  • USE OF UV-ACTIVATED ENZYMES TO IMPLEMENT OXIDATION REACTIONS AND THE CORRESPONDING PROCESSES
    Publication number: 20230340546
    Abstract: The use of UV-activated Copper Radical Oxidase (CRO) enzymes in the implementation of oxidation reactions. Also, a process for oxidizing organic compounds using enzymes which are activated by UV light. The process also leads to concomitant formation of hydrogen peroxide, that can optionally be used in hydrogen peroxide mediated processes. Further, the process relates to the oxidation of alcohols in aldehydes.

  • System and apparatus for circuit protection within an equipment enclosure
    Patent number: 8598484
    Abstract: An enclosure is provided for use with a circuit protection system having at least one exhaust duct configured to route exhaust gases out of the circuit protection system. The enclosure includes a first barrier coupled to the circuit protection system, a second barrier coupled to the circuit protection system, and a top wall coupled to the first barrier and the second barrier. The first barrier and the second barrier define an exhaust plenum coupled in flow communication with the at least one exhaust duct. A vent extends through the top wall and is coupled in flow communication with the exhaust plenum to route the exhaust gases out of the enclosure.
