Abstract: An image capture system is provided. The image capture system for capturing an image of an object includes a light emitting module, a lens, a base unit and a filter unit. The light emitting module provides a plurality of light beams to form a reference area. The base unit includes a light sensor corresponding to the lens. The filter unit includes at least one visible light passing portion and at least one invisible light passing portion. The filter unit is driven to position one of the visible light passing portion and the invisible light passing portion between the lens and the light sensor. The actual size of the object can be estimated via the reference area.

Abstract: A startup burner for rapidly heating a catalyst in a reformer, as well as related methods and modules, is disclosed.

Abstract: Devices for cooling and humidifying a reformate stream from a reforming reactor as well as related methods, modules and systems includes a heat exchanger and a sprayer. The heat exchanger has an inlet, an outlet, and a conduit between the inlet and the outlet. The heat exchanger is adapted to allow a flow of a first fluid (e.g. water) inside the conduit and to establish a heat exchange relationship between the first fluid and a second fluid (e.g. reformate from a reforming reactor) flowing outside the conduit. The sprayer is coupled to the outlet of the heat exchanger for spraying the first fluid exiting the heat exchanger into the second fluid.

Abstract: An axis-adjustable optical device includes: a base; a first adjustment unit including a biasing component disposed between a support seat and the base, and a plurality of screw fasteners for coupling the support seat to the base; a second adjustment unit including a guide hoop coupled and pivotable relative to a pivot seat on the support seat; and a lens unit including a barrel that defines an optical axis, and that has a first segment having a universal coupling relation with a holding seat on the support seat, and a second segment having the guide hoop sleeved thereon. Pivotal movement of the guide hoop relative to the pivot seat drives movement of the barrel to adjust the optical axis.

Abstract: A housing containing two or more individual operating components called modules is disclosed. The modules themselves are independently contained in one or more vessels with attendant connectivity structures such as pipes, tubes, wires and the like. Each such vessel or device is configured to conduct at least one unit reaction or operation necessary or desired for generating or purifying a hydrogen enriched product gas formed from a hydrocarbon feed stock. Any vessel or zone in which such a unit operation is conducted, and is separately housed with respect at least one other vessel or zone for conducting a unit operation, is considered a module.
