  • Patent number: 10351256
    Abstract: In an example, an indication system includes a plurality of light sources communicatively coupled with a control system. The indication system can be used with a refueling system, including a hose for supplying fuel to a receiver aircraft. Each light source is configured to simultaneously emit visible light and infrared light, and is operable at a dim setting and a bright setting. The control system receives refueling data from the refueling system. The refueling data includes position data indicating a position of the receiver aircraft relative to the refueling system. The control system is configured to, when the refueling data indicates that the position of the receiver aircraft is in a refueling range, activate at least one refueling light source of the plurality of refueling light sources at the bright setting and activate a remainder of the refueling light sources at the dim setting.

  • Patent number: 5698011
    Abstract: A process for separating the components of a gas mixture, including a sterilant gas and a diluent gas is disclosed. The gas mixture is fed to a membrane separation unit within which a perm-selective membrane is located which allows migration of diluent gas and sterilant gas at different rates. Both sterilant-rich and diluent-rich gas streams are withdrawn from the membrane separation unit and optionally recovered or further processed to a less hazardous compound. The process may be utilized to separate and treat the constituents of the exhaust gases from a chemical sterilization process of which the common components are olefin oxides such as ethylene oxide as a sterilant and chlorofluorocarbons (freon) such as dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-1) as a diluent.
