  • Patent number: 9702543
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for controlling combustion gas output in direct steam generation for oil recovery. A direct combustion steam generator burns a fuel and an oxygen-containing gas mixture to produce combustion products including steam, CO2 and N2. Supplemental oxygen is separately supplied to the combustion steam generator to adjust the oxygen content of the oxygen-containing gas mixture during the combustion process in order to adjust the ratio of CO2 to N2 produced in the combustion products.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050271754
    Abstract: The present invention represents a formulation and method for preventing or reducing the effects of veisalgia or alcohol “hangover.” More particularly, the present invention relates to a treatment which provides nutritional requirements in the form of L-glutamine, L-cysteine, fumaric acid, succinic acid, young barley grass juice powder, vitamin B-12, vitamin B-1, calcium ascorbate, and dextrose. The composition may be ingested before, before and during, or after consumption of ethyl alcohol. The composition of the present invention is made available in several forms including, but not limited to, capsule, tablet or liquid form suitable for administration for amelioration of alcohol induced hangover symptoms. This treatment enables rapid relief of symptoms in affected individuals by slowing or reducing the conversion of ethanol into acetaldehyde, a toxic substance resulting from alcohol metabolism.
