| 20080223046 | Method for providing auxiliary power to an electric power plant using fischer-tropsch technology - A method for meeting both base-load and peak-load demand in a power production facility. By integrating a Fischer-Tropsch (FT) hydrocarbon production facility with an electrical power generating facility, peak-load power demand can be met by reducing the temperature of the FT reactor thereby increasing the quantity of tail gases and using FT tail gases to fuel a gas turbine generator set. The method enables rapid power response and allows the synthesis gas generating units and the FT units to operate with constant flow rates. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20090285633 | WATER FEATURE DEVICE - A device for generating and maintaining a standing wave face capable of being ridden by an individual. The device includes a container having a base wall and a sidewall and containing a fluid, at least one inlet into the container, and means for imparting a combination of rotational vertical and horizontal velocity to a fluid with-in the container. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20100155216 | Device and method for thermal decomposition of organic materials - The present invention relates to means of thermally decomposing organic material feedstocks to produce energy, combustible fuels, usable materials, and the ability to sequester carbon. The organic material feedstocks could come from municipal or industrial waste streams, produce from agriculture operations, or from mining operations such as coal or shale. The present invention provides superior temperature control and heat transfer characteristics and enables novel and unique means of heat exchange between endothermic and exothermic reactions in the process stream. This invention provides a sort of “fractional distillation” arrangement enabling the opportunistic capture of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon fuel components, contaminants, and selected organic or inorganic species or components of the feedstock material. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100243545 | Positive displacement motor and pumping apparatus - A pressure driven apparatus comprising a housing, at least one flexible membrane located within the housing so as to divide the interior of the housing into a plurality of chambers, one or more inlets through which a pressurised fluid enters the housing and one or more outlets through which the pressurised fluid exits the housing, and wherein the membrane is adapted for connection to a drive member such that movement of the pressurised fluid within the housing results in the membrane imparting a force to the drive member. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110011053 | Adiabatic external combustion with low pressure positive displacement motor - The present invention relates to a method and device using an external combustion apparatus to supply large amounts of heated and pressurized combustion gases used to produce mechanical movement of a device, such as, but not limited to, a piston or a low pressure positive displacement motor. The combustion takes place in a separate pressurized combustion vessel that is supplied with organic fuel and two separate streams of compressed air, one from a lower pressure air receiver and one from a higher pressure air receiver. The combustion gases from igniting the fuel with the higher pressure air stream are accelerated and blended with the lower pressure air stream in a manner to produce a mixture of higher temperature pressurized working gas. The design includes features of regenerative cooling of the combustion vessel, improved combustion characteristics, regenerative breaking, and higher efficiency. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110171862 | PIVOTING FIN WITH SECUREMENT - A pivoting fin used to control the movement of a surfboard. The pivoting fin is provided with a rotatable hinge allowing the fin to rotate in the “roll” axis of the surfboard. The rotatable hinge is inserted into base position which in turn is secured to the underside of the surfboard. | 07-14-2011 |
