Introducing Slipcasting To Advanced Ceramics Production

As with most people, our interaction with ceramics is limited to any experience we’ve had with pottery — be it a studio class or the coffee cup sitting on your desk. However, ceramics are used in multiple industries such as structural, refractory (heating), and technical (machines) and their compositions vary depending on their use.

Originally Designed By NASA

Advanced ceramics are a part of the technical industry. Produced from highly refined powders, the majority are man-made using extreme temperatures and carefully combined chemicals. They are very strong and can endure great stresses like extreme temperatures, sharp objects, and harsh chemicals. However, due to the importance placed on products made of advanced ceramic technology, the production of said products can take a significant amount of time.

Improving Technique and Formula for Faster Results

Thankfully, the team at Scientific Ceramic Engineering (SCE) has developed a new ceramic slurry formula as well as a rapid precision molding technique. The new formula permits room-temperature molding and the improved ceramic binder replaces toxic additives. In addition, the process minimizes infrastructure cost, shortens the cored casting process by 66% which allows the delivery of parts up to 36 weeks sooner, enabling your company a faster, more cost-effective approach to producing advanced ceramic pieces.

A Hybrid Laser Design For Increased Yield

When it comes to producing machining titanium, ceramic, and its alloys efficiently, there is a delicate balance between productivity and profitability. Because standard machining practices in titanium production lines require high-output to supply the proper amount of product, there comes the unavoidable downfall of mechanical parts having an equally high turnover rate due to rapid tool degradation as titanium is an extremely tough metal. This, in turn, leads to higher overall costs. Overcoming this issue requires a new approach in which all components of the machining process are developed for the unique challenges and cutting titanium, ceramic, and its alloys.

Get a More Polished Product Sooner than Ever

The Titanium Laser is one such option. Developed by our top of the line engineers, this hybrid laser cutting tool design works by heating a portion of a workpiece with a laser beam then machining the heated portion of the workpiece with the cutting tool. Cryogenic fluid is then circulated around the cutting tool to achieve a temperature differential between the work piece and the cutting tool, which has been shown to increase the removal rates and extending tool life at cutting speeds of above 100 m/min.

More Efficient Documentation Leads to Better Healthcare

Throughout the United States, hospitals are losing millions each year due to underpaid billings from Medicare and Medicaid as a result of inefficient coding currently being implemented by data documentation software. Because of the staggering losses of patient data across the board, Patient Code has developed a new software engine known as Real-Time Dx to increase documentation efficiency.

Better Diagnostic Times for Faster Results

Recent tests run by Stony Brook Hospital have proven that Real-Time Dx can help save hospitals over $4 million a year thanks to a lack of documentation errors. The Real-Time Dx technology has also proven to potentially increase documented diagnoses by 75%. Not only does this significantly increase and regulate a hospitals Case Mis Index (CMI) accuracy, but it helps to decrease the amount of time necessary to identify a comorbidity by a third.

Spend Less Time Fixing and More Time Creating

Although having the job title ‘software engineer’ or ‘software architect’ sounds exciting, there is a real downside to working in the programming industry. Many programmers will admit that they spend more of their time fixing software errors than they spend creating new software. Far too often, this process will take so long that new software will go on the market with a multitude of bugs still in place. And by the time the software is 99% bug-free, it is already out-of-date.

A Software for Software Engineers

Thankfully, we’ve been able to put some of the best and brightest software engineers on the case, and they have developed a revolutionary solution. Known as Software Bug Localization, this new and improved Information Retrieval (IR) model points software development teams to the source of their coding errors so they can fix them up to 80% faster than with existing solutions.

Impressive Accuracy Rates Expedite Success

Software Bug Localization takes into account the spatial code proximity and term ordering relationships in a code base for improved retrieval accuracy. The retrieval framework uses a fuzzy matching mechanism between the term blocks of the queries and the source code. With Software Bug Localization’s retrieval framework, you obtain significantly higher bug localization accuracies that outperform all other state-of-the-art approaches by 30%– even those programs that take development history into account.

Minimize Friction to Maximize Efficiency

When it comes to fuel efficiency, the number one guaranteed method is reducing those resistant forces preventing your forward momentum. In the case of most motorists, this force is commonly known as wind resistance. Despite our inclination towards streamlined vehicle designs over the last several decades, there are still several pockets of drag force that are simply unavoidable if we are to keep the current mass and shape of our large trucks.

Plasma Stream Offers A Frictionless Ride

In response to this problem, The University of Notre Dame has developed Plasma Stream, an air flow control system that utilizes plasma actuators in order to maximize fuel efficiency. This new system is capable of controlling airflow around the vehicle and provides a separation between the body mass of the truck and the surrounding air, minimizing the drag force significantly. Independent of the truck’s actual body shape, Plasma Stream has the very real potential to reduce fuel costs drastically by improving efficiency and lessening horsepower requirements.

A Better Brick, A Better Structure

The Titan Brick is a revolutionary eco-friendly building material. Developed in partnership with the University of Florida: School of Design, Construction, & Planning (Est. 1925), the Titan Brick technology brings our advanced understanding of molecular compounds to the build site. Thanks to our brilliant engineers, we have developed a way to manufacture the common brick using less energy and implementing common, cost-efficient raw materials.

