Title: Synthesising carbon compounds
Inventor: DAVID LESLIE MCNEIGHT
IPC: C10G2/00
Filed: 2016-07-07
Abstract: A method for synthesising carbon compounds 10 comprises: generating electricity from a renewable source 11, e.g. nuclear or solar power; recovering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere 12; generating a supply of hydrogen 13; and reacting the recovered carbon dioxide with the hydrogen in an exothermic reaction 14, wherein recovering the carbon dioxide is powered using electricity E and thermal Th energy from the exothermic reaction. Carbon dioxide may be recovered from the atmosphere using a sorbent material which may comprise a weakly basic ion exchange resin with adsorbing amine groups such as amine functionalised cellulose. Hydrogen may be generated from water, using electrolysis. The sorbent material may also adsorb water from the atmosphere which may be desorbed and used to generate the hydrogen. Desorption may take place into steam. The recycled thermal energy may be used to heat the sorbent material to initiate desorption, which may take place in the temperature range 80-130 degrees C. An iron, cobalt or ruthenium catalyst may be used in the exothermic reaction. Sufficient hydrogen and carbon dioxide may be generated during daylight hours to continue the exothermic reaction overnight, avoiding the need to start and stop the reaction. Overnight thermal energy may be stored, for use in the carbon dioxide recovery process, in a phase-change material or a high thermal capacity material such as concrete or insulated tanks of water or water and glycol.

Title: Intelligent automotive air-quality assessment and management
Inventor: NING DUAN
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2016-09-23
Abstract: A system is provided for controlling the internal air-quality of a vehicle. If the speed of the vehicle is not above a predetermined low-speed threshold, internal air-quality from an internal air-quality sensor 302 is compared with external air-quality from an external air-quality sensor 304. If internal air-quality is better than external air-quality, a ventilation control mechanism 316 is signaled to utilize a recirculating-air mode in which the ventilation control mechanism 316 either stays in an already initiated recirculation-air mode or switches to the recirculating-air mode. If internal air-quality is worse than external air-quality, the ventilation control mechanism 316 is signaled to utilize a fresh-air mode in which the ventilation control mechanism either stays in an already initiated fresh-air mode or switches to the fresh-air mode. External air quality information may be shared among users by uploading the external air quality information to a cloud-based air quality aggregation and assessment mechanism 320 to generate a transient air-quality map having near-future external air quality information which may be retrieved, eg at higher speeds, based on vehicle speed and direction.

IPC: H04B10/54
Filed: 2016-11-23
Abstract: A fibre-optic communication system comprises a light source 12 to generate light and a transceiver 6 in optical communication with the light source 12 so as to receive the light 22 therefrom. The transceiver 6 comprises a control input 30 and a reflector 28 to generate an amplitude modulated light signal 24 by selectively reflecting the light received 22 from the light source 12 into an optical fibre 8 using the reflector 28 according to information received 32 at the control input 30. The reflector 28 may be moveable (42 fig.3) to selectively direct light into the optical fibre 8 or a barrier (50 fig.4) may be controlled to selectively block light transmitted into the optical fibre 8. A light detector 14 receives the amplitude modulated light signal 20 from the optical fibre 8 and detects an amplitude of the amplitude modulated light signal 20 to extract the information. The fibre-optic communication system may be for an aircraft (2 fig.1) in which the light source is positioned in a temperature-conditioned area of the aircraft and the transceiver is positioned in a non-temperature-conditioned area of the aircraft.

Title: Oil pressure regulator for electrical submersible pump motor
Inventor: RYAN P SEMPLE
IPC: F04D29/06
Filed: 2015-03-25
Abstract: An electrical submersible pump assembly has a pump driven by a motor. A pressure compensator has first and second bellows units axially separated from each other. Each of the first and second bellows units are movable between an increased volume position and a decreased volume position and have a bias toward the decreased volume position. The bias of the first bellows unit is greater than the bias of the second bellows unit. The greater bias of the first bellows unit over the second bellows unit causes the second bellows unit to be at a full volume position at a lower level of the pressure differential than the level at which the first bellows unit is at the full volume position.

The second database is searched to obtain a second set of result entries. Finally, result entries of the second set of result entries are added to the bins according to their attributes. The member databases of the group may share at least one category of entries. The bins may be statistical bins, each bin containing result entries with attributes in a predefined parameter range for that attribute. The data in the databases may be constrained from being transferred from another data owner and said data may be aggregated without identifying the origin database.
