Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to methods and apparatuses for generating ice. In one embodiment, at a generation location, a material is introduced to water, and the temperature of the combination of the water and the material is lowered until ice forms; then at a target location, the formed ice is deployed on a top surface of a body of water, or of a pre-existing body of ice, or of ground. The formed ice has an albedo greater than or equal to 0.15. The formed ice contains light scattering centers created by the introduced material. The material comprises hollow particles.

Abstract: A control valve for a fluidic system is disclosed. The control valve comprises a housing and a flow control membrane is disclosed. The flow control membrane is anchored within the housing to form a reference chamber on a first side of the membrane and a fluid flow channel on a second opposing side of the membrane. The fluid flow channel selectively opens and closes to permit fluid to flow from the inlet to the outlet, and the membrane is configured to control flow through the channel from the inlet to the outlet by deflecting in response to pressure differentials of the reference chamber pressure and the fluid flow channel pressure acting across the membrane.

Abstract: An IOP control valve is disclosed. The IOP control valve comprises a corrugated membrane and a housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The corrugated membrane is anchored within the housing to form a reference chamber on a first side of the corrugated membrane and a fluid flow channel on a second opposing side of the membrane. The reference chamber has a reference chamber pressure representative of atmospheric pressure. The fluid flow channel can selectively increase and decrease in size to permit fluid to flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The corrugated membrane is configured to affect flow through the fluid flow channel from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet by deflecting in response to pressure differentials of the reference chamber pressure and the fluid flow channel pressure acting on the opposing sides of the corrugated membrane.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating composite ice includes a water inlet system that receives water; a water treatment that operates on water delivered from the water inlet system, to provide treated water; a cooling system that operates on the treated water to generate ice; and an ice delivery system that outputs the generated ice. The water treatment system introduces a material that includes hollow particles to the water delivered from the water inlet system, the material being selected such that the generated ice, including light scattering centers created by the presence of the material, has an albedo greater than 0.15.

Abstract: A method for modifying environmental conditions comprises deploying a material having an albedo of at least 0.15 over a surface of a body of water associated with a man-made structure. The deployed material increases an albedo of the surface, increases an evaporation rate at the surface for a given temperature, and decreases a temperature characterizing the man-made structure.

Abstract: An ink jet print head with a substrate defining an ink aperture. A number of ink energizing elements are located on the major surface of the substrate. A barrier layer is connected to the upper surface, and peripherally encloses an ink manifold. The barrier encompasses the ink aperture. An orifice plate is connected to the barrier layer, spaced apart from the substrate's major surface, enclosing the ink manifold. The plate defines a number of orifices, each associated with a respective ink energizing element. The ink manifold is an elongated chamber having opposed ends defined by end wall portions of the barrier layer. The barrier end wall portions each have an intermediate end wall portion protruding into the manifold. Columnar structures placed at predetermined locations, including locations at the end of the ink aperture, and extending from the major surface to the orifice plate control the migration of coalescing bubbles.

Abstract: A flow channel suitable for use with a peristaltic pump comprises: an upper wall having a bowed upward shape; a lower wall having one of a bowed downward shape and a flat shape; and one or more spacers between the upper wall and the lower wall disposed between lateral edges of the upper and lower walls, each spacer having a height. The upper wall, lower wall, and the one or more spacers define a lumen. When the upper wall is compressed toward the lower wall by compressing members, the one or more spacers limit vertical movement of the compressing members such that the lumen is maintained in an under-occluded condition. In some cases, the bowing of one of the upper and lower walls has a recurved shape.

Abstract: A method for cooling the temperature of a body of water having a top surface exposed to sunlight comprises distributing balls such that they lie on, and in direct contact with, at least part of the top surface, the at least part of the top surface characterized prior to the distribution by a pre-distribution surface area; The balls have diameters within a range of 100 microns to 3 mm, and albedos within a range of 0.15 to 1.0. The surfaces of the balls are hydrophilic, such that after the distribution a total wetted surface area greater than the pre-distribution surface area of the water is provided, facilitating the cooling. In one embodiment, the body of water is a natural or unnatural lake or bay.

Abstract: A polymeric optical switch in which a switching channel is formed in a polymer layer. The channel is formed by a micro-machining technique such as laser ablation or photo-imaging. A liquid metal switch is contained within the switching channel. The liquid metal switch operates by blocking or unblocking the optical path through the switching channel using a volume of liquid metal. Contact pads within the switching channel are wettable by the liquid metal and provide a latching mechanism for the switch. The polymer layer may be located between two transparent switch substrates. Solder rings are attached to the perimeters of the transparent switch substrates. The solder rings are wettable by solder and facilitate the creation of a hermetic seal between the substrates. Optical connectors allow optical signals to be coupled through the transparent layers and the switching channel.
