Title: Vortex tube reformer for hydrogen production, separation, and intergrated use
Inventor: ROBERT HOTTO
IPC: C07C27/06
Filed: 2016-04-14
Abstract: A reformer assembly includes a vortex tube (214/700/800/900) receiving heated fuel mixed with steam. A catalyst (226) coats the inner wall of the main tube of the vortex tube and a hydrogen-permeable tube (222) is positioned in the middle of the main tube coaxially with the main tube. With this structure the vortex tube outputs primarily Hydrogen from one end (224) and Carbon-based constituents from the other end (220). In some embodiments a second vortex tube (708/804/902) receives the Carbon output of the first vortex tube to establish a water gas shift reactor, producing Hydrogen from the Carbon output of the first vortex tube.

Title: Collision avoidance systems and methods
Inventor: Sagar Kumar Regmi
IPC: B60W30/095
Filed: 2018-01-23
Abstract: A method includes receiving data, from multiple sensors mounted to a first vehicle, regarding a second vehicle approaching from behind 402. A collision avoidance system determines a likelihood that the second vehicle will collide with the back of the first vehicle based on the received data 404. Open space near the first vehicle is identified and a best action to mitigate the collision is determined based on the open space. The open space may be in front of or to the side of the first vehicle and the best action may involve driving into these other lanes. The authority to do this may be based on the autonomy level of the first vehicle. The impending collision may be communicated to driver of the first vehicle or possibly to other vehicles or infrastructure via V2X communication systems.

Title: Automatic rotational viscometer and rheometer
Inventor: COLIN JOHN COOK
IPC: G01N11/14
Filed: 2018-03-12
Abstract: In a viscometer, a cylindrical probe 4 is immersed into liquid 7 to depth 4b. The probe is rotated at constant speed and the torque measured. The immersion depth is increased in steps, and the measurement repeated at each step. By linear regression or graphical methods, the contribution of end effects arising from the base 6 of the cylinder, which may have a circular, conical or hemispherical profile, can be eliminated. Immersion depth may be set by means of a stepper motor or helical screw under computer control. Readings may be taken at multiple rotation speeds at each immersion depth. By knowing the diameter of cylindrical container 7a, upward displacement of liquid 7 may be accounted for as probe immersion is increased. A software package may control the measurements and analysis.
