A system and process are disclosed for the controlled combustion of a wide variety of hydrocarbon feedstocks to produce thermal energy, liquid fuels, and other valuable products with little or no emissions. The hydrocarbon feeds, such as coal and biomass, are first gasified and then oxidized in a two-chamber system / process using pure oxygen rather than ambient air. A portion of the intermediate gases generated in the system / process are sent to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process for conversion into diesel fuel and other desired liquid hydrocarbons. The remaining intermediate gases are circulated and recycled through each of the gasification / oxidation chambers in order to maximize energy production. The energy produced through the system / process is used to generate steam and produce power through conventional steam turbine technology. In addition to the release of heat energy, the hydrocarbon fuels are oxidized to the pure product compounds of water and carbon dioxide, which are subsequently purified and marketed. The system / process minimizes environmental emissions.

Method and system integrating combustion turbine with a regenerative solar rankine power plant
InactiveUS20080092551A1Improve cycle efficiencyReduce heatAuxillary drivesFrom solar energyCombustionOperation mode
A combustion turbine power generation system can be combined with a solar Rankine power generation system such that the integrated system has improved power generation efficiency over two stand-alone systems. This novelty has the solar heat input providing the heat of vaporization as well as a certain amount of superheat such that if the combustion turbine is not available, or is used in a different and more economical mode of operation, the solar Rankine cycle can be operated independently in a cost effective and efficient manner. In addition, to further improve the method of independent cycle operation, regenerative feedwater heating is proposed to be added to the solar Rankine cycle and to simplify the independent operation of the two cycles. The reheat cycle, as proposed by Cohen, is eliminated. Finally, the concept of variable pressure operation is proposed for this novelty to further ease the operation and improve the economics of independent cycle operations.

An improved thermal interface between an integrated circuit chip and a heat sink comprises a copper grid embedded in a layer of a solder material that has a fusion temperature higher than the maximum operating temperature of the semiconductor chip, and bonds to the semiconductor chip and the heat sink when heated to the fusion temperature of the solder material in the presence of a soldering flux. The copper grid has high thermal conductivity so that the amount of solder material needed for an efficient thermal interface is reduced and solder materials with less expensive components may be used. The copper grid also tends to mitigate local hot spots by enhancing lateral heat transfer, and inhibits solder spreading during formation of the thermal interface.

A secondary button cell battery that is particularly suited for use in hearing aid appliances, and an associated charging station. Recharging is accomplished without direct conductive connection between the source of the energy and either the battery or its appliance. Radio frequency energy is harvested in an enclosed chamber in a charging station and applied to the recharging of the button cell. Such energy is harvested by the use of one or more energy harvesting diodes connected in parallel with the battery. Multiple diodes connected in parallel or serial may be used to adjust charging current or voltage or both. Charge control is provided by directly or indirectly detecting the level of charge on the cell. Where the associated appliance is a hearing aid, the charge level detection may be accomplished acoustically by determining the characteristics of the sound emitted by the hearing aid, and charging is accomplished with the cell within the hearing aid appliance.
