Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a laminate preform. The laminate preform includes a first glass ply having a first major surface and a second major surface. The second major surface is opposite to the first major surface. A thickness of the first glass ply is defined between the first major surface and the second major surface. The thickness is 2 mm or less. The laminate preform also includes an adhesive region having a third major surface and a fourth major surface. The third major surface is disposed on the second major surface of the first glass ply. The third major surface of the adhesive region includes at least a portion of area not bonded to the second major surface so that air can flow between the third major surface and the second major surface.

Abstract: An efficient, cost-effective, and efficacious technique for removing coal ash and other pollutants from waterways, ponds, marshes, holding tanks and other water sources and supplies. An apparatus comprising an open cage including electromagnets and/or permanent magnets and/or electrodes is supplied with electrical power to extract materials such as rare earth elements and/or heavy metals. The materials levitate to the surface, forming a slurry while leaving water substantially free of such materials. Rare earth magnets electrically connect electrolysis electrode structures and serve as electrolysis electrode segments.

Abstract: Control of low pressure recoup air in a gas turbine engine disposed in a gas turbine enclosure with low pressure recoup air piping coupled to a gas turbine combustion exhaust and gas turbine engine enclosure is disclosed. A first valve of the piping controls a flow of the recoup air to the gas turbine combustion exhaust. A second valve of the piping diverts the recoup air to the enclosure for eventual flow to the air intake. A controller controls the flow of the recoup air from the piping to the exhaust and/or the enclosure as a function of ambient and air intake temperature measurements, and a predetermined temperature requirement having an ambient temperature constraint and an air intake temperature differential constraint.
