  • Patent number: 8608836
    Abstract: A gas purifier assembly for providing first (50) and second (38) purified gas streams having an integral heater (54). The assembly can have two separate chambers for gaseous fluid flow for the purpose of purifying a gas stream of hydrogen (34), for example, and a separate distinct stream of gas such as compressed air (46). A centrally located heater heats the first chamber to effect purification of the first gas. Waste heat from the first chamber is transferred to the second chamber via conduction to effect purification of the second gas stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5840172
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ultra-high purity gas generator system, such as a hydrogen gas generator system and method, which employs a direct current source to supply proportional electrical current to a cathode in an electrolyte cell. The system comprises a metal cathode gas generator for hydrogen gas and a DC current for the metal cathode, wherein the output DC line current is continuously modified by a control circuit, which modifies the pulse width into the DC source, based on the variation in hydrogen gas pressure or flow from the cell. In the system and method, direct current is supplied to the palladium or palladium alloy cathode of an electrolytic cell, and the direct current is controlled or switched by monitoring the gas flow or pressure in the cell by a pressure or flow transducer, providing the output voltage to a control circuit.

  • Patent number: 4803594
    Abstract: Current injection electrostatic discharge equipment that includes a discharge capacitor connected to the input terminal of a switch or relay which selectively applies a current discharge from the capacitor to a test tip, the wave shape of the current discharge being shaped to match a standardized waveform. Shaping is achieved by providing first and second inductor coils in series between the output terminal of the switch and the test tip, and by providing an electrically conductive plate connected to the junction of the inductors so as to provide a free space capacitance.
