Patent CA-2893708-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SPARROW BENJAMIN
IPC: B01D61/42
Filed: 2014-11-06
Abstract: A process and system for removing ammonia from an aqueous ammonia solution. A first aqueous solution and the ammonia solution are flowed respectively through a first and a second separation chamber of a bipolar membrane electrodialysis ("BPMED") stack. The first separation chamber is bounded on an anodic side by a cation exchange membrane and the second separation chamber is bounded on a cathodic side by the cation exchange membrane and on an anodic side by a bipolar membrane. The bipolar membrane has an anion-permeable layer and a cation- permeable layer respectively oriented to face the stack's anode and cathode. While the solutions are flowing through the stack a voltage is applied across the stack that causes the bipolar membrane to dissociate water into protons and hydroxide ions. The protons migrate into the second separation chamber and react there with ammonia to form ammonium ions that migrate to the first separation chamber.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to intravascular imaging and methods of improved image quality by triggering image operations with a vessel flush. The invention provides systems and methods for intravascular imaging in which a flush such as the influx of clear saline or radiopaque dye triggers the imaging operation. The flush is detected by a mechanism such as a pressure sensor or optical device on the imaging catheter, an external angiography system, or other device that uses detection as a trigger to initiate imaging. Thus, when the blood is flushed, the catheter automatically takes a picture of the vessel wall.

Abstract: With air present on the electrodes during startup of conventional fuel cells, the cell voltage can vary significantly before steady operation is obtained. Exposure to higher potentials has long been recognized as degrading performance, but it has now been discovered that exposure to voltages in a window circa 0.8 V also results in increased degradation. The method of the invention mitigates this exposure by routinely applying a suitable startup load on startup soon after an average fuel cell voltage of 0.8 V has been exceeded.
