Abstract: A system is provided for carbon dioxide (CO2) emission recovery. The system includes a methanization reactor. The methanization reactor is configured to receive CO2 separated from one or more off gases of a brake manufacturing process, receive hydrogen (H2) produced from an electrolysis process, convert the CO2 and the H2 via methanization reaction to produce methane (CH4), and supply the produced CH4 to at least one of a carbon/carbon (C/C) preform production process or another system for heat generation.

Abstract: A system for carbon dioxide emission recovery is disclosed herein. The system includes a reformer configured to convert an input into hydrogen and carbon monoxide and a methanization reactor coupled to the reformer. The methanization reactor is configured to receive carbon dioxide from one or more off gases of a carbon/carbon (C/C) preform production process, receive the hydrogen and the carbon monoxide from the reformer, convert the hydrogen, the carbon monoxide, and the carbon dioxide via methanization to produce methane, and supply the produced methane to at least one of the C/C preform production process or another system for heat generation.

Abstract: One example provides a control console for a personal watercraft, the console including a console housing. The console housing includes a lower shroud to couple to a handlebar of a steering assembly of the personal watercraft, and an upper shroud to couple to the lower shroud, the console housing to be disposed between opposing grip ends of the handlebar. A display device is mounted to the console housing and being externally visible, the display device to display information, including operational information of the personal watercraft.

Abstract: A chuck for heating and clamping a workpiece, such as a semiconductor workpiece, is disclosed. The chuck is configured to allow the workpiece to be heated to temperatures in excess of 600° C. Further, while the workpiece is heating, the components that make up the chuck may be maintained at a much lower temperature, such as room temperature. The chuck includes a housing, formed as a hollow cylinder with sidewalls and an open end. Electrodes are disposed at the top surface of the sidewalls to clamp the workpiece. A heat source is disposed in the cavity and emits radiated heat toward the workpiece. A clamp ring may be used to secure the workpiece. In some embodiments, a thermal sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the workpiece.

Abstract: An ion implanter to facilitate channeling of an ion beam into a crystalline structure of a workpiece is disclosed. The ion implanter comprises an ion source to generate an ion beam, a platen to support the workpiece having the crystalline structure, an Xray source to generate an Xray beam, wherein at least a portion of the Xray beam impacts the workpiece to produce diffracted Xrays, an Xray detector positioned to receive the diffracted Xrays, and a controller, in communication with the Xray source, the platen, and the Xray detector. The controller contains instructions, which enable the ion implanter to perform a rocking curve test after the workpiece is disposed on the platen and calculate an orientation of the platen for an ion implant process based on a result of the rocking curve test to facilitate channeling of the ion beam into the crystalline structure of the workpiece.

Abstract: An electric vehicle including an electric motor and a battery system to provide electrical power to the electric motor. A first input device, when actuated, provides a first input representing a command to propel the electric vehicle. A second input device, when actuated, provides a second input for initiating a boost operating mode. A controller is operative to control a permitted rate of change of a selected operating parameter of the electric motor. The controller, in a normal operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a first rate of change for the selected operating parameter in response to the first input, and in a boost operating mode, operates the electric motor according to a second rate of change, greater than the first, for the selected operating parameter for a limited period of time in response to the first input.
