Misalignment issues of the PWPT system have been addressed. The intercell power transformer has been introduced in order to improve load sharing of the system during a mismatch of the primary single-phase coil and the secondary multi-phase coils.

Induction cooktops are becoming popular; however, a limitation is that compatible cookware is required.  This is a significant barrier to its adoption. 

The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has necessitated significant advancements in EV charging technologies to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

The growing demand for renewable energy sources has propelled the development of advanced power conversion systems, particularly in applications involving fuel cells.

This technology can help to increase number of application areas of Wireless Power Transfer systems. It can be applied to consumer electronics, defense industry, automotive industry etc.

The technologies provide additively manufactured thermal protection system.

Wind turbine blades face a harsh environment in which erosion of the leading edge is a major factor for in-use maintenance. Current industrial practices to address this leading edge erosion are replacement of reinforcing materials upon significant damage infliction.

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.

Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.
