  • Publication number: 20130056993
    Abstract: Thermal Hydraulic DC Generators capture energy from Turbine Generators, Combustion Engines, Geothermal Sources, Facility Systems, or Solar Collectors. These sources can be used to produce 180-degree Fahrenheit hot water in order to drive Thermal Hydraulic DC Generators. These Generators create a very efficient means of generating electric power. Other co-generation systems require the use of steam to drive Steam Turbines. The use of steam as opposed to hot water requires more expensive equipment and more maintenance to operate than a 180 Degree F. hot water system. These 180 Degree F. hot water systems incorporating the Thermal Hydraulic DC Generators are more efficient than the Rankine Cycle or the Carnot Cycle. Thermal Hydraulic DC Generator Engines incorporate a plc based control system that eliminates the need for governors and voltage regulators. They incorporate inverter systems to create “clean” power at unity power factor. This is a new system that has never been accomplished before.

  • Patent number: 6200808
    Abstract: Embryogenesis from plant microspores is routinely induced with a 16-24 h temperature treatment of 32.5° C. Continuous culture at 25° C. results in pollen development. However, microspore treatment with anti-cytoskeletal agents, or protein synthesis inhibitors, at the non-inductive temperature of 25° C., can induce embryogenesis, thus demonstrating that heat shock is not required for embryogenic induction. Furthermore, when anti-microtubule agents (e.g. colchicine) are used, embryo induction and chromosome doubling occur simultaneously, thus generating doubled haploids, whereas heat induction generates haploids. Thus, the use of microtubule inhibitors will provide a simple one-step process to simultaneously induce embryogenesis and chromosome doubling for the production of fertile plants, thus providing minimal manipulation which will be very advantageous for genetic studies and plant breeding programs. As noted, heat shock induces haploids.
