Technical Description The technology discloses a semi-circular breakwater system with integrated oscillating water columns (OWCs) for coastal protection and wave-energy conversion. Prefabricated reinforced-concrete units are mounted on the seabed, while incoming waves create oscillating airflow inside the OWC chamber. A…
Technical Description The technology discloses a system and method for balancing capacitor voltages in inverters and capacitor banks. It detects imbalance from capacitor voltages and output-current polarity, then transfers charge through a chopper inductor. A triangular carrier controls switching frequency…
Technical Description This invention discloses a compact reading aid uses two servo-driven L-shaped assemblies to lift, turn and clamp book pages in either direction. Adjustable links accommodate different book sizes, while foot, voice or blow-switch actuation supports readers with limited…
Technical Description The technology discloses a predictive control framework for two-stage EV fast chargers with a three-phase AC-DC front end and DC-DC buck stage. It combines Lagrange extrapolation, modified-Euler prediction and an efficiency-based DC-link reference to reduce switching and battery…
Technical Description A composite inductive loop sensor system for vehicle detection on lane-disciplined and no-lane-disciplined roads. Multiple composite loops and detection mean use relative inductance changes, timing and signal sequence to identify vehicle type, direction, speed and number. Problems Addressed…
Technical Description This technology discloses a motor-driven homogenizing device for mixing septic tank sludge with different viscosities and a piercing member and two concentrically mounted blade sets rake, disperse and uniformly mix liquid and deposited solid or semi-solid sludge. Problems…
Technical Description A one-pot method for synthesizing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from monosaccharides, disaccharides or oligosaccharides. It combines amine-promoted isomerization, Amadori rearrangement and subsequent dehydration under mild conditions. Problems Addressed Inefficient conversion of glucose to HMF Limited selectivity in existing methods Need…
Technical Description The invention is a directionally independent floating wave energy system using a circumferential matrix of hinged, bean-shaped floats around an anchored buoy to convert multi-directional heave motion into electricity. Problems Addressed Unpredictable Wave Directions Non-Continuous Energy Sources Severe…
Technical Description The invention is a hybrid robotic arm-support using a single actuator and a 6-DOF kinematic chain to provide adaptive gravity compensation during upper-limb neurorehabilitation. Problems Addressed Costly Multi-Actuator Designs Fixed Passive Weight Limits Bulky Non-Portable Linkages Long Calibration/Setup…
Technical Description The invention is an HVAC-integrated photocatalytic air purifier that passes air through a sandwich-style light and composite-coated pleated filter to oxidize gas pollutants and VOCs. Problems Addressed Filter Gas-Trapping Limits High Tio2 Electron Recombination Poor Coating Stability Hazardous…
