Patent number: 10723985Abstract: A photobioreactor is described for cultivating phototrophic organisms and in particular a mat, as can be used in one such photobioreactor. The mat has a plurality of first fibres which are light conductive along their longitudinal direction and are constructed to decouple light conducted in the longitudinal direction laterally, at least somewhat transversely to the longitudinal direction. The mat furthermore has a plurality of second fibres which are electrically conductive along their longitudinal direction. With the aid of one such mat, light can on the one hand be coupled in the interior of a photobioreactor. On the other hand, a travelling electric alternating field can be generated by applying a suitable polyphase voltage from a voltage source with the aid of electrically conductive second fibres. This alternating field can act on electrically charged particles.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Airbus Defence and Space GmbHInventors: Johann Göbel, Jennifer Wagner, Robert Schreiber

Publication number: 20160201020Abstract: A photobioreactor and a photobioreactor system are proposed in order to cultivate phototrophic organisms for the purpose of generating fuels, for example. The photobioreactor comprises a container and at least one laterally light out-coupling light conductor mat. The phototrophic organisms are received in the container together with a nutrient solution. One or preferably more light conductor mats are arranged within the container and each comprises a plurality of light conducting fibres which are arranged and/or designed such that light which is coupled into a fibre at one end of the fibre leaves the fibre laterally at least in part. A large adjacent volume within the container can thus be extensively illuminated by means of the light conductor mat, in order to thus increase efficiency of the photobioreactor. A photodetector that is externally coupled to the fibres can allow on-site monitoring of vital functions of the organisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Johann Göbel, Robert SCHREIBER, Jennifer WAGNER

Patent number: 6730141Abstract: A method is for selectively removing gaseous pollutants from the ambient air, and a device is for implementing the method. Undesirable emissions may be selectively and completely removed from the ambient air using relatively simple equipment and a small amount of energy. Pollutants contained in the air to be purified are ionized by the action of optical radiation, based on resonant and/or non-resonant single-photon excitation and/or multiple-photon excitation, so that the ionized pollutants are drawn off and removed from the air to be purified, using an electric field. A small portion of the energy necessary for the ionization may also be applied in the form of microwave energy or electric-field energy. The method and device may be used in air-conditioning or other air-circulation systems.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: EADS Deutschland GmbHInventors: Johann Goebel, Helmut Oberpriller, Peter Peuser

Patent number: 6197097Abstract: A filter for cleaning air by removing noxious and/or odorous matter from the air flow by desorption is constructed so that filter sections (12) can be sequentially heated for a desorption of the noxious and odorous matter. An air discharge (13) for desorption air is provided on the air exit side (11) of the filter (2) for the discharge of the desorbed noxious and odorous matter, preferably into the combustion air of an engine. The air discharge (13, 22) for the desorption air covers at least one filter section 12 at a time when that section is being heated. A relative motion between the filter sections (12) and the air discharge (13) assures that other filter sections keep filtering while at least one filter section at a time is regenerated.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1999Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Harald Ertl, Johann Goebel, Sabine Kunz
