20090035622 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING ORGANIC SULFUR COMPONENTS IN HYDROCARBON FUELS - The present invention includes systems and methods of treating a hydrocarbon fuel to reduce organic sulfur components so as to be amenable to small-scale and/or field-based applications. Embodiments of the invention involve the performance of a vapor-phase hydrodesulfurization operation using steam reformate. The steam reformate is a hydrogen source for the hydrodesulfurization and is provided by an integrated steam reformer. | 02-05-2009 |
20090114093 | Methods, Systems, And Devices For Deep Desulfurization Of Fuel Gases - A highly effective and regenerable method, system and device that enables the desulfurization of warm fuel gases by passing these warm gasses over metal-based sorbents arranged in a mesoporous substrate. This technology will protect Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysts and other sulfur sensitive catalysts, without drastic cooling of the fuel gases. This invention can be utilized in a process either alone or alongside other separation processes, and allows the total sulfur in such a gas to be reduced to less than 500 ppb and in some instances as low as 50 ppb. | 05-07-2009 |
20110039686 | Fast regeneration of sulfur deactivated Ni-based hot biomass syngas cleaning catalysts - A new regeneration method has been developed which can effectively and efficiently remove sulfur from Ni-based steam reforming catalysts. In its simplest form the present invention comprises the steps of oxidizing a catalyst with a dilute O | 02-17-2011 |
20130287663 | SYSTEM, SORBENTS, AND PROCESSES FOR CAPTURE AND RELEASE OF CO2 - A system, sorbent formulations, methods of preparation, and methods are described that provide selective sorption and release of CO | 10-31-2013 |

20090053733 | SIMULTANEOUS ASSAY FOR DETERMINING DRUGS - A method and kits for assaying a sample of a human or mammalian bodily fluid to simultaneously determine whether one or more of a plurality of drugs and/or metabolites thereof are present in said sample and optionally to perform a semi-quantitative assay for said drug or drugs, comprising: | 02-26-2009 |
20090053832 | SIMULTANEOUS ASSAY FOR DETERMINING DRUGS - A method and kits for assaying a sample of a human or mammalian bodily fluid to simultaneously determine whether one or more of a plurality of drugs and/or metabolites thereof are present in said sample and optionally to perform a semi-quantitative assay for said drug or drugs, comprising: | 02-26-2009 |
20110190169 | SIMULTANEOUS ASSAY FOR DETERMINING DRUGS - Bodily fluid is analyzed for the presence of drugs of a selected panel of drugs in a simultaneous assay in which sample of the fluid is incubated with additional amounts of all drugs of the panel, antibodies specific to each of the drugs of the panel, and microparticles, the microparticles being divided into subsets, one subset for each drug in the panel and each subset distinguishable from the others. The incubation is performed in a liquid medium in which competitive binding occurs, the drugs in the sample competing with those added to the assay medium for binding to the antibodies. In one procedure, the added drugs are pre-coupled to the microparticles while the antibodies are not, and the incubation is followed by further incubating the microparticles with labeled ligands that have affinity for the antibodies. In an alternative procedure, the added drugs are not coupled to the microparticles but are pre-labeled, while the antibodies are pre-coupled to the microparticles, and the assay proceeds without further incubation. In both alternatives, the microparticles are ultimately recovered from the assay medium and from any unbound species, and the recovered microparticles are analyzed by flow cytometry to obtain indications of the presence of the various drugs in the sample in an inverse manner by detection of the label, each drug differentiable from the others by the distinguishing features of the microparticles. | 08-04-2011 |

20110155225 | Back contact solar cells having exposed vias - Embodiments of the invention contemplate the formation of a solar cell device that has improved efficiency and device electrical properties. In one embodiment, the solar cell device described herein includes an Emitter Wrap Through (EWT) solar cell that has plurality of laser drilled vias disposed in a spaced apart relationship to metal gridlines formed on a surface of the substrate. Solar cell structures that may benefit from the invention disclosed herein include back-contact solar cells, such as those in which both positive and negative contacts are formed only on the rear surface of the device. | 06-30-2011 |
20130321013 | PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE FOR MEASURING IRRADIANCE AND TEMPERATURE - A solar array system includes a plurality of power-generator modules, each power-generator module having an identical form factor and comprising a plurality of photovoltaic cells wired for power generation. The system also includes at least one sensor module having a substantially identical appearance and form factor as the power-generator modules and comprising a like plurality of photovoltaic cells. The operational state of the system is monitored by an array performance monitor, which measures signals sent from the various modules. At least one photovoltaic cell in the sensor module delivers a short-circuit current signal to the array performance monitor and at least one photovoltaic cell in the sensor module delivers an open-circuit voltage signal to the array performance monitor. These signals are used to calculate a theoretical power output of the array system, which is compared to the actual power output. | 12-05-2013 |
