20120137395 | SCANNED PROBE MICROSCOPE WITHOUT INTERFERENCE OR GEOMETRIC CONSTRAINT FOR SINGLE OR MULTIPLE PROBE OPERATION IN AIR OR LIQUID - A method and a device permit scanned probe microscopes with a non-optical feedback mechanism ( | 05-31-2012 |
20150049416 | Aqueous-Based Electric Double-Layer Capacitor - An electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) and method for manufacturing thereof. The ELDC includes at least one capacitor cell with two parallel current collectors, two opposite polarity electrodes, a separator, a rigid dielectric frame, and at least one evacuation mechanism. Each electrode is disposed on a respective current collector, and impregnated with aqueous electrolyte. The frame is disposed along the perimeter on the surface of a current collector and enclosing the electrodes. The evacuation mechanism removes superfluous fluid material from the capacitor cell interior. The evacuation mechanism may be a compartment in the frame, operative to collect residual electrolyte that seeps out from the electrodes, or a capillary formed within the frame and extending into a portion of the electrode, the capillary composed of a porous hydrophobic material and operative to evacuate discharged gases from the electrodes out of the EDLC. | 02-19-2015 |
20160042877 | AQUEOUS-BASED ELECTRIC DOUBLE-LAYER CAPACITOR - An electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) and method for manufacturing thereof. The ELDC includes at least one capacitor cell with two parallel current collectors, two opposite polarity electrodes, a separator, and a rigid dielectric frame. Each electrode is disposed on a respective current collector and impregnated with aqueous electrolyte. The frame is disposed along the perimeter on the surface of a current collector and enclosing the electrodes. The two electrodes of an individual cell are configured asymmetrically, such as being composed of different materials, having different weights, and/or having different thicknesses. The electrode material may include: activated carbon, a transitional metal oxide, a conductive polymer, and/or graphene. | 02-11-2016 |

20090265295 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF A PROCESS HAVING PARAMETER-BASED FAULTS - An apparatus for the analysis of a process having parameter-based faults includes: a parameter value inputter configured for inputting values of at least one process parameter, a fault detector, configured for detecting the occurrence of a fault, a learning file creator associated with the parameter value inputter and the fault detector, configured for separating the input values into a first learning file and a second learning file, the first learning file comprising input values from a collection period preceding each of the detected faults, and the second learning file comprising input values input outside the collection periods, and a learning file analyzer associated with the learning file creator, configured for performing a separate statistical analysis of the first and second learning files, thereby to assess a process status. | 10-22-2009 |
20100176063 | METHOD FOR COALESCENCE INDUCED LIQUID-LIQUID SEPARATIONS AND APPARATUS THEREOF - A method and apparatus for separating immiscible liquids effectively are provided in the present invention. Such method and apparatus may allow coalescing of relatively small-sized droplets into larger droplets for easing and improving the degree of separation thereafter. The method may be defined by a system of equations describing the requirements and conditions imposed on the kinetics of droplet breaking and coalescence as functions of properties of the involved liquids, involved energy, and means for inducing mixing energy into the mixture. According to the method, such means may include viscosity, interfacial tension, droplet diameter distribution, average droplet diameter, average volumetric droplet diameter, concentration of the dispersed liquid in the coalescing apparatus, restricting pressure of the electrostatic double layer surrounding the interfacial boundary of the droplets, and turbulent energy dissipation distribution per volume within the coalescing apparatus. | 07-15-2010 |
20120305051 | FLOATING SOLAR POWER PLANT - A floating solar power plant includes a frame floating at the surface of a water body, where the frame includes at least one cell, which is secured by at least one flexible tie to at least one floating support, which is secured to a shore of the water body by at least one suspension, with the length of each suspension selected so that the floating supports remain at the surface of the water body under all conditions of seasonal variation of water level in the water body. | 12-06-2012 |
20150299821 | MIXING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SOLVENT EXTRACTION, ESPECIALLY IN HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESSES - A system and method are disclosed for mixing a suspension.
