Abstract: Purifying residual gas from nitric acid production uses iron zeolite catalyst for decomposing dinitrogen monoxide after reduction of other nitrogen oxides to specified ratio. In a process for reducing the nitrogen oxide (NO x) and dinitrogen monoxide (N 2O) content of residual gas (I) from nitric acid production, (I) leaving the absorption tower, before entering the (I) turbine, passes through a combination of 2 stages, for reducing (1) the NO x and (2) the N 2O content. The NO x/N 2O ratio is 0.001-0.5 before the gas enters stage (2), in which (I) is contacted with a catalyst based on zeolite(s) charged with iron.

Abstract: A cap for curable material dispensing containers prevents the material from curing after opening the dispensing nozzle. Thus, when mounted on a partially-dispensed container, the nozzle cap preserves flowable materials such as air-cured glues, sealants, caulks, etc. In particular, a deformable sealant in the cap remains pliant, conforming in and/or around the nozzle tip to create a seal. A retention member frictionally grips the nozzle to prevent inadvertent release of the cap, yet accommodates nozzle tips cut to varying lengths.

Abstract: A chiral fiber sensor implemented in a chiral fiber is provided that mimics advantageous optical properties of a cholesteric liquid crystal structure. In a passive sensor embodiment the chiral fiber sensor of the present invention includes a chiral fiber element configured to shift its reflection band in response to a change in a particular external condition (such as temperature, pressure and axial twist). The chiral fiber element is subjected to a broadband emission while monitoring its refection or the transmission spectrum. Changes in the monitored spectrum indicate changes in the particular external condition. In an active sensor embodiment, the chiral fiber element is configured as an optically pumped chiral laser having a lasing wavelength that shifts in response to a change in a particular external condition (such as temperature, pressure and axial twist). The lasing wavelength is monitored and shifts in the wavelength indicate changes in the particular external condition.
