IPC: C07C29/152
Filed: 2012-02-14
Abstract: A process is described for the conversion of synthesis gas to methanol by contacting a gaseous stream comprising synthesis gas with a catalyst in a reactor having one or more reactor tubes, wherein the catalyst is disposed within the reactor tubes in catalyst carriers each having a skirt and a seal, passing unreacted reactant and product out of the catalyst and upwardly between an inner surface of the skirt and the catalyst until they reach the seal where they are directed over the end of the skirt and caused to flow downwardly between the outer surface of the skirt and the inner surface of the reactor tube where heat transfer takes place; repeating these steps in subsequent catalyst carriers; and removing product from the outlet.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices related to removing fluids from a patient are provided. In one instance, fluid is removed from the patient and delivered to a canister using reduced pressure. Reduced pressure is supplied to the canister via a reduced-pressure delivery conduit that includes a moisture processing device and a hydrophobic filter. The moisture processing device condenses moisture from the air to prevent condensation from occluding the hydrophobic filter. The moisture processing devices includes an expanded volume and one or more liquid-impermeable, vapor-permeable membranes. The liquid-impermeable, vapor- permeable membrane allows vapor to egress the moisture processing device. Other systems, methods, and devices are presented.

Title: Self pumping oil film bearing
Inventor: WOJTKOWSKI THOMAS C JR
IPC: B21B31/07
Filed: 2011-04-07
Abstract: A system is disclosed for use in a rolling mill oil film bearing (10) to remove a laminar flow of oil exiting tangentially from between a rotating sleeve (12) and a fixed bushing (18) surrounding the sleeve (12). The system comprises confinement surfaces cooperating with the sleeve (12) and the bushing (18) to define an annular chamber (40a) arranged to receive the exiting laminar flow of oil. Impellers (42) project into the chamber (40a) and are rotatable with and at the velocity of the sleeve (12) to thereby propel the oil around the annular chamber (40a). An outlet (44) communicates tangentially with the annular chamber (40a) for removing oil being propelled around the chamber (40a) by the rotation of the impellers (42). The size of the outlet (44) in relation to the volume of oil received in the annular chamber (40a) is such that the chamber (40a) remains filled with oil during steady state operation of the bearing (10).

Title: Optical fiber sensing system
Inventor: BELL KENNETH FRAZER
IPC: G01D5/353
Filed: 2013-03-08
Abstract: A method is presented for detecting an alarm condition with an optical fiber sensing system. An interrogator with a light source, a spectrometer, and a data processor is used to conduct a fast scan of a plurality of fiber optic sensing elements.  First environmental parameter values are calculated for each fiber optic sensing element from spectrographic data collected by the interrogator during the first scan, and compared with a first threshold value.  If the first environmental parameter value exceeds the first threshold value for any fiber optic sensing element, the fast scan is interrupted to perform a high resolution slow scan of that fiber optic sensing element. The optical fiber sensing system reports an alert if this high resolution slow scan indicates the alarm condition.

Abstract: A consumer who has a token incorporating a transaction code on their Smartphone (20) brings their Smartphone (20) to a retail location equipped with a transaction module (30). When purchasing an article, a connection is established between the Smartphone (20) and the transaction module (30). Once the connection is established, thetransaction module transmits its identity code to the Smartphone (20). The Smartphone (20) subsequently runs the transaction code and identity code through the authentication algorithm. If the codes are authenticated, the Smartphone (20) sends an authentication signal to transaction module (30) and a transaction report to transaction server (10). Upon receipt of the authentication signal, the transaction module (30) can output a corresponding validity indication in response. The above method therefore enables anyretailer possessing a transaction module (30) to process an electronic transaction without directly altering the retailers system (50). This therefore provides a simpler and potentially cheaper way of implementing electronic transactions at a wide variety ofunrelated retail outlets.
