A Compact Reformer for Portable Fuel Cells

A compact reformer to generate hydrogen for portable fuel cell applications is presented. This reformer is a conventional type single-path tubular reactor packed with granular catalyst particles in which steam reforming and catalytic partial oxidation reactions take place in series using a mixture of methanol and water as a feed. The novel feature of this reformer is in the interlacing of the f...

Beyond Filters: Compact Feature Map for Portable Deep Model

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown extraordinary performance in a number of applications, but they are usually of heavy design for the accuracy reason. Beyond compressing the filters in CNNs, this paper focuses on the redundancy in the feature maps derived from the large number of filters in a layer. We propose to extract intrinsic representation of the feature maps and preserve th...

A Compact UWB MIMO Antenna for Portable Applications

A novel compact multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for portable ultrawideband (UWB) applications is presented. This antenna consists of two modified planar-monopole antenna elements with coplanar waveguides-fed printed on one side of the substrate. To enhance isolation and increase impedance bandwidth, a tree like stubs is placed on the ground plane at the 45 ̊ axis. The measured resu...

The Portable Chemical Sterilizer (PCS), D-FENS, and D-FEND ALL: novel chlorine dioxide decontamination technologies for the military.

There is a stated Army need for a field-portable, non-steam sterilizer technology that can be used by Forward Surgical Teams, Dental Companies, Veterinary Service Support Detachments, Combat Support Hospitals, and Area Medical Laboratories to sterilize surgical instruments and to sterilize pathological specimens prior to disposal in operating rooms, emergency treatment areas, and intensive care...
