Abstract: A molecular thermoelectric (M-TE) lipid layer includes a lipid bilayer or monolayer and a dopant, and in particular, the dopant can be an n-type dopant, a p-type dopant, or a hybrid thereof. The dopant can be selected from modified biological molecules, such as lipid, transmembrane protein and oligonucleotides. A molecular thermoelectric (M-TE) lipid device can incorporate the molecular thermoelectric (M-TE) lipid layer.

Abstract: A thermal storage composition is defined by a polymer having thermally responsive absorption or passage capabilities based on an Upper Critical Solution Temperature (UCST) or Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST), and a sorbent in fluidic communication with the polymer. A fluid such as water conveys thermal energy between the polymer and the sorbent based on an identified target temperature that acts as a thermostat for synergistic fluid release and transfer between the polymer and sorbent that stores and releases heat energy in a cyclic manner. The composition includes a synergistic integration of a sorbent and selectively hydrophilic polymer to alternately hydrate according to a target temperature based on the UCST of the water/sorbent combination.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) laser-based scan of a façade of a structure is conducted. Based on data of the 3D laser-based scan, a 3D computer model of the façade is generated. Then, a design of insulation to be installed on the façade is determined based on the generated 3D computer model. According to the determined design, insulation is fabricated via an automated fabrication process.
