Acid-Free Synthesis of Electrocatalyst Technology

The present invention describes a novel method for acid-free pyrolytic synthesis of metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) catalysts for use in fuel cell/energy conversion applications. This method allows for rapid production of M-N-C catalysts that exhibit high activity and selectivity for CO2 electroreduction without needing harsh acids or bases.

Computation Method For 3D Point-Cloud Holography

 The dynamic patterning of 3D optical point clouds has emerged as a key enabling technology in volumetric processing across a number of applications. In the context of biological microscopy, 3D point cloud patterning is employed for non-invasive all-optical interfacing with cell ensembles. In augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), near-eye display systems can incorporate virtual 3D point cloud-based objects into real-world scenes, and in the realm of material processing, point cloud patterning can be mobilized for 3D nanofabrication via multiphoton or ultraviolet lithography. Volumetric point cloud patterning with spatial light modulators (SLMs) is therefore widely employed across these and other fields. However, existing hologram computation methods, such as iterative, look-up table-based and deep learning approaches, remain exceedingly slow and/or burdensome. Many require hardware-intensive resources and sacrifices to volume quality.To address this problem, UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new, non-iterative point cloud holography algorithm that employs fast deterministic calculations. Compared against existing iterative approaches, the algorithm’s relative speed advantage increases with SLM format, reaching >100,000´ for formats as low as 512x512, and optimally mobilizes time multiplexing to increase targeting throughput. 

(SD2019-414) MIMO synchronized large aperture Radar

 Researchers from UC San Diego developed Pointillism, a system that enables radars to overcome the challenges posed by specular reflections, sparsity and noise in the radar point clouds, to provide high-fidelity perception of the scene with 3D bounding boxes. Pointillism consists of multiple low-resolution radars placed in a optimal fashion to maximize the spatial diversity and scene information. Pointillism combines this spatial diversity with novel multi-radar fusion algorithms to tackle the problem of specular reflections, sparsity and noise in radar point clouds. Building upon the hardware and algorithms, Pointillism also introduces a novel data-driven approach that enables the detection of multiple dynamic objects in the scene, with their accurate location, orientation and 3D dimensions. Furthermore, Pointillism enables such perception even in inclement weather, thereby paving a way for radar to be the main-stream sensor for autonomous perception.

Boost Converter Methods and System

Electric vehicle (EV) energy systems (fuel cell, battery, supercapacitor) demand power conversion technologies that can vary voltage based on the load or state of charge. This means operating in a dynamic operating environment such as supplying energy during acceleration and storing it during braking. DC-DC boost converters are a widely used component in the power systems of EVs to step the voltage between input (supply) to output (load) during charge-discharge periods. Traditional voltage/current controls for DC-DC converters utilize pulse-width modulation (PWM) controls. While PWM has worked well in the past, it lacks practical stability range under uncertain operating parameters due to its reliance on linearized models of DC-DC converter dynamics.
