- Patent Number:
- US 7908115 B2
- Description:
Plasma sensors, systems and related methods are described. An example method for predicting an event includes providing a carrier signal across two electrodes and forming a plasma between the two electrodes. The example method also includes measuring a modulated signal from the plasma, manipulating the modulated signal to produce a value and comparing the value to a threshold. Finally, the example method includes determining the likelihood of the event based on the comparison.

- Description
- The present invention relates to a method of controlling an aircraft, missile, munition or ground vehicle with plasma actuators, and more particularly to controlling fluid flow across their surfaces or other surfaces, which would benefit from such a method. The method includes the design of an aerodynamic plasma actuator for the purpose of controlling airflow separation over a control surface of a aircraft, missile, or a ground vehicle, and more particularly to the method of determining a modulation frequency for the plasma actuator for the purpose of fluid flow control over these vehicles. The various embodiments provide the steps to increase the efficiency of aircraft, missiles, munitions and ground vehicles. The method of flow control provides a means for reducing aircraft, missile's, munition's and ground vehicle's power requirements. These methods also provide alternate means for aerodynamic control using low-power hingeless plasma actuator devices.

- Method and Apparatus for treating exhaust gases
- Description
- An exhaust gas treatment system and method for treating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes a catalytic converter and a catalytic preheater or igniter upstream of the catalytic converter. A bypass passage extends around the igniter such that during the ignition period about two-thirds of the exhaust gas is bypassed around the igniter and one-third passes through the igniter. The igniter raises the temperature of the exhaust gases passing therethrough to an adiabatic temperature of about 900.degree. K. Accordingly, the flow through the igniter combined with the flow through the bypass passage raises the average temperature of the combined exhaust gases to approximately 700.degree. K., which is sufficient to ignite the catalytic converter at substantially the leading edge thereof. Accordingly, normal convective flow of the exhaust gases through the catalytic converter assists in propagating ignition of the converter. A temperature sensor in the catalytic converter causes a controller to operate a valve to divert substantially all of the exhaust gas flow through the bypass passage after the catalytic converter has ignited.

The catalyst is typically a Group VIII metal and may be selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and cobalt. An incipient wetness technique for impregnating the substrate is also disclosed. A salt of the catalyst is provided in solution and void volume of the substrate is determined. The carbon fiber is then impregnated with a volume of the solution which is incrementally less that the determined void volume.
