Title: A light guide apparatus
Inventor: CORNELISSEN HUGO JOHAN
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 2010-04-16
Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a light guide apparatus based on diffraction gratings. The apparatus com-prises a light guide plate (11) comprising a first diffraction grating (13) located on a first surface of or inside the light guide plate (11); a first light source (12), coupled to a first side of the light guide plate (11); wherein the first diffraction grating (11) is con-figured to extract the light generated by the first light source (12) from the first surface of the light guide plate (11). Since the first diffraction grating (13) is invisibly small, users hardly notice any change of the light guide (11). When the light guide apparatus of the present invention is used as a book reader, the dark area produced when lifting the book reader in a direction away from the objects to be read is smaller than that of existing light guide apparatus based on microstructures, since the light exit angle is rela-tively small when using a diffraction grating.

Title: Monitoring devices and processes based on transformation, destruction and conversion of nanostructures
Inventor: PATEL GORDHANBHAI
IPC: B82B1/00
Filed: 2010-09-10
Abstract: A large number of properties of nanostructures depend on their size, shape and many other parameters. As the size of a nanostructure decreases, there is a rapid change in many properties. When the nanostructure is completely destroyed, those properties essentially disappear. Systems based on changes in properties of nanostructures due to the destruction of nanostructures are proposed. The systems can be used for monitoring the total exposure to organic, inorganic, organometallic and biological compounds and agents using analytical methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an IGCC power plant process having integrated CO2 separation. A process gas containing H2 and CO2 is separated into technically pure hydrogen and a fraction rich in CO2 by means of pressure swing adsorption (PSA), wherein the fraction rich in CO2 is released as PSA offgas by means of a pressure drop. The hydrogen that is generated is burned in at least one gas turbine utilized for generating electrical power, wherein the exhaust gas of the gas turbine is utilized for generating steam in a heat recovery boiler, said steam being expanded in a steam turbine process also utilized for generating electrical power. The PSA offgas is burned in a separate boiler using technically pure oxygen, wherein a smoke gas having a smoke gas temperature of greater than 1000°C is generated. The smoke gas is utilized for superheating the steam fed into the steam turbine process and/or for generating a more pressurized steam for the steam turbine process. A superheated high-pressure steam having a pressure of greater than 120 bar and a temperature of greater than 520°C is generated for the steam turbine process from the waste heat of the gas turbine and the waste heat of the smoke gas.

Abstract: A Multiscale Finite Volume (MSFV) method is provided to efficiently solve large heterogeneous problems; it is usually employed for pressure equations and delivers conservative flux fields to be used in transport problems. It relies on the hypothesis that the fine-scale problem can be described by a set of local solutions coupled by a conservative coarse-scale problem. In numerically challenging cases, a more accurate localization approximation is used to obtain a good approximation of the fine-scale solution. According to an embodiment, a method is provided to iteratively improve the boundary conditions of the local problems, and is responsive to the data structure of the underlying MSFV method and employs a Krylov-subspace projection method to obtain an unconditionally stable scheme and accelerate convergence. In one embodiment the MSFV operator is used. Alternately, the MSFV operator is combined with an operator derived from the problem solved to construct the conservative flux field.

Title: Method and device for the absorptive removal of carbon dioxide from biogas
Inventor: ENGELKE STEPHAN
IPC: B01D53/62
Filed: 2012-09-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the absorptive removal of carbon dioxide from biogas using a scrubbing liquid in which carbon dioxide is chemically bound and a device suitable for carrying out the method. Proceeding from the disadvantages of the known prior art, a method is to be provided with which the loss of methane is decreased. For this purpose, as a solution it is proposed that the loaded scrubbing liquid occurring after the absorption is heated to a temperature at which liberation of CO2 begins. Immediately thereafter, the loaded scrubbing liquid is fed to at least one centrifugal separator (11) for separating off the gas phase from the liquid phase, wherein methane and dissolved fractions of CO2 escape via the gas phase. After separation is complete, the gas phase is passed into the absorber unit (1) and the liquid phase is further heated to the temperature required for desorption and fed to the desorption unit (16) for regeneration.

Abstract: A media station can be broken-down and reconfigured such that the individual parts of the media station can be used in multiple configurations. The media station includes a central technology backbone that houses the computer hardware and media modules required for the type of monitor/media sharing desired. The technology backbone includes magnetic coupling members that increase the options for the different types of work tables that can be connected to the technology backbone dependent upon the user's needs and the size of the group. The ability to separate the work tables from the central technology backbone allows for flexibility in the styles of table used as well as the potential for cross room cohesiveness and economies of scale in unit types. When the media station is not in use, users can separate the individual work tables from the backbone and use the tables in a conventional manner.
