Solid State Regulated AC Transformer

Transformers are used throughout the world as a means of changing the AC supply voltage. However these are imperfect solutions as they have substantial no-load losses, are less efficient at both high and low loads, have significant regulation with load (and the line out follows input line changes),

Strain Gage for Highly Elastic, Low-Modulus Materials Possessing Strain Range Greater than 100 Percent

We have developed and tested a strain gage that surpasses conventional foil technology, which is limited to less than 20 percent strains. This was a significant shortcoming given that new structural components on aerospace vehicles include highly elastic, low Young's modulus materials. For example,

Tailored Dielectric Materials With Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

NASA’s Langley Research Center has developed a novel method of depositing metal and metal oxide nanoparticles onto various substrates (see ACS Nano, 3(4), 871–884 [2009]). It is rapid, scalable, and green since it does not require reducing agents or solvents. The process involves first mixing and then heating a metal salt (usually an acetate) with the desired substrate.

The prevention of theft of car components and bicycles

Motor vehicle theft for the relevant parts is a multi billion industry across the world. The insertion of electronic chips into the component parts would stop this level of theft as the components chip could be codified with the engine number. Similarly, bicycles could be facilitated with similar electronic chips.
