  • Publication number: 20240157287
    Abstract: A scrubbing solution for removing contaminants, including particularly hydrogen sulfide, from a fluid. The scrubbing solution includes at least one scrubbing reagent which has a primary or secondary amine and an acid, which may be phosphoric acid. The fluid being scrubbed is passed through the scrubbing solution. The contaminants react with the scrubbing reagent securing them in the scrubbing solution. The fluid being scrubbed and the scrubbing solution are then separated. The scrubbing solution is heated and, if the scrubbing solution is under pressure, the pressure is reduced. The acid facilitates thorough removal of the contaminants, and especially the hydrogen sulfide, from the scrubbing solution. The scrubbing solution is then ready for reuse. Because the scrubbing solution is rendered substantially free of hydrogen sulfides, it can absorb other sulfide contaminants that might not otherwise be absorbed.

  • Patent number: 11971056
    Abstract: A head unit device for controlling motion of an object includes a chamber filled with a shear thickening fluid (STF) and a piston. The piston is housed within the chamber and exerts pressure against the STF from a force applied to the piston from the object. The STF is configured to have a decreasing viscosity in response to a first range of shear rates and an increasing viscosity in response to a second range of shear rates. The piston includes at least one piston bypass between opposite sides of the piston that controls flow of the STF between the opposite sides of the piston to selectively react with a shear threshold effect of the first range of shear rates or the second range of shear rates.

  • Publication number: 20240104611
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide recommendations of content based on user selections of curated review responses. A system can provide a set of curated response candidates and a related question to users providing a review of a product. The set of curated response candidates are selected based on a category that is determined by one or more factors. For example, if a user is to provide a review on a video game, the category can be based on aspects of the video game, such as visual features, game play features, etc. A user can respond to the question by selecting at least one of the curated response candidates. The system can then analyze a data structure that associates the selected response to one or more characteristics to determine characteristics that are preferred by the user. The system can then use the characteristics to recommend other content.
