Electrochemical system for CO2 reduction, hydrogen gas production, and treatment of ammonia wasteBackground Many industries, water and wastewater treatment plants, farmers, etc., produce large amounts of ammonia as a waste product. The most common approach to treat N-waste in wastewater treatment is to convert ammonium (NH4+) to nitrogen gas (N2) using such techniques as biological treatment, wet oxidation, and breakpoint chlorination. In particular, ammonia by-product of anaerobic digestion of nitrogenous organic wastes and wastewater can be converted to ammonium sulphate via reaction with sulphuric acid, which can be used as a source of fertilizer. However high sulphur content fertilizers can have harmful environmental effects (eg. soil acidification) which are restricted in many municipalities. Using nitric acid instead to produce an ammonium nitrate salt fertilizer product is a viable alternative however the price of nitric acid is 3-4 times higher than that of sulphuric acid and thus is not economically feasible.

Electrokinetic device and procedure for consolidation of porous materialsThe pores in the porous materials used in construction play an important role in the load-bearing capacity of a material because the higher porosity of a material usually generates a decrease in their mechanical properties. Furthermore, the porosity plays an important role in the durability of the materials, particularly the accessible porosity, because through these pores the alteration agents such as water and soluble salts can enter into a material. For many years there are several commercial consolidants that try to increase the cohesion between the mineral grains presented in the porous structures that are altered, trying to fill the pores presented within the material and in consequence trying to reduce the accesible porosity. However, these

Electronic payment system by presenceThe technology developed by the researchers consists of an automated payment system, in which neither the user nor the collector needs to intervene. The transaction occurs only through the physical presence of the user at the site. The system is based on the use of an APP installed on mobile devices and the sensorization of the control area to detect the presence of users. This system can be very useful for transactions that are carried out periodically or in places where congregate a large agglomeration of people and it is necessary to speed up the payment process.

Electrospinning system for large-scale manufacturing of aligned 3D fiber matricesContinuous electrospinning system and process for production of thick 3D matrices of aligned polymeric fibers. The matrices obtained with this technology can have aligned polymeric fibers with several patterns along the matrix’s thickness, which size depends solely on the number of layers of deposited fibers, on the fibers thickness and the compaction degree between layers. In this way, the present technology can be applied in varied areas, for the manufacture of products or structures, at the nanometric scale, that depend on high surface areas, such as biotechnology, pharmaceutics and tissue engineering.

Elimination of blade tip vortices of aircraft propellersTECHNOLOGY/PRODUCT OVERVIEW Blade tip vortex is a powerful phenomenon that develops very quickly. However, ‘widening’ the blade tips increases the possibility of greater power and performance, at the same time, the vortex losses generated at the blade tips increase drastically. The solution currently used to reduce the vortices of the blade tips is reducing the angle of attack close to the blade tip. This is how it tries to avoid significant losses. At the same time, naturally, the drag force or the transmittable power decreases. Eliminating or reducing blade tip losses (eliminating vortices around the blade tip) means significant fuel savings and increased lifespan, efficiency, and performance especially when using wide blade tips. The elimination of blade tip loss reduces vibrations, thus reducing internal friction of the structure’s material, thereby increasing lifespan. This results in significant financial savings, e.g. in the case of a modern blade. Due to centrifugal force, the “winglet” used on wings moving in a linear direction cannot be used in the case of a rotating system.

Embedded System for Developing Real TIme Applications (SEDATIR)SEDATIR lets us monitor a real-time application to get a better throughput because the tasks do not include any additional code (library) and the monitoring is done when the routines of the operating system are executed. SEDATIR shows graphically a temporal evolution of the different tasks when they are running on the external platform (see Additional information paragraph). By means of this graphic the user can see the state (run, wait, ready, idle, inside of a critical section) in which each of the tasks is in a specific instant of time. SEDATIR adds a real-time operating system to the application developed by the user. private researcher posted this:

Endocytosis routing sequence peptide for cell delivery systemsA range of cell delivery systems are crafted for intracellular delivery such as cationic lipids, protein transduction agents or cell-penetrating peptides. Despite of the large number of techniques, transport of macromolecules are rare and only a small portion of these systems are capable of transporting proteins and only very few of them are delivering antibodies. Possible ways for macromolecular translocation is through endocytosis. In some existing applications there are cell-penetrating peptides with a residue number of about 20 amino acids and these molecules are triggering the clathrin-dependent endocytosis. In the recent patent a short WYKYW pentapeptide is applied to deliver relatively large cargo (antibodies, for example) inside the cell via lipid-raft/caveolin-dependent manner through binding to ganglioside GM1.

Energy harvesting and storage feedback cellThe present invention discloses a device that consists of a kinetic energy harvest and electrical energy storage feedback cell. The cell combines a 2-dimensional superconductor whose performance is induced by a ferroelectric-metal with a quantum Hall Effect placed within two conductor/semiconductor materials with different chemical potentials. In this invention, the alignment of the chemical potentials of material/ferroelectric/material happens by spontaneously forming Electrical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs). The feedback (which corresponds to external and internal conduction and tunnelling of the electrons in the cell) allows the electrical potential difference to increase during discharge of the cell with a load. The feedback cell harvests kinetic energy and heat. Besides it stores electrostatic and electrochemical energy whose supercurrent can be induced during several years in the feedback, at room temperature.
