Reference excerpt

Independent Natural Resources, Inc. or INRI is an American IP holding company based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. It formed Renew Blue in Dallas as a wholly owned subsidiary charged with licensing the SEADOG pump. The SEADOG Pump is an ocean-wave energy technology patented by Independent Natural Resources Inc. (INRI) and invented by Kenneth W. Welch, Jr. The pump rises and falls with ocean swells, effectively capturing the energy in the ocean waves, to pump seawater to a land-based elevated holding tank. Once in the tank, the potential energy of the water can be used to drive hydroelectric generators, to generate electricity or desalinate water. The technology was tested in the Gulf of Mexico with results validated by Texas A&M University at Galveston. The SEADOG Pump's manufacturer estimates that "a square-mile field of pumps could generate 50 to 1,500 megawatts of electricity – depending on the size and frequency of waves." The company's technology has been shown in energy conferences, including the Gulf Coast Innovation Conference & Showcase and the Energy and Clean Technology Venture Forum. It has had features in the Star Tribune, the Houston Business Journal, the Houston Chronicle and Popular Mechanics. INRI ceased operations in 2010 and gone through bankruptcy and liquidation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Independent Natural Resources, Inc

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Independent Natural Resources, Inc claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Independent Natural Resources, Inc before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Independent Natural Resources, Inc ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Independent Natural Resources, Inc

In research: Independent Natural Resources, Inc appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Independent Natural Resources, Inc in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Independent Natural Resources, Inc is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Natural resources organizations, Wave power, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Independent Natural Resources, Inc outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
