Abstract: Systems and methods for the control and operation of a grid-connected converter with an energy storage system are provided. The system can include a small microgrid comprising an AC grid that is feeding a DC load through a converter. The converter is connected to the AC grid through an R-L filter. The classical linear controllers have limitations due to their slow transient performance and low robustness against parameter variations and load disturbances. In certain embodiments, the transient and steady state responses of the provided artificial intelligence based Robust Artificial Neural Network Tracking Control (RANNTC) of three-phase grid-connected power converters has been shown to be more enhanced in terms of overshoot (24% lower), settling time (85% reduced), and total harmonic distortion (THD) (55% lower).

Abstract: A process includes means for depositing an anti-corrosion coating filled with liquid oil on an aluminum substrate. Aluminum is anodized and then treated with a thin hydrophobic sub-coating. The pores created through anodization are then impregnated with liquid oil. Oil penetration is maximized and residual air is minimized by first filling the pores with a filling solution, replacing the filling solution with an exchange fluid, and then replacing the exchange fluid with perfluorinated oil. The oil gives the surface coating anti-wetting properties and self-healing properties, thereby protecting the aluminum substrate underneath from corrosion.

Abstract: Synthetic enzymatic cascades are provided that continuously produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from a variety of fuel sources. The cascades are prepared by expressing one or more NADH-dependent dehydrogenases, polyphosphate NAD+ kinases (PPNK), NADPH oxidases, and particular reversible ATP-NAD+ kinases (NADK). The NADH-dependent dehydrogenases oxidize fuel sources such as formate and methanol while converting NAD+ to NADH. The PPNKs convert the NADH to NADPH. The NADPH oxidases convert NADPH to NADP+. The NADKs then convert the NADP+ to NAD+ while also facilitating conversion of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to ATP. Human NADK exhibits high affinity for NAD+ and is thus impeded in the generation of ATP products via product inhibition. Thus, pigeon, duck, and cat NADK isoforms are implemented in the cascade instead. The cascades generate a low-cost, continuous source ATP product for use in numerous in vitro applications such as cell-free protein production.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting a target analyte in a sample includes a pair of conducting electrodes that are separated by a gap. An insulator is disposed in the gap between the electrodes. Plural wells are defined by one of the electrodes and the insulator, to expose the other of the electrodes. The wells are configured to receive a sample including a target analyte. The target analyte, when present in the sample received in the wells, modulates an impedance between the electrodes. The modulated impedance, which is measurable with an applied electrical voltage, is indicative of the concentration of the target analyte in the sample. The wells can include antibodies immobilized inside the wells, to bind the target analyte, which can be a cytokine. Also provided are a method for label-free sensing of a target analyte in a sample, and a transcutaneous impedance sensor for label-free, in-situ biomarker detection.
