  • Patent number: 9028679
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to a system and method to remove hydrogen sulfide from sour water and sour oil. In particular, hydrogen sulfide is removed from sour water and sour oil without the need for special chemicals, such as catalyst chemicals, scavenger chemicals, hydrocarbon sources, or a large scale facility. The system and method in the present invention is particularly useful in exploratory oil and gas fields, where large facilities to remove hydrogen sulfide may be inaccessible. The present invention addresses the need for safe and cost effective transport of the deadly neurotoxin. Particular embodiments involve a system and method that can be executed both on a small and large scale to sweeten sour water and sour oil.

  • Patent number: 7448021
    Abstract: A system and method for combining video/audio content with programmatic content perform the following steps: generating authoring output comprising a definition for a variable, and further comprising a representation of the video/audio content; selecting a source file, the source file comprising the variable; searching the source file for the variable, and replacing the variable with the definition for the variable; generating programmatic content in response to the searching; and generating an image as a function of the programmatic content and the representation of the audio/video content.

  • Patent number: 7327210
    Abstract: A microwave filter and method for remotely tuning a microwave filter from one sub-band to another sub-band using metallic rings to adjust the capacitance or inductance of the resonator. In adjusting the capacitance, a plurality of metallic rings are disposed in the upper section or end of the resonator. Each ring has an RF switch that connects or disconnects each ring to ground, thereby varying the capacitance of the resonator. In adjusting the inductance, a plurality of metallic rings are disposed perpendicular to the magnetic field of the resonator. Each ring has an RF switch disposed within the electrical path of the ring that opens or closes the electrical path of each ring. By opening and closing each ring, the magnetic field of the resonator is altered, thereby varying the inductance of the resonator.

  • Patent number: 6642814
    Abstract: A system for inductively cross coupling resonators. Two resonators are interconnected by a cross coupler with the two ends, each end having a hole. The holes secures each end of the cross coupler to one of the resonators. The use of a stamped piece as a cross coupler results in a repeatable placement between resonators that minimizes any variation in coupling between resonators due to human error during assembly. This repeatability reduces assembly time and assembly cost.
