Self-Powered Global Positioning System (GPS)-Synchronized Micro-Continuous Point-on-Wave (CPoW) Module
­Background Electric power utilities have started using phasor measurement units (PMUs) to obtain time-synchronized measurements of the voltage and current magnitudes and phase angles, frequency, and rate-of-change frequency (RoCoF) throughout their systems. However, there are still several key measurements that PMUs are unable to provide. In particular,...

Capacitive Coupler for Efficient High Voltage Step-Down
Capacitive dropper circuits are employed when a low DC voltage, typically at a low current, must be obtained inexpensively and reliably from a high AC voltage. Capacitive dropper circuits are notable for their low consumption of active power relative to the current that they are able to supply, and are notable for their ability to supply reactive power...

Portable, Low-Cost, Sterilization & Disinfection Systems
Until there is an effective vaccine or therapeutic, the current pandemic shows no signs of slowing, placing even more stress on health care systems that are already overwhelmed. The current high demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly N95 masks, has resulted in global shortages. However, because of the specialized machines necessary...

Low-Cost Auto-Aligning Charging Station for Autonomous Drones
Background Drone charging systems contend with such drawbacks as high cost, tight required landing area, and mechanical complexity. Many involve advanced drone alignment mechanisms or charging pads. Therefore, a charging system that addresses these issues can advance the use of drones in new, autonomous applications. Invention Description Researchers...
