  • Airflow-based volumetric pump
    Patent number: 11914401
    Abstract: A system for precision liquid delivery includes a gas reservoir having a known volume. The system has a tightly load-coupled pneumatic driver (a “TLCP driver”) that is configured to receive input power to cause the TLCP driver to move gas into the gas reservoir to produce a gas drive pressure. A valve is configured to couple the gas reservoir with a fluid reservoir having an unknown volume. The valve is further configured to selectively isolate or pneumatically couple pressures in the gas reservoir and the fluid reservoir. A gas-fluid interface couples pressure in the fluid reservoir to pressure in a fluid path. The fluid path is configured so that the fluid drive pressure driving the liquid in the fluid path is substantially the same as the fluid reservoir pressure. The system also has a pressure sensor configured to detect pressure in the gas reservoir and/or the fluid reservoir.

  • Methods for removal HI/I/HIfrom trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI) feedstock and pyrolysis reactor effluent
    Patent number: 11912641
    Abstract: A method of producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) includes providing a feedstock comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI), passing the feedstock through at least one column charged with carbonaceous materials to remove hydrogen iodide (HI), hydrogen triiodide (HI3) and iodine (I2) from the feedstock, and providing the feedstock to a reactor to produce a trifluoroiodomethane product stream. Another method of producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) includes providing a feedstock comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI) to a reactor to produce a trifluoroiodomethane product stream, and passing the trifluoroiodomethane product stream from the reactor through at least one column charged with carbonaceous materials to remove hydrogen iodide (HI), hydrogen triiodide (HI3) and iodine (I2) from the trifluoroiodomethane product stream.

  • Method and system for controlling compressor temperature
    Patent number: 11906225
    Abstract: A method for controlling the temperature of a compressor having a motor including a rotor and a stator, and a control assembly operably coupled to the compressor, the method comprising the steps of: applying an initial current to the compressor motor; measuring a voltage across the compressor motor and determining a resistance of the compressor motor based on the initial current and a measured voltage; determining whether the determined resistance is less than or equal to a desired resistance; applying a secondary current to the compressor motor if the determined resistance is less than or equal to the desired resistance.

  • Access to chiral bisphenol (BPOL) ligands through desymmetrizing asymmetric ortho-selective mono-halogenation
    Patent number: 11905237
    Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method of halogenating phenols, yielding a range of halogenated phenols with enantiomeric ratio of up to 99.5:0.5. In certain embodiments, the subject invention pertains to a method of asymmetric halogenation of bisphenol, yielding a range of chiral bisphenol ligands. The novel chiral bisphenols are potent privileged catalyst cores that can be applied to the preparation of ligands for various catalytic asymmetric reactions. The catalyst library can easily be accessed because late-stage modification of the scaffold can readily be executed through cross-coupling of the halogen handles on the bisphenols.
