  • Patent number: 11572518
    Abstract: An ASG system for polygeneration with CC includes a devolatilizer that pyrolyzes solid fuel to produce char and gases. A burner adds exothermic heat by high-pressure sub-stoichiometric combustion, a mixing pot causes turbulent flow of the gases to heat received solid fuel, and a riser micronizes resulting friable char. A devolatilizer cyclone separates the micronized char by weight providing micronized char, steam and gases to a gasifier feed and oversized char to the mixing pot. An indirect fluid bed gasifier combustion loop includes a gasifier coupled to the gasifier feed, a steam input to provide oxygen for gasification and to facilitate sand-char separation, and an output for providing syngas. A burner provides POC to a mixing pot which provides hot sand with POC to a POC cyclone via a riser, where the POC cyclone separates sand and POC by weight and provides POC and sand for steam-carbon reaction.

  • Patent number: 11573217
    Abstract: Detection and capture of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) is important for emissions control of exhaust gases and general public health. The low power sensor provides direct electrically detection of trace (0.5-5 ppm) NO2 at relatively low temperatures (50° C.) via changes in the electrical properties of nitrogen-oxide-capture active materials. For example, the high impedance of MOF-74 enables applications requiring a near-zero power sensor or dosimeter, such as for smart industrial systems and the internet of things, with 0.8 mg MOF-74 active material drawing <15 pW for a macroscale sensor 35 mm2 area.

  • Patent number: 11574202
    Abstract: Roughly described, an evolutionary data mining system includes at least two processing units, each having a pool of candidate individuals in which each candidate individual has a fitness estimate and experience level. A first processing unit tests candidate individuals against training data, updates an individual's experience level, and assigns each candidate to one of multiple layers of the candidate pool based on the individual's experience level. Individuals within the same layer of the same pool compete with each other to remain candidates. The first processing unit selects a set of candidates to retain based on the relative novelty of their responses to the training data. The first processing unit reports successful individuals to the second processing unit, and receives individuals for further testing from the second processing unit. The second processing unit selects individuals to retain based on their fitness estimate.
