Increasing Power Capture of Wave Energy Converters via Advanced control of the PowerTake-Off
SBC: Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. Topic: 09aThe increase in the ability of a wave energy converter (WEC) to capture energy from waves is critical to ensuring the viability and cost effectiveness of wave energy power devices. WECs absorb wave power by applying a back force to oppose the forces that waves exert on the system. The back force is implemented by the systems Power Takeoff and is typically chosen via a constant damping value (resis ...

Novel Energy Saving Phosphorescent OLED Lighting Products
SBC: UNIVERSAL DISPLAY CORPORATION Topic: 04aCurrent lighting technologies are relatively energy inefficient and heavy resulting in considerable energy consumption, particularly in aircraft interiors. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED), potentially an inexpensive diffuse source, may compete directly with conventional lights, and also with inorganic electroluminescent lamps in energy efficient diffuse lighting applications. We have identifie ...

Safe and Renewable Plasticizers from Cellulose
SBC: Exelus, Inc. Topic: 10aPhthalates are a class of petroleum-derived chemicals used as plasticizers to improve the properties of polymeric materials like PVC. However, they are currently being phased out of use in the US and elsewhere due to concerns about their toxicity and action as endocrine disruptors. One viable substitute for phthalates is esters of isosorbide. Isosorbide is a di-alcohol containing two fused oxolane ...

Optimal production planning, sourcing, distribution and routing for complex energy intensive manufacturing companies using High Performance Computing
SBC: OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS INC Topic: 02aEnergy costs are the main cost drivers for large industries like chemicals & amp; gaseous products & amp; they depend on massive economies of scale and an efficient supply chain to stay competitive. Todays approaches to supply chain optimization are based on static snap-shot data and are not suitable for real-time use in tactical demand fulfillment. Companies have yet to effectively harness the po ...

GaAsSb/AlGaAsP Superlattice Polarized Electron Source
SBC: SVT ASSOCIATES INC Topic: 41eThe negative-electron-affinity (NEA) photocathodes which produce polarized electrons are a vital component of electron accelerators such as that at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and DoE Jefferson Lab. Future systems, such as the International Linear Collider (ILC), will require a polarized electron beam intensity at least 20 times greater than produced by strained GaAs, which is us ...

Gimbal-Free Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing Free Space Optical Communication (WDMFSO) for Ocean Surface Transceivers
SBC: Wavefront Topic: N122116Lasercom, namely, free-space optical (FSO) communication, has many advantages over the traditional RF communication channels widely used in military communications. Some notable advantages of lasercom are no need for licensing for frequency allocation, immunity to radio frequency interference, and low probability of interception and detection. The biggest disadvantage of lasercom, however, is its ...
