Publication number: 20240051824Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for controlling syngas composition from an internal combustion engine-based syngas generator. While air is typically used as an oxidant, with nitrogen (N2) as a diluent, this results in expensive downstream compression, and low feedstock conversion efficiencies. This disclosure provides CO2 as a diluent to reduce N2 concentration in the syngas. In some embodiments, the CO2 diluent may be from either a biogas processing coupled with methanol, DME, and/or hydrocarbon production; or natural gas processing coupled with Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and/or other hydrocarbon synthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Sameer Paravathikar, John R. Carpenter

Patent number: 8539340Abstract: The present technique serves Web pages that are mixed with dynamic data from an embedded system using object files to access the dynamic data. The technique constructs the object files in the embedded system in real-time separate from the Web pages. The technique then merges the dynamic data with the Web pages and displays the data-populated Web pages via a Web browser. The data/page merging process may be performed at either the server side or the client side.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2002Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert S.

Publication number: 20030068339Abstract: An antibiotic formulation for animals is provided. This formulation includes florfenicol, a preservative and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The florfenicol and preservative are dissolved in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent. The formulation is suitable for veterinary applications in colder temperatures. More specifically, it is usable during winter months because it has a lower cold temperature viscosity than previous formulations resulting in it having superior syringeability.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2001Publication date: April 10, 2003Applicant: Phoenix Scientific, Inc.Inventors: John R.
