Title: System and method for reducing nitrogen oxide in exhaust
Inventor: BAO XIAYING
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2015-04-09
Abstract: A plasma assisted nitrogen oxide (NOx) abatement system includes a power generation device 102, such as an engine, a plasma reactor 104 and a NOx abatement reactor 106. The plasma reactor 104 forms a hydrogen-element containing fuel, such as methane and syngas with nitrogen to in situ produce ammonia. The NOx abatement reactor 106 is loaded with a NH3-SCR catalyst to reduce NOx with ammonia to nitrogen. An exhaust conduit 108 delivers an exhaust stream containing NOx from the power generation device 102 to the NOx abatement reactor 106. The ammonia produced in the plasma reactor 104 is also delivered into the NOx abatement reactor 106 through a conduit 110. The NOx contained in the exhaust stream reacts with the ammonia in the presence of the NH3-SCR catalyst, and is converted to non-toxic nitrogen.

Title: Timeline from slumber to collection of RFID tags in a well environment
Inventor: MARK W ROBERSON
IPC: G06K19/077
Filed: 2014-12-29
Abstract: Sensor assemblies are deployed in a borehole for a well, such as an oil well or other hydrocarbon recovery well. The sensor assemblies are coupled to a casing string (e.g., the exterior of the casing), and may detect RFID tags or other properties of material (e.g., fluids) in an annulus surrounding the casing string. Limited battery power for the sensor assemblies and for assemblies for communicating sensed data may be a concern, and the sensor assemblies and communication assemblies may therefore operate in different modes of varying power consumption. In certain modes, sensing operations are curtailed (or expanded) depending on particular requirements. In one case, sensor operation is expanded during active portions of a cementing operation, and curtailed prior to and thereafter. Different triggering events may cause the sensor assembly to operate in different modes at different sensing frequencies.
