Stirling Subcooler Cycle
Published Monday, July 27, 2009The challenge in refrigeration (and air conditioning, etc.) is to remove heat from a low temperature source and dump it at a higher temperature sink. Compression refrigeration cycles in general take advantage of the idea that highly compressed fluids at one temperature will get colder when allowed to expand. An ideal refrigeration cycle looks...

Reluctant Episodic Memory
Published Monday, July 27, 2009Commonsense reasoning utilizes factual information, logic, and pattern recognition. The core capabilities of Reluctant Episodic Memory (REM) support commonsense reasoning with a memory-centric approach for agent behavior. The algorithm utilizes basic principles for remembering, predicting, and correlating new observations to alleviate the burden...

Automatic Grammar Generation Using Distributed/Collected Knowledge
Published Monday, July 27, 2009In this work, University of Maryland inventors implemented a FSGT generation from distributed knowledge. The same phrases used to generate the FSGT were used to train the SLM model. Their approach is scalable and can handle large number of phrases in generation of the FSGT. Their first contribution is in using a web collected knowledge base to...

Automated Kriegspiel Chess Player
Published Monday, July 27, 2009Kriegspiel is a chess game played without visual awareness of the opponent pieces and opponents do not know what moves an adversary has made.One needs three boards for the game traditional game. Players receive partial information from a referee that allows them to guess where the opponent's pieces may be. Only a referee knows exactly...

The Cyclone Timing Technology
Published Monday, July 27, 2009The IEEE 1588 standard defines a protocol for clock synchronization in measurement and control systems communicating by local area networks including but not limited to Ethernet. The protocol enables heterogeneous systems that include clocks of various inherent precision, resolution and stability to synchronize. The IEEE 1588 protocol takes a...

Novel Genetic Mutations Associated with Lactose Persistence in African and Middle Eastern Populations.
Published Monday, July 27, 2009In humans, lactose intolerance is caused by the inability to metabolize lactose, the main carbohydrate present in milk. In adults the ability to digest lactose declines rapidly after weaning because of decreasing levels of the enzyme lactase phlorozin hydrolase (LPH). LPH is predominantly expressed in the small intestine, where it hydrolyzes...

Expander-TE Subcooler
Published Monday, July 27, 2009The Expander-TE Subcooler is a device which improves both the coefficient of performance (COP) and the cooling capacity of a vapor compression cycle simultaneously. The device includes two components: a thermoelectric (TE) subcooler heat exchanger and an expander with a coupled generator.In summary, the Expander-TE subcooler greatly...

Preparation of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Syndiotactic Styrene Polymers
Published Monday, July 27, 2009The molecular weight of a polymer obtained by conventional bulk phase polymerization with metallocene catalysts is generally limited by chain transfer reactions such as monomer chain transfer, solvent chain transfer, catalyst chain transfer, and -hydride elimination. Typically techniques used to generate very high or ultrahigh molecular weight...

Real-Time, 3-Dimensional, Massive Terrain and Dynamic Animated Data Visualization System
Published Monday, July 27, 2009Real-time transportation data visualization systems have been slow to evolve and current advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) and advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) still used 2D traffic maps to display a graphic of the local roads that are color coded to communicate speed and volume. Such a representation severely limits the end-...

Novel Tuberculosis Vaccine
Published Monday, July 27, 2009Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease that usually affects the lungs, but it may also affect other organs including glands, brain or even the bones of the body. In 2007 the national TB incidence rate in the United States was 4.4 cases per 100,000 populations. The currently available vaccine for tuberculosis is Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (...
