Early tests at the University of Notre Dame showed this technology could reduce drag by 20%.
Ongoing test:
Scientific Ceramic Engineering is working with a major university and industry partners to reduce the investment casting startup costs by an order or magnitude.
It is currently:
Thermo-Flex Technologies, Inc. is currently sponsoring research at both the Georgia Institute of Technology as well as North Carolina State University in collaboration with a global industry partner.
Thermo-Flex Technologies Inc., lab testing has shown that there is a myriad of areas where low-temperature heat waste can be collected and converted to electricity.
Advanced Nano Adhesives tests found it decreased the density of the wood panels by 9.60%, leading to an industry savings of $370 million each year.
The University of Tennessee is now testing:
Huber Engineered Woods and Sonae Industries are potential partners to test the technology on their OSB and particle board.
Biologic Insecticide is sponsoring research at Drexel University to test the company’s natural insecticide ingredient on various insect species.
The technology was previously tested on spotted wing drosophila, mosquitos, pea aphids, fruit flies, fire ants, and several other ant species.
On-going research includes testing on pavement ants, mound ants, carpenter ants, termites, cockroaches and grain beetles. Testing is also being conducted to analyze the effects of BLI’s technology on insect larvae as well as adult fertility.
Predictive Aviation early testing showed it reduced maintenance costs and cut controllable maintenance delays by up to 42%.
Current testing:
Vari-Grid Explorations, Inc. is sponsoring R&D at the National Energy and Technology Lab (NETL) to further enhance the company’s Variable Grid Method (VGM) software technology. These enhancements focus on meeting the energy industry’s data needs and addresses many of the data uncertainty challenges the industry faces. The resulting software improvements will be used to demonstrate how the software will save industry time, reduce costs, and protect industry’s investments.
