Research and development of new and renewable energy resources is mainly focused by researchers in recent decades. Solar Thermal Energy is one of the major technologies esteemed to replace the fossil fuels. Purpose of this research is to design and fabricate solar thermal battery to utilize natural solar resource for generation of electricity instead of fossil fuel. This paper proposes the design and fabrication of Solar Thermal Battery. To achieve the desired objective, the work is divided into two parts. In first part, all the materials regarding Solar Thermal Battery i.e. stainless steel, molten salts, insulation materials, suctio n creation, temperature and pressure gauges have been analyzed and characterized in detail. Heat storage materials have been experimentally characterized for insulation ...

The environment consists of the computational origami engine Eos for origami construction, visualization, and geometrical reasoning, WebEos for providing web interface to the functionalities of Eos, and web service system Scorum for symbolic computing web services. WebEos is developed using Web2.0 technologies, and provides a graphical interactive web interface for origami construction and proving. In Scorum, we are preparing web services for a wide range of symbolic computing systems, and are using these services in our origami environment. We explain the functionalities of this environment, and discuss its architectural and technological features.

Composition and dimensions of these panels as well as the possibility to mill them by Computer Numerically Controlled machines, show a great potential for surface structures. The aim of this research is to reveal this potential in the domain of folded plate structures. An interdisciplinary team investigates architectural, structural and mathematical aspects of folded plate structures built from cross laminated timber panels.

The problem of assigning functions to each of the processors is very much like the generalized electrical circuit layout problem. This paper presents a simple, polynomial time algorithm for placing and routing functions in an origami architecture. Empirical results are analyzed and optimizations suggested.
