  • Patent number: 11931692
    Abstract: A method for separating a Lewis acid gas from a fluid mixture, comprising contacting the fluid mixture with a reduced electroactive species; a non-aqueous electrolyte; and a stabilizing additive to form an anion adduct between the Lewis acid gas and the reduced electroactive species, wherein the electroactive species comprises an oxidized state, and at least one reduced state that bonds with the Lewis acid gas to form the anion adduct, wherein the stabilizing additive comprises a cationic Lewis acid, a hydrogen-bond donor, or a combination thereof, and the stabilizing additive is present in an effective amount to kinetically favor the forming of the anion adduct from the reduced electroactive species and thermodynamically favor the forming of the anion adduct in the thermodynamic equilibrium between the anion adduct and the reduced electroactive species.

  • Patent number: 11841254
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer arrangement for a clamp-on ultrasonic, flow measuring point includes a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, each adapted to radiate ultrasonic signals into the measuring tube and/or to receive ultrasonic signals emerging from the measuring tube, wherein a first group of first ultrasonic transducers is arranged on a first side of the measuring tube, and a second group of second ultrasonic transducer is arranged on a second side of the measuring tube opposite the first side, wherein at least one first/second ultrasonic transducer is adapted to receive ultrasonic signals of at least one second/first ultrasonic transducer, respectively, wherein adjoining ultrasonic transducers of the first group have, in each case, first separations from one another, and wherein adjoining ultrasonic transducers of the second group have, in each case, second separations from one another.

  • Patent number: 11603597
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electrochemically producing chemical products are provided. In certain cases, the systems and methods described herein are capable of producing chemical products such as hydrogen peroxide in solutions with relatively low concentrations of electrolyte or other dissolved species at high efficiencies and/or low energetic cost. In some cases, redox mediators are used to spatially decouple direct electrochemical processes from the production of the chemical product.

  • Publication number: 20090070338
    Abstract: In the disclosed example, an Intelligence Management System (IMS) collects data pertaining to operations of resources of various document processing environments operated by different entities into a database. The IMS processes data from the database according to criteria, to generate at least one anonymous performance metric representing operational performance of resources within a number of the document processing environments. The anonymous metric may be presented to a user, such as personnel of one of the operating entities. If the user has sufficient access privileges, the IMS may also generate a similar client specific metric from data for one or more environments with which the user is associated, for example, to allow benchmark comparison of the operational performance of the associated environment(s) against the anonymous performance metric.
