Title: Renewable energy system for hydrogen production and carbon dioxide capture

Abstract: The present invention is an integrated system for the production of hydrogen and the removal of carbon dioxide from the air or gas streams. The integrated system includes an energy source for generating electrical energy and a water source coupled to the energy source. The water source includes ionic electrolytes. The energy source supplies energy to the water source to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, acid and base. The carbon dioxide reacts with the base. In some embodiments, the energy source is a renewable energy source. The integrated system produces substantially no carbon dioxide and when combined with a renewable energy source, produces clean hydrogen fuel and reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide, resulting in carbon dioxide negative energy and manufacturing strategies.

Title: Method for calibrating a carbon dioxide monitor

Abstract: An apparatus periodically measures the carbon dioxide content of the breath of a medical patient. The need to recalibrate the apparatus is determined by comparing the carbon dioxide measurements taken at different times during the respiratory cycle to corresponding reference levels. These levels often occur when the apparatus no longer is measuring accurately. When recalibration is indicated the apparatus waits until the patient begins inhaling so that the recalibration does not interfere with measuring the carbon dioxide during exhalation. The apparatus then measures the carbon dioxide content of the ambient air to define an offset value used in patient monitoring

Title: Carbon dioxide measurement

Abstract
Carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen is sensed by passage of the gas mixture through a layer of polymeric material and through a first, porous, working electrode in contact with a layer of aqueous electrolyte any oxygen being reduced at the electrode; any CO.sub.2 gas passes through the aqueous electrolyte and through a CO.sub.2 -permeable layer of polymeric material to a layer of non-aqueous solvent in contact with a second working electrode at which any CO.sub.2 gas is reduced, causing a current to flow.

Title: Laser system for cross-road measurement of motor vehicle exhaust gases

 Abstract
A cross-road motor vehicle exhaust gas analyzer uses tunable infrared laser differential absorption spectroscopy incorporating photon infrared detection to determine the absolute fractional absorption of a laser by the gaseous medium. Spectroscopic constants of the gaseous species of interest are applied to the absolute fractional absorption to calculate the pertinent absolute column densities. In addition to a laser that sweeps across one or more absorption line of an component of interest, the system of the invention includes a laser source tunable over an absorption line of a reference species; the calculated column density of the reference species is used to normalize the concentration of the component of interest to the fuel consumption rate of the motor vehicle.

Title: Method and apparatus for remote measurement of exhaust gas

Abstract
A method and apparatus for sensing a composition of an exhaust plume includes a light source that radiates an infrared light beam having a plurality of predetermined wavelengths. A first of the predetermined wavelengths is associated with carbon dioxide and a second of the predetermined wavelengths is associated with a second gas, such as a hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide. The apparatus also includes a detector unit that detects the beam passing through the plume. The apparatus computes a ratio of the second gas to carbon dioxide based upon the first and second detected wavelengths, and this ratio is then multiplied by a predetermined estimation of a concentration of carbon dioxide in the plume.

Title: Pollution control device

Abstract
A pollution control apparatus and method reduces contaminants, such as NOx and SOx pollutants, from an effluent gas stream. The pollution control device includes a resonance chamber that ionizes the effluent gas stream. The contaminants of the effluent gas stream are destroyed in a non-thermal plasma reactor. The effluent gas is then cooled in a cooling unit to substantially place the effluent gas in a non-excited state prior to releasing the effluent gas into the environment or re-injecting the effluent gas into the source of the effluent gas. Re-association of the radical oxides into harmful pollutants is thereby substantially prevented.
