  • Patent number: 10137398
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method of removing pollutants from exhaust gas by wet scrubbing process. In a scrubber apparatus of the present disclosure, an exhaust gas is first scrubbed in a primary mixing zone, the partially scrubbed gas discharged from the primary mixing zone is subsequently mixed forcibly in a secondary mixing zone before being discharged for polishing, demisting and/or reheating.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090151563
    Abstract: An extraction device, preferably a scrubbing device, for a gas comprising a diffuser for transmitting a gas through a diffusing zone of the diffuser and means for jetting a stream of liquid over the whole of the diffusing zone such that the gas is entrained by the stream of liquid. A method is also provided, including jetting a stream of liquid over the whole of a diffusing zone of a diffuser and transmitting a gas through the diffusing zone into contact with the steam of liquid.

  • Patent number: 6723701
    Abstract: The in vivo circulating life and/or absorption of cationic therapeutic proteins, including but not limited to basic proteins such as NT-3 and BDNF, can be increased by generating analogs that have a lower isoelectric point and, preferably, also a lower protein charge relative to the protein of native sequence.

  • Patent number: 6029530
    Abstract: An exemplary inspection apparatus for inspecting an article comprises a flexible sensor for sensing a characteristic of the article, which sensor conforms to a surface of the article, a finger cover which fits over a finger of a user, and an attachment device for removably attaching the sensor to the finger cover. The apparatus allows the user to traverse the sensor over a large range of smoothly varying concave or convex inspection surfaces, for example, while providing the user with direct control of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 5841277
    Abstract: A probe, such as an eddy current probe, which can be moved by hand to a surface to be tested. A toroidal-shaped first resilient member contacts the bottom face of a support member. An elastic membrane extends over the bore of the first resilient member, contacts the bottom lateral surface of the first resilient member, and is unattached to the radially-inward-facing surface of the first resilient member. A more elastic, second resilient member is placed in the bore, is unattached to the first resilient member, and contacts the bottom surface of the elastic membrane. A flexible, surface-conformable, eddy current sensing coil overlies a portion of the bottom side of the second resilient member.
