Abstract

UltraSep is an intelligent ultrasonic separation platform that transforms solid–liquid separation through real-time eigenfrequency resonance locking and ultra-low power energy optimization. By dynamically matching ultrasonic output to system resonance while maximizing particulate removal per unit of applied energy, UltraSep replaces centrifugation and fouling-prone filtration with precision-controlled acoustic forces that significantly reduce power consumption, mechanical complexity, and operating cost while improving recovery performance. This integrated platform unites patented resonance-based acoustic control and energy-per-removal optimization with chemistry-enhanced separation and proprietary system software into a scalable, high-impact commercial technology.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
