  • Publication number: 20240139717
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for ammonia decomposition, a manufacturing method therefor, and a method for producing hydrogen using the same. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a catalyst for ammonia decomposition, a manufacturing method therefor, and a method for producing hydrogen using the same, in which by manufacturing a catalyst for decomposition of ammonia using a solvothermal synthesis method to which alcohol is applied, an ammonia conversion rate can be improved due to excellent catalytic activity in an ammonia decomposition reaction, and hydrogen can be efficiently produced from ammonia due to long-term stability even at a high temperature and for long periods of time.

  • Patent number: 11450992
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a plug load management system having automatic and dynamic load detection, meaning it has the ability to identify devices that are plugged into outlets of a building and determine the location of the plug load down to the specific outlet. When a device is moved, the plug load management system can determine this change and update accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11236309
    Abstract: A recombinant vector according to an embodiment of the present invention may be used for producing a reconstituted cytochrome P450 oxygenase-reductase fusion protein. Oxygenase and reductase may be independently expressed in a host cell into which the recombinant vector is introduced, and then may be fused with a split intein so that it is possible to increase the heme content contained in the active site of the oxygenase and improve enzyme activity and stability.

  • Patent number: 6694276
    Abstract: There is described a method for controlling a navigation device, such as a satellite navigation device like a GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO or other receiver, and a navigation device allowing this control method to be implemented. According to the invention, the operation of the navigation device is adjusted as a function of a measurement of the velocity (v) of the navigation device for the purpose of saving energy. In particular, the operating frequency (fck) of the processing unit (18) with which the navigation device is fitted is adjusted to a plurality of so-called reduced operating frequencies (fck2, fck3, fck4, fck5) lower than the normal operating frequency (fck1) as a function of the value of the velocity measurement (v). The invention is intended in particular to allow a navigation device to be integrated in a portable object of small volume powered by a battery or a rechargeable accumulator, such as a timepiece.

  • Patent number: 5790698
    Abstract: An identification arrangement for a character transcribed onto a surface has sensors, circuits for periodically detecting the state of the output signals from the sensors, and a change-of-state detector for determining which, among the output signals, is in a high state. Each of the output signals in a high state is compared with the output signal which had been produced by the same sensor during detection of the preceding state. A storage unit stores an identifier corresponding to the sensors for which a change of state has thus been detected, the stored identifiers thus forming a sequence of identifiers corresponding to the transcribed character. The stored sequence of identifiers is compared with at least one sequence of reference identifiers in order to identify the transcribed character.
