Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090277325ELECTROSTATIC PARTICULATE SEPARATION FOR EMISSION TREATMENT SYSTEMS - An emission treatment system includes a separation device having a vessel that includes an inlet for receiving an emission stream having entrained solid particles. A first outlet from the vessel discharges captured solid particles from the emission stream and a second outlet from the vessel discharges a clean stream having fewer entrained solid particles than the emission stream received into the separation device. A particle collector is fluidly connected with the separation device and includes a collection portion for capturing solid particles from the emission stream.11-12-2009

20120101956AUTONOMOUS VALIDATION OF RECEIVED SHIPMENTS - Advance shipment data associated with a shipment is received at an inventory controller device. The advance shipment data is verified. A data collection model is generated based upon the advance shipment data. The generated data collection model is stored within a memory. The shipment is autonomously validated by the inventory controller device using the generated data collection model in response to receipt of the shipment. An indication of a target storage location within a receiving facility is generated for each container of the validated shipment using a defined location topology model of the receiving facility including available storage locations.04-26-2012

20100230329CONTINUOUS GRAVITY ASSISTED ULTRASONIC COAL CLEANER - An improved system and method for separating combustible organic particles from noncombustible inorganic particles in coal, in preparation for combustion. The coal is size-reduced and size-graded to small pieces which are then supplied to input ends of water-immersed descending slides having ultrasonic transducers for vibratory separation of inorganic and organic particles. The slides have different longitudinal lengths with angles of declination configured to achieve time-differential exposure to the ultrasonic vibratory energy, with smaller coal pieces being subjected to shorter time ultrasonic vibratory exposure. In one preferred form, longitudinally spaced turbidity sensors along the slide provide signals used to control selected ultrasonic transducers upon substantially complete cleaning of the coal pieces.09-16-2010

Bruce H. Middleswart, Phoenix, AZ US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080276555Foundation for modular structures - An improvement for building perimeter-wall foundations is created by attaching galvanized-steel corrugated panels to an in-place structure. The freely hanging bottom edges of the panels, which have continuous deformation specific to the enhancement of bearing and anchorage within concrete, are cast in-situ with footing concrete, so becoming a cast-in-place perimeter-wall foundation, capable of residential-scale bearing and shear loadings. A load bearing pier support is included for load bearing supporting large or multi-unit modular structures.11-13-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090268877METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALIBRATING AN X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY MEASUREMENT - A method and a system for calibrating an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement are described. The method includes using an X-ray beam to generate an XPS signal from a sample and normalizing the XPS signal with a measured or estimated flux of the X-ray beam. The system includes an X-ray source for generating an X-ray beam and a sample holder for positioning a sample in a pathway of the X-ray beam. A detector is included for collecting an XPS signal generated by bombarding the sample with the X-ray beam. Also included are a flux detector for determining a measured or estimated flux of the X-ray beam and a computing system for normalizing the XPS signal with the measured or estimated flux of the X-ray beam.10-29-2009

20100059375Metal salt hydrogen sulfide sensor - A hydrogen sulfide sensor is made from a metal acetate film, such as a thin film of copper acetate, formed on a set of monitoring electrodes, by evaporation of a metal acetate aqueous solution disposed on the electrodes, for detecting a weak gas, such as hydrogen sulfide, carried in a gas carrier, such as a nitrogen carrier, for detecting low concentration of the weak gas, such as ten ppm, when the conductivity of the film changes by several orders of magnitude, that produces a metal sulfide, such as copper sulfide, that is a good electrical conductor at room temperature, for example, as the metal acetate is converted directly to a metal sulfide upon exposure to hydrogen sulfide.03-11-2010
20110236569SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTING OR REDUCING CONTAMINATION ENHANCED LASER INDUCED DAMAGE (C-LID) TO OPTICAL COMPONENTS USING GAS PHASE ADDITIVES - Systems and methods for preventing or reducing contamination enhanced laser induced damage (C-LID) to optical components are provided including a housing enclosing an optical component, a container configured to hold a gas phase additive and operatively coupled to the housing; and a delivery system configured to introduce the gas phase additive from the container into the housing and to maintain the gas phase additive at a pre-selected partial pressure within the housing. The gas phase additive may have a greater affinity for the optical component than does a contaminant and may be present in an amount sufficient to inhibit laser induced damage resulting from contact between the contaminant and the optical component. The housing may be configured to maintain a sealed gas environment or vacuum.09-29-2011
20110287551METAL SALT HYDROGEN SULFIDE SENSOR - A sensor made from a metal salt film, formed on a set of monitoring electrodes, by evaporation of a metal salt aqueous solution disposed on the electrodes, is used for detecting a weak acid. Low concentrations of the weak acid, such as ten ppm, are indicated as the conductivity of the film changes by several orders of magnitude, as a result of reaction of the weak acid with the metal salt, as the metal salt converts to a metal reaction product upon exposure to the weak acid.11-24-2011
