The invention aims to reduce the cost, weight and volume of existing on-board electric vehicle chargers by integrating power electronic converters of the chargers with the traction inverter.

New demands in electric vehicles have resulted in design changes for the power electronic components such as the capacitor to incur lower volume, higher operating temperatures, and dielectric properties (high dielectric permittivity and high electrical breakdown strengths).

A new, simpler power module and manifold design shows lower weight and volume, which allows higher power density compared with current state of the art.

Wind or hydro power are predominantly large-scale with giant generators to convert wind or water captured by turbines into electricity. But residential-sized wind turbines could generate power for a whole house.

There is a strong drive to improve the electrical performance of a power module for power electronics applications including transportation, buildings, renewables, and power delivery.

A quantum communication system enabling two-mode squeezing distribution over standard fiber optic networks for enhanced data security.

An ultrabroadband, polarization-entangled photon source for C+L-band quantum networks, enabling adaptive, high-fidelity entanglement distribution.

Wireless charging systems need to operate at high frequency, at or near resonance, to maximize power transfer distance and efficiency. High voltages appear across the inductors and capacitors. The use of discrete components reduces efficiency, increases system complexity.

Technologies directed quantum spectroscopy and imaging with Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering are described.
