Patent CA-2178258-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for removing volatile organic compounds by cold oxidation
Inventor: LINCOLN PHILLIP A
IPC: B01D53/72
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing, abating, and destroying volatile organic compounds (V.O.C.s) contained in an air stream is disclosed. The air stream is mixed with a fog or mist of activated air in aqueous solution while the mixture is exposed to ultraviolet radiation in chambers along a tunnel. The activated air contains oxidants that are formed by exposing air to ultraviolet light. The activated air is generated under conditions that prevent prolonged existence of ozone and enhance the generation of highly active oxidants such as hydroxyl radicals. The aqueous solution is formed by dispersing the activated air into water in sparger tanks that include ultraviolet lamps to maintain a high oxidant level in the aqueous solution. The tunnel includes catalyst plates that act as scrubbers and that are exposed to the ultraviolet light in the tunnel to provide hydrogen to enhance generation of hydroxyl radicals. The tunnel includes coalescers that remove particulate water and V.O.C.s, which are collected in a supply tank and recirculated into the sparger tanks and thereafter back into the tunnel. The tunnel also includes carbon filters that collect V.O.C.s for surface reaction in the presence of further ultraviolet light. Upon discharge from the tunnel, the air stream is delivered to a carbon bed system where remaining V.O.C.s are captured and further oxidatively destroyed. Two carbon beds can be used, with one carbon bed on-line while the other is regenerated using activated air.

Patent CA-2209705-A1 (CA)
Title: Diode-pumped laser system and method
Inventor: FOSTER JOSH
IPC: H01S3/16
Filed: 1997-07-07
Abstract: A laser system for imaging graphic-arts constructions avoids the need to demagnify a divergent beam by using the output of a semiconductor or diode laser to optically pump a laser crystal, which itself emits laser radiation with substantially less beam divergence.  A preferred implementation utilizes, as a pumping source, at least one laser device that emits in the IR, and preferably near-IR region, to image ablative or transfer-type printing members.  The output of the pumping source is provided to the laser crystal via a focusing lens arrangement.  The output of the laser crystal, in turn, is focused onto the surface of a recording medium to perform the imaging function.  Crystal excitation and decay times are minimized by continuously maintaining the pumping source at a bias power level, which keeps the crystal at a continuous, baseline power level just short of lasing or imaging; and then selectively and intermittently increasing power to the pumping source to cause the crystal to lase (or lase at higher power) in an imagewise pattern.  By selectively varying the pulse width within certain limits, it is possible to obtain image dots of different sizes while retaining a round dot shape.
