Patent number: 11277943Abstract: A modular data center (MDC) has an air handling system that air cools a volumetric container and heat-generating equipment contained in externally attached equipment panels. Heat-generating information technology (IT) component(s) are positioned within the volumetric container with a cold aisle defined on one side and a hot aisle defined on another side of the IT component(s). The IT component(s) has air-cooling air passages that fluidly communicate between the cold and the hot aisles. A cooling unit pressurizes the cold aisle with supply air and draws return air from the hot aisle. The equipment panel(s) are externally attached to an exterior wall of the volumetric container. A supply air conduit directs supply air from the cold aisle into the equipment panel(s). A return air conduit directs air warmed by the heat-generating equipment inside the equipment panel into the hot aisle from the equipment panel(s) that receives the supply air.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Mark M.

Patent number: 9628562Abstract: Systems and methods automatically detect missing data and attempt to collect the missing data. The missing data may be related to a data reading or may be related to an event. The missing data is detected by comparing a communication received from an endpoint with previously received communications from the endpoint. The communication technology used by the endpoint may be considered in determining how to detect missing data and how to request the missing data from the endpoint. A single headend system may communicate with endpoints that use different communication technologies by adjusting the speed, batch size and the retry process used.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Landis+Gyr Innovations, Inc.Inventors: James S. Davis, Eric Kramer, Siva Suthram, Bonny Hicks

Publication number: 20120171105Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for improving the total energy demand required to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from an aqueous ionic absorbent solution in a post-combustion carbon capture process. The method involves (a) contacting a flue gas stream containing CO2 with an aqueous ionic absorbent solution under absorption conditions to absorb at least a portion of the CO2 from the flue gas stream and form a CO2-aqueous ionic absorbent solution stream, wherein the aqueous ionic absorbent solution comprises one or more diluents and an ionic absorbent containing a cation and an anion comprising an amine moiety; and (b) subjecting at least a portion of the CO2-aqueous ionic absorbent solution stream to desorption conditions to form a CO2-rich stream and an aqueous ionic absorbent solution stream having a reduced CO2 content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2011Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicants: University of South Alabama, CHEVRON U.S.A.

Patent number: 7443313Abstract: A water meter transceiver coupled to a water meter has a head portion that houses a processor having a transceiver. The transceiver transmits water utility consumption data received from the water meter. A stem is coupled to the head portion and has a hollowed portion for containing a power source that is coupled to the processor. The stem may include threads to receive a nut that positions the head portion to a lid of a water meter container. The stem may include a switch that is coupled to the processor and configured to activate when the nut is coupled to the stem. If the nut is removed without authorization, the switch reports such, thereby causing the processor to execute a predetermined action, such as communicating an alert or disabling the water meter so as to prevent theft of the water utility.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2005Date of Patent: October 28, 2008Assignee: Hunt Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James S.

Patent number: 4453497Abstract: The operation of gas turbines in combined cycle or cogeneration plants utilizing circulating fluidized beds is improved by increasing the temperature of the air supplied them. The temperature of bed solids circulating through an external heat exchanger is raised by combusting fuel in a combustion-augmenting zone through which the circulating solids pass. The gaseous products are combustion from that zone are introduced into the fluidized bed combustor. Thus the fluidized bed combustor operates at temperatures affording optimum sulfur removal by sulfur absorbing materials, the combustion-augmenting zone operates at an appreciably higher temperature to provide increased heat transfer to the compressed air for the gas turbine, and the off gases from the combustion-augmenting zone, which may be high in sulfur, are cooled in the combustor so as to bring about their desulfurization therein. Suitable apparatus is provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1982Date of Patent: June 12, 1984Assignee: Struthers Wells CorporationInventor: James S. Davis

Patent number: 4406128Abstract: In a combined generating plant utilizing a fluidized bed combustor in which coal or other carbonaceous fuel is burned at substantially atmospheric pressure, an external heat transfer unit is provided through which a portion of the hot solids of the fluidized bed is circulated through tubular channels. Clean air from an air compressor is passed through the heat exchanger unit around the outside of the tubular channels, so receiving heat through them from the hot solids circulating therethrough, and is expanded in a gas turbine. The flow of hot solids through the tubular channels is controlled independently of the operation of the combustor so as to accomodate varying loads on the generating units. Steam for a other uses is generated by a conventional boiler and superheater in the combustor.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1981Date of Patent: September 27, 1983Assignee: Struthers-Wells CorporationInventors: John P.
