  • Patent number: 12371320
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatus arranged and designed for converting non-methane hydrocarbon gases into multiple product gas streams including a predominately hydrogen gas stream and a predominately methane gas steam. Hydrocarbon gas streams are reformed, cracked, or converted into a synthesis gas stream and methane gas stream by receiving a volume of flare gas or other hydrocarbon liquid or gas feed, where the volume of hydrocarbon feed includes a volume of methane and a volume of nonmethane hydrocarbons. The hydrogen contained in the syngas may be separated into a pure hydrogen gas stream. A corresponding gas conversion system can include a super heater to provide a hydrocarbon feed/steam mixture, a heavy hydrocarbon reactor for synthesis gas formation, and a hydrogen separator to recover the hydrogen portion of the synthesis gas.

  • Patent number: 12251034
    Abstract: A frame assembly for supporting a flat article. In one aspect, the frame assembly may include a stack including a transparent window panel and a frame. The frame may include a floor structure for supporting the stack and an outer annular wall coupled to and surrounding the floor structure, the outer annular wall including a plurality of corners, an outer surface defining a periphery of the frame, an inner surface defining a display cavity, and a front edge that defines a display opening configured to allow the stack to pass therethrough into the display cavity. The outer annular wall may have a non-uniform thickness. The corner portions may have lower and upper portions, with the lower portions having a greater thickness than the lower portions.

  • Publication number: 20250064228
    Abstract: A frame apparatus, a kit of parts which includes multiple frames and a connector bracket for connecting the frames together, and a method of interconnecting a plurality of frames and hanging the same from a support surface. The frame apparatus may be a front-loading frame whereby display items are inserted into a display cavity of the frame through an opening in the front surface of the frame through which the display cavity is viewed. The frame may include an outer annular wall that defines the display cavity, an inner annular wall that is spaced apart from the outer annular wall, and a floor that extends between the inner and outer annular walls. The floor may comprise a plurality of apertures to allow for attachment of the frame to various accessories including hanging brackets, connector brackets, trays, and the like.

  • Patent number: 12035823
    Abstract: A frame apparatus for displaying an article. The frame apparatus includes a support structure having a frame and a backer panel. A plurality of slots are formed into the backer panel that include a first slot that is elongated along a first axis that is parallel to top and bottom edges of the support structure and a second slot that is elongated along a second axis that is parallel to lateral edges of the support structure. The frame apparatus may include a hanging element for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The hanging element may be configured to be slidably coupled to the support structure such that the hanging element can slide back and forth within one of the slots while remaining coupled to the support structure. This structure enables the frame apparatus to move side-to-side along the support surface while hanging therefrom.

  • Patent number: 11744364
    Abstract: A wall hanging system for hanging an article from a support surface such as a wall. The article may have a first mounting channel that is elongated along a first channel axis. The system includes a surface mounting element that is configured to be coupled to the support surface with a portion of the surface mounting element protruding from the support surface. Furthermore, there is a cam lock slidably coupled to the article along the first mounting channel. The cam lock has a longitudinal axis and a receiving cavity that is configured to receive a distal portion of the portion of the surface mounting element. The cam lock is configured to be locked to the surface mounting element by rotating the cam lock about the longitudinal axis while the distal portion of the portion of the surface mounting element is located within the receiving cavity of the cam lock.
