Graph-based AI detects and locates power grid anomalies in real time using PMU data.

This technology introduces a graph learning-based framework for detecting and localizing anomalies in power systems using distributed PMU data. The core innovation lies in modeling the grid as a dynamic spatiotemporal graph, where each node represents a bus (or measurement point), and edges represent relationships between voltage measurements across...

Dual Purpose PIG for Cleaning and Internal Integrity Assessment for Pipelines

While cleaning pigs effectively maintain pipeline integrity, most don't conduct condition or integrity assessments. In-line inspection (ILI) pigs, on the other hand, are specifically designed for such tasks, identifying potential risks from in-line defects. However, ILI pigs come with significant drawbacks, including the need for specialized technical...

Zwitterionic copolymers as surface modifying additives for marine fouling-release coatings

Block copolymers of poly(dimethylsiloxane) and monomers containing zwitterionic groups were synthesized and incorporated as additives in a polyurethane coating and evaluated for their ability to improve the coatings' fouling-release properties. Homopolymers of the zwitterionic monomers were also prepared and incorporated into the polyurethane coating...
