Patent number: 11933545Abstract: A thermal energy storage system utilizes a high temperature storage segment having flow passages extending through the storage segment whereby a working fluid can extract energy from the storage system for powering conventional downstream equipment. A mixing manifold cooperates with an outlet manifold for reducing the temperature of the working fluid to a temperature safe for the downstream equipment. The mixing manifold, an outlet manifold, an inlet manifold and a support base for the high temperature storage segment, are all of a high temperature tolerant material allowing the high temperature storage segment to operate at temperatures in excess of 1000° C. and preferably to temperatures above 1400° C. The temperature of the working fluid provided to the conventional equipment can be managed to be below a maximum temperature which in many cases may be about 700° C.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Kelvin Thermal Energy Inc.Inventors: Amirhossein Ahadi, George Lynch, Adam Crocker, Stephen Sutherland

Patent number: 11922626Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for quantifying an extent of various pathology patterns in scanned subject images. The detection and quantification of pathology is performed automatically and unsupervised via a trained system. The methods, devices, and systems described herein generate unique dictionaries of elements based on actual image data scans to automatically identify pathology of new image data scans of subjects. The automatic detection and quantification system can detect a number of pathologies including a usual interstitial pneumonia pattern on computed tomography images, which is subject to high inter-observer variation, in the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: National Jewish HealthInventors: David A.
