  • Patent number: 10693314
    Abstract: An electric distribution architecture may comprise a main bus delivering current from a main source to a set of distributed loads at a first voltage wherein a subset of the set requires a second voltage lower than the first voltage. A distribution unit may be connected between the main bus and each load of the subset and may include a voltage converter converting the first voltage to the second voltage. A battery bus may deliver current to the subset at the second voltage from a battery when the main bus is not operating. The battery bus may operate at a third voltage higher than the second voltage on the battery bus. The voltage converter may convert the third voltage to the second voltage for the subset when the main bus is not operating, wherein the battery bus has a weight adequate to accommodate a current at the third voltage.

  • Patent number: 10538433
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing activated carbon from biomass or other solid carbonaceous feed within a housing containing boiler components, by spatial separation of drying, pyrolysis and activation zones as the feed is conveyed across the bottom of the housing, such that the thermal requirements for drying, pyrolysis, and activation of the solid carbonaceous feed occur by direct radiation from the combustion flame located above the drying, pyrolysis and activation zones. The balance of the heat not required for drying, pyrolysis, and activation is used to vaporize and superheat steam as part of a conventional steam/electric power plant.
