Francois-Gros D'Aillon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Piston-type transfer pump device, method for transferring particulate solid matter using such a device, application of the method to the feeding of a gasification reactor
    Patent number: 9903351
    Abstract: A device for transfer of granular solid material between two chambers at different pressures. A piston type transfer pump device used in a horizontal position transfers granular material into the compression chamber by gravity and evacuates the material into the exhaust chamber at a higher pressure. Such a device may for example find an application for feeding a gasification reactor with biomass.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2018
    Assignee: Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives
    Inventors: Luc-Francois Gros-D'Aillon, Thierry Chataing, Sylvie Rouge

  • Catalsimeter with time measuring circuitry for determining reactant concentration level
    Patent number: 4015121
    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for determining the concentration of a first reactant in a medium. A disc is saturated with a solution containing the first reactant and immersed into a second reactant fluid. A chemical reaction occurs between the first and second reactants to produce a gas which is trapped by the disc. The disc is buoyed to the surface of the second reactant fluid by the gas produced. The process is electronically timed using photocells to start and stop an electronic clock and a digital display displays the time elapsed in tenths of seconds.
