Abstract: An optimal energy management method and a system that implements the method for a nearly zero energy building (nZEB) based on the genetic algorithm technique that can provide an optimal balance between the objectives of energy saving, comfort of the building residents and maximum exploitation of the generated electric energy by the renewable energy sources through the proper utilization of a battery storage system, is developed in this invention. The above can be attained by minimizing a cost function that considers the real-time electricity price, the generated/consumed electric energy by each device, the user preferences, the state-of-charge and the energy price of the battery storage system (BSS), and the weather forecast. the system that implements the optimal energy management method comprises energy and temperature sensors, controllable power switches, a battery storage system and a controller with human machine interface. The outcomes of the energy management system are control signals that regulate the operation of the power switches and the inverter of the battery storage system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the design and development of a drug delivery nanoplatform that consists of nanoporous, multi-layer biodegradable polymeric (BP) thin films for controlled release of its payload. The method is used notably to synthesize nanoporous BP coatings as drug delivery vehicles exhibiting uniform nanopores with tailored characteristics for control of drug delivery and release. It enables the multiplex delivery of drugs that can be eluted at desirable time intervals in line with each medical need. Atomic Force Microscopy and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry are applied for determining nanoporosity, thickness, drug loading, structural properties, and quality of the BP films ensuring the quality control of the final product. The complete degradation of the polymers minimizes the toxicity within the human body and such nanoplatform can be used in a wide range of drug eluting and other medical implants and biomedical devices.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device (20) includes thin film structures (56) disposed on a semiconductor substrate (54) and patterned to define components of an integrated drive circuit, which is configured to generate a drive signal. A back end of line (BEOL) stack (42) of alternating metal layers (44, 46) and dielectric layers (50) is disposed over the thin film structures. The metal layers include a modulator layer (48), which contains a plasmonic waveguide (36, 99, 105) and a plurality of electrodes (30, 32, 34, 96, 98, 106), which apply a modulation to surface plasmons polaritons (SPPs) propagating in the plasmonic waveguide in response to the drive signal. A plurality of interconnect layers are patterned to connect the thin film structures to the electrodes. An optical input coupler (38, 82) is configured to couple light into the modulator layer, whereby the light is modulated by the modulation of the SPPs, and an optical output coupler (38, 82) is configured to couple the modulated light out of the modulator layer.
