Potentiometric Titration Method For Quantitative Determination Of Hydrogen Peroxide

View page
US Patent:
7534394, May 19, 2009
Filed:
Jul 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/183311
Inventors:
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Russell R. Bessette - Mattapoisett MA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 27/02
G01N 27/413
G01N 31/16
G01N 31/18
US Classification:
422 81, 422 98, 422 63, 422 67, 422 681, 422100, 436135, 436137, 436174, 436179
Abstract:
An electrochemical potentiometric titration method that entails titration of a known volume of a catholyte containing an unknown amount of hydrogen peroxide in a titration cell having two electrodes, a platinum working electrode and a silver/silver chloride reference electrode. A known concentration of a titrant is added to the catholyte in the titration cell. Simultaneously, as the titrant is added the potential between the working electrode and the reference electrode is monitored. The point at which all of the hydrogen peroxide has been consumed is signaled when the cell potential changes abruptly. Since the concentration of the titrant is already known, the amount of titrant added (concentration multiplied by volume) is directly related to the amount of hydrogen peroxide consumed. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is calculated from the volume of catholyte and the moles of hydrogen peroxide.

Method To Accelerate Wetting Of An Ion Exchange Membrane In A Semi-Fuel Cell

View page
US Patent:
7582334, Sep 1, 2009
Filed:
Aug 11, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/923611
Inventors:
Louis G. Carreiro - Westport MA, US
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Steven P. Tucker - Portsmouth RI, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Wahington DC
International Classification:
B05D 1/18
US Classification:
4274301, 4274431
Abstract:
A new treatment method for ion exchange membranes used in semi-fuel cells that accelerates the wetting of the membranes by aqueous electrolyte solutions, thus reducing the start up time for metal/hydrogen peroxide-based semi-fuel cells. Specifically, a NAFION membrane that is intended for dry storage in a semi-fuel cell is treated with glycerin (glycerol) to enhance its rate of absorption of electrolyte solution when the semi-fuel cell is activated.

Method For Quantitative Determination Of Hydrogen Peroxide Using Potentiometric Titration

US Patent:
7906340, Mar 15, 2011
Filed:
Apr 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/386183
Inventors:
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Russell R. Bessette - Mattapoisett MA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:

Membrane Pump For Synthetic Muscle Actuation

View page
US Patent:
8088162, Jan 3, 2012
Filed:
Sep 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/460907
Inventors:
Thomas J. Gieseke - Newport RI, US
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
A61F 2/08
US Classification:
623 1413
Abstract:
A synthetic muscle comprises an outer layer having an interior filled with a proton containing electrolyte. A first electrode extends into the interior, and a second electrode extends through the interior. The second electrode is attached to the outer layer at two locations. An ion selective microporous membrane extends through the interior along the length of the second electrode and is also attached to the out layer at the two locations. The ion selective membrane is also attached to the second electrode at a plurality of points along its length, defining a plurality of pockets of the ion selective membrane. The ion elective membrane is generally disposed between the two electrodes. The two electrodes are in communication through a power source. Using the power source, an electroosmotic flow is established across the ion exchange membrane from the first electrode to the second electrode, inflating the pockets and constricting the outer layer.

Method Of Fabricating A Bipolar Electrode For Use In A Semi Fuel Cell

View page
US Patent:
20090266716, Oct 29, 2009
Filed:
Apr 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/386184
Inventors:
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Maria G. Medeiros - Bristol RI, US
Louis G. Carreiro - Westport MA, US
Steven P. Tucker - Portsmouth RI, US
Russell R. Bessette - Mattapoisett MA, US
Craig M. Deschenes - Somerset MA, US
International Classification:
C25D 5/34
C25D 5/48
C23C 28/00
US Classification:
205183
Abstract:
A bipolar electrode fabricated with a combination of materials that will physically separate the catholyte from the metal anode of the electrode while providing high electrical conductivity between the metal anode and the catalyst cathode. This is accomplished by layering the catalyst cathode over a composite of conductive adhesive and conductive foil that is then affixed to the metal anode.

Method For Increasing Fiber Density In Electrostatic Flocking

View page
US Patent:
7354626, Apr 8, 2008
Filed:
Oct 26, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/586277
Inventors:
Charles J. Patrissi - Newport RI, US
Russell R. Bessette - Mattapoisett MA, US
Louis G. Carreiro - Westport MA, US
Yong K. Kim - Dartmouth MA, US
Thomas M. Arruda - Quincy MA, US
Craig M. Deschenes - Somerset MA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
B05D 1/14
US Classification:
427462, 427475
Abstract:
A direct charging electrostatic flocking method is provided for the fabrication of a fibrous structure. Fibers are deposited directly on a first electrically conductive surface while a second electrically conductive surface with an adhesive thereon is disposed over the first surface. A vacuum is created in the space between the first electrically conductive surface and the second electrically conductive surface. The vacuum is then filled with sulfur hexafluoride gas. An electric field is generated between the first and second electrically conductive surfaces. The fibers leave the first electrically conductive surface, accelerate through the electric field and sulfur hexafluoride gas, and are coupled on one end thereof to the adhesive. As a result of using sulfur hexafluoride rather than air there is an increase in fiber density of the fibrous structure.
