    摘要: A electro-desorption compression system according to the present invention comprises an enclosure which includes first and second spaced-apart electrical conductors, a sorbent which is positioned in the enclosure between the first and second conductors, a sorbate which is capable of combining with the sorbent in an adsorption reaction to form a sorbate/sorbent compound, a power supply which is connected to the first and second conductors and which generates an electrical current that is conducted through the sorbate/sorbent compound to desorb the sorbate from the sorbent in a desorption reaction, and a pressure chamber which is connected to the enclosure and which receives the sorbate from the enclosure during the desorption reaction and releases the sorbate into the enclosure during the adsorption reaction. The adsorption and desorption reactions are repeated to cycle the sorbate between a relatively low pressure state during the adsorption reaction and a relatively high pressure state during the desorption reaction. Furthermore, the desorption reaction is substantially non-thermal.

    摘要: An electro-desorption actuator comprises a fixed member, a movable member which is coupled to the fixed member, a pressure chamber which is disposed between the fixed member and the movable member, and a sorption compression system which is in communication with the pressure chamber. The sorption compression system comprises first and second electrical conductors, a sorbent which is positioned between the first and second conductors, a sorbate which is capable of combining with the sorbent in an adsorption reaction to form a sorbate/sorbent compound, and a power supply which is connected to the conductors and which is selectively actuated to generate a current that is conducted through the sorbate/sorbent compound to desorb the sorbate from the sorbent in a desorption reaction. The sorbate is communicated from the sorption compression system to the pressure chamber during the desorption reaction and from the pressure chamber back to the sorption compression system during the adsorption reaction. Thus, during the desorption reaction a relatively high pressure is created in the pressure chamber which will displace the movable member in one direction, and during the adsorption reaction a relatively low pressure is created in the pressure chamber which will displace the movable member in the opposite direction.

    摘要: A low permeability hose system for providing an impermeable length of tube to transfer fluids that is flexible. The low permeability hose system generally includes a hose defining a fluid passage and an impermeable layer attached to the exterior surface of the hose. The impermeable layer is comprised of an aluminum coated heat sealable film that is impermeable to both liquids and gases. A protective layer may be attached to the impermeable layer to protect the impermeable layer from damage.

    摘要: An integrated digital light modulator. In one embodiment, a light beam is split into a set of binary weighted beams which are then individually switched on or off by an optical switch. The weighted beams which are conveyed by the optical switches are then recombined to produce a modulated beam. In this manner, a fast inexpensive integrated digital light modulator may be advantageously obtained. Broadly speaking, the present invention contemplates a digital optical power modulator that comprises a binary power divider and an optical modulator. The binary power divider is configured to receive an input light beam and split it into a set of weighted beams. The optical powers of the weighted beams are related in that the ratio of the optical powers of any two weighted beams is substantially an integer power of two. The optical modulator receives the set of weighted beams from the binary power divider and receives a digital signal. The optical modulator is configured to convey weighted beams that correspond to asserted bits in the digital signal. The present invention may further include an optical combiner coupled to receive the weighted beams from the optical modulator and configured to combine the weighted beams to produce a modulated beam having a discrete optical power. A lookup table may be included to convert a desired digital power value into the digital signal provided to the optical modulator.
