THE MISSION
DVR is an independent, scientific research enterprise employing theoretical analysis, mathematical and computer modeling, engineering design, focused experiments, and existing technologies to solve problems of interest.

THE RESULT
Although the DVR mission is ongoing, to date it has resulted in two significant, patent-pending breakthroughs. The first is a computational technique dubbed the Mock Optic Discrete Electronic Transform (MODET). This technique, suitable for discrete-component or integrated-circuit implementation, is theoretically capable of performing a 1024-point discrete Fourier transform in approximately two oscillator cycles. For a conservative 100 MHz operating frequency, this equates to a complete 1024-point discrete Fourier transform every 20 nanoseconds--500 times faster than any existing fourier transform processor. Patents for this technology have been assigned to FSNC, LLC. All inquiries should be directed there.

The second patent-pending breakthrough technology, identified as the Engine Cycle Interdependence Frustration Method (ECIFM) is a technique for improving the efficiency of reciprocating heat engines. The theory on which the technology is based is unprecedented in its ability to predict observed heat engine efficiencies reported in the scientific literature. This includes the correct prediction of efficiencies of engines as disparate as reciprocating internal combustion engines (ICE), Stirling engines, and Jet (or gas turbine, also known as Brayton-cycle) engines. The model nearly exactly reproduces the as-yet-unresolved, 1959 discovery of a 17:1 compression ratio efficiency peak in ICEs reported by Caris and Nelson (C.F. Caris and E.E. Nelson, "A New Look at High Compression Engines", SAE Technical Paper #590015). The discovery projects an approximate thirty percent increase in ICE efficiency. Patents for this technology have been assigned to FSNC, LLC. All inquiries should be directed there.
