Solomon Davidovich Labinov 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).

  • Fossil fuel combined cycle power system
    Patent number: 7118606
    Abstract: A system for converting fuel energy to electricity includes a reformer for converting a higher molecular weight gas into at least one lower molecular weight gas, at least one turbine to produce electricity from expansion of at least one of the lower molecular weight gases, and at least one fuel cell. The system can further include at least one separation device for substantially dividing the lower molecular weight gases into at least two gas streams prior to the electrochemical oxidization step. A nuclear reactor can be used to supply at least a portion of the heat the required for the chemical conversion process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2006
    Assignee: UT-Battelle, LLC
    Inventors: Solomon Davidovich Labinov, Timothy Robert Armstrong, Roddie Reagan Judkins
  • New fossil fuel combined cycle power system
    Publication number: 20020160238
    Abstract: A method for converting fuel energy to electricity includes the steps of converting a higher molecular weight gas into at least one lower molecular weight gas, supplying at least one of the lower molecular weight gases to at least one turbine to produce electricity and electrochemically oxidizing at least one of the lower molecular weight gases in fuel cells. A system for converting fuel energy to electricity includes a reformer for converting a higher molecular weight gas into at least one lower molecular weight gas, at least one turbine to produce electricity from expansion of at least one of the lower molecular weight gases, and at least one fuel cell. The system can further include at least one separation device for substantially dividing the lower molecular weight gases into at least two gas streams prior to the electrochemical oxidization step.
