20100086983PROCESS FOR ACCELERATED CAPTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE - The present invention generally relates to the removal of carbon dioxide from a gas stream, particularly a flue gas, hydrogen gas from a reformer, natural gas, or gas from a cement kiln. Immobilized enzymes for use in carbon capture and other systems are also disclosed.04-08-2010
20100291415Methods for increasing carbon monoxide tolerance in fuel cells - Disclosed are methods for improving performance of fuel cells employing reformate fuels. The disclosed methods include employing a magnetically modified fuel cell and contacting the fuel cell anode with a reformate fuel stream that contains an amount of oxygen effective to increase carbon monoxide tolerance of the fuel cell.11-18-2010
20110039164BIOANODE AND BIOCATHODE STACK ASSEMBLIES - A biofuel cell device for generating electrical current. The device includes a fuel manifold having a face, and at least one cavity in the face defining a fuel reservoir, an inlet in fluid communication with the reservoir for flow of fuel fluid into the manifold to fill the reservoir and an outlet in fluid communication with the reservoir for flow of fuel fluid out of the manifold. The device has an anode assembly including at least one bioanode positioned for contact with fuel fluid in the fuel reservoir, and a cathode assembly including at least one cathode positioned for flow of fuel fluid through the bioanode to the cathode. The device includes a controller operatively connected to the anode assembly and the cathode assembly for controlling the output of electrical current from the biofuel cell device.02-17-2011

20100092779MAGNET MATERIALS AND METALLIC PARTICLES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - New magnetic materials and new metallic particles, new methods of making and using same, for example, to prepare magnetically modified electrodes and fuel cells, and coated metallic particles in general. The present invention discloses methods of preparation of cheaper and more uniformly sized magnetic and metallic microparticles formed from the exemplary materials magnetite, nickel, samarium cobalt and neodymium iron boron. In addition, the present invention discloses methodology for preparation and use of coated magnetic and metallic microparticles, in particular, exemplary siloxyl coating of magnetic particles, metallic particles, and magnetic and metallic microparticles with an exemplary silane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, that is cross linked thereon. In addition, methods and results are described for preparing and using larger siloxyl coated samarium cobalt milliparticles. Coated magnetic milliparticles and magnetic microparticles are useful as component of composites that are applied to electrodes to alter electrochemical fluxes across those electrodes, as well as to alter chemical reactions on surfaces of those electrodes, when magnetically susceptible reactions occur there.04-15-2010
