| 20090182255 | Device and Method for Treating Ear Injuries - An improved non-invasive ear compression dressing or splinting device is provided for prevention, treatment and recurrence of injuries to the outer ear such as auricular hematoma. The device includes a structure including a pair of first and second pads, and a pressure applying assembly. The pads are assembled in pairs in opposing, facing relation to compressibly engage the injured portion of an external ear. The pressure applying assembly includes an adjustment mechanism for forcing one pad assembly towards the other in a continuously adjustable, controlled manner creating a compression of the ear tissues required for proper healing between the two opposing pads. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20090294372 | INHIBITION OF WATER FORMED SCALE IN ACID CONDITIONS - The current invention relates to the inhibition of scale deposits in an acidic slurry or solution. The current invention uses an aqueous synthetic mixture comprising a phosphate, phosphonate, anionic polymer, or combinations thereof in the slurry and/or solution to inhibit scale during the processing of ore. The production of scale in an acidic environment is difficult because of the acidic solution neutralizing most known inhibitors. The claimed invention has a significant decrease in the scale production allowing for reduced down time of systems for de-scaling procedures. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090294373 | INHIBITION OF WATER FORMED SCALE IN ACID CONDITIONS - The current invention relates to the inhibition of scale deposits in a slurry or solution under acidic conditions. The current invention uses an aqueous synthetic mixture comprising a phosphate, phosphonate, anionic polymer, or combinations thereof in the slurry and/or solution to inhibit scale deposition from acidic process streams. The control of scale under acidic conditions is difficult because the acidic environment renders most known inhibitors ineffective. The claimed invention causes a significant decrease in the scale generated allowing for reduced down time of systems for de-scaling procedures and thus increasing production. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20100170855 | MODIFICATION OF PRECIPITATE MORPHOLOGY AND SETTLING CHARACTERISTICS IN ACID CONDITIONS - The current invention relates to the modification of precipitate formed from an acidic slurry or solution resulting in decreased settling times and final solids bed volumes. The current invention uses an aqueous synthetic mixture comprising a phosphate, phosphonate, anionic polymer, anionic/cationic polymer blend or combinations thereof in the slurry and/or solution to improve clarification of the process stream. The claimed invention has a significant effect on precipitate morphology consequently improving settling characteristics and allowing for superior solid-liquid separation and process throughput. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20080289492 | Method and system for treating metal-containing fluid emissions - A system and associated method for removing metal, including metal in vapor form, from high temperature fluid emissions such as may occur at the exhaust of furnaces or thermal treatment equipment. One embodiment is the Integrated Metal Emissions Control System (IMECS™) incorporating both a Steel Screen Particulate (SSP) Filter System and a Perlite Based Sorbent (PBS) System. IMECS™ uses the SSP Filter System, with pore sizes down to one micron, to capture toxic metal particulate materials and the PBS System to capture vapor phase metals using surface-modified perlite. Using the IMECS™, EPA-listed heavy metals have been removed from representative high-temperature emissions in field tests to easily meet the NESHAP standards. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090165649 | METHOD OF TREATING FLUID CONTAINING VAPOR PHASE METALS, VAPOR PHASE METAL COMPOUNDS, OR BOTH - Perlite, particularly, perlite in powdered form, is employed to adsorb metals and metal compounds from fluids, in particular gases at elevated temperature. In select embodiments, powdered perlite is treated to expand its surface area and injected into a fluid stream, such as flue gas, held for a specific retention period, and removed for subsequent disposal. In other embodiments powdered perlite is provided in an adsorption bed. Fluid containing metals or metal compounds in vapor form is permitted to pass through the adsorption bed until the expanded perlite powder is saturated (exhausted) with the metal and metal compounds adsorbed thereon. The perlite is then replaced, disposing of the exhausted perlite. Treatment of perlite by boiling with sulfuric acid or suspending in a suspension of sulfur in carbon disulfide has been shown to significantly expand the surface area of perlite, thus increasing the efficiency of the process. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20090293725 | STEADY STATE TRACKING DESORPTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A preferred embodiment steady state tracking desorption system achieves steady tracking of either a fixed sorbate output set point, or a set point that changes over time. The system includes an electrically heated thermal adsorption/desorption device. A temperature sensor senses the temperature of an adsorbent material within the adsorption/desorption device. A sorbate sensor senses a sorbate level from an outlet of the adsorption/desorption device. A power sensor senses the power supplied by the desorption device. A controller interprets levels sensed by the temperature sensor, the sorbate sensor and the power sensor and provides a signal to achieve steady set point tracking of a sorbate level from the outlet of the adsorption/desorption device. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110132031 | GAS PURIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LIQUEFACTION OF DILUTE GAS COMPONENTS - The invention provides gas purification methods and systems for the recovery and liquefaction of low boiling point organic and inorganic gases, such as methane, propane, CO | 06-09-2011 |
