Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating volatile hazardous air pollutant (VHAP) and volatile organic compound (VOC) waste products from gas streams. The system disclosed herein employs microporous hydrophobic membranes to remove VHAPs/VOCs from a gas stream into an oleophilic stripping fluid. The stripping fluid is directed into a separate biomembrane reactor wherein the VHAPs/VOCs are transferred across a second microporous hydrophobic membrane into an aqueous nutrient medium, where the extracted VHAPs/VOCs are degraded by microorganisms residing on the surface of the membrane. VHAPs/VOCs are degraded to carbon dioxide, water, and cell debris. The disclosed system uncouples biotreatment from waste generation, such that operation of the biotreatment unit can be continuous and optimized independently of plant work schedules or fluctuations in pollutant concentrations entering the system.

Relying on light signals also means that robotic hands could be made with cheaper materials, which could lead to cheaper prosthetic hands that give the wearer a sense of touch, says Robert Shepherd, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell who co-authored the study.

Beyond Terminator: Squishy "Octobot" Heralds New Era of Soft Robotics
Now what needs to be worked out is how to reprogram the robots to perform different actions, to respond to the environment, and not just perform a pre-programmed sequence, says materials engineer Robert Shepherd at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Shepherd is especially keen to see whether
"This skin could allow soft robots to make themselves more or less visible in their environment, or colorize themselves to appear more friendly or aggressive. Those are traits we'd borrow directly from the octopus," said Robert Shepherd, one of the project's lead researchers. Their creation is capab

Super-stretchy octopus-inspired robotic 'skin' developed
"Soft robots themselves have a great potential for human-robot interaction, because they're much safer and feel nice," says Robert Shepherd, the Cornell University roboticist who headed the research effort.

With artificial 'octopus skin,' robots can bend and stretch while changing color
"The clock radio in your car works in the same way [as the new octopus skin], but isnt made with material that stretches," lead study author Robert Shepherd, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell, told The Washington Post. The idea for the skin came about when Sheph

Ban Trudeau from Harkat deportation over brother's letter, says democracy group
Robert Shepherd, an associate professor with the School of Public Policy and Administration at Ottawa's Carleton University, played down any notion of controversy, saying there is no evidence of special attention being given, or favours being asked.
Cornell University mechanical and aerospace engineering professors Mason Peck and Robert Shepherd received a $100,000 grant from NASA for the amphibious-rover project. Peck is NASA's former chief technologist.
In English/language arts, even the former president of the Modern Language Association, Gerald Graff, finds most of the standards unnecessary and nonsensical. For curriculum expert Robert Shepherd, they are "just another set of blithering, poorly thought-out abstractions." Teachers still don't know