Fewer Materials, Stronger Results

What is so extraordinary about this design is that even though it is comprised of 90% dirt, it is 2 1/2 times stronger than traditional concrete blocks. Tested and confirmed by LEED Home Provider and the U.S. Department of Energy, the Titan Brick has shown itself to be a more durable option against natural disasters, pests, house fires, mold, and noisy neighbors. Not to mention that the Titan Brick does the work of framing a house as well, making the number of construction supplies needed as well as the time to construct a house with the Titan Brick faster and more affordable.

Eliminate Pests Without The Poison

When it comes to insects, it seems as though they like to eat everything that we do (and some things that we don’t). So often times, when trying to exterminate them from our residence, we have to resort to putting harmful toxic chemicals around all of our food and lower entryways. Although it seems rather obvious not to mix the two, having these pesticides so close to our food and in areas where family members who spend time closer to the areas where insects like to congregate such as small children and pets, it becomes more likely that these harmful chemicals will end up hurting them as well as the insects.

Introducing BioLogic Insecticide

This is where BioLogic Insecticide comes into play. BioLogic uses an FDA approved, all natural, low-cost edible substance and weaponizes it against insects. The best part about it is that because it is an edible substance, it does not harm humans or animals, making it the perfect bug-only toxin to place around the interior of your house.

An Eco-Friendly Internet

The Internet as we know it is merely a giant conglomeration of servers communicating to one another through strands and strands of fiber optic cables. While we don’t often think about them unless they are down, the energy that servers use plus the cost of their upkeep can be quite substantial. 

Server Dome has designed an unmanned, virtually maintenance-free, self-sustained data center with little to no energy footprint to meet the demands of today’s growing data collection and analysis needs. The geodesic dome provides structural integrity to the outside, while the interior layout eliminates most mechanical requirements. Overall, these two features combine to reduce the cost of systems management by an astounding eighty percent.

Sensing With The Visual Spectrum

Today’s occupancy sensors rely on motion or sound to detect whether or not a person or object is in the room. This method, however, is prone to providing false positives and negatives and is not a reliable way of sensing a number of people in an enclosed space. 

Recently, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory have introduced a way of using computer imaging software to analyze actual visual evidence taken of the surrounding area in order to determine occupancy. Unlike previous attempts at improving this sensor technology, the visual analyzation software doesn’t add excess strain on the sensor’s battery, nor does it have a have an unreasonably limited range.

The Future of Biofuel

Although the idea of biofuel may seem like a distant, utopian dream, it is slowly becoming a part of our reality. Since the Energy Policy Act of 2005, gas companies and car manufacturers across the United States have slowly been incorporating ethanol into our available gasoline supply. According to a recent study, most cars in the US can run on gas mixtures of up to 10% ethanol. Ethanol, also known as biofuel, is often found in alcoholic beverages in small amounts. However, in more concentrated doses, it can provide a needed, sustainable energy source for our travel industry. 

Growing The Soybean Industry In America

Currently, most of our ethanol is being made with sugar cane or corn. However, SBH Biofuel Systems Inc is taking a leap into making a dramatic shift in ethanol production by using soybeans instead. Corn is a subsidized commodity in the United States, making it the go-to source for everything from sweeteners to biofuel. However, despite all of the corn’s uses, soybeans have just as many benefits. Not only are they a great source of protein, but they can be supplemented into other food recipes for a healthier, tastier result. By investing in soybean farming and the potential products created from these versatile beans, we could eventually convert all cars into being able to run on 100% sustainable fuel sources.

Revolutionary Heat Energy Management aka Thermo-Flex

Wasted heat energy accounts for about one-­third of the total energy consumed in the United States and is responsible for about one-­third of fossil­ fuel­ related greenhouse gas emissions. Approximately 60% of the heat we generate is lost due to naturally occurring low-temperature airstreams within the heat source. 

Thermo-Flex is a revolutionary technology that allows industrial factories to integrate these flexible thermoelectric textiles within their current mainframe by applying a simple wrapping-like insulation. 

What makes Thermo-Flex a cut above other insulation options, however, is the unique low-cost materials it uses. Compared to conventional thermoelectric technologies which utilize expensive (or hazardous) materials and costly manufacturing techniques, Thermo-Flex’s design is engineered to work with with current textile and printing manufacturing. In addition, Thermo-Tech comes integrated with a wireless sensor network, giving an eagle-eye view of the whole system instantaneously.

Taking Back Our Airline Commute Times

Delays from weather problems and unexpected maintenance issues are so common these days, that we consider it a stroke of good luck when our plane actually taxis out of the terminal on time. In fact, travel guides will often suggest that you leave a bit of wiggle room between your connections for just such an eventuality. But what if delays were no longer the norm?

Better Software For Faster Maintenance Analysis

Currently in development, the Predictive Aviation Analytics intelligent software is designed to help airlines avoid catastrophic crashes and imminent breakdowns. Featuring next generation disruptive technology, it immediately collects all in-flight sensor data plus Flight Data Recorder (FDR) information and analyzes all data “post-flight.” By tracking the plane’s condition this software not only saves passenger lives, it improves airplane performance and helps maintain on-time schedules while avoiding aircraft electronic failures that cause flight delays, diverts, and flight cancellations.  

Intelligent Software Learns With Experience

Currently, software systems employed by flight companies will only flag problems if a certain value exceeds a pre-programmed threshold. Because Predictive Aviation Analytics is an “Intelligent Software,” it uses Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) that analyzes previously stored data in order to “learn” from repeated usage. This feature can potentially save airlines thousands of dollars daily including millions in legal liability claims if a disaster occurs.
