Integrated Pressurized Cooling Architecture for Power Electronic Components

This invention redefines the passive power inductor as an actively cooled structural component by integrating a pressurized automatic transmission fluid (ATF) manifold directly into its molded bobbin. The architecture eliminates the limitations of conventional splash cooling while improving thermal performance without requiring a separate cooling system, additional packaging space, or significant manufacturing complexity.

Level Lume — Ambient Energy & Water Awareness Display

You can see your aunt's newest recipe—and how many likes it got from the other side of the world. You can't see when your own home is burning money through power and water waste that happens every day, in almost every house. **Level Lume changes that.**

**Your home's energy and water — felt, not read.

360 Degree Solar Panel for Cars

This idea allows the solar panel to receive the sun's rays in any direction of the car, as the panel itself has a 360-degree circumferential shape horizontally and a cone shape vertically. This ensures high performance of capturing sunlight. The stationary panel requires adjustment based on the movement of the sun.

A Modular NH₃ Production Architecture for Sovereign Aviation Fuel Independence

The H2EM Ammonia Plant is a field governed, atmospheric pressure ammonia synthesis system designed to replace the high pressure, high temperature Haber Bosch process with a compact, electrically powered, non thermal alternative. It is part of the H2EM family within the Griffiths Canon and shares the same electromagnetic field topology, the same DIGSP supervisory control layer,

A New Kind of Highly-Efficient Wireless Charging Technology

Presently, almost all inductive wireless charge (WLC) devices -- the so-called charge pads -- have a thin-plane structure. Available WLCs on the market now follow the same working principle as an electric transformer, however, there is a big and fundamental difference: unlike the transformers used everywhere else, these inductive WLCs do not have magnetic cores.

A Novel High Potential Approach to Betavoltaic Batteries: Field Augmented P-I-N Diode Architecture for Depletion‐Region Scaling and Power‐Density Breakthroughs

Betavoltaic batteries promise decades of continuous, maintenance-free power from a beta-emitting isotope. Yet today's designs are limited by how much beta ionization energy is actually captured within the diode's narrow depletion region. Our entry, the Field-Augmented P-I-N Diode Architecture (FAPDA), directly addresses this limitation.

Betavoltaic batteries convert beta radiation directly into electricity,

AcoustoGen: No-Moving-Part Thermoacoustic Waste-Heat Engine

Industry and transportation generate enormous quantities of waste heat, steel plants exhaust gases at 400–900°C, ship engines reject 50% of fuel energy as heat, data centers operate liquid cooling loops at 60–80°C. Recovering even a fraction of this heat as electricity could offset hundreds of millions of tonnes of CO₂ annually. Conventional heat recovery systems (Rankine cycle,

Adaptive Wave Shoaling Generation System

This technology leverages wave shoaling for nearshore deployments at depths of 10 to 25 meters. It offers a cost-effective, reliable alternative to deep-sea systems.

High Efficiency: Nearshore wave directions are highly stable, concentrating energy into forward kinetic energy.

Low Maintenance: Fully sealed floating bodies prevent seawater corrosion and require no coastline footprint.
