    摘要: An optical communication system is provided that includes a first node and a second node. Each node of the first node and the second node includes transmit optics, receive optics. Each node also includes an optical transceiver module configured to provide optical signals to the transmit optics over a first optical conduit, and receive optical signals from the receive optics over a second optical conduit that has a core diameter larger than the first optical conduit. The transmit optics of the first node is configured to transmit first optical signals in free space for receipt by the receive optics of the second node, and the transmit optics of the second node is configured to transmit the second optical signals in free space for receipt by the receive optics of the first node.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods wherein power production can be achieved with combustion of a fuel utilizing flameless combustion. A fuel may be combusted in a combustor/turbine in a substantially flameless operation to produce a combustion product stream that can be expanded for power generation. After expansion, the output stream can be treated to generate a recycle CO2 stream into which an oxidant can be input. The recycle CO2 stream including the oxidant can be injected into the combustor/turbine to effect combustion in a substantially flameless state. Various control schemes can be implemented to automatically control the concentration of oxygen present in the recycle CO2 stream that is injected into the combustor/turbine in order to achieve and/or maintain substantially flameless combustion.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems and methods useful in capture of one more moieties (e.g., carbon dioxide) from a gas stream (i.e., direct air capture). In various embodiments, the systems and methods can utilize at least a scrubbing unit, a regeneration unit, and an electrolysis unit whereby an alkali solution can be used to strip the moiety (e.g., carbon dioxide) from the gas stream, the removed moiety can be regenerated and optionally purified for capture or other use, and a formed salt can be subjected to electrolysis to recycle the alkali solution back to the scrubber for re-use with simultaneous production of one or more further chemicals.
