Robust Self-Regeneratable Stiff Living Materials

INV-20116 Background Most biomaterials (e.g. wood, silk) found in nature are formed at ambient conditions and degrade naturally to enable a sustainable ecosystem. In contrast, the production of human-made materials (e.g. cement, plastics) requires high temperatures or harsh chemical treatments, while their non-biodegradability unfavorably affects...

Non-noble Metal Based ODC Cathodes for Chlorine Evolution Processes

INV-13048 Background Use of “depolarizers” in electrolytic reactions helps lower input electrical energy in electrochemical processes. For example, in batteries depolarizers help prevent buildup of hydrogen gas bubbles thereby preventing the voltage, and thereby current, from being reduced. Among the known depolarizers, including sulfur...

A Versatile Self-Sustaining Method and Device for Fuel/Power Generation by Sequential Gasification and "Clean Combustion" of Waste Products

Method and device for fuel and power generation by clean combustion of organic waste materials. Institute Reference: INV-1108 Background Fossil fuel resources are finite, and are widely expected to dwindle in the not too distant future. As these resources become more scarce, the costs of extracting fuel have been on the rise and it has become more...

Sealable Microvalve That Can Be Repeatedly Opened and Sealed

ink;color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline; } INV-1243 Background The typical structure for a MEMS microvalve includes an orifice and a moveable plate that can be actuated to press against the orifice. When the plate does not press against the orifice, fluid can flow through the orifice and therefore through the valve. When the plate is pressed...
