Abstract: An apparatus for capturing CO2 from flue gas includes (a) an absorber, (b) a stripper, (c) a heat exchanger, (d) an amine absorbent circulating through the absorber, the stripper and the heat exchanger, (e) a water washing unit downstream from the flue gas outlet of the absorber, and (f) an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell is connected to the water washing unit and is adapted to adsorb and decompose nitrosamine compounds present in liquid separated by the water washing unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a molten metal battery of liquid bismuth and liquid tin electrodes and a eutectic electrolyte. The electrodes may be coaxial and coplanar. The eutectic electrolyte may be in contact with a surface of each electrode. The eutectic electrolyte may comprise ZnCl2:KCl.

Abstract: Disclosed are activated carbon electrodes fabricated according to a “pore mouth diameter mixture profile” that is optimized for a given electrochemical application. In a given pore mouth diameter mixture profile, the pore mouth diameter and conductivity of activated carbon are tightly controlled and provide unexpected long-term charging/discharging (aka “cycling”) performance. A given “pore mouth diameter mixture profile” optimizes a mixture of pore mouth diameters for a given electrochemical application, such as energy storage, desalination, deionization, hydrolysis, and dialysis, inter alia.

The first deionization cell includes a first reservoir and a first set of electrode pairs. The second deionization cell includes a second reservoir and a second set of electrode pairs.

Abstract: A probe device tests a broadband wireless system. The probe device receives an instruction to execute a plurality of tests. The probe device then executes the plurality of tests to measure performance of the broadband wireless communication system based on the instruction. The probe device determines performance information from the plurality of tests. The probe device stores the performance information in a memory of the probe device.

Abstract: A probe device in a broadband wireless system receives a message and processes the message to determine channel information that indicates performance of channels in the broadband wireless system. The probe device then stores the channel information in a memory in the probe device. In some embodiments, the probe device determines a state of one of the channels. In some embodiments, the states are polling, dedicated, or idle.
