C55-13a-270397To date, no integrated characterization and predictive modeling workflow has been proposed to optimize Geothermal Battery Energy Storage (GBES) systems in sedimentary formations. Of particular concern is the near wellbore formation integrity of GBES systems that are subject to Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) loading conditions: during injection, storage, and production c ...

PFAS coatings have been widely used for producing consumable food-related packaging paper and tableware because of their good water and oil resistance. However, the potential risks associated with PFAS leaking during packaging usage and recycling threaten food safety and human health. The Creekside Environmental Products-Mississippi State University (MSU) Team proposes the development of PFAS-free ...

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 ...

QX300 is a multi-use, fully autonomous (using AI for operations in orbit) and reusable orbital vehicle. Similar in design to X-37B and Dream Chaser. But without restrictions in terms of ceiling operation. Could be used for Earth and Lunar orbit operations

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 in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning US offshore wind industry ...

HEKTR (Humanoid Engageable Kinetic Training Robot) is a transformational, next generation live-fire training system that dramatically increases soldier lethality while gaining efficiencies in time and resources in order to modernize the Force. HEKTR’s realistic target can be manipulated to replicate both friend and foe allowing the flexibility to frequently change training scenarios in order to ...

Civilian Casualties better known as CIVCAS, is the bane of Law Enforcement Agencies, Security Forces and other combat forces who engage with a potential threat and make incorrect use of force decision making processes. This is due mainly to insufficient and non-realistic training.  MVP Robotics develops robotic training solutions to improve human safety and performance in austere environments.  ...

We are developing a machine intelligence (MI) that will infer vertical soil water flux from changes in vertical moisture distribution measured using available moisture sensors. This innovation addresses a serious information deficit that limits water management and conservation efforts, and will have immediate societal impact in high value agricultural regions such as California’s Central Valley ...
