  • Method for Producing High Purity Biomethane Without Adding Unacceptable Quantities of Moisture
    Publication number: 20130060074
    Abstract: A method for producing high purity biomethane using two non-regenerative media in series to reliably and virtually completely eliminate undesirable impurities from biomethane. The first media in the series is activated carbon, preferably virgin media, produced from coconut shells or coal. The second media in the series is silica gel or other desiccant. Neither material is regenerated; rather, the purity of the biomethane is monitored and when the media is spent, the media is discarded.

  • Animal vaccination gun
    Patent number: 5380279
    Abstract: An animal vaccination gun for administering a vaccination to an animal has a movable needle assembly which is brought into engagement with a metering chamber having a spring-biased piston mounted therein during the injection of a medicament to an animal. During the injection, fluid is forced out of the metering chamber and through the needle assembly by the spring-biased piston. After the injection, fluid pressure forces the needle assembly out of engagement with the metering chamber and enables the metering chamber to be refilled.

  • Shunting element
    Patent number: 4849806
    Abstract: A shunting element includes two terminal elements for bridging an electrical component, at least one semiconductor component, and at least one electrically conducting layer connecting the semiconductor component to the two terminal elements, the electrically conducting layer being alloyed with the semiconductor component to form a shorting element upon the passage of a current which increases the temperature in the electrically conducting layer and in the semiconductor component to a given value.

  • Method for producing a plastic
    Patent number: 4670511
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a conductive plastic of a defined conductivity by forming a polymer alloy. A polar or nonpolar insulating polymer and a polar or nonpolar conductive polymer are used for forming the polymer alloy. The two polymers are mixed together and they are homogeneously distributed within the polymer alloy.

  • Insulators with increased surface conductivity and method for increasing the conductivity on surfaces of insulators having high electrical resistance made of inorganic and organic materials such as ceramic, glass, plastic and resin
    Patent number: 4166193
    Abstract: A solid insulator having high electrical resistance of inorganic and organic materials such as ceramic, glass, plastics, resins which is treated by application of an ion beam to the insulator surface to effect incorporation by controlled implantation of ions in the insulator adjacent its surface to produce an insulator surface of desired conductivity. This overcomes the difficulties due to uneven voltage distributions on the insulator surface which can cause discharges and even the destruction of the insulator.
