Incorporation of AC component into the current improving the total efficiency, reducing electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
Background Aluminum smelting is a highly
energy
-dependent process which consumes vast amounts of electrical energy, between 2-3% of worldwide electrical usage. Energy costs of aluminum smelting make up around 25% of manufacturing costs to produce primary aluminum (as opposed to recycled). Resistive loss during smelting is the primary source of...

Stepped Light Guides
Brief Description:The intection prisms of a right angle light guide are positioned in a stepped two-dimensional array, such that they will not obstruct or divert any light already traveling down the light guide.Applications:For a high efficiency wave guide for either collecting light incident on one face and transmitting it to one edge, or alternatively...

Transfer (TET) Device
Applications: A ventricular assist device (VAD) is an auxiliary blood circulation pump. It is implanted to assist the left, right or both ventricles to enhance circulation. The power source is worn externally by the patient with a cable going through the skin. The opening in the skin becomes a portal for serious infection which may also travel...
