Phasing of Turbine Engine Gearbox
TS-057725 — The angle at which the gears of a turbine engine are staggered can be manipulated to neutralize harmonic excitations produced by the engine.
The aviation industry is responsible for transporting over 4.5 billion people through 16 million flights in one year. Turbine engines contain a turbofan which has internal gears that are responsible for the internal vibrations an engine can experience. This harmonic excitation is responsible for t…

Production of Galacto-oligosaccharides from Lactose by Enzyme Immobilized on Cotton Cloth
TS-037689 — Lactose from cheese whey is converted from a dairy byproduct to a useful prebiotic using enzymes immobilized on cotton cloth.
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are a collection of prebiotic fibers made of a chain of galactose sugars of variable length. GOS has been shown to exert some of the most potent and beneficial effects among prebiotic fibers. When added to infant formula, it can change bowel flora to approximate the …
