Patent number: 11175165Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring a fluid flow comprise a plurality of transceivers disposed at predetermined locations distributed along a perimeter around the fluid flow. The transceivers transmit and receive acoustic signals through the fluid flow there between. A plurality of different acoustic paths through the fluid flow are formed between different transceiver pairs. Different time intervals are measured between respective times of transmitting and receiving the acoustic signals; and along the plurality of different acoustic paths. A velocity map of the fluid flow is calculated by fitting the measured different time intervals to a model of the fluid flow. The model of the fluid flow defines a velocity map with different flow velocities in a cross-section plane transverse to the fluid flow.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: NEDERLANDSE ORGANISATIE VOOR TOEGEPAST-NATUURWETENSCHAPPELIJK ONDERZOEK TNOInventors: Paul Louis Maria Joseph Van Neer, Daniele Piras, Uilke Stelwagen, Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling

Patent number: 10634525Abstract: Local strain and optionally other properties of an optical sensing fiber are detected as a function of position along the optical sensing fiber. A light pulse with a plurality of simultaneous laser modes at mutually different wavelengths is transmitted into the optical sensing fiber. Light produced by backscattering of the light pulse in the optical fiber is fed to a multi-way coupler, via a first and second optical path with different optical path lengths. Intensities of different phase combinations of light from the paths are detected by detectors at the outputs of the multiway coupler. A data processing system computes relative phase values of light from the first and second paths for a series to time points with time delays corresponding to scattering at different positions along the fiber. In an embodiment, inelastically scattered light such as due to Brillouin scattering and/or Raman scattered light is selective passed to the detectors and detected.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2015Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: Lun Kai Cheng, Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling

Patent number: 9327241Abstract: A method for treating a contaminated alkaline amino acid salt solution is provided. First, carbon dioxide is introduced into the amino acid salt solution, with the result that carbonate or carbonate salts is or are precipitated, these being filtered off. The remaining filtrate is then cooled, amino acid or amino acid salts being crystallized out and likewise being filtered off. The amino acid or amino acid salt is then dissolved again, with the result that a treated amino acid salt solution is recovered.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2011Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling, Earl Lawrence Vincent Goetheer, Ralph Joh, Rüdiger Schneider, Johannes Van Der Meer, Dirk Verdoes

Publication number: 20150083964Abstract: Apparatus and process for removal of volatile degradation products from the absorbent circuit of a CO2 separation process are provided. The CO2 separation process may use the absorbent circuit in an absorption process and a desorption process. Condensate is withdrawn from a condensation process connected downstream of the desorption process, and purified to substantially free such condensate of degradation products. The purified condensate is recycled back to the absorbent circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2012Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Björn Fischer, Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling, Earl Lawrence Vincent Goetheer, Ralph Joh, Markus Kinzl, Diego Andres Kuettel, Rüdiger Schneider, Jan Harm Urbanus

APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR PURIFICATION OF A NITROSAMINE-CONTAMINATED PRODUCT FROM AN OPERATING PLANT
Publication number: 20130313475Abstract: A process for purifying a product contaminated with nitrosamines from an operating plant is proposed. The contaminated product is heated to a temperature T at which the nitrosamines are thermally destroyed. The temperature T is set at a higher level than the maximum temperature in the operating plant, and maintained for a residence time t. An apparatus for regeneration of a nitrosamine-contaminated product from a CO2 capture plant is also proposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2012Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Björn Fischer, Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling, Earl Lawrence Vincent Goetheer, Ralph Joh, Rüdiger Schneider, Jan Harm Urbanus -
Publication number: 20100182582Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition a radiation beam; a polarization sensor configured at least in part to couple to a reticle stage, wherein components of the reticle polarization sensor can be loaded and unloaded in the lithographic apparatus in the manner used for conventional reticles. In one configuration an active reticle tool includes a rotatable retarder configured to vary the retardation applied to polarized light received from a field point in the illumination system. In another configuration, a passive reticle tool is configured as an array of polarization sensor modules, where the amount of retardation applied to received light by fixed retarders varies according to position of the polarization sensor module. Accordingly, a plurality of retardation conditions for light received at a given field point can be measured, wherein a complete determination of a polarization state of the light at the given field point can be determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2006Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: ASML Netherlands B.V,Inventors: Marcus Adrianus Van De Kerkhof, Wilhelmus Petrus De Boeij, Hendrikus Robertus Marie Van Greevenbroek, Michel Fransois Hubert Klaassen, Haico Victor Kok, Martijn Gerard Dominique Wehrens, Tammo Uitterdijk, Wilhelmus Jacobus Maria Rooijakkers, Johannes Maria Kuiper, Leon Van Dooren, Jacob Sonneveld, Erwin Johannes Martinus Giling
