  • Patent number: 8943842
    Abstract: A process and apparatus that includes a cryogenic source for providing a cryogenic fluid for vaporization, a cryogenic pump in fluid flow communication with the cryogenic source for increasing the pressure of the cryogenic fluid, an unfired vaporizer coolant circuit 110 in fluid flow communication with the cryogenic pump and adapted to accept the cryogenic fluid to form a heated stream, a direct-fired vaporizer downstream and in fluid flow communication with the unfired vaporizer coolant circuit 110 and adapted to accept the heated stream from the unfired vaporizer coolant circuit to form a superheated stream; and a diesel engine power unit 118 to provide power to the cryogenic pump, the unfired vaporizer coolant circuit 110, and the direct-fired vaporizer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6751699
    Abstract: FC and FX mini-hubs with a limited number of ports, e.a., 4-8 ports, provide a wide variety of configurations for small form factors. The mini-hubs provide compact, low cost hubs for form factors that can include PMC, CompactPCI, and VME. The mini-hubs are installed into an unused system slot of a host computer or as a mezzanine card for use in the host computer. Thus, the mini-hubs use power received directly from the backplane of the host computer so that no external power connections are required and mechanical support is provided by the system chassis or carrier card into which a mini-hub is installed. The mini-hubs eliminate external communication/control cabling since managed mini-hubs are controlled directly via the system bus of the host computer. This direct communication also reduces system latency.
