US Patent:

20090038932, Feb 12, 2009
Filed:

Aug 8, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/835854
Inventors:

Kayte M. Denslow - Richland WA, US
Gerald J. Posakony - Richland WA, US
Leonard J. Bond - Kennewick WA, US
Aaron A. Diaz - Richland WA, US
Mikhail S. Alnajjar - Richland WA, US
James A. Franz - Kennewick WA, US
International Classification:

B01J 19/12
C07C 1/00
US Classification:

20415715, 204193
Abstract:

A system, method, and device are described for ultrasonic treatment of viscous fluids, including, e.g., crude oils that provide a variety of desired modifications. The invention includes a container having a circumvolving outer wall configured to allow passage of a quantity of a material within a passageway therein and ultrasonic transducers that attach to and circumvolve the outer wall of the container. The ultrasonic transducers transmit ultrasonic energy into material within the container at preselected frequencies thereby achieving desired effects.

Filed:

Feb 28, 2019
Appl. No.:

16/288673
Inventors:

- Richland WA, US
Curtis J. Larimer - Richland WA, US
Kayte M. Denslow - Richland WA, US
Michael S. Hughes - Richland WA, US
Francesco Luzi - Kennewick WA, US
Assignee:

BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE - Richland WA
International Classification:

G01N 29/44
B23K 20/10
G01N 29/12
G05B 19/401
G05B 19/406
Abstract:

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media having programs are described for monitoring an ultrasonic bonding operation via acoustic and/or vibration measurements and analyzing the measurements in order to predict and/or characterize the quality of a weld resulting from the bonding operation. The measurements are non-destructively acquired and the characterization is expressed as a bond quality index value.

US Patent:

20170063327, Mar 2, 2017
Filed:

Aug 24, 2016
Appl. No.:

15/246073
Inventors:

- Richland WA, US
Matthew S. Taubman - Richland WA, US
Kayte M. Denslow - Richland WA, US
Calvin G. Anderson - Richland WA, US
Assignee:

Battelle Memorial Institute - Richland WA
International Classification:

H03H 9/13
Abstract:

Transducer driving methods and transducer driving systems are described. According to one aspect, a transducer driving method includes providing a plurality of initial driving signals to a transducer, wherein each of the initial driving signals has a respective one of a plurality of different frequencies, identifying one of the frequencies where the transducer has a reduced impedance as a result of the provision of one of the initial driving signals having the one frequency to the transducer compared with impedances of the transducer resulting from the provision of others of the initial driving signals having others of the frequencies to the transducer, determining that the identified one of the frequencies is not acceptable for driving the transducer, as a result of the determining, identifying another of the frequencies, and driving the transducer using another driving signal having the another frequency.

US Patent:

20160257893, Sep 8, 2016
Filed:

May 13, 2016
Appl. No.:

15/154870
Inventors:

- Richland WA, US
Benjamin Q. Roberts - Seven Fields PA, US
Kayte M. Denslow - Richland WA, US
International Classification:

C10G 45/02
C10G 47/02
Abstract:

Hydroprocessing can be performed at low pressure using acoustic energy. For example, hydroprocessing a feedstock having one or more hydrocarbon compounds carried in, or mixed with, a transport gas involves flowing the feedstock through a reaction zone in a reactor that has a bulk pressure less than 68 atm and applying acoustic energy through the reaction zone. The hydrocarbon compounds are chemically reacted with a hydrogen source in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the reacting occurs in the reaction zone.
