Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a device for generating hydrogen from a water vapor containing exhaust is provided. The device comprises an exhaust diverter and a hydrogen generation section. The exhaust diverter is configured to divert a portion of the exhaust to the hydrogen generation section. The hydrogen generation section comprises an electrolysis unit defining a hermetically sealed void volume configured to accumulate and store hydrogen. The exhaust diverter may be placed in communication with a heat exchanger configured to increase a fractional relative humidity of the diverted exhaust by cooling the diverted exhaust. In accordance with 37 CFR 1.72(b), the purpose of this abstract is to enable the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure. The abstract will not be used for interpreting the scope of the claims.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a NOX removal system is provided for removing nitrogen oxides from a nitrogen oxide containing exhaust. The NOX removal system comprises a NOX treatment section, a diverter, and a hydrogen generation section. The NOX treatment section is configured to remove nitrogen oxides from the exhaust. The diverter is configured to extract water from the exhaust and deliver extracted water to the hydrogen generation section. The hydrogen generation section is configured to deliver hydrogen to the NOX treatment section. The NOX removal system is configured such that the delivery of the hydrogen to the NOX treatment section is substantially isolated from delivery of the exhaust to the NOX treatment section. In accordance with 37 CFR 1.72(b), the purpose of this abstract is to enable the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and gist of the technical disclosure.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for withdrawing and analyzing gases dissolved in liquid, more specifically, equilibrated blood gas samples in vivo. A catheter including a semipermeable membrane, connected to include a volume of carrier gas at atmospheric pressure, is introduced percutaneousluy into the bloodstream. After a predetermined period, equilibratin occurs between the blood gases and the carrier gas. By means of displacement in the volume or reduction in the pressure, the carrier gas including the equilibrated gas is then removed from the semipermeable membrane to another area for analysis. A corresponding volume of carrier gas is replaced in the semipermeable membrane from an inlet supply.
