20080226538 | Process For Production of Carbon Black - Off-gas from a carbon black furnace is employed as a combustion gas feed stream to the burner or combustion zone of the same or a different carbon black furnace in accordance with certain embodiments, suitable conduit and valving is provided to pass off-gas, from which carbon black has been substantially removed, from any and all of multiple different carbon black furnaces to the burner. The off-gas is heated, preferably by plasma heating, and dewatered. Carbon dioxide stripping or rather stripping of gas components from the dewatered heated off-gas is found to be unnecessary to achieve economically favorable use of off-gas recirculation. | 09-18-2008 |

20090044896 | HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC-BASED THERMAL PROTECTION MATERIAL - A thermal protection paste as described herein can be used by itself, or impregnated into a high temperature resistant fabric to form a repair patch, to repair a thermal protection structure. The paste includes a ceramic composition that includes ceramic material having at least a first controlled particle size and a second controlled particle size that is larger than the first controlled particle size. The ceramic composition is mixed into a high temperature ceramic precursor resin to form the paste. The paste (or patch) is applied to the structure under repair and initially heated to cure the paste and to secure it in place. When the paste and/or patch is cured, it becomes a cross-linked polymer having high thermal protection characteristics. When the paste is exposed to very high temperature, e.g., spacecraft reentry temperatures, it pyrolizes and retains its high thermal protection characteristics. | 02-19-2009 |

20150021054 | AUTOMATIC FIRE TARGETING AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system for providing an automatic fire extinguishing system including a tank filled with an extinguishing agent with a targeting system with independently mounted targeting servos and targeting gimbal to position an emitter. A microcontroller provides control signals to the targeting servos and an actuation valve. A plurality of temperature sensors electrically connected to the microcontroller send temperature data to the microcontroller which calculates target angles and sends the target angle to the targeting gimbal. The emitter is positioned by the targeting servo positioning the targeting gimbal armatures to the target angles. The microcontroller compares sensor temperature data a predetermined temperature value and sends an open signal to the actuation valve when a sensor temperature data is greater than the predetermined temperature value. The extinguishing agent flows from the tank to the emitter, where it is discharged. | 01-22-2015 |
