Robert Wuest has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10094691
    Abstract: A flow sensor arrangement for determining the flow of a fluid comprises a substrate. A heater is arranged in or on the substrate as well as at least one first thermocouple for generating a first signal proportional to a temperature difference between a location downstream from the heater and a first reference location, and at least one second thermocouple for generating a second signal proportional to a temperature difference between a location upstream from the heater and a second reference location which second reference location is different from the first reference location. In addition, at least one third thermocouple is arranged in or on the substrate for generating a third signal proportional to a temperature difference between the first reference location and the second reference location.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9155810
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of treating atmospheres that are laden with substances that are nauseating and/or detrimental to human or animal health, specifically to the field of deodorising, perfuming, and/or purifying air at industrial or private sites. For this purpose, there is disclosed a method for enriching, preferably saturating, ordinary atmospheric air with active substances present in the gas phase, to a device for implementing the method, and to the use of the method for the treatment of polluted atmospheres. The method is especially characterized in that it advantageously includes a step of reinjecting a portion of the enriched gaseous mixture (MG) into an enrichment or saturation chamber (7) in order to increase the enrichment rate of the gaseous mixture (MG) or to maintain the mixture at the maximum saturation level thereof.

  • Publication number: 20060120913
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for deodonising large-scale plants, in which solid or liquid malodorous materials are stored, by means of treatment of the unpurified air above the surface of the malodorous materials with active agents which react with or mask malodorous substances in the air. The active agents are dispersed in a matrix of polymers comprising cross-linked hydrophilic groups and together with the above form a spongy mass from which the active agents are slowly released and vaporised. The spongy material is incorporated between two parallel plates (3), which are mounted above the surface of the malodorous materials or at the edge of the large-sized plant and an airflow runs between the plates (3) and releases the active agents.
