Patents by Inventor Jim A. Emerick

Jim A. Emerick has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Augmented catalytic heat exchanger system
    Patent number: 7438865
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for the catalytic removal of at least one pollutant from an air stream via a catalytic precooler arranged in series with at least one augmentative catalytic device. The augmentative catalytic device may be located upstream or downstream from the catalytic precooler. The augmentative catalytic device may be integrated with the catalytic precooler, thereby eliminating the need for a separate housing and minimizing weight. Alternatively, the augmentative catalytic device may be disposed within a separate housing, thereby facilitating access for maintenance and decreasing direct maintenance costs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 21, 2008
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Peter C. Collins, Felipe A. Fuentes, Michel A. Jonqueres, Jim A. Emerick
