    Abstract: The apparatus for measuring performance of a suspension for cooling a computer processing unit is a measurement and testing tool allowing for the fabrication of new suspensions, and measuring and testing their short-term and long-term thermal performance in real time on any liquid-cooled computer processing unit. The suspension is prepared in a sample receiving reservoir and pumped across the unit, and then input to an air-cooled heat exchanger for recirculation back to the sample receiving reservoir. Temperatures of the working fluid are measured between the sample receiving reservoir and the computer processing unit, between the unit and the heat exchanger, and after output from the heat exchanger. Pressure differentials of the working fluid is measured across the computer processing unit and across the heat exchanger.

    Abstract: The device and method for measuring the effect of soiling on a photovoltaic device includes a device in which a photovoltaic device (reference solar cell, solar cells, PV module, etc.) may be shifted between partially and fully enclosed compartments in quick succession for measurements of the same device (1) when directly exposed to illumination or solar radiation; (2) when placed under a glass or transparent cover maintained cleared or cleaned of soil; and (3) when placed under glass or transparent cover left exposed to natural outdoor soiling, or attenuated using simulated soil that is not periodically cleaned. The measurements may be of short circuit current (Isc), maximum power (Pmax), or other electrical parameter conventionally used to evaluate performance of the photovoltaic device. A soiling ratio calculated as: SR Pmax = 1 - P max ⁢ ⁢ 2 - P max ⁢ ⁢ 3 P max ⁢ ⁢ 1 or calculated as: SR Isc = 1 - I sc ⁢ ⁢ 2 - I sc ⁢ ⁢ 3 I sc ⁢ ⁢ 1 may be used to compare or monitor performance of the photovoltaic device between measurement cycles.

    Abstract: The desalination system with mineral recovery is a system for desalinating water using spray drying, which allows for both the production of purified water and the recovery of mineral salts. The desalination system with mineral recovery is a two-stage system for zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) desalination of feed water. The feed water may be, for example, seawater, reverse osmosis (RO) brine (i.e., the waste brine from a RO process), nano-filtration (NF) reject, multistage flash (MSF) brine, or the like. The first stage receives the feed water and uses a spray drying process to produce concentrated brine and a first volume of purified water. The concentrated brine is fed to the second stage, which also uses a spray drying process to produce a second volume of purified water and a volume of recovered mineral salts.

    Abstract: A system for measuring glass transition temperature of a polymer can include a cell having a closed bottom and a peripheral wall extending from the bottom, a sample holder having a first supporting pin and a second supporting pin spaced apart from the first supporting pin, a loading probe in the cell for selectively contacting a polymer sample disposed on the sample holder, a temperature probe in the cell, a heater in the cell, a temperature sensor, a source of pressure, a source of gas in communication with the cell, and a data acquisition system operably connected to the loading probe, the temperature probe and the source of pressure. The first and second supporting pins and the loading probe in the cell provide a three-point flexural bending assembly for measuring bending of the polymer sample under varied conditions of temperature and pressure in the presence of a gas.

    Abstract: The gelling agent for water shut-off in oil and gas wells is a composition that forms a gel to reduce or eliminate the flow of water in a gas or oil well. The composition is formed by mixing polyvinyl alcohol, a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, or mixtures thereof with an amino-aldehyde oligomer, such as urea formaldehyde or melamine formaldehyde, with or without a cross-linker. The polymer composition can be used to minimize or completely shut off excess water production with insignificant reduction in hydrocarbon productivity.

    Abstract: A nano-coated polymeric antimicrobial film including a polymer and a metallic glassy powder coating on the polymer. The polymer includes a polymeric material selected from a virgin linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), a plastic solid waste (PSW), and a bio-based plastic. The metallic glassy powder is selected from the group consisting of Cu53.3Zr25.5Nb12.9Ni8.3, CuZn54Zr25Nb14Ni7, Cu48Ti17Ni28Zr5Ag2, and Cu85/SUS316L10/Ag5. The resulting nano-coated polymeric antimicrobial film has anti-microbial protective effects and may be applied to surfaces where anti-microbial activity is desired.

    Abstract: A system and method for using indoor vertical farming for cultivating tubers. The method and system include a wheeled framework with tiered platforms, the platforms forming multiple growing spaces for growing portions of a tuber crop and soil where the growing spaces are provided with irrigation and illumination. Each growing space has a paneled wheeled planter tray which rests on a platform and each portion of the tuber crop and soil can be extracted from each paneled wheeled planter tray by a lifting action to fall into a mesh covered container, used to separate the soil from the tuber crop.
