Production of hydrogen and removal and sequestration of carbon dioxide from coal-fired furnaces and boilers
InactiveUS7282189B2Increase ratingsValue maximizationOrganic chemistryNitrogen compoundsHydrogenProcess engineering
Methods for reducing and eliminating carbon dioxide from the emissions of solid fuel fired power plants, particularly coal fired power plants, and to sequester the carbon dioxide, typically by using existing equipment. In some embodiments, the methods involve pyrolyzing the solid fuel to remove volatile matter and using the volatile matter to produce hydrogen. Additionally, the methods may involve burning the solid fuel or pyrolized solid fuel at very fuel rich stoichiometric conditions. Sequestration may include the production of a carbon dioxide-containing solution and the pumping of the solution into the ground, particularly in areas high in limestone.

Markovian-sequence generator and new methods of generating markovian sequences
ActiveUS20110010321A1Extensive controlMore “costly”Mathematical modelsElectrophonic musical instrumentsConstraint satisfaction problemExecution control
A new type of Markovian sequence generator and generation method generates a Markovian sequence having controllable properties, notably properties that satisfy at least one control criterion which is a computable requirement holding on items in the sequence. The Markovian sequence is generated chunkwise, each chunk containing a plurality of items in the sequence. During generation of each chunk a search is performed in the space of Markovian sequences to find a chunk-sized series of items which enables the control criterion to be satisfied. The search can be performed using a generate and test approach in which chunk-sized Markovian sequences are generated then tested for compliance with the requirement(s) of the control criteria. Alternatively, the search can be performed by formulating the sequence-generation task as a constraint satisfaction problem, with one or more constraints ensuring that the generated sequence is Markovian and one or more constraints enforcing the requirement(s) of the control criteria. The sequence generator can be used in an interactive system where a user specifies the control criterion via an inputting device (20).

Ultrasound transmitter with voltage-controlled rise/fall time variation
InactiveUS6856175B2Shorten the timeReduce variationContinuous to patterned pulse manipulationElectronic switchingEngineeringUltrasound
In an ultrasound transmit ASIC, the rise and fall times of the output pulse can be controlled by varying the gate-source voltage used to drive the output-stage transistors. Control of the rise / fall times can be effected either by trimming on-chip during fabrication or by changing the gate-source voltage that drives the output-stage transistors, either on-chip or off-chip. In all cases it will be necessary to first test the manufactured device to determine how much calibration voltage needs to be applied.

Systems and techniques for enabling packet networks to carry time-sensitive data in an efficient manner are described. A packet traverses a packet network through the creation of a packet network tunnel. Each router can propose, and establish if possible, a detour tunnel around the failure without the knowledge or consent of a tunnel manager. Establishment and maintenance of packet network tunnels is also prioritized so any packet network tunnel authorized by the tunnel manager has precedence over any packet network tunnel initiated by a router without the authorization of the tunnel manager.

Efficient buffer cache utilization frees a data buffer as soon as data buffer processing is completed, and without losing association of the freed data buffer and a descriptor buffer. Separate free buffer link lists identify the freed data buffer and any freed descriptor buffer. The data buffer is rapidly processed then freed generally before completion of processing of the descriptor buffer, freeing the processed associated data buffer before the associated descriptor buffer is freed. The association of the processed free data buffer and the descriptor buffer may be ended to enable the more frequent use of the large capacity data buffer for other update requests.

Method And Related Apparatus For Realizing Two-Port Synchronous Memory Device
Method and related apparatus for realizing a two-port synchronous memory device with a single-port memory. Clock-triggered two-port synchronous memory device can synchronously receive reading and writing commands within a clock period to simultaneous execute these two commands, while a single port memory must execute a single reading and writing command sequentially. Since a single-port memory features a lower cost and a smaller layout area, the invention realizes a two-port synchronous memory device by making a single-port memory first execute one of the reading / writing commands and then the other command within a single clock period, such that the two commands are completed after a single clock period. Thus a two-port synchronous memory device can be realized with a single-port memory.
