DEVELOPMENT OF NOCICEPTIN BASED ANALGESICS

Not Available SPRAY TRIODE electrostatic fuel atomizers are ideally suited for use in portable power systems. Spray droplet formation and dispersion being purely electrical in nature is achieved at low fuel pressures (>= 1/2 atmosphere). Auxiliary air or mechanical assistance is not needed. Moreover, these firefly sized atomizers typically require a few milliwatts to blue flame logistics fuels. However, to do so requires operation close to the maximum voltage defined by electrical breakdown wherein utter disruption of spray development and dispersion occurs. A means for circumventing breakdown and permitting stable, autonomous and optimal spray development under all operating conditions is proposed. Detailed knowledge of the breakdown process permits the design of a feed back control system that maintains operating voltage close to, but never exceeding the breakdown limit. A key element of this compact, low power and cost effective control system is an agile DC-DC converter whose high voltage (~5 kV) output faithfully mimics the low voltage (~5 V) controller manipulated input on a kHz basis. When implemented, SPRAY TRIODE electrostatic atomizer operation will be Transparent insofar as the nozzle will operate optimally with all fuels and valve settings. BENEFITS: The controller represents enabling technology for the introduction of electrostatic fuel preparation for carbureted, manifold and direct injected gas and diesel IC and gas turbine engines, heaters, boilers, cook stoves.
