Title: Method and apparatus for validating the operation of an optical scanning device
Inventor: HAMANN OLIVER
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2003-02-24
Abstract: An apparatus for validating the operation of an optical scanning system is provided. The apparatus includes one or more scanning illumination beams ( 6 ) for scanning an object, and one or more observing beams that comprise light scattered by the object being scanned, which inversely follow the path of the illumination beams. The apparatus further includes a reflector structure ( 9 ) arranged to reflect both the illuminating beams and observing beams scattered by a reference target ( 10 ) for a portion of each scan (e.g., a scan may be a 360-degree scan in the case of a circular scanning system). The apparatus still further includes the reference target ( 10 ) arranged to be scanned by the illumination beams reflected by the reflector structure during said portion of each scan. Light scattered by the reference target is received as the observing beams, and their optical properties are continuously monitored to validate the proper operation of the optical scanning system.

Title: Fixation de dioxyde de carbone à des carbonates
Inventor: O'DOWD PETER JOHN
IPC: B01D53/62
Filed: 2008-09-26
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé ou processus très efficace de conversion du CO2 (dioxyde de carbone) en un composé minéralisé. Ce procédé prévoit la préparation d'une solution aqueuse d'eau et de cendres de houille ou de résidus de charbon qui, lorsqu'elle est mise en contact avec du CO2, lie le CO2 à des carbonates ou le convertit en carbonates. Ce processus peut être mis en œuvre dans des installations de liquéfaction du charbon in situ à la mine. Ce processus peut être utilisé pour convertir de grosses quantités de CO2, le CO2 se présentant sous un volume concentré et constituant éventuellement un sous-produit d'un quelconque processus industriel. Selon une autre variante de mise en œuvre de ce processus, le CO2 peut être directement capturé dans l'atmosphère en utilisant un courant d'air passant sur une surface de contact ou par pulvérisation de l'une des solutions aqueuses du présent processus.
