DEEC-Tec is a new kind of marine energy technology that distinguishes itself through the use of many small DEECs that are assembled to form DEEC-Tec metamaterials. These metamaterials, in turn, are used to create overall larger structures for the harvesting and conversion of marine energy, like one developed by NREL (now patented).
Technology Level 1: An individual DEEC is often no more than a few centimeters long and acts as both energy transducer and structural mechanism. As an energy transducer, a DEEC leverages at least one physical phenomenon to convert external sources of energy into electricity. As a structural mechanism, an individual DEEC houses or is part of the energy transducer and also enables interconnection with other DEECs.
Technology Level 2: DEEC-Tec metamaterials are aggregations and integrations of many DEECs. DEEC-Tec metamaterials are the general building blocks for a structure that can harness and convert marine renewable energy. DEEC-Tec metamaterials could include combinations of DEEC types, combined in different ways (such as layers, latices, or embedded in substrates).
Technology Level 3: A DEEC-Tec-based ocean wave energy converter is an example of an energy harnessing/converting structure made of DEEC-Tec metamaterials. DEEC-Tec-based wave energy converters have two defining characteristics:
NREL has extensive experience in developing materials for both FMDEC structures and embedded distributed energy converters. This experience, to name of few, leverages techniques ranging from upcycling of used polymers to the development of novel new elastomer electrodes.
NREL is familiar with and has the experience necessary for the co-design of DEEC-Tec-based ocean wave energy converters. Inherent in their nature, DEEC-Tec-based converters require the co-design and concurrent engineering of, at minimum:
NREL develops the evaluation tools (e.g., technology performance-level assessments and numerical modeling tools) needed to characterize and assess DEEC-Tec concepts, aiming for a greater understanding and appreciation of the technology's optimal and realistic possibilities.
NREL develops the evaluation tools (e.g., technology performance-level assessments and numerical modeling tools) needed to characterize and assess DEEC-Tec concepts, aiming toward a greater understanding and appreciation of the technology's possibilities:
Challenges associated with the DEEC-Tec domain include proper material(s) design for fatigue minimization, optimal geometry composition, and power conversion efficiencies as well as individual transducer unit design and embedment configurations.
With the broad scope of design options (e.g., co-designing for the development of DEEC-Tec geometry, transducer arrangements, and active control strategies), there are many reasons to be optimistic about resolving these DEEC-Tec challenges.
The California Air Resources Board, with assistance from aftermarket catalytic converter manufacturers, has been developing a database to store and retrieve information on aftermarket catalytic converters that have been approved for use in California. These catalytic converters comply with the new regulations that became effective January 1, 2009. The database is currently under construction and contains some of the catalytic converters approved for OBD II vehicles. Once finalized, it will also include catalytic converters for non-OBD II vehicles.
To access Executive Orders that are not shown in the database, please view the complete list of approved catalytic converters under the new regulations. Also, to access Executive Orders for only pre-OBD II vehicles under the new regulations please view the Pre-OBD II EO Listing.
For information on Executive Orders issued under the old regulations, view the summary list. All Executive Orders on this summary list are void and no longer in force and effect. The catalytic converters they cover cannot be sold in California effective December 31, 2008. Likewise, the used catalytic converters they covered cannot be sold in California effective July 10, 2008.
Please note that the database and lists are applicable to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles only. Executive Orders for motorcycle aftermarket catalytic converters can be viewed in the Motorcycle Aftermarket Parts Page.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement partners from across the United States executed a nationwide, coordinated takedown today of leaders and associates of a national network of thieves, dealers, and processors for their roles in conspiracies involving stolen catalytic converters sold to a metal refinery for tens of millions of dollars.
Arrests, searches, and seizures took place in California, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia. In total, 21 individuals in five states have been arrested and/or charged for their roles in the conspiracy.
The 21 defendants are charged in two separate indictments that were unsealed today in the Eastern District of California and the Northern District of Oklahoma following extensive law enforcement arrest and search operations. In addition to the indictments, over 32 search warrants were executed, and law enforcement seized millions of dollars in assets, including homes, bank accounts, cash, and luxury vehicles.
According to court documents, brothers Tou Sue Vang, 31, and Andrew Vang, 27, and Monica Moua, 51, all of Sacramento, California, allegedly operated an unlicensed business from their personal residence in Sacramento where they bought stolen catalytic converters from local thieves and shipped them to DG Auto Parts LLC (DG Auto) in New Jersey for processing. The Vang family allegedly sold over $38 million in stolen catalytic converters to DG Auto.
According to court documents, together the defendants bought stolen catalytic converters from thieves on the street, then re-sold and shipped them to DG Auto in New Jersey for processing. Over the course of the conspiracy, defendant Tyler James Curtis received over $13 million in wired funds from DG Auto for the shipment of catalytic converters and received over $500,000 from Capital Cores for catalytic converters. Defendant Adam G. Sharkey received over $45 million in wired funds from DG Auto. And defendant Martynas Macerauskas received over $6 million in payments from DG Auto for catalytic converters. In all these incidents, most of the catalytic converters sold to DG Auto were stolen, and DG Auto knew or should have known that when they paid for them.

I'm currently searching for an efficient solution to convert HEIC files to JPG format. Since I often need to handle numerous photos from my iPhone, which saves images in HEIC format by default, I find it necessary to convert these files into a more universally accepted format like JPG. The main challenge I'm facing is finding a best HEIC to JPG converter that maintains high-quality outputs without substantial loss in image detail, especially when dealing with a large volume of photos. Could anyone recommend a reliable HEIC to JPG converter that meets these criteria? Any suggestions on software or online tools that have worked well for you would be greatly appreciated.
3. Aiseesoft HEIC Converter - This converter offers quick and easy conversion of HEIC files to JPG, PNG, or other popular image formats. It allows you to adjust the image quality and supports batch conversion.
4. Wondershare UniConverter - Formerly known as Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate, this software also supports HEIC to JPG conversion along with a wide range of other multimedia-related tasks. It offers high-speed conversion and batch processing capabilities.
@Daphnere There are approximately 2000+ HEIC files that need to be converted to JPG or PNG files so that I can view them on my Windows 11 computer, I tried a lot of online HEIC to JPG converters but were not satisfied, either I can only upload 20 at a time, or the conversion speed is too slow and there are a lot of ads .I'm looking for a best HEIC to JPG converter capable of converting hundreds of heics at once.
