  • Patent number: 8221687
    Abstract: A system and a method are provided for removing greenhouse gases, particulates and pollutants from the atmosphere utilizing a greenhouse gas collection apparatus. An atmospheric mixture is collected and progressively treated in first, second and third tube furnaces and a scrubber to produce an effluent for treatment in a chemical processing plant. The first tube furnace oxidizes hydrocarbons, the second tube furnace oxidizes any remaining nitrous and nitric oxides, and the third tube furnace oxidizes sulfur dioxide. The scrubber precipitates carbon dioxide as calcium carbonate. A vacuum pump draws the atmospheric mixture through tube furnaces and the scrubber.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080208333
    Abstract: A new type of artificial heart with rechargeable battery to power solenoid means surrounding the body of the device, said solenoids effecting repulsion or attraction of small permanent magnets on plastic disks which stud the body of the elastomeric artificial heart, and via this means effect mechanical compression or expansion of the chambers of the heart.
