  • Destruction of PFAS via an oxidation process and apparatus suitable for transportation to contaminated sites
    Patent number: 11970409
    Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

  • Method for signal extraction in a universal sensor IC
    Patent number: 7285964
    Abstract: A apparatus and method for creating a universally usable and configurable sensor platform which is used in conjunction with various sensor and sensing elements to sense and measure environmental conditions which incorporates inputs from multiple sensors 6-9 and 12-14. The apparatus incorporates an oscillator 3 which provides a signal whose frequency varies according to the inputs from sensors 6-9 and 12-14 in combination with a microprocessor 1. A cordic block 61 allows for supplemental calculations of trigonometric operations and functions. An output unit 2 converts the signals received from microprocessor 1 into a variety of serial protocols.

  • Vehicle engine status detection mechanism for presenting engine status to third-party automotive accessories
    Patent number: 6924737
    Abstract: A circuit for detecting voltage states output from a voltage generating engine has a first connection point connecting the circuit to a voltage output of the engine, a second connection point connecting the circuit to electrical ground and a digital output signal port for providing binary output values. The circuit detects voltage levels ranging above and below a nominal voltage level and assigns binary values to the detected states, the values used as instruction to a device coupled to the circuit.
