  • Reactive byproduct treatment in gas generators
    Patent number: 11707714
    Abstract: The disclosure provides devices, methods, and systems for treating reactive metals and other reactive species produced during operation of thermal solid-state gas generators. Thermal energy, which may be derived from the gas generation process, physical contact with the evolved gases, or a dedicated or shared heat source, is used to release a gaseous species that neutralizes the reactive species. In some embodiments, the neutralization reaction causes the release of additional product gas(es).

  • MULTIPLE-MODE HEATED SEMICONDUCTOR ANEMOMETER
    Publication number: 20080034861
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a circuit that employs heated semiconductor elements to sense fluid flow speed and direction based on the cooling of the semiconductor element. The fluid flow speed and direction is determined by measuring the changes in the forward voltage drop across the semiconductor. The present invention improves on the previous art by enabling a single circuit to operate in either a constant-current or hybrid (constant-current/constant-temperature) mode where advantageous aspects of both modes are employed.
