Abstract: A power system for an engine that can be used in an aircraft, a marine vessel or a land vehicle has a storage tank containing ammonia. An engine supported on the vehicle is configured to operate using hydrogen gas as fuel. A cracking device in or adjacent the engine receives heat from operation of the engine, e.g., from a compressor or a combustion chamber, and also receives ammonia from the storage tank, and it uses the heat from the engine to dissociate the ammonia to produce hydrogen gas. The cracking device supplies the hydrogen gas to the engine, which has a combustor in which combustion of the hydrogen gas takes place. The energy from the combustion drives the engine so as to provide mechanical energy.

Abstract: A method for pre-processing files that can improve file compression rates of existing general-purpose lossless file compression algorithms, particularly for files on which traditional algorithms perform poorly. The elementary cellular automata (CA) pre-processing technique involves finding an optimal CA state that can be used to transform an original file into a format (i.e., an intermediary file) that is more amenable to compression than the original file format. This technique is applicable to multiple file types and may be used to enhance multiple compression algorithms. Evaluation on generated files, as well as samples selected from online text repositories, finds that the CA pre-processing technique improves compression rates by up to 4% and shows promising results for assisting in compressing data that typically induce worst-case behavior in standard compression algorithms.

Abstract: A smart, human-centered technique that uses artificial intelligence and mixed reality to accelerate essential tasks of the inspectors such as defect measurement, condition assessment and data processing. For example, a bridge inspector can analyze some remote cracks located on a concrete pier, estimate their dimensional properties and perform condition assessment in real-time. The inspector can intervene in any step of the analysis/assessment and correct the operations of the artificial intelligence. Thereby, the inspector and the artificial intelligence will collaborate/communicate for improved visual inspection. This collective intelligence framework can be integrated in a mixed reality supported see-through headset or a hand-held device with the availability of sufficient hardware and sensors. Consequently, the methods reduce the inspection time and associated labor costs while ensuring reliable and objective infrastructure evaluation. Such methods offer contributions to infrastructure inspection, maintenance, management practice, and safety for the inspection personnel.

Abstract: A real-time traffic safety visualization and management system using traffic data, social media data, weather data, and other similar data enable proactive decisions for reducing the number of traffic incidents or mitigating their severity. The system utilizes predictive algorithms in a hybrid framework to diagnose real-time traffic safety conditions. Meanwhile, Pro-active Traffic Management (PATM) Strategies are provided by the system for the predicted high-risk locations. Moreover, through the visualization and management system, various countermeasures are considered and tested for decision makers, such that one or more of the most effective countermeasures are recommended within a given area to improve traffic safety thereof.

Abstract: A coupler array device may include an array of couplers arranged in a coupler plane, where each of the couplers couples light between the coupler plane and one or more directions outside of the coupler plane. A coupler array device may further include a pixel switch network to selectively couple light into or out of a selected subset of the plurality of couplers, where the pixel switch network may include one or more pixel-network waveguides and pixel-network switches to couple light between couplers and pixel-network waveguides. The coupler array device may further include one or more feed networks including a feed-line waveguide and one or more feed-network switches to couple light between the feed-line waveguide and at least some of the pixel-network waveguides. Light may be routable between selected couplers and selected feed-line waveguides along selected paths by controlling the pixel-network switches and the feed-network switches along the selected paths.

Abstract: Interaction of acoustic waves in a piezoelectric-semiconductor resonant cavity with the charge carriers in the semiconductor layer can be directed toward amplification of the acoustic waves; such amplification scheme can be applied in building unilateral amplifiers, zero loss filters, oscillators, high detection range circuit-less wireless sensors, isolators, duplexers, circulators and other acoustic devices. An apparatus for acoustoelectric amplification is described. The apparatus includes a semiconductor layer and a thin piezoelectric layer bonded (or deposited) onto the semiconductor layer forming an acoustic cavity. Two or more tethers forming a current conduction path through the semiconductor layer and two or more access pads to silicon are positioned on two ends of the acoustic cavity and configured to inject a DC current in the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: Methods for fabricating thermally stable reducible metal oxide catalyst support structures on a base material using a multi-step incipient wetness impregnation (IWI) process are disclosed. For example, reducible metal oxide catalyst support structures having high surface area and high thermal stability may be formed using a multi-step IWI process, where the support structure is generated through high-temperature calcination between IWI steps. The metal or metal oxide catalysts fabricated using the methods are also disclosed. The generation of engineered surface defects on reducible metal oxides using a gas reduction process to serve as anchoring sites for metal or metal oxide catalysts is also disclosed. Generating engineered defects through a gas reduction process may be a relatively low-cost and scalable process suitable for fabricating efficient catalysts using a wide range of materials.
