  • Patent number: 12312700
    Abstract: A catalytic system for CO2 capture and sequestration. The system includes a reduction cell for separating a liquid or vapor carrier medium having an anode generating oxygen, a CO2 cathode, and a CO precursor generating hydrogen, oxides of carbon or a hydrocarbon precursor from the carrier medium. In addition, the system includes a power supply for providing electrical power to the anode and the cathode. An electrolysis process occurs where oxygen, hydrogen, and the hydrocarbon precursors are produced. The anode and the cathode include a plurality of geometrical constructs to increase an active surface area of a catalytic surface of the anode and cathode to increase an efficiency of the electrolysis process.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11359296
    Abstract: A CO2 capture and sequestration system. The system includes a reduction cell for separating a solvent-based carrier having an anode generating oxygen and a cathode generating hydrogen from the solvent-based carrier. In addition, the system includes a power supply for providing electrical power to the anode and the cathode. An electrolysis process occurs where oxygen and hydrogen are produced. The anode and the cathode include a plurality of geometrical constructs to increase an active surface area of the anode and cathode to increase an efficiency of the electrolysis process. The geometrical constructs may include vias and pillars.

  • Publication number: 20050059531
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adjustable and portable device for exercising the hand, fingers, wrist and forearm. Any number of mechanisms by which the device can be fully adjusted through a range of force settings allows both rehabilitation and strength training within the same unit. Using combinations of screws, springs, tension and fluids, this exercise device provides the user with versatility not offered by other products. The unit also provides a mechanism for adjustments in hand size to accommodate multiple users and ergonomic fit.
