Abstract: Disposable devices for maintaining the contents of containers, such as hot beverage cups, at or near a desired temperature for an extended period of time. The disposable devices include a sleeve having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a cavity that contains a heating element. The device is configured to define an interior passage that is sized and able to conform to an exterior shape of a container such that heat can be transferred from the heating element to the container. The device includes openings that allow air to contact and activate the heating element via initiation of a heat-generating reaction.

Abstract: Embodiments of various aspects described herein are directed to a metal oxidation warming system (MOWS), a hydrogen storage system, and a co-generation system. These systems include an enclosure subdivided into a plurality of compartments, a fluid reservoir connected to a fluid manifold, and a plurality of fluid conduits connected through an inlet to the fluid manifold. Compartments include an active metal that reacts with a fluid delivered through the inlets and produces heat and hydrogen gas, which can be captured for heat and for driving a fuel cell.

Abstract: A device for evaporating a liquid such as liquid fuel. The device comprises: a shell; means for supplying heat to the shell; a porous wick located in the shell so that there is a gap between an outer surface side of the porous wick and an inner surface of the shell; means for supplying liquid to the porous wick; and an outlet in the shell for vapour produced in the gap by the application of heat from the shell to the liquid in the wick.

Abstract: A method is provided for inputting thermal energy into fluidic medium in a high-temperature material production process by at least one rotary apparatus comprising a casing with at least one inlet and at least one exit, a rotor comprising at least one row of rotor blades arranged over a circumference of a rotor hub mounted onto a rotor shaft, and a stator configured as an assembly of stationary vanes arranged at least upstream of the at least one row of rotor blades. In the method, an amount of thermal energy is imparted to a stream of fluidic medium directed along a flow path formed inside the casing between the inlet and the exit by virtue of a series of energy transformations occurring when said stream of fluidic medium passes through the stationary vanes and the at least one row of rotor blades, respectively. The method further comprises: integration of said at least one rotary apparatus into a high-temperature material production facility configured to carry out high-temperature material production, such as the production of glass, glass wool, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, and clay-based materials at temperatures essentially equal to or exceeding 500 degrees Celsius (° C.), and conducting an amount of input energy into the at least one rotary apparatus integrated into the heat-consuming process facility, the input energy comprises electrical energy. A rotary apparatus and related uses are further provided.

Abstract: A self-heating assembly includes a product tray for containing a product to be heated and a heater tray outside the product tray and configured relative to the product tray to define a reaction space between the heater tray and the product tray. A frangible container made of a shrink film material is inside the reaction space. The frangible container contains a first reactant that is a liquid. A second reactant is outside the frangible container. The first and second reactants are configured to react exothermically upon contact with each other.

Abstract: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are generally directed to using an increase in gas pressure (e.g., through an increase in heat) to move an actuator that at least partially defines a volume containing a feed fluid in fluid communication with a membrane. As the increase in gas pressure moves the actuator, pressure on the feed fluid in the volume may increase beyond a threshold pressure sufficient to move the feed fluid through the membrane. Movement of the feed fluid through the membrane may reduce a volumetric concentration of one or more components of the feed fluid to form a permeate. For example, the increase in pressure may drive the actuator to increase pressure on salt-water in the volume and, ultimately, move the salt-water through the membrane to form the permeate as part of a reverse osmosis process achieved without the use of a mechanical pump.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a containment vessel having an interior space configured to be sealed. The interior space is configured to receive (i) liquid to be vaporized during a decontamination process and (ii) one or more pieces of personal protection equipment to be heated and decontaminated during the decontamination process. The apparatus also includes one or more flameless heaters configured to generate heat without a flame when activated. The apparatus further includes a thermal pouch configured to enclose the containment vessel and the one or more flameless heaters such that the heat from the one or more flameless heaters heats the containment vessel during the decontamination process.

Abstract: An exothermic cutting rod comprising an ignition assembly portion and a main portion. The main portion may comprise a plurality of fuel rods and a rod housing that is configured to allow a flow of oxygen to the ignition assembly portion. The ignition assembly portion may comprise an ignition fuel housing and an ignition fuel, which is entirely contained within said exothermic cutting rod. The ignition fuel housing may have one or more windows that are configured to allow a heat source to ignite the ignition fuel, which then in turn ignites the fuel rods.
