Earl Dickson's wife was rather accident prone, so he set out to develop a bandage that she could apply without help. He placed a small piece of gauze in the center of a small piece of surgical tape, and what we know today as the Band Aid bandage was born!

| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20100212556 | SYSTEMS FOR STAGED COMBUSTION OF AIR AND FUEL A combustion system for combusting air and fuel includes a primary combustion zone configured to produce combustion gases from the air and the fuel and an intermediate air zone downstream from the primary combustion zone. The intermediate air zone is configured to injec... | 08/26/2010 |
| 20090320726 | Three phased combustion system A system when installed in-line with a pollution source provides reduction and/or complete combustion of harmful emissions generated there from. Such emissions including (but not limited to) compounds such as oxides of nitrogen, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, odors, org... | 12/31/2009 |
| 20090314190 | REDUCTION OF CO AND NOX IN FULL BURN REGENERATOR FLUE GAS A hot oxygen stream containing radicals is fed into a gas stream, such as a catalyst regenerator flue gas stream, that contains carbon monoxide to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.... | 12/24/2009 |
| 20090288583 | LOW OXYGEN VORTEX BURNER A low oxygen vortex burner is provided. With the use of exhaust gas discharged from a combined boiler internal combustion engine as a supply source of air for re-combustion, it is possible to have the exhaust gas discharged in a state of complete combustion and to suppr... | 11/26/2009 |
| 20090064909 | Gas combustion apparatus A method of combusting ammonia is described, in which an exhaust gas containing varying amounts of at least ammonia and hydrogen is conveyed from a chamber to a combustion nozzle (34) connected to a combustion chamber (36). A combustion gas for forming a c... | 03/12/2009 |
| 20080308017 | Dual Chamber System for Gasifying Biomass Waste A device for gasifying biomass waste has two each of primary chambers, fume transfer vents, mixing chambers which accept fumes from the primary chamber, afterburner chambers in fluid communication with the mixing chambers, and an exhaust duct. Each secondary burner prod... | 12/18/2008 |
| 20080145281 | Gas oxygen incinerator The present invention provides an incinerator and a method of firing an incinerator. The incinerator is provided with an oxygen fuel burner. The incinerator is fed with a exhaust stream that includes various impurities such as NOx, CHO2, NH3 06/19/2008 | |
