Energy Fishing using Moving Wind Turbine System
Offshore wind turbines are typically fixed devices anchored to the seabed by a foundation. The advantages of a floating offshore system (economic, reusable, deeper water depths) as compared to fixed structures have resulted in increased interest in floating technologies. The major type of floating wind systems in use today are semisubmersible and concrete...

Commercial Scale Isoflavone Extraction and Subsequent Conversion to Value-Added Chemicals and Materials
Isoflavones are a plant-derived compound with a variety of uses primarily derived from soybeans. Commercial production of soy-based Isoflavones is limited in scope, with many of today’s processing plants employing a variety of multifaceted steps, often utilizing synthetic chemicals for extraction. These techniques often result in low product yields...

Method to actively control the direction of hydraulic fractures using ultrasonic waves
Hydraulic fracking has revolutionized the oil industry since the first successful application in 1950. In hydraulic fracking, high pressure fluids are injected into wells in order to crack and thereby render the oil containing substrate more permeable thus allowing the entrapped oil and gas to flow more freely. Wells may be drilled vertically hundreds...
