High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy

• A fusion of aesthetics and pioneering engineering, the Series 91 “The Duke” putter takes its inspiration from PGA TOUR Champions player Ken Duke.
• Known for his affinity towards a shorter blade length with a half mallet back, Duke asked SPG engineers to incorporate its technologies into this look.
• Duke, who recently won the Shaw Charity Classic, enthusiastically embraced SPG’s initial design.
• The resulting Series 91 “The Duke” putter integrates SPG’s proprietary technological advancements, marrying classic design with minimalist sophistication.

• PARIS, Sept. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the realm of renewable energy, home battery storage systems have emerged as a game changer.
• Paris Rhône Energy is a leading energy technology company that provides advanced power grid software solutions, backup and prime power systems for home and industrial applications, solar + battery storage solutions, virtual power plant platforms, and engine- and battery-powered tools and equipment.
• Home battery storage systems are energy reservoirs designed to store surplus electricity generated by renewable sources such as solar energy.
• RE+ 2023 will allow Paris Rhône Energy to showcase its innovative technology to foster sustainability on a global scale.

• A 2022 Ford F-150 requires 9.4 and 12.1 litres per 100 km for highway and city driving, respectively.
• Traditional fuel-powered automobiles, powered by the internal combustion engines, give higher mileage on a highway compared to city roads.
• Second, unlike highway driving, city driving involves more frequent acceleration and braking; every time a fuel-powered automobile accelerates, it consumes more energy than it would consume to maintain speed.
• All these factors result in higher gas mileage on highway driving compared to city driving.

Power usage

• And will that power requirement be higher (or lower) to drive in the city?
• It could be expected that a BEV would require less power to drive on a highway compared to city.
• When the BEV operates at high power, only a certain portion of the full energy capacity is available for driving.

Battery testing

• We took a cylindrical battery cell like the ones used to make battery packs for BEVs and computed its energy at different discharge currents.
• First, we fully charged the battery and then discharged it at a certain power until it was fully depleted.
• When we computed the total energy discharged by the battery at each experiment, we found that the lower the current, the higher the discharge energy capacity.
• The battery management system is very important, and in some BEVs, it may be programmed to prevent the driver from fully depleting the battery pack so that long-term health can be maintained.

Informed consumers

• On average, the tested BEVs required lower power to drive 100 kilometres in city roads compared to highways, confirming our explanation.
• Our findings suggest that those considering an electric vehicle would find it useful if power consumption guides included this information.

• Furthermore, Cabot has completed its first-ever life cycle assessment (LCA) of an E2C solution used in an on-road truck tire application.
• Global demand for products that reduce environmental impact is driving tire and industrial rubber manufacturers to seek solutions that enable sustainability benefits throughout the lifecycle of their end-product.
• As such, the rubber industry is looking for opportunities to increase raw material efficiency, reduce downstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and decrease end-of-life product waste.
• This latest solution expands Cabot’s current E2C product line for use in on-road commercial tire applications including long-haul, regional and intercity trucks and buses, commercial tire retreads, as well as protective rubber liners for industrial equipment.
