  • Contact methods for formation of Lewis gas/liquid systems and recovery of Lewis gas therefrom
    Patent number: 7736420
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improvement in apparatus and process for the formation of a complex of Lewis acidic or Lewis basic gases in a reactive liquid of opposite character and for the breaking (fragmentation) of said complex associated with the recovery of the Lewis gas therefrom. The improvement resides in forming finely divided droplets of reactive liquid and controlling the temperature, pressure and concentration of said Lewis gas of opposite character to provide for (a) the formation of said complex between said gas and reactive liquid or (b) the breaking of said complex and the recovery of the atomized droplets of reactive liquid.

  • Computer-implemented system and method for analyzing mixtures of gases
    Patent number: 7460958
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for converting the resistances of an array of metal oxide sensors into constituents and concentrations of a multi-component gas provided around the sensor array. The method includes preprocessing the resistances of the sensor array; selecting a model that calculates the constituents and concentrations of the multi-component gas based on the preprocessed resistances; and post-processing the constituents and concentrations of the multi-component gas generated by the selected model to provide the actual constituents and concentrations of the multi-component gas.
