Publication number: 20240157293Abstract: An apparatus for purifying a process gas containing at least one pollutant gas, having a reactor vessel, has a cylindrical region and a tapering region, and into which oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas can be introduced as a reaction gas into at least one gas inlet and can be discharged through at least one gas outlet. The at least one gas inlet introduces a defined volumetric flow of the reaction gas into the reactor vessel tangentially to a circumferential surface of the cylindrical region. The apparatus may have a pollutant gas inlet, which introduces a defined volumetric flow of the process gas containing at least one pollutant gas into the reactor vessel, so that the at least one pollutant gas and the reaction gas are mixed with each other in the direction of the gas outlet and chemically react with each other on their way through the reactor vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Christian VENUS, Peter Raffael KUMICHEL, Philipp ROTHE, Sven LEONHARDT, Martin SALOMO

Patent number: 11912387Abstract: A system receives data from a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV), the data being about the operation of an arm of the ROV. The system automatically controls, based on the data, movement of the arm in docking the arm to a tool holder. In certain instances, the system implements an image based control. In certain instances, the system implements a force accommodation control. In certain instances, the system implements both.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: FMC Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mark Leonhardt, Bijou Abraham, Peter Boissiere, Steve Cohan, Kevin Hjelden, Doug Mayne, Tim Ranstrom, Sean Rogers, Kevin Schell, Spencer Slam, Adwait Jayant Gandhe

Patent number: 10470834Abstract: Devices and methods for protecting and transporting medical probes including, but not limited to, ultrasound transducers and more specifically ultrasound transducers designed for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A transport apparatus may include a housing for protecting a control housing of a medical probe and an elongate member extending from the housing. The elongate member may be configured to engage the insertion tube of the probe and maintain an arch shape of the insertion tube during transport to prevent damage from over-flexing of the insertion tube.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Acertara Acoustic Laboratories LLCInventors: Levi Moore, Peter Leonhardt

Patent number: 9525257Abstract: A device for selectively establishing an electrical connection between an array of electrical contacts of a connector of an ultrasound system and an electrical apparatus (e.g., testing apparatus). The device includes a tray including a floor and a wall extending away from and surrounding the floor to define a receptacle of the tray, a shaft non-movably fixed to the floor within the receptacle and including a longitudinal axis that extends away from the floor, and an electrical connection assembly rotatably secured about the shaft within the receptacle to selectively establish an electrical connection between the electrical contact array of the connector and the electrical apparatus. The device is configured to accept ultrasound connectors of a wide variety of shapes, sizes, electrical contact array configurations, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2016Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Acertara Acoustic Laboratories LLCInventors: Levi Moore, Peter Leonhardt

Patent number: 7147753Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions of starch. The compositions consist of an anionic and a cationic starch wherein at least one of the starches is waxy. The compositions are surprisingly not resulting in an agglomerated product when cooked. The compositions are used in paper or cardboard preparation. The compositions are cooked and added at the wet end of the paper production process. This results in a high possible addition level and the use of the size press is abolished. The resulting paper and board are shown to have better characteristics than the paper and board prepared with the same components which have not been mixed prior to addition but which are added separately.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2003Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Cerestar Holding B.V.Inventors: Detlev Glittenberg, Peter Leonhardt

Patent number: 6101920Abstract: A pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder (1) includes a cylinder tube (3) consisting of a non-ferromagnetic material in which a piston moves. At least one longitudinal channel (9) is recessed in the outer surface of the cylinder tube in which a signal transmitter (8) is secured to scan the piston location without physical contact. A permanent magnet is located on the piston which activates the signal transmitter (8) by its magnetic field. A leaf spring (17) is provided to secure the signal transmitter (8) in the longitudinal channel (9) and is attached to the housing of the signal transmitter by means of a screw (12) and a nut (19) with an inclined surface (20) that moves outward against the wall of the longitudinal channel (9) when the screw is tightened and thus tightly clamps the signal transmitter (8). The attaching device, consisting of the screw (12) with nut (18) and leaf spring (17), and the signal lead (10) are positioned on the same end of the signal transmitter (8).Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Hygrama AGInventor: Peter Leonhardt
