  • Time correlated single photon counting by time to digital conversion
    Patent number: 8947659
    Abstract: A time correlated single photon counting system having a time to digital converter triggered by a laser fire event detector and the reception of a single photon. The system may be used for chemical agent detection based on Rayleigh scattering using optical time domain reflectometry techniques. The system may also be used for Raman detection using frequency to time transformations.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for removing mercury vapor from flue gas
    Publication number: 20020114749
    Abstract: Process for removing elemental mercury vapor from flue gas which comprises contacting the flue gas with a gaseous oxidizing agent at a gaseous oxidizing agent region to render the elemental mercury vapor more easily oxidized. The flue gas is then subjected to oxidation at a point downstream of the gaseous oxidizing agent region to oxidize the elemental mercury vapor and thereby render it more easily removed.
