Abstract: Provided in this disclosure is an electrolysis system using voltage in a purely physical process, without resorting to passing current through an electrolyte in a chemical process. The present invention includes a tri-coil design resonant cavity transformer that utilizes the dielectric properties of a material acting as part of a “closed loop” electrical (Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor) RLC circuit. The tri-coil transformer (or TCT) is tuned to the dielectric properties of a suitable material, which can be water, liquid metals, or even ambient air. The TCT can be a tri-coil resonating cavity transformer employing either a Maxwell or Helmholtz tri-coil design. The present invention entails a physical approach to electrolysis based on voltage and not amperage to dissociate a selected dielectric medium, an approach that is 180 degrees out of phase from traditional Faraday electrolysis.

Abstract: Live objects in heap memory exceeding a threshold size and that have not been recently accessed are compressed or offloaded to secondary memory or storage. Compressing or offloading an object can further be based on how old the object is, which can be determined based on how many garbage collections the object has survived. Objects comprising references to other objects can be split into two sub-objects, one containing value fields that is compressed or offloaded and one containing reference fields that remains uncompressed in heap memory. Heap memory can undergo compaction after objects are compressed or offloaded. Compression accelerators can be used for compression and the decision of whether to compress or offload an object can be based on accelerator throughput, latency, availability, as well as other computing system metrics or characteristics. The compressing and offloading of objects and subsequent compaction can make more heap memory available for object allocation.

Abstract: An oscillator including a tuned resonating cavity uses an alternating electrostatic unipolar burst of voltage to oscillate water molecules into a superheated state. Particle displacement is achieved by opposite electrical charge potentials as the electromotive force mover upon water molecules. These short oscillations cause elastic and inelastic particle impacting of the bipolar water molecules. The oscillator of the present invention is implemented with a dual-switching transformer which is tuned to resonate with water. Electrodes are formed of an electro-conductive material submerged in/or around the water. Resonant metallic capacitive vessels are made in various shapes and sizes to reach determined thermal radiating electromagnetic levels as they are progressively oscillated during operations.
