A financial rebate program provides a rebate to purchasers or sellers of energy such as electrical power and natural gas for a deviation from expected weather conditions. In one example, the buyer of a block of electrical power for a given winter month pays a premium as a percent of the value of the transaction. If the weather is warmer than normal, the heating degree days would be less and the demand for electrical power would also be less because of reduced electrical heating load. As a result, the buyer might have to sell the excess power at a discount. The buyer would receive a rebate based on the number of degree days below a given strike, such as ninety-five percent of normal, helping to offset the discount thereby minimizing a component of financial risk of the transaction.

A system for recovering glycol from glycol and brine mixtures produced from oil or natural gas wells that combines energy efficiency with a capability for handling salt and other solids contained in the mixture. The system comprises three effect evaporator systems in series. Each effect evaporator system comprises an evaporator, a separator vessel, product pumps, and a solids removal system.The process utilizes the system to remove salt and other solids as well as excess water leaving a glycol stream that can be reused as a hydrate inhibitor. The process begins by preheating a glycol / brine stream comprising approximately fifty percent (50%) glycol. The stream is then subjected to three evaporation cycles. The first evaporation cycle comprises introducing the preheated stream into a suppressed boiling point evaporator where the stream is heated under a constant pressure. The stream pressure is then dropped to cause a portion of the water contained in the stream to vaporize or flash. The flashing stream is then introduced into a separator vessel where the water vapor is separated from the remaining liquid stream. The water vapor is removed from the separator and condensed. The remaining liquid glycol / brine stream is then pumped from the separator vessel through a solids removal system where precipitated salts and solids are removed. These steps are repeated two additional times. Each time the remaining liquid stream becomes more concentrated with glycol until the finished product is approximately ninety percent (90%) glycol.

This invention expands Nelson's Sub-Rigid Fast-Form Barrier System that it was originally a part of. The system disclosed herein is simple to manufacture and simple to use and promises wide commercial application as the labor costs for concrete construction become increasingly prohibitive. The extraordinary absence of nails, screws, bolts, welds or any other fastening device allows these barriers to compete with many conventional barrier systems and any concrete form system on the market today. The invention addresses eccentric beam loading where barriers must be economically fabricated to withstand liquid concrete pressure in a sub-rigid manner. While providing a lightweight beam with heavy weight strength it is also a goal of this invention to provide a form system that is self-contained, meaning that all fasteners to construct the barrier, ties that hold form barriers together, staging needed to erect the barriers, bolts used to plumb the barriers and brackets available to hoist the barriers are all integral parts of this invention. Another goal disclosed herein are barriers for concrete formwork that are made up of ninety percent standard building products found in any locality in the world. This barrier invention offers rapid erection time that can be accomplished by unskilled labor and result in a quality construction.

Electrocatalyst durability has been recently recognized as one of the most important issues that have to be addressed before the commercialization of the proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The present invention is directed to a new class of cathode catalysts based on supportless platinum nanotubes (PtNTs) and platinum alloy nanotubes, for example, platinum-palladium nanotubes (PtPdNTs), that have remarkable durability and high catalytic activity. Due to their unique combination of dimensions at multiple length scales, the platinum nanotubes of the present invention can provide high platinum surface area due to their nanometer-sized wall thickness, and have the potential to eliminate or alleviate most of the degradation pathways of the commercial carbon supported platinum catalyst (Pt / C) and unsupported platinum-black (PtB) as a result of their micrometer-sized length. The platinum nanotube catalysts of the present invention asymptotically approach a maximum of about twenty percent platinum surface area loss in durability test, while the commercial PtB and Pt / C catalysts lose about fifty-one percent and ninety percent of their initial surface area, respectively. Moreover, the PtNT and PtPdNT catalysts of the present invention show higher mass activity and much higher specific activity than commercial Pt / C and PtB catalysts.

A skate wheel including a tire support structure adapted to reduce roll resistance generally encountered from a tire comprising a 60 A to 75 A Shore hardness material. The tire support structure comprises a flexible torus portion proximal to an inner core, and a substantially rigid radially extending portion extending radially outward from the flexible torus portion. The flexible torus portion cooperates with the inner core to form a cavity. The radially extending portion extends to approximately eighty to ninety five percent of the total wheel diameter. When a load is placed on the wheel, the radially extending portion is pressed against the flexible torus portion, and the flexible torus portion deforms into the cavity. The combination of the radially extending portion and the flexible torus portion moderates distortion of the soft tire, thereby reducing roll resistance. The resulting combination of a relatively hard radially extending portion and a relatively soft tire, allows for a more optimal balance of low rolling resistance and high traction.
