Abstract: Thermal conductivity in a stacked IC device can be improved by constructing one or more active temperature control devices within the stacked IC device. In one embodiment, the control devices are thermal electric (TE) devices, such as Peltier devices. The TE devices can then be selectively controlled to remove or add heat, as necessary, to maintain the stacked IC device within a defined temperature range. The active temperature control elements can be P-N junctions created in the stacked IC device and can serve to move the heat laterally and/or vertically, as desired.

Abstract: A gas generating system comprises an air separation module (ASM) in fluid communication with a nitrogen enriched air (NEA) line and an oxygen enriched air (OEA) line. A valve is positioned in the OEA line and an oxygen sensor is positioned in the NEA line. The valve can be modulated in response to the oxygen sensor to create a backpressure forcing more airflow into the NEA line. The OEA line can be backpressured until a predetermined NEA oxygen concentration is reached.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for the efficient decomposition of ozone in an air stream from an air intake of an aircraft. The apparatus includes a titania catalyst support on a substrate, and a catalyst composition on the titania. The catalyst composition comprises a silver-based component, comprising silver metal or silver oxide, and a palladium-based component comprising an oxide of palladium or palladium metal. The air stream may be from a dedicated ambient air compressor or from bleed air from a gas turbine engine. The invention allows for the effective removal of ozone from the air stream to provide cleansed air having an ozone level of 0.1 ppm or less over a range of operating temperatures from 100 to 500° F. and above during a service period of at least 20,000 hours or a time period of not less than 5 years.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for the production of a secure supply of breathable air are important under conditions where threats from chemical and biological weapons may be present. A catalytic oxidation (CATOX) system may include of at least two primary elements: (1) a catalyst to destroy toxic chemicals by oxidation, and (2) a post treatment filter (PTF, also known as a post treatment adsorbent (PTA)) to remove acidic gases that may be produced by reaction over the catalyst and also remove acidic gases that can not be oxidized. Biological materials may be destroyed by sterilization at the CATOX normal operating temperatures. The catalyst and the post treatment filter may be operated in a two-stage manner, each operating at an independent temperature.

Abstract: Embodiments of a stage lighting console are disclosed which may be used to control the light level of a plurality of stage lighting interments. The stage lighting console includes a plurality of sliders, each of which may control a separate lighting instrument and several settings of multiple sliders may be recorded for later playback. The sliders move from a +100% position to a ?100% position such that they may be used to add to or subtract from the illumination of lighting instruments.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for combined conversion of ozone and organic compounds in airplane bleed air. Catalytic converters have previously been used to reduce the levels of ozone in airplane bleed air. However, these converters have not yet provided an efficient system and method for effectively and simultaneously removing both ozone and organic compounds (including hydrocarbons). The present invention accomplishes the goals of removing both harmful substances by providing a washcoat on a single anodized surface layer, wherein the washcoat may contain an active metal oxide which is active for ozone conversion and may be impregnated with an active metal which is active for hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide conversion. Thus, a single system is disclosed that destroys both ozone and hydrocarbons.

Abstract: A method of purifying bleed air from an engine heats the bleed air only to an extent necessary for the bleed air to react under catalysis from a noble-metal-based reactor bed, converting the contaminants to filterable form. The contaminants are then removed with a post-treatment filter. A purifier functioning according to the present invention, which heats the bleed air to a temperature no greater than 450° F. which it attains without a combustor, thus releases less heat to adjoining components than a prior-art purifier, and outputs, purified air at a lower temperature than does a prior-art purifier, which typically needs to include a combustor. The purified air is sufficiently-cool as to be suitable for immediate release into interior compartments occupied by humans or the air conditioning system.
