Patent CA-2825467-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and components for thermal energy storage
Inventor: DUCHEYNE WOUTER
IPC: F28D20/00
Filed: 2012-01-24
Abstract: This invention relates generally a method of thermal energy storage or heat pump using reversible chemical reactions. Within a reversible cycle, inorganic oxoacid compounds and/or their salts,oxoacids of either nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus, or its corresponding salt, are hydrolysed and condensed or polymerized in order to release and capture heat. It is accordingly a first aspect of the present invention to provide the use of inorganic esters in a method of thermal energy storage, in particular using inorganic phosphoric acids and/or their salts. The invention further provides a method to store thermal energy, said method comprising polymerization of the inorganic oxoacids using an external heat source. In a further aspect the invention provides a method to release thermal energy from said heat storage comprising an exothermic hydrolysation step of the inorganic oxoacids and/or its salt. If no cooling takes place between polymerization and the hydrolyzing step, one can create a heat pump. Such a heat pump might be extremely useful to upgrade waste heat from industry to a higher more valuable level. Using the methods and components of the present invention it is possible to store thermal energy at ambient circumstances in a transportable medium. As a consequence it allows converting a continuous heat generation process into a discontinuous and even dislocated consumption.

Title: Lightweight extruded cementitious material and method of making the same
Inventor: REN SHAN
IPC: B28B3/00
Filed: 2012-11-30
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a low density monolithic fiber cement article that incorporates controlled air entrainment evenly distributed throughout the article to improve various physical properties of the article. In some implementations, air entrainment agents are used to create voids in the article, thereby lowering the density and weight of the boards while maintaining adequate strength. In some implementations, the air entrainment agents can be added in solution to create a foam, or can be used to generate a pre-foam, which can be added to a cementitious paste. The cementitious paste incorporating the air entrainment agent can proceed through an extrusion process, experiencing high pressures, where the voids remain in the final monolithic fiber cement board.

Title: Measurement of biologically labile hydrogen sulfide pools
Inventor: KEVIL CHRISTOPHER G
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2013-03-14
Abstract: A method to measure all relevant biologic hydrogen sulfide pools, namely free hydrogen sulfide, acid-labile sulfide, and bound sulfane sulfur, has been developed. This new method involves selective liberation, trapping and derivatization of labile hydrogen sulfide. The total labile sulfide, including the contribution of the bound sulfane sulfur pool, the acid-labile pool, and free H2S, was measured by incubating the sample with a reducing agent, TCEP (Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride), to reduce disulfide bonds in an acid solution. This method was used to measure the three sulfide pools in blood samples from mice and from humans. This method can be used for research, environmental, and clinical diagnostic purposes in determining hydrogen sulfide bioavailability in biological or other samples.
