An apparatus, method and software for the detection of ammonia gas in an internal combustion engine environment using optical fiber based evanescent light absorption is described.
The disclosed invention takes advantage of synergies resulting from the strengths of two very different thermal storage technologies: the first is hot/cold storage using phase change materials such as the water-ice transition or the liquid water to water vapor transition with
The WPT EVSE tool verifies that the receiver tuning drift does not cause any substantial increase in no load current that is detected by the portable receiver coil as an open circuit voltage (i.e., the receiver load is a very high value resistance).
The most pressing issues facing wireless power transfer (WPT) charging of PEV’s are these: Interoperability; Safety and emissions; and Bidirectional communications.
This disclosure covers two separate concepts that are, and will be, investigated for the purpose of mitigating the effects of high frequency induced parasitic losses in conductive materials.
Surface modification plays a key role in the electrochemical performance of lithium ion battery materials.
The invention takes a natural graphite and subjects it to a heat-treatment protocol that must include exposure to forming gas.
Lithium-ion battery packs in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and fully electric vehicles (EVs) in the near term will contain carbon-based active materials in the anode.
Manufacturers of solar cells have had significant difficulty scaling up various processes, i.e., reproducing the performance that they have achieved in the laboratory on a manufacturing/production scale.
Current battery technologies including state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries are not sufficient to meet the needs of using electrical energy efficiently in transportation and residential applications, and new electrochemical cell chemistries and designs are needed for
