  • Method for detecting and measuring low concentrations of contaminants using attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy in the mid-IR range
    Patent number: 8735822
    Abstract: A spectroscopic method is disclosed for detecting and measuring contaminants in fluids such as water or oil, where the hydrophilicity of the contaminant is substantially different from that of the contaminated fluid. Good calibrations can be obtained at very low concentrations using infrared spectroscopy with ATR crystals that have not been additionally coated or otherwise modified.

  • Method for zonal injection of chemicals into a furnace convective pass to reduce pollutants from flue gases
    Patent number: 7622093
    Abstract: Zonal injection of varying compositions of chemicals, particularly an ammonia-based reagent and hydrocarbon, through injection lances arranged in a grid formation to define planar zones in a furnace convective pass of a furnace. The supply of chemicals is controlled so as to be individually determined for each discrete zone of the grid depending on conditions in that zone.

  • Series coupled filters where the first filter is a dielectric resonator filter with cross-coupling
    Patent number: 5841330
    Abstract: A dielectric resonator filter operating in a magnetic dipole mode includes a plurality of dielectric resonators disposed in a plurality of dielectric resonator cavities. A plurality of coupling mechanism provide an in-line coupling factor between respective resonators of electrically adjacent dielectric resonator cavities. At least one cross-coupling device provides cross-coupling between respective resonators of non-adjacent dielectric resonator cavities. A magnitude and sign of the in-line coupling factors and the cross-coupling factor, provide a dielectric resonator filter, for which a desired amplitude and phase response can be provided.
