- 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.

- Patent Number:
- US 6428754 B2
- 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 temp…

- Description:
A catalytic carbon formation technique in a carbon fiber substrate is disclosed. The carbon fiber substrate is first impregnated with a catalyst and is thereafter heated in an atmosphere rich in carbon and hydrogen. 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 i…
