Patent number: 11978931Abstract: Molten carbonate fuel cell configurations are provided that allow for introduction of an anode input gas flow on a side of the fuel cell that is adjacent to the entry side for the cathode input gas flow while allowing the anode and cathode to operate under co-current flow and/or counter-current flow conditions. It has been discovered that improved flow properties can be achieved within the anode or cathode during co-current flow or counter-current flow operation by diverting the input flow for the anode or cathode into an extended edge seal region (in an extended edge seal chamber) adjacent to the active area of the anode or cathode, and then using a baffle to provide sufficient pressure drop for even flow distribution of the anode input flow across the anode or cathode input flow across the cathode.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering CompanyInventors: Christopher Howard, Brandon J. O'Neill, Paul J. Rubas, Frank Hershkowitz, Lu Han, Lawrence J. Novacco, Frank J. Dobek, Jr., Keith E. Davis, Brian Bullecks

Publication number: 20240139781Abstract: A flowback tank cleaning system and method is described. A flowback tank includes a self-cleaning system. A flowback tank cleaning method may include moving solid debris collected at a bottom of a collection section of a flowback tank towards a lift auger using a cleaning auger or a conveyer belt extending along a length of the collection section, the bottom of the collection section including an angled trough, funneling solid debris towards the cleaning auger or conveyor belt by placing the cleaning auger or conveyor belt at a base of the angled trough, spraying fluid downward through a series of fluid outlets, removing the sand so moved by the cleaning auger or conveyer belt from the flowback tank using the lift auger, and removing the fluid from the flowback tank using a drain manifold below the cleaning auger or conveyer belt.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: OIL STATES ENERGY SERVICES, L.L.C.Inventors: BRODEY W. DAVIS, JAY C. ROBINSON, BRANDON J. CROSSLEY, COREY L. HOBBS, JOHNNY T. GAULF, BILLY C. ROWELL, BRATON DANIELSON

Publication number: 20230151405Abstract: The present invention provides methods for signal amplification. The methods use DNA hybridization chain reaction to build labeled nanoscaffolds off of target analytes. The methods are reversible, as the detectable signal can be removed using DNA hybridization and hydrolysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Yong WANG, Brandon J. DAVIS, Peng SHI

Patent number: 11324618Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a preloaded stent graft delivery device includes a guidewire catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a guide wire lumen therethrough; a nose cone dilator at the proximal end of the guide wire catheter, the nose cone dilator comprising a distal end and a capsule on the distal end of the nose cone dilator; a handle assembly at the distal end of the guidewire catheter, the handle assembly comprising a first section and a second section releasably connected to the handle assembly and in communication with the capsule on the distal end of the nose cone dilator; a ratchet assembly disposed within an interior surface of the first section of the handle assembly; a pusher catheter extending from the handle assembly towards the nose cone dilator; and a sheath disposed coaxially over the pusher catheter.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Kevin D. Wilger, Jarin A. Kratzberg, Brandon J. Davis

Patent number: 10772751Abstract: The present embodiments provide an endoluminal prosthesis deployment system and method for deploying the prosthesis for cannulation of branch vessels. The prosthesis includes an anterior fenestration and a posterior opening. A guide is disposed to exit the prosthesis lumen through a lateral fenestration, enter through the anterior fenestration, and exit the prosthesis lumen through the posterior opening. A sheath can be preloaded over the branch wire at the lateral fenestration for vessel cannulation, such as in renal arteries. The sheath can include another branch wire that extends from the lateral fenestration to another lateral fenestration. An end of the guide is retracted after partial expansion of the prosthesis, and another sheath is inserted over the retracted guide and moved through the posterior opening and to the anterior fenestration. A separate branch guide wire is then directed through the sheath for vessel cannulation, such as the SMA.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Brandon J. Davis, Jarin A. Kratzberg, Blayne A. Roeder
