  • Patent number: 12497936
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for cooling a pressurized gas for feeding to one or more vehicle fuel tanks for fueling a vehicle can be configured so that a pressurized gas (e.g. hydrogen or natural gas) for fueling one or more vehicles can be cooled prior to dispensing via a heat transfer fluid that cools the pressurized gas and transfers the heat of the pressurized gas toward fluid of a heat sink source. The transfer of the heat to the heat sink source fluid can occur via a refrigerant in some embodiments.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2023
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2025
    Assignee: AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC.
    Inventors: Harold James Rogers, Joseph P. Cohen, Timothy J. Yurish, Richard Michael Fetcho, Chieh Liu, Brenden Thomas Sawadski

  • Patent number: 4918492
    Abstract: The interferometer comprises an emitter arm (10) excited by a source (11) and a receiver arm (20) associated with a photodetector (21) united by an optical coupler (50) so as to form a reference arm (30) and a measurement arm (40) terminating in a sensor (41). The arms (30) and (40) are constituted by one and the same optical fiber whose diopter of its free end (31) acts as a partially transparent mirror for the reference optical wave. This end (31) is coupled to the sensor (41) which returns the measurement optical wave through said diopter. Application in particular in the measurement of temperatures, for example in turbo-machines or of fluctuations of flow density.
