20150093573 | Self-Bonding Conductive Wire - A self-bonding conductive wire and methods in which it is made and used. The wire comprises a conductor, an insulator, and a self-bonding outer coating. The self-bonding outer coating is a polyester polyether block copolymer. The insulator is an ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, one or more layers of which may be used to insulate the conductor. The self-bonding capabilities of the wire may be activated by heating the wire, causing the outer coating to thermoplastically deform and fuse, allowing for the creation of self-supporting structures such as large bobbin-less coils. The use of the polyester polyether block copolymer for the self-bonding outer coating is superior to other materials, in which significant degradation of qualitative properties following self-bonding is observed, resulting in a superior self-bonding conductive wire. | 04-02-2015 |

20080251464 | Process for Separating Solutes and Water from Aqueous Solutions with Gas Recycling - Water can be separated from solutes in aqueous solutions by a process of forming water clathrates of gases under high pressure and low temperature conditions. The present invention outlines a series of processes where a low pressure stream of clathrate forming gas is entrained in a low pressure stream of water and carried to a region of high pressure where clathrates are formed. The clathrate crystals are then collected and separated from the solutes. The clathrate crystals are then taken to conditions that allow the clathrate to decompose to water and gas. The gas is maintained at elevated pressure and recycled to be used again as a feedstock in the process of the present invention. | 10-16-2008 |
20110171105 | System and Process for Capturing, Concentrating, or Crystallizing a Target Compound from a Mixture - The invention concerns a capture tank for capturing a captive target compound from a gaseous and/or vaporous mixture comprising at least the captive target compound and one other material, or for capturing, concentrating or crystallising a target compound from a liquid mixture or solution comprising the target compound and at least one other material, the capture tank comprising an enclosure having a top region, a bottom region and at least one side defining the enclosure, the enclosure being at least partly open in its top region in order to communicate in use of the capture tank with the gaseous and/or vaporous mixture and for permitting ingress of a gaseous and/or vaporous mixture into the enclosure; the enclosure communicating in its bottom region with a reservoir for receiving the captured captive target compound; having means associated with its at least one side and/or its bottom region for permitting egress from the enclosure of the gaseous and/or vaporous mixture in at least partially captive target compound-depleted form; and having means for sparging at least partially through the enclosure from top to bottom a liquid mixture or solution for entraining the gaseous and/or vaporous mixture in the enclosure and carrying the entrained gaseous and/or vaporous mixture towards the bottom region of the enclosure, and a process for its operation. | 07-14-2011 |

20140205524 | Gas Component Extraction from Gas Mixture - A process for extracting a target gas component from a gas mixture in an apparatus having a pair of capture and release sections is provided. The pair of capture and release sections includes a sorbent capture section and a sorbent release section, each of the sorbent capture section and sorbent release section having a high surface area medium and a sorbent contained therein. A gas mixture is directed through a flow path, the flow path directing the gas mixture through the sorbent release section followed by the sorbent capture section, wherein the sorbent within the pair of capture and release sections extracts the target gas component and reduces the target gas component in the gas mixture. The sorbent is directed through a recirculation path, the recirculation path directing sorbent from said collection tank of the sorbent capture section to the entry point of the sorbent release section and directing sorbent from the collection tank of the sorbent release section to the entry point of the sorbent capture section, thereby recycling the sorbent. | 07-24-2014 |

20160067649 | Process of Gas Containment - A process for capturing a target gas from a flowing gas mixture by use of at least a pair of capture and release sections together with a discharge section is described. The at least one pair of capture and release sections includes a target gas capture section and a target gas release section in fluid communication with one another. The target gas discharge section is in fluid communication with the target gas capture section. The capture, release and discharge sections have a high surface area medium and a fluid contained therein, and include a fluid entry point at a first end and a collection tank at a second end. The process comprises the steps of: directing a gas mixture through the target gas release section followed by the target gas capture section, wherein the fluid contained within the pair of capture and release sections allows for the target gas to be contained within a defined area between the capture and release sections; directing fluid through a first recirculation path from the collection tank of the target gas capture section to the entry point of the target gas release section and directing fluid from the collection tank of the target gas release section to the entry point of the target gas capture section, thereby recycling the fluid. The pair of capture and release sections include a concentration gradient of at least one of the target gas and the fluid. Further steps are: directing the fluid through a flow path, from the collection tank of the target gas capture section, heating the fluid and passing it through the discharge section to thereby release the target gas from the fluid within the discharge section due to the reduced solubility; and directing the fluid depleted of the target gas through a second recirculation path from the collection tank of the discharge section, and then to the entry point of the capture section. An apparatus is also disclosed. | 03-10-2016 |

20150245461 | NEGATIVE ION-BASED NEUTRAL BEAM INJECTOR - A negative ion-based neutral beam injector comprising a negative ion source, accelerator and neutralizer to produce about a 5 MW neutral beam with energy of about 0.50 to 1.0 MeV. The ions produced by the ion source are pre-accelerated before injection into a high energy accelerator by an electrostatic multi-aperture grid pre-accelerator, which is used to extract ion beams from the plasma and accelerate to some fraction of the required beam energy. The beam from the ion source passes through a pair of deflecting magnets, which enable the beam to shift off axis before entering the high energy accelerator. After acceleration to full energy, the beam enters the neutralizer where it is partially converted into a neutral beam. The remaining ion species are separated by a magnet and directed into electrostatic energy converters. The neutral beam passes through a gate valve and enters a plasma chamber. | 08-27-2015 |

20150236984 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RELIABLE STORE-AND-FORWARD DATA HANDLING BY ENCODED INFORMATION READING TERMINALS - A data collection system for, and methods of, providing reliable store-and-forward data handling by encoded information reading terminals can utilize ad-hoc peer-to-peer (i.e., terminal-to-terminal) connections in order to store data that is normally stored on a single terminal only, in a redundant manner on two or more terminals. Each portable encoded information reading terminal can be configured so that when it captures data, a software application causes the terminal to search out nearby peer terminals that can store and/or forward the data to other peer terminals or to a data collection server, resulting in the data having been stored by one or more peer terminals that are immediately or not immediately accessible by the data-originating terminal. | 08-20-2015 |
