Utilizing the difference in salt concentration of rivers and seas for green energy production has been the subject of many studies since the 1970s.[1] Pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) is one of the methods utilized for harvesting this type of energy and relies on the use of ion-exchange membranes.[2] Another method is an electrochemical concentration cell, which relies on differing salt concentrations.[3,4] Solar evaporation has been used to maintain the concentration difference in some concentration cells.[5] Read more about A Novel Single-Compartment Concentration Cell Driven by Natural Evaporation for Green Energy Harvesting …

New Battery Technologies – Added Value Electronics Can Turn Normal Batteries into Smart Battery Packs

Batteries have come a long way since their invention, from Volta’s voltic pile of zinc and copper plates to today’s high tech lithium ion batteries. The energy density (both volumetric and gravimetric) of battery cells has steadily increased over the years with new battery chemistries.

Businesses that use flooded lead-acid batteries for a variety of applications already know the importance of charging and adding water for optimum performance. Flooded lead-acid batteries are still the most cost effective means to power a variety of vehicles such as golf cars, platforms, cranes and more, but are also great for storing power used in off-grid and partial grid applications. Although these batteries are cost effective, anyone who has had to purchase a new set of them knows how expensive that can be. By making the batteries last longer, users can save a significant amount of money and reduce annual operating costs.

The counterfeiting and cloning of devices and peripherals are major concerns for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These concerns grow when manufacturing is outsourced to offshore Contract Manufacturers (CMs) or even to multiple CMs, which can make it almost impossible to protect the intellectual property (IP) and prevent the unauthorized production of gray market products and peripherals. Legitimate suppliers not only suffer direct revenue losses, but also lose brand reputation if a product is damaged as the result of using cloned peripherals, and may even incur high liability costs.
