Abstract: Disclosed is an absorbent for separation of carbon dioxide from mixed gases, comprising a mixture of i) a compound of the chemical formula 1 having one or more groups of three functional groups consisting of amino group attached to a tertiary carbon atom; carboxylate group; and hydroxyl group respectively, in a molecule, or a compound of the chemical formula 2 having one or more groups of two functional groups consisting of amino group attached to a quarternary carbon atom; and carboxylate group respectively in a molecule, and ii) an amine compound which promotes the reaction.     The absorbent for separation of carbon dioxide of the present invention is advantageous economically, since its efficiency is excellent due to larger unit absorption amount of carbon dioxide, and the energy required for regeneration can be reduced due to the relatively wider difference of absorption amounts with temperature. In addition, it is advantageous for industrialization, since the solubility is excellent by using a compound presented as a form of carboxylic acid salts, and operation cost is low because there is no risk of evaporation due to high boiling point.

Title: Methods and apparatus for measuring flow velocity in a wellbore using nmr and applications using same
Inventor: SPEIER PETER
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2002-09-09
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining flow velocity within a formation utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques in which the shape of the resonance region is restricted so that sensitivity to radial flow or vertical flow is obtained (or both when more than one NMR tool is used). Flow velocity using these NMR tools is determined using decay amplitude, frequency displacement or stimulated echoes (where the spins are stored along the magnetic field instead of the transverse plane to exploit echo decays and frequency displacements) based on the application of adiabatic pulses. Based on the described NMR measurement of flow velocity, additional wellbore parameters may be obtained such as a direct measurement of permeability, an assessment of drilling damage to the wellbore, formation pressure, invasion rate of the mud filtrate or the migration of fine mud particles during sampling operations.

Title: Tire pressure maintenance device
Inventor: LOEWE RICHARD
IPC: B60C23/10
Filed: 2005-11-14
Abstract: A device is provided for maintaining a desired inflation pressure within a tire mounted on a wheel of a vehicle. The device includes a microcompressor and a magnetic element. The compressor is mounted on the wheel and is in fluid communication with the atmosphere and the tire. The magnetic element is mounted on a stationary member of the wheel assembly and produces a magnetic field. The compressor is activated by transiting the magnetic field during each wheel revolution. Alternatively, an electric coil mounted on the wheel may transit the magnetic field to generate electrical power for an electrically-driven compressor. Thus, the compressor may pump air into the tire to maintain the desired inflation pressure. For leaks or device failure, a driver may be notified and a battery can operate the compressor at a high rate to maximize tire use until a safe place is reached.
