Inclusion free cadmium zinc tellurium and cadmium tellurium crystals and associated growth method

Patent Bolotnikov, Aleskey E [South Setauket, NY]; James, Ralph B [Ridge, NY]

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for crystal growth of cadmium zinc tellurium (CZT) and cadmium tellurium (CdTe) crystals with an inverted growth reactor chamber. The inverted growth reactor chamber enables growth of single, large, high purity CZT and CdTe crystals that can be used, for example, in X-ray and gamma detection, substrates for infrared detectors, or the like. The inverted growth reactor chamber enables reductions in the presence of Te inclusions, which are recognized as an important limiting factor in using CZT or CdTe as radiation detectors. The inverted growth reactor chamber can be utilized with existing crystalmore » « less

Systems and methods for separating particles and/or substances from a sample fluid

Patent Mariella, Jr., Raymond P.; Dougherty, George M.; Dzenitis, John M.; ...

Systems and methods for separating particles and/or toxins from a sample fluid. A method according to one embodiment comprises simultaneously passing a sample fluid and a buffer fluid through a chamber such that a fluidic interface is formed between the sample fluid and the buffer fluid as the fluids pass through the chamber, the sample fluid having particles of interest therein; applying a force to the fluids for urging the particles of interest to pass through the interface into the buffer fluid; and substantially separating the buffer fluid from the sample fluid.

Decision system and method for separating faults from attacks

Patent Giani, Annarita; Abbaszadeh, Masoud; Mestha, Lalit Keshav

According to some embodiments, a plurality of monitoring nodes may each generate a series of current monitoring node values over time that represent a current operation of the industrial asset. A node classification computer may determine, for each monitoring node, a classification result indicating whether each monitoring node is in a normal or abnormal state. A disambiguation engine may receive the classification results from the node classification computer and associate a Hidden Markov Model (“HMM”) with each monitoring node. For each node in an abnormal state, the disambiguation engine may execute the HMM associated with that monitoring node to determinemore » « less

System and method for determining the net output torque from a waste heat recovery system

Patent Tricaud, Christophe; Ernst, Timothy C.; Zigan, James A.

The disclosure provides a waste heat recovery system with a system and method for calculation of the net output torque from the waste heat recovery system. The calculation uses inputs from existing pressure and speed sensors to create a virtual pump torque sensor and a virtual expander torque sensor, and uses these sensors to provide an accurate net torque output from the WHR system.
