Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080214092METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT OF MAGNETIC PERMEABILITY OF A MATERIAL - A system for determining the magnetic permeability of a material is provided. Two electrical inductors formed as primary and secondary concentric coils share a common magnetic core space. An AC voltage applied to the primary coil creates a magnetic flux in the core proportional to the magnetic permeability of a sample of the material positioned within the core space. The magnetic flux induces an AC voltage in the secondary coil indicative of the sample magnetic permeability. When the material is a magnetorheological fluid, the magnetic permeability is proportional to the concentration of magnetic particles in the sample and can be back-calculated from the amplitude of the secondary voltage signal. Sensitivity and resolution can be increased by using two identical sets of coils wherein a reference material forms a core for the primary set and the MR fluid sample forms a core for the secondary set.09-04-2008
20100079137METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASUREMENT OF MAGNETIC PERMEABILITY OF A MATERIAL - A system for determining magnetic permeability of a material. Two electrical inductors formed as primary and secondary concentric coils share a common magnetic core space. A first AC voltage applied to the primary coil creates a magnetic flux in the core proportional to the magnetic permeability of the material. The magnetic flux induces an AC voltage in the secondary coil indicative of the apparent magnetic permeability of the sample. The apparent permeability is corrected for conductivity by imposing a second AC voltage and resistor in series across first and second electrodes disposed in the material. When the material is a magnetorheological fluid, the magnetic permeability is proportional to the concentration of magnetic particles in the sample and can be back-calculated from the amplitude of the secondary voltage signal.04-01-2010

20090166259METAL-BASED COATINGS FOR INHIBITING METAL CATALYZED COKE FORMATION IN HYDROCARBON CONVERSION PROCESSES - A coating applied to at least a portion of the surfaces of reactors, reactor internals, other reactor components, and/or heater tubes is provided in order to minimize the formation of metal catalyzed coke in hydrocarbon conversion processes operating at temperatures at about 350° C. (662° F.) or greater and in reducing environments. These coatings may comprise Nickel coatings or complexes thereof, such as Ni—Al, Ni—Cr/Cr carbide, as well as aluminum painted coatings that are applied in a reduction cure process (e.g., application temperatures of about 600° C. (1112° F.)). Additionally, where H07-02-2009
