Patent number: 12544708Abstract: A composition for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture includes 2-aminocyclohexanol, cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, meglumine, or combinations thereof. A process of CO2 capture includes mixing a CO2-containing gas with the composition. A system includes a component for receiving a gas and the composition, which absorbs CO2 from the gas. A further composition includes a first amine solvent selected from 2-aminocyclohexanol, cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and meglumine and a second amine solvent independently selected from 2-aminocyclohexanol, cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, meglumine, ethyl diethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, piperidine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, and monoethanolamine. A further process includes reacting CO2 with an amine selected from 2-aminocyclohexanol, cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and meglumine.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: February 10, 2026Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James Mcdonagh, Benjamin Hardy Wunsch, Theodore G. van Kessel, Flaviu Cipcigan

Patent number: 12115538Abstract: A method and a system are provided for capturing particle emissions from a tire of a vehicle. The system includes a triboelectric generator configured to generate an electric current. The system includes a capture surface configured to have an electric field. The system includes a first electrical connecting line connecting the triboelectric generator to the capture surface. The first electrical connecting line is configured to pass to the capture surface the electric current generated via the triboelectric generator. The passed electric current is used by the capture surface to generate the electric field. The system includes a set of filters attached to the capture surface. A computer program product is also provided which may cause a computer system to adjust a supplementary power flow to the capture surface based on a control signal that is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2021Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James McDonagh, Malgorzata Jadwiga Zimon, Breanndan O'Conchuir

Publication number: 20230290446Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided for featurization of carbon dioxide capture characteristics in molecules. The method inputs a structure-based key of a fixed number of sub-structure descriptors for chemical groups relating to carbon dioxide capture characteristics. Sub-structure searching of each of the sub-structures defined in the key is carried out through candidate molecules represented in a format suitable for searching. A featurization of each candidate molecule is provided in the form of a fixed bit fingerprint indicating a presence or an absence of the sub-structures defined in the key. The fingerprint is applied for screening of molecules for carbon dioxide capture characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: JAMES MCDONAGH, Stamatia Zavitsanou, ALEXANDER HARRISON, FLAVIU CIPCIGAN, Dmitry Zubarev

Publication number: 20230258601Abstract: A tool for analysis of sound wave propagation in an aquatic medium. The tool generates a model representing the aquatic medium as a three-dimensional (3D) Gaussian random field, the 3D Gaussian random field being described by one or more correlation functions. The tool determines a propagation trajectory of a sound wave in the aquatic medium based on the 3D Gaussian random field.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: MALGORZATA JADWIGA ZIMON, JAMES MCDONAGH, BREANNDAN O'CONCHUIR
