Abstract: A controller, process, and apparatus can be configured to provide backup electrical power to various equipment used in hydrogen and/or ammonia production in response to a loss of power condition being detected. The loss of power can be due to unavailable power from renewable sources (e.g. cloudy day, non-windy conditions) or due to other power transmission problems. The backup electrical power can be provided in a way that can reduce the carbon intensity associated with the providing of the backup power. The backup power can also be provided to help avoid degradation of equipment that can occur from sudden losses of electrical power. In some embodiments, hydrogen powered turbines, hydrogen fuel cells, biofuel generators, and/or hydrogen powered engines can be utilized for providing the backup power.

Abstract: In some examples, a system derives a first representation of an assembly of components based on a first source of information, and derives a second representation of the assembly of components based on a second source of information that is of a different type than the first source of information, where the second representation includes any or a combination of an indication of a source of a respective component of the assembly of components, or placement location information of a component in the assembly. The system compares the first representation to the second representation to identify a deviation between the first representation and the second representation, the deviation corresponding to an alteration of the assembly of components.

Abstract: A method for producing an ultrasonic transducer or ultrasonic transducer array, the method comprising providing or depositing a layer of piezoelectric material on a substrate. The piezoelectric material is a doped, co-deposited or alloyed piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material comprises: a doped, co-deposited or alloyed metal oxide or metal nitride, the metal oxide or metal nitride being doped, co-deposited or alloyed with vanadium or a compound thereof; or zinc oxide doped, co-deposited or alloyed with a transition metal or a compound thereof. Optionally, the deposition of the layer of piezoelectric material is by sputter coating, e.g. using a sputtering target that comprises a doped or alloyed piezoelectric material. In examples, the layer of piezoelectric material is deposited onto the substrate using high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS). Further enhancement may be obtained using substrate biasing (e.g. DC and/or RF) during deposition of the layer of piezoelectric material.
