on micromachining technology, represents a m ...

A CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING SYSTEM BASED ON A COMBINATIO FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTROMETER (FT-IR/FT-RAMAN) IS PLANNED FOR ANALYSIS OF FLUE GAS AND COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF U.S. FOSSIL RESOURCES FOR ENERGY CONVERSION. THE UNIQUE INSTRUMENT DESIGN EMPLOYS A SINGLE INTERFEROMTER THAT CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY ACQUIRE BOTH INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTRA. THE COMPL ...

There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...
