Kobe Bryant Case - The British Open Fabulous Finale, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The avalanche has begun. Over the next several months we will be buried in media coverage of the Kobe Bryant Case. We will get double coverage with misinformation flowing from the news outlets and the sports outlets. By the end of this weekend numbness was already beginning to set in every time I heard the word "Kobe.”

Analog Pulse Position Modulation In Harmonically Mode-Locked Lasers, Robert Peale, Chris Fredricksen, Andrei Muravjov, Remco Strijbos, Sandra Withers

UCF Patents

Analog pulse position modulation of pulsed emission from a laser, which is actively and harmonically mode-locked. The laser requires: a body of an active gain medium; means for changing the gain as a function of a controllable parameter; harmonically and actively mode-locking the laser by fast periodic changes of said parameter; and superimposing slower changes on the parameter whereby the fast periodic parameter changes can be continuously shifted between the peak and the shoulder of the gain-vs-parameter curve. As proof of concept, electric control of the separation between two interleaved pulse trains from a far-infrared (1.5-4 THz) p-Ge laser, which …

Method For Characterizing Particles In A Liquid Medium Using Interferometry., Aristide Dogariu, Gabriel Popescu

UCF Patents

In a method for characterizing particles in a colloidal suspension, during a period in which the particles undergo sedimentation, changes are measured in the intensity among interference patterns generated by combining first and second partially coherent radiation portions. Each radiation portion is generated from the same source. The first portion includes a component transmitted through a fraction of the suspension, and the second portion is transmitted through a reference path.

Process For Production Of High Efficiency Volume Diffractive Elements In Photo-Thermo-Refractive Glass, Leonid Glebov, Oleg Efimov, Larissa Glebova, Vladim Smirnov

UCF Patents

A novel process is proposed for the volume diffractive element (Bragg grating) fabrication in photosensitive silicate glasses doped with silver, cerium, fluorine, and bromine. The process employs a photo-thermo-refractive (PTR) glass of high purity exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation of a He--Cd laser at 325 nm followed by thermal development at temperatures from 480.degree. C. to 580.degree. C., preferably at 520.degree. C., from several minutes to several hours. Absolute diffraction efficiency up to 95% was observed for 1 mm thick gratings. Maximum spatial frequency recorded in PTR glass was about of 10,000 mm.sup.-1. No decreasing of diffraction efficiency were detected …

Closed Cycle Photocatlytic Process For Decomposition Of Hydrogen Sulfide To Its Constituent Elements Div, Clovis Linkous, Nazim Muradov Jun 2003

Closed Cycle Photocatlytic Process For Decomposition Of Hydrogen Sulfide To Its Constituent Elements Div, Clovis Linkous, Nazim Muradov

UCF Patents

System for separating hydrogen and sulfur from hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2 S) gas produced from oil and gas waste streams. Hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2 S) gas is passed into a scrubber and filtration unit where it encounters polysufide solution. Elemental sulfur is freed and filtered through a porous media and continues to a stripper where excess H.sub.2 S is removed. The excess H.sub.2 S returns to the scrubber and filtration unit, while the sulfide solution passes into a photoreactor. The sulfide solution inside the photoreactor is oxidatively converted to elemental sulfur and complexed with excess sulfide ion to make polysulfide ion, while …

Qualitative And Statistical Analysis Of The Florida Photovoltaic Rebate Program, Florida Solar Energy Center, Jennifer Szaro

FSEC Energy Research Center®

The Florida Photovoltaic (PV) Rebate Program, which began in March of 1999, has led to the installation of 52 utility interactive PV systems in seven electric utility service territories. The Program offered $4 per installed DC Watt to Florida electric consumers who installed grid-connected photovoltaic equipment in accordance with a series of quality control requirements developed and administered by the Florida Solar Energy Center. All rebated installations are currently being monitored in an effort to collect statistically significant reliability, performance and cost data on grid-connected PV systems. Funding for this program was provided through a one-time grant from the Florida …

Method For Monitoring A Characteristic Of A Mixture Comprising Particles Suspended In A Liquid., Aristide Dogariu, Gabriel Popescu May 2003

Method For Monitoring A Characteristic Of A Mixture Comprising Particles Suspended In A Liquid., Aristide Dogariu, Gabriel Popescu

UCF Patents

The specification describes a method for monitoring a characteristic of a mixture of particles suspended in a liquid medium by generating a first interference signal by combining first and second radiation beams after the first beam traverses a reference path and the second beam traverses a path extending into the mixture, allowing the particles in the mixture to partially settle, then generating a second interference signal by the same technique as used for the first. The second interference signal is then compared to the first interference signal to determine a change in, e.g., the particle density.

Apparatus For Decoupled Thermo-Photocatalytic Pollution Control (Div), Ali Raissi

UCF Patents

A new method for design and scale-up of photocatalytic and thermocatalytic processes is disclosed. The method is based on optimizing photoprocess energetics by decoupling of the process energy efficiency from the DRE for target contaminants. The technique is applicable to photo-thermocatalytic reactor design and scale-up. At low irradiance levels, the method is based on the implementation of low pressure drop biopolymeric and synthetic polymeric support for titanium dioxide and other band-gap media. At high irradiance levels, the method utilizes multifunctional metal oxide aerogels and other media within a novel rotating fluidized particle bed reactor.
