Patent number: 8557217Abstract: A process for synthesizing nano-sized rutile, anatase, or a mixture of rutile and anatase TiO2 powder. The process includes the steps of: 1) forming a Ti-peroxo complex by mixing H2O2 with a Ti compound, and 2) heating the Ti-peroxo complex at a temperature of above 50° C. A primary particle size of TiO2 particles, synthesized by the method, is below 50 nm, and an agglomerated particle size thereof after a washing/dry process is below about 10 ?m. The major characteristics of the present invention are that it is a low temperature process, a highly concentrated synthesis, and high production yield of above 90%.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2007Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Tokusen, U.S.A., Inc.Inventors: Insoo Kim, Woo Jin Lee, Young Jin Kim, Charles E.

Patent number: 8308195Abstract: The first step is fabricating a sheet with a front face divided into 4 quadrants; a rear face divided into 4 quadrants; upper and lower edges separated by a height; first and second side edges separated by a width; a central vertical fold line; and a central horizontal fold line. The next step is forming an image on each quadrant. The next step is creating a first fold along the vertical fold line and a second fold along the horizontal fold line. The next step is coupling the quadrants adjacent to the vertical fold line using a tape. The final step is cutting along the horizontal fold line to crop and remove the horizontal fold line creating a first signature having pages 1 through 8.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Inventor: Charles E.

Patent number: 8155893Abstract: Thermodynamic properties of a natural gas stream can be determined in real time utilizing modeling algorithms in conjunction with one or more sensors for quantifying physical and chemical properties of the natural gas. A first data signal produced by a first sensor can include intensity as a function of wavelength. At least one region in the wavelength range outside of a selected absorption transition can be fitted to a function to obtain a zero-absorption baseline, and a carbon dioxide concentration can be determined based on a line strength at the selected absorption transition corrected by the zero-absorption baseline. A total hydrocarbon concentration in the gas stream can be inferred based on a database of characteristic natural gas concentrations, and an algorithm can be implemented that determines an energy content of the gas stream. Related techniques, apparatus, systems, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2011Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: SpectraSensors, Inc.Inventors: Richard L.
