Patent number: 11925895Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for performing a process (P) having at least one heat-consuming process step (F). A first fluid (2), which arises in the process and contains acid gases and water vapor, is cooled indirectly against a second fluid (7), an acidic condensate thus being formed. The invention is characterized in that the first fluid (2) is cooled in at least two successive steps (E1, E2), between which heat for use in the heat-consuming process step (V) is indirectly drawn from the second fluid (10).Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Linde GmbHInventors: Martin Lang, Alexander Hirsch

Patent number: 11783636Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for monitoring passengers in within a cabin of a vehicle and determining whether the passengers are engaging in abnormal behavior. The method and system uses a novel vector to robustly and numerically represent the activity of the passengers in a respective frame, which is referred to herein as an “activity vector.” Additionally, a Gaussian Mixture Model is utilized by the method and system to distinguish between normal and abnormal passenger behavior. Cluster components of the Gaussian Mixture Model are advantageously learned using an unsupervised approach in which training data is not labeled or annotated to indicate normal and abnormal passenger behavior. In this way, the Gaussian Mixture Model can be trained at a very low cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Yumi Kondo, Ryan Burt, Krishnan Bharath Navalpakkam, Alexander Hirsch, Naveen Ramakrishnan, Filipe Goncalves, Stefan Weissert, Jayanta Kumar Dutta, Ravi Kumar Satzoda

Patent number: 9512004Abstract: A method for operating a steam reforming plant wherein a hydrocarbon-rich feed is reacted with steam to form synthesis gas. The plant includes a steam reforming reactor and processing units to obtain a hydrogen-rich fraction after separation of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The plant also includes a pressure-swing adsorption plant to separate the hydrogen-rich fraction into product and residual gas. A recycle compressor is included and allows the plant to operate is two different modes. In the first mode, carbon dioxide separated from the synthesis gas is compressed and added to the hydrocarbon-rich feed. In the second mode, the recycle compressor is used to recycle residual gas from the pressure-swing adsorption plant to the hydrogen-rich fraction upstream of the pressure-swing adsorption plant.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Linde AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Lang, Alexander Hirsch, Josef Schwarzhuber
