  • Publication number: 20220010816
    Abstract: A marine hydraulic system and method of use for reducing cyclic loading of the pump(s) and motor(s) and an amount of accumulator storage required in a hydraulic system. A closed loop logic controller comprising at least one control algorithm for each pump/motor pair utilized in a single hydraulic system is utilized to reduce load fluctuations on the motors, allow the use of common pressure compensated, variable displacement (VDH) pumps, reduce the number and/or volume of system accumulators and equalize wear throughout the system.

  • Patent number: 10914800
    Abstract: Technologies relating to a magnetic resonance spectrometer are disclosed. The magnetic resonance spectrometer may include a doped nanostructured crystal. By nanostructuring the surface of the crystal, the sensor-sample contact area of the crystal can be increased. As a result of the increased sensor-sample contact area, the output fluorescence signal emitted from the crystal is also increased, with corresponding reductions in measurement acquisition time and requisite sample volumes.

  • Patent number: 10875766
    Abstract: Technologies related to parallel characterization of individual MNPs are disclosed. A diamond chip with MNPs distributed thereon may be used with an epifluorescence microscope and camera to generate multiple different images of multiple individual MNPs. The multiple images are recorded at different microwave frequencies and under different external magnetic field strengths. The multiple images are then used to determine properties of the multiple individual MNPs.

  • Publication number: 20050166678
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for determining the fatigue resistance of metallic materials at ultrasonic frequencies and a constant temperature. The inventive method can be used to examine materials subjected to bending and traction/compression stresses at different temperatures ranging from atmospheric temperature to 1000° C. and at high frequency. Said method can be used to evaluate the breaking stress and the number of cycles to which the material has been subjected and to record the break profile. The device comprises an excitation system, a data acquisition system and resonant samples of the material.
