Publication number: 20240189754Abstract: A gas adsorption tree includes a track of multiple, different porous descending levels each pair of the levels defining therebetween an angle of declination. The tree further includes a single exit disposed at a distal end of the track. Finally, the tree includes multiple, different gas adsorbent spheres each traversing each of the levels of the track towards the single exit according to gravitational motivation. In one aspect of the embodiment, the porous descending levels are circuits which when combined form a spiral track. In an alternative aspect of the embodiment, the porous descending levels are ramps such that an ascending edge of each lower positioned one of the ramps in the tree extends beyond a descending edge of an adjacent upper positioned one of the ramps in the tree.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Applicant: SPIRITUS TECHNOLOGIES, PBCInventors: Charles Frederick Cadieu, Jose Manuel Tafoya, Matthew Nicholson Lee

Publication number: 20240139711Abstract: Compositing a gas adsorbant, macroporous object includes the immersion of a macroporous substrate into a charge stabilized suspension of nanoparticles that has been adapted for electrostatic repulsion. In this regard, the macroporous substrate includes a multiplicity of pores and demonstrates a compatibility with an adsorbant additive while lacking a repellant reaction to the charge stabilized solution. The nanoparticles are then positioned onto different walls of the pores resulting in the decoration of the macroporous structure with high surface volume materials. Finally, the macroporous substrate is removed from the suspension and dried. Thereafter, a gas adsorbant additive is introduced onto both surface portions of the macroporous substrate and also to the different walls of the pores of the macroporous substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: SPIRITUS TECHNOLOGIES, PBCInventors: Matthew Nicholson Lee, Jose Manuel Tafoya, Matthew Douglass Crall, Emily Webster Tew, Charles Frederick Cadieu

Publication number: 20240073023Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for connecting to an independent software vendor (ISV). The method includes receiving, at an integrated platform, a request to initiate a data connection with the ISV. The request may include a web address of the ISV. The method also includes associating, through the integrated platform, the data connection with a unique identifier. The method also includes issuing an authorization code based on authentication of an authorization request for the data connection. The method also includes exchanging, with a connector service, the authorization code for tokens utilized for establishing the data connection with the ISV. The method also includes receiving access to the ISV through the integrated platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Edward Robert Sutter, Ian Matthew Nicholson, Thomas Anthony Schoendorfer

Patent number: 9816512Abstract: A product usable with a turbocharger may include a compressor wheel having an inducer section and an exducer section. Air may be collected by the inducer section and expelled by the exducer section. A cover may define a diffuser and a collection volute. The diffuser may lead away from the exducer section to the collection volute. The cover may define a collection cavity opening to the collection volute through a port and extending in an axial direction. The cover may define an inlet passage around the inducer section and the cover may include a dividing wall separating the inlet passage from the collection cavity.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Andrew Smith, Andrew Day, Simon Jennings, Matthew Nicholson

Publication number: 20160061128Abstract: To help meet exhaust gas emissions standards, an internal combustion engine may have an exhaust gas aftertreatment device located in its exhaust gas stream. However, the exhaust gas aftertreatment device may only operate effectively above a minimum threshold temperature. In the present disclosure there is provided a method and apparatus for warming the exhaust gas aftertreatment device and a method and apparatus for controlling when exhaust gas aftertreatment device warming should be initiated and stopped.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2014Publication date: March 3, 2016Applicant: Perkins Engines Company LimitedInventors: Matthew Nicholson, Sarah Rutledge, Daniel Cunliffe, Peter Ladlow
