Patent number: 9899933Abstract: An apparatus and corresponding systems and methods for managing electric power, particularly a transformer system and method. An example apparatus includes a chamber configured to contain plasma. The apparatus includes at least two input electrodes disposed at least partially within the chamber, and configured to receive an alternating current into the chamber. The input electrodes are configured to direct the alternating current to induce motion in the plasma. The apparatus also includes at least two output electrodes extending from the chamber. The output electrodes are configured to conduct a direct current, from the induced motion in the plasma, for delivery from the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: TIBBAR PLASMA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Richard A. Nebel, William L. Gibson, Keith Moser

Patent number: 8324434Abstract: The present invention provides an improved hydrogenation processes wherein heat is efficiently managed so that catalyst productivity is optimized. More particularly, in the processes of the present invention, a nonaqueous solvent is added to a reactant to provide a nonaqueous solvent/reactant mixture that can act as a heat sink and absorb at least a portion of the heat generated within the reactor. Desirably, a reaction product, or a solvent with a minimal number of hydroxyl groups, is utilized so that the formation of unwanted byproducts can be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2009Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Dow Global Technologies, LLCInventors: David C. Molzahn, Kenneth A. Burdett, William L. Gibson, Karel J. Kriel, James E. McCreight, Indresh Mathur
