Inventor: DARDE ARTHUR
IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 2011-03-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions, from a hydrocarbon mixture. In said method, the hydrocarbon mixture is reformed (2) so as to produce a synthetic gas that is cooled (4) then treated in a (HT) shift reactor (6) so as to be enriched with H2 and CO2. Optionally dried (10), said mixture is treated in a PSA hydrogen purification unit (12) in order to produce hydrogen. The residue is treated by means of partial condensation with a view to capturing CO4 (20) before said residue is sent as fuel to reforming (28). According to the invention, the CO2 emissions in the fumes are reduced by converting the carbon monoxide, from the synthetic gas that has not reacted during the high-temperature shift reaction, into carbon dioxide via a second shift reaction (23) downstream from the PSA. The CO2 emissions are moreover reduced by capturing the thus-generated additional CO2 (27) prior to sending it as fuel.

Abstract: Medication errors happen frequently in hospital, home, and pharmacy environments. A medication verification and dispensing system provides protection against such errors. The apparatus includes a guide tube that receives a medication and imaging device(s) adjacent to the guide tube that take image(s) of the medication. The imaging devices(s) and light source(s) are oriented for capturing images that reveal markings, color, size, shape, etc., of the medication. A verification system uses a signature of the image to identify the medication or compares the image(s) to reference images to identify the medication and to a prescription record of the patient to ensure it is a correct medication, dose, amount, timing, etc., for administration. If the medication is correct, it is dispensed into a dispensing vessel that locks the medication inside, but unlocks when it recognizes a unique patient identifier worn by a patient that is a correct recipient for the medication.
