Patent CA-2630873-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOYER JOHN DELMORE
IPC: F21V29/70
Filed: 2008-05-07
Abstract: A device and method for retrofitting a light fixture from use with a lamp socket that employs an incandescent or metal halide lamp, to use with another lamp assembly. The lamp fixture has a collar with a base and an annular outer wall extending out from the base. The LED  lamp device includes a neck base having an annular outer wall having a shaped outside surface that is placed into direct surface contact with the inner surface of the annular outer wall of the collar, to establish an effective heat-transferring interface. The shaped outer surface of the neck base provides proper fitting of the LED lamp device into the lighting fixture, and provides a heat-transferring interface over substantially all of the outer surface of the neck base, to dissipate heat away from the LED module. Aluminum material provides high thermal conductivity, light weight, availability, and low cost.

Title: Two-stage quench scrubber
Inventor: REDDY SATISH
IPC: B01D35/18
Filed: 2006-12-14
Abstract: Contemplated configurations and methods for flue gas treatment comprise a quench section and a scrubbing section that are configured and operated to avoid net condensation of water from the quenched flue gas in the scrubbing section. Consequently, the active agent in the scrubbing medium can be maintained at high concentration and will so allow continuous removal of SOX and NOX to very low concentrations. Moreover, as the scrubbing medium is not diluted by condensate, loss of active agent can be substantially reduced. Especially preferred systems will reduce SO2 concentrations in flue gas to less than 5 ppm, and more typically less than 3 ppm while substantially reducing water and reagent consumption.
