The PowerDigm solid-state transfer switch is being installed at Ford Motor Co.'s Sheldon Road Plant to protect against costly power interruptions. The switch can sense disturbances in one power source and automatically switch to a different source, improving reliability and reducing outages.
The new technology uses upconversion to create visible light when struck by infrared laser beams, allowing for true three-dimensional color images. The implications are vast, with potential applications in medicine, air traffic control, and engineering.
Researchers at Virginia Tech have developed compounds that reduce wear and friction for ceramics and steel, saving up to 99% of wear and 40-50% of friction. The technology has been licensed for further development by Triad Investors Corp.
A licensing agreement between Michigan Technological University and Mineral Resource Technologies aims to commercialize the recovery and processing of fly ash. The technology separates out carbon, iron oxide, and cenophores from the high-carbon byproduct, enabling its use as a replacement for cement and filler for various products.
Researchers successfully demonstrated a novel cleanup technology that efficiently destroys various organic contaminants, including benzene and perchloroethylene, using nonthermal plasma. The technology achieved destruction fractions of up to 99.9 percent, with potential commercial applications for treating legacy waste problems.
