Patent number: 6956007Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a noble metal catalyst, where the noble metal is distributed on the surface of special composite carrier particles. Nanometer sized oxide particles are first dry coated by an impact mixing process on the surface of larger alumina particles. In general, this dry coating process coats the nanometer sized particles on the surface of the alumina particles. A suitable solution of noble metal(s) compound is then soaked on the surface of the composite carrier particles. Ultimately, the noble metal compound is decomposed by calcining and noble metal particles dispersed with large effective surface area on the composite carrier particles. The resultant catalyst structure improves catalyst performance while making efficient and effective use of the expensive noble metal.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Mei Cai, Lee Lizhong Feng, Martin S.

Patent number: 6680279Abstract: A method of dispersing nanosized catalyst particles on the surface of larger catalyst carrier particles is disclosed. The coating process is done dry and yields high effective surface area of nanosized catalyst particles coated on the surface of catalyst carrier particles. In this process, nanosized catalyst particles and catalyst carriers are mechanically mixed in a high velocity and impact force environment to which catalyst particles are embedded, or filmed, on the surface of catalyst carrier particles without using water or any other additional chemicals. The catalyst composite structure produced comprises better coating uniformity of the catalyst particle on its catalyst carrier. The catalyst particle/catalyst carrier composite produced can be applied to a support structure, such as a monolith as readily used in automotive or other applications.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Mei Cai, Lee Lizhong Feng, Martin S.

Patent number: 4047120Abstract: A protective coupling circuit is located between the D.C. supply voltage the amplifier components of a push-pull switching amplifier to suppress transients created during switching. The coupling circuit comprises a power supply filter with an inductor coil and capacitor, and circuitry for limiting the voltage on the individual switching elements and the output coil. Excess voltages caused by transients are fed to the power supply filter. In an alternative embodiment the power supply filter inductor coil is actually an auxiliary winding on the amplifier output transformer rather than a separate coil. This allows for use of some smaller capacity circuit elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1976Date of Patent: September 6, 1977Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Harold Wilbur Lord, Jimmy Dale Rogers

Patent number: 4028633Abstract: A drive circuit responsive to the phase of the amplifier output current eres that the non-conducting amplifier element remains off while the other amplifier element conducts. The output current phase can be detected either from the individual amplifier element outputs or from their combined outputs. Adjustments are made to compensate for any phase shift which occurs between the input to the amplifier and the point in the output at which the phase is detected.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1976Date of Patent: June 7, 1977Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Jimmy Dale Rogers, Michael Earl Creecy
