• 
  Applications

• The origination of the idea of variable compression ratio was the desire to use it for the engine supplying fuels with different properties; it is the so-called flex-fuel Capability.
• The development of VCR technology says something about the potential for reducing fuel consumption.
• The VCR technology enables a significant extension of the “downsizing” range, allowing further reduction of the displacement volume and the use of even higher boosting pressures. It is estimated that this method of adjusting the working parameters of the spark-ignition engine can result in a reduction in the fuel consumption by up to 30% without a significant increase of toxic exhaust compound emission.
• VCR technology is the possibility of effective implementation of advanced, low-temperature LTC combustion processes (low-temperature combustion). They are characterized by extremely low emission levels of toxic compounds as a result of high complementarily of the combustion phase but conducted under conditions with reduced charge temperature.

• 
  Applications

• Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a PVD technique used to deposit thinfilms of various materials. The PLD process involves directing a high-energy laser beam onto a target, which ablates the atoms of the target material. The ablated particles form vaporised plasma and are then deposited on the substrate.
• A key advantage of PLD is that it yields high-quality stoichiometric thinfilms. It is a versatile technique for depositing multicomponent materials like complex oxides, nitrides, etc. It also allows precise control of the thickness of the film, especially when equipped with in situ units like RHEED.
• PLD-deposited films have broad applications in semiconductors, memory Devices, spintronics, sensors, solar cells, superconductors, etc.
