| 20090286046 | Multiple Layer Polymer Interlayers Having An Embossed Surface - The present invention provides multiple layer interlayers having a relatively soft inner layer and relatively stiff outer layers that can be laminated without unacceptable optical distortion and used in various multiple layer glass panel type applications. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110094665 | Multiple Layer Polymer Interlayers Having a Melt-Fractured Surface - The present invention provides multiple layer interlayers having a soft inner polymer layer and relatively stiff outer layers that can be laminated without unacceptable optical distortion and used in various multiple layer glass panel type applications. Multiple layer interlayers of the present invention have surface topography that is formed by controlling the melt fracture that occurs at the exposed surface of the interlayer, or individual layers of the multiple layer interlayer, during formation of the interlayer. By precisely controlling the surface topography of the interlayer, lamination of the interlayer with a rigid substrate does not lead to unacceptable optical distortion caused by the transfer of the surface topography through outer, stiffer layers into softer, internal layers of the interlayer. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20090081105 | Silica Extraction From Geothermal Water - A method of producing silica from geothermal fluid containing low concentration of the silica of less than 275 ppm includes the steps of treating the geothermal fluid containing the silica by reverse osmosis treatment thereby producing a concentrated fluid containing the silica, seasoning the concentrated fluid thereby producing a slurry having precipitated colloids containing the silica, and separating the silica from the slurry. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090294289 | Hybrid System For Selective Removal Of Contaminants - A system for removing contaminants from water utilizes a layered stack of anion permeable membranes and cation permeable membranes positioned between an anode and a cathode. The layered stack of membranes forms a concentrate water stream flow channel and a diluent water stream flow channel. Ion specific ion exchange resins are inserted within the diluent water stream flow channel. The water stream is pumped through the layered stack of anion permeable membranes. By using the anode, the cathode, and the voltage source to place an electrical potential gradient across the layered stack of membranes the negative ions are drawn toward the anode and the positive ions are drawn toward the cathode in the diluent water stream that flows through the diluent water stream flow channel. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100300287 | Slurried Solid Media for Simultaneous Water Purification and Carbon Dioxide Removal from Gas Mixtures - A slurried solid media for simultaneous water purification and carbon dioxide removal from gas mixtures includes the steps of dissolving the gas mixture and carbon dioxide in water providing a gas, carbon dioxide, water mixture; adding a porous solid media to the gas, carbon dioxide, water mixture forming a slurry of gas, carbon dioxide, water, and porous solid media; heating the slurry of gas, carbon dioxide, water, and porous solid media producing steam; and cooling the steam to produce purified water and carbon dioxide. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110020208 | Carbon Ion Pump for Removal of Carbon Dioxide from Combustion Gas and Other Gas Mixtures - A novel method and system of separating carbon dioxide from flue gas is introduced. Instead of relying on large temperature or pressure changes to remove carbon dioxide from a solvent used to absorb it from flue gas, the ion pump method, as disclosed herein, dramatically increases the concentration of dissolved carbonate ion in solution. This increases the overlying vapor pressure of carbon dioxide gas, permitting carbon dioxide to be removed from the downstream side of the ion pump as a pure gas. The ion pumping may be obtained from reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, thermal desalination methods, or an ion pump system having an oscillating flow in synchronization with an induced electric field. | 01-27-2011 |
