Abstract: Vortex Tubes and related methods of separating an airflow into a hot airflow and a cold airflow employ a secondary airflow inlet. A Vortex Tube includes a secondary airflow inlet that injects a swirling airflow aligned with a central region of the lumen of a circulating tube. The secondary airflow inlet includes a swirl generator that generates the vorticity of the swirling airflow. The injected swirling airflow increase the inner vortex strength thereby increasing the temperature difference between the hot airflow and the cold airflow.

Abstract: A device and method for absorbing electromagnetic waves can include a honeycomb sheet formed by a plurality of interconnected hexagon cells arranged in rows. The hexagon cells are made up of sidewalls, each sidewall formed by two surfaces that converge at a top of the sidewall and diverge from the top to a bottom of the sidewall such that a thickness of the sidewalls increases from top to bottom and an angle forms between the two surfaces at the top of the sidewall. In an example, the angle is about 8 degrees. The honeycomb sheet can be coated with a magnetic, composite coating to increase electromagnetic shielding. An example coating includes magnetic multi-granular nanoclusters (MGNC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). A base layer can be attached to the honeycomb sheet for mechanical stability and additional absorption. The device is suitable for radar absorbing materials (RAM) for aerospace and military applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to sustainable and green polylactic acid-based membranes embedded with self-assembled positively and negatively charged multiwalled carbon nanotube/graphene oxide nanohybrids for the removal of organic and inorganic nutrients from wastewater, and methods of synthesis of the same. A positively charged multi-walled carbon nanotube/graphene oxide (f-MWCNT/GO) nanohybrid-based mixed matrix membrane can comprise a self-assembled multi-walled carbon nanotube and graphene oxide (f-MWCNT/GO) nanohybrid, and a polylactic acid (PLA) membrane matrix. The f-MWCNT/GO nanohybrid is integrated into the PLA membrane matrix to form the positively charged mixed matrix membrane. A negatively charged multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-GO/MWCNTs-COOH) nanohybrid-based mixed matrix membrane can comprise a positively charged Graphene Oxide and negatively charged multi-walled carbon nanotube-COOH (f-GO/MWCNTs-COOH) nanohybrid, and a polylactic acid (PLA) membrane matrix. The f-GO/MWCNTs-COOH nanohybrid is integrated into the PLA membrane matrix to form the negatively charged mixed matrix membrane.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for determining whether a reference point in a location system has changed used measurement residuals determined from an exchange of messages between reference points. In one embodiment a method of determining whether the location of a first one of a plurality of reference points used in a location system has changed is provided. The reference points each have a known initial position and the method includes the steps of: sending a wireless message between a second reference point and the first reference point and recording the times of sending and receipt of the wireless message; estimating, from the recorded times, an estimated distance between the first reference point and the second reference point; comparing the estimated distance to the actual distance between the known initial positions of the first and second reference points to determine a measurement residual; and determining, using the measurement residual, whether the location of the first reference point has changed.

Abstract: The integration of renewable energy resources and employment of multi-terminal dc links have dramatically transformed the structure of traditional power systems into hybrid networks with reduced inertia levels. A novel approach is proposed for determining bus inertia that captures power system dynamics and facilitates the real-time computation of grid flexibility. The bus inertia is defined as the distribution of the total inertia across all of the system buses, located in different geographical regions. The computation of bus inertia can use augmented admittance matrix, bus voltages, line parameters, inertia constants, and internal voltage setpoints of synchronous machines. The determination of bus inertia can be used during planning and operation phases that span long and short-time horizons to enhance system flexibility.
