20130225873 | Promoted Ruthenium Catalyzed Conversion of Syngas to Alcohols - This invention concerns a promoted catalyst system for making one or more alkanols from synthesis gas. The catalyst system contains a ruthenium compound and a halogen promoter dispersed in a low-melting tetraorganophosphonium salt. The halogen promoter is a compound capable of generating HX (where X═Cl, Br, or I) under reaction conditions. The invention also concerns a process for selectively preparing one or more alkanols from synthesis gas using the promoted catalyst system. | 08-29-2013 |
20140243435 | Production of Methanol and Ethanol from CO or CO2 - This invention relates to a process for making methanol and ethanol from carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The process includes contacting a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen with a catalyst system containing a ruthenium compound—and optionally, a chloride or bromide-containing compound—dispersed in a low-melting tetraorganophosphonium chloride or bromide salt under conditions effective to produce methanol and ethanol. The invention also relates to a process for making methanol and ethanol from carbon monoxide and water using the same catalyst system. | 08-28-2014 |

20140203760 | TURBINE ENGINE HYBRID POWER SUPPLY - A method for controlling a hybrid machine is disclosed. The hybrid machine may be equipped with a turbine engine, a generator connected in series with the turbine engine, an electrical energy storage device, and a motor drivingly connected to a power output component for the hybrid machine. A controller may receive a power demand signal, determine a power level in the electrical energy storage device, determine available inertial energy stored at least in rotating components of the turbine engine and the generator, and provide one or more control signals to selectively control powering the turbine engine to full power, selectively turn off all fuel to the turbine engine, selectively store excess energy as electrical energy by directing excess electrical energy from the generator to the electrical energy storage device, and selectively store excess energy as inertial energy. | 07-24-2014 |

20100170666 | Heat Exchanger and Method of Making and Using the Same - A method of transferring heat from a warmer stream of gas to a cooler stream of gas comprises flowing the warmer stream of gas through a heat exchanger in a manner such that the warmer stream of gas converges as the warmer stream of gas flows through the heat exchanger. The method further comprises flowing the cooler stream of gas through the heat exchanger in a manner such that the cooler stream of gas diverges as the cooler stream of gas flows through the heat exchanger. Another method comprises forming a heat exchanger by solid state welding a plurality of laminate members to each other. The heat exchanger may be a heatsink. The heat exchanger may also condense gas into a liquid. | 07-08-2010 |
