Title: Blood treatment systems and methods
Inventor: WILT MICHAEL J
IPC: A61M1/10
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to hemodialysis and similar dialysis systems, including a variety of systems and methods that would make hemodialysis more efficient, easier, and/or more affordable. One aspect of the invention is generally directed to new fluid circuits for fluid flow. According to one aspect, a blood pump is configured to pump blood to a dialyzer of a hemodialysis apparatus, the blood pump comprising a pneumatically actuated or controlled reciprocating diaphragm pump. In an embodiment, the diaphragm of the pump comprises a flexible membrane formed or molded to generally conform to a curved inner wall of a pumping chamber or control chamber of the pump, wherein the diaphragm is pre-formed or molded to have a control side taking a convex shape, so that any elastic tension on the diaphragm is minimized when fully extended into a control chamber of the pump. In another aspect, a system for monitoring the adequacy of blood flow in a blood line of the hemodialysis apparatus allows a controller to suspend dialysate pumping operations if the adequacy of blood flow in the blood line is sub-optimal, and to present information on a display on the quality of blood flow in the blood line.

Title: Natural gas decarbonization process for production of zero-emission benzene and hydrogen from natural gas
Inventor: ZUBRIN ROBERT M
IPC: C07C2/00
Filed: 2016-03-24
Abstract: A process for producing aromatic hydrocarbons from methane or natural gas is described. The process operates by contacting the methane or natural gas along with hydrogen recycled in the system over a catalyst at elevated temperatures. During each pass over the catalyst, methane or natural gas is converted to benzene, toluene, naphthalene, and other aromatic compounds. The process can be used to produce zero-emission hydrogen, which can be used for generation of zero-emission electricity, generation of steam for use in extraction of heavy oil and oil sands, or for other purposes. In addition, benzene, an aromatic hydrocarbon, is produced, which is a readily-transportable and valuable chemical commodity and a fuel component, which can be used to displace petroleum-based gasoline and diesel, leading to additional above-ground GHG  emission reductions. As a by-product, hydrogen is produced, which is used to produce zero-emission, high-quality steam and/or carbon-free electricity for above-ground facilities.
