    摘要: A low-noise current sensor enables large dynamic range current measurements of alternating and direct current flows. The current sensor includes a first substrate, a first conductor, a magnetic flux conductor comprising a first portion orthogonal to the first conductor and a second portion, the second portion penetrating the first substrate, an inductive sensor comprising a first plurality of loops around the second portion of the magnetic flux conductor on the first substrate, wherein the first plurality of loops is orthogonal to the second portion of the magnetic flux conductor, and a Faraday cage that encloses the first plurality of loops and separates the first plurality of loops from the first conductor.

    摘要: A low-noise alternating current sensor enables low-cost, large dynamic range current measurements of low-frequency alternating current flows. The low-noise current sensor offers enhanced dynamic range and fine-grained sensitivity unavailable in existing sensor technology. The sensor's dynamic range and sensitivity to low-frequency AC enable new capabilities in precision current control: a valuable and necessary capability in the control and management of circuit considerations, from applications for the grid to transportation, to the control of remote assets.

    摘要: A system has conveyance segments arranged in series. Each segment has an infrared emitter directed towards a material bearing surface, and outlets of the segments are above inlets of subsequent segments. The segments are coupled to vibrators which are configured to convey a material from the inlet end to the outlet end of the segments. A system of this disclosure can be used to create lime or clinker with a substantial increase in efficiency, and without emitting any carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

    摘要: A means to exploit the Dean Vortices for dynamic filtering on a macro scale intended for application in utility and industrial processes is disclosed. This method relies on an apparatus of computed construction to optimize the centripetal force and minimize the effect of gravity on the separation and effectiveness of the Dean Vortices. The method is also supported by an apparatus of construction which results in an optimized elliptical flow channel that enhances the formation and persistence of the Dean Vortices.

    摘要: A method for non-combustive gasification of a hydrocarbon material includes introducing a mass of hydrocarbon material into a chamber, wherein a transmissive wall of the chamber has a pass band in the infrared frequency spectrum, removing air from the chamber; heating the hydrocarbon material within the chamber by radiating, from an infrared emitter, infrared radiation at a frequency corresponding to the pass band to convert at least one component of the hydrocarbon material to a gas, and turning the hydrocarbon material within the chamber to expose inner material to the infrared radiation.
