  • Publication number: 20140116069
    Abstract: A method and system of storing and transporting valuable gases comprising mixing the gases with liquid natural gas to form a mixture. The mixture is transported in vessel configured for cooling the mixture by boiling a portion of liquid natural gas. The transportation vessel is further configured to be cooled in the absence of valuable gases by a remaining portion of liquid natural gas. The method further comprises recycling liquid natural gas through the vessel for pre-cooling the vessel prior to loading the mixture of valuable gases and liquid natural gas.

  • Publication number: 20120218005
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having an on-chip voltage regulator to control on-chip voltage regulation and methods for on-chip voltage regulation are disclosed. A semiconductor device includes a circuit positioned between a ground bus and a power bus. A power switch array is positioned between the circuit and one of the ground bus or the power bus to generate a virtual voltage across the circuit. A monitor is positioned between the ground bus and the power bus. The monitor is configured to simulate a critical path of the circuit and to output a voltage adjust signal based on an output of the simulated critical path. A controller is configured to receive the voltage adjust signal and to output a control signal to the power switch array to control the virtual voltage.
