  • Patent number: 11964035
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to, inter alia, a gel formulation in a package, the package may be pressurized. The formulation comprises one or more active agents and is co-mingled with a gas propellant prior to being filled under pressure into the package. The gas propellant is added in sufficient amounts to be dispersed in the formulation; the pressurized package is under sufficient pressure suitable to maintain the first gas propellant dispersed in the formulation. The pressurized package is under sufficient pressure to expel the formulation as a whipped gel formulation upon application of external force on the formulation in the package. The present disclosure also relates to, inter alia, a method of preparing the disclosed formulation; a package comprising the disclosed formulation, and a method of using the disclosed formulation.

  • Patent number: 10760475
    Abstract: An inlet tank for a charge cooler comprises a manifold portion, a turbocharger inlet port, and a supercharger inlet port. The turbocharger inlet port is in fluid communication with a compressor wheel of a turbocharger and the manifold portion of the inlet tank. An opening is formed in a sidewall of the turbocharger inlet port. The supercharger inlet port is in fluid communication with an electric supercharger and intersects the turbocharger inlet port. The opening formed in the sidewall of the turbocharger inlet port provides fluid communication between the supercharger inlet port and the turbocharger inlet port. A valve element selectively determines when a flow of air from the supercharger inlet port enters the turbocharger inlet port through the opening based on a pressure differential present between the air exiting the compressor wheel of the turbocharger and the air exiting a compression mechanism of the electric supercharger.

  • Patent number: 7888126
    Abstract: An apparatus, process, coating, and filter for the accurate measurement of total mercury concentration in flue gas. In one aspect, the concentrations of both elemental and oxidized mercury are preserved by the apparatus for analysis. Accordingly, embodiments of the present apparatus and process can be used to determine regulatory compliance or for process control measurement.

  • Publication number: 20100089180
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a sampling device, system, and method. The sampling device includes a sample inlet nozzle fluidly coupled to a dilution body. A carrier fluid delivery conduit is also fluidly coupled to the dilution body. In one implementation, the carrier fluid delivery conduit is coupled to a source of heated carrier fluid. Carrier fluid is delivered around a perforated portion of the sample inlet nozzle, in one configuration. In some cases, the sampling device includes a mixing device configured to produce laminar flow of carrier fluid about a fluid sample. In other cases, the mixing device produces turbulent flow of carrier fluid and fluid sample. Systems including the sampling device include, in some implementations, a sample separator, such as an inertial droplet separator. In further implementations, systems including the sampling device further include an atmospheric dispersion simulator.

  • Publication number: 20100037770
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an inertial separation device, system, and method. The inertial separation device includes an inlet nozzle coupled to an expansion chamber. A sample outlet and an outlet port are coupled to the expansion chamber. In operation, a fluid sample passes though the inlet nozzle and is expanded in the expansion chamber such that the sample is separated into at least two fractions having different masses, a selected mass fraction passing through the sample outlet and a remaining portion of the sample passing out of the outlet port. A system including the inertial separation device includes a conduit coupled to the sample outlet nozzle and a detector coupled the conduit. The inlet nozzle may be, for example, coupled to an emissions source.

  • Publication number: 20080168752
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for separating a particulate-containing gas flow into particulate and substantially non-particulate flow portions is provided. The apparatus comprises a sample gas inlet, a radial separating ring, a separation draw, a separated gas outlet, a bypass eductor, and a bypass gas outlet. The radial separating ring comprises a separating ring gap defined between an inlet ring orifice and an outlet ring orifice, and is positioned such that a sample gas flow moving downstream from the sample gas inlet through the bypass eductor to the bypass gas outlet passes across the separating ring gap. The radial separating ring is configured such that the inlet ring orifice and the outlet ring orifice are relatively large, in relation to the size of the separating ring gap, and are positioned in close proximity to each other along the direction of the sample gas flow.

  • Publication number: 20070092976
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and apparatus for continuously monitoring particulates emitted from an emissions source. In a particular embodiment of a disclosed system, the system includes a sample inlet and diluent inlet. The system further includes a mixing chamber in communication with the sample inlet and the diluent inlet. An aerosol sample from the emissions source and diluent from the diluent inlet, received through the respective sample and diluent inlets, are mixed in the mixing chamber. The system includes an ambient dispersion simulator in communication with the mixing chamber. A diluted aerosol sample passes from the mixing chamber to the ambient dispersion simulator, where it is conditioned to produce a conditioned aerosol sample. The conditioned aerosol sample enters a continuous particle detector. The continuous particle detector is configured to make multiple distinct measurements without intervention by a user.
