A retention unit for securing a charged gas cylinder to a body of an aircraft includes a container having an opening and configured to cover the charged gas cylinder. The retention unit also includes a plurality of flaps coupled to the container and configured to be attached to the body of the aircraft using a contact adhesive. The retention unit also includes a drawstring disposed around the opening of the container and configured to provide a closure of the container around a neck of the charged gas cylinder inside the container.

An adsorbed natural gas storing tank is provided. The adsorbed natural gas storing tank includes a tank body that has an upper plate and a lower plate coupled to define an inner space provided with an adsorbent material. The tank body includes an opening that extends through the upper and lower plates. A central plate is inserted in the opening to seal one side of the tank body. Additionally, the central plate has a plurality of discharge apertures formed along a circumferential wall thereof to discharge natural gas reacted with the adsorbent material and has a mounting region therein. A filter assembly is inserted in the mounting region, is fastened to the central plate, filters natural gas passing through the discharge apertures, and is equipped with a control valve for adjusting natural gas discharge.

A method of storing and using natural gas (NG) in a vehicle includes selecting a vehicle having an NG tank for fueling an engine of the vehicle. The tank service pressure rating is 3600 psi (pounds per square inch) and an NG adsorbent is in the tank. A first quantity of NG is transferred into the tank from a first source having a first source pressure less than 725 psi. The adsorbent adsorbs a portion of the NG. After transferring the first quantity of NG, the engine is operated until NG is desorbed and consumed by the engine. NG is transferred into the tank from a second source to fill the tank to a second tank pressure of about 3600 psi. The adsorbent adsorbs some of the NG. After transferring the second quantity of the NG, the engine is operated until NG is desorbed and consumed by the engine.

A cylinder transport and mounting system is provided. This system includes a object mounting yoke, and at least one bracket selected from the group consisting of a conveyance mounting bracket, and user mounting bracket, wherein the cylinder mounting yoke is configured to attach securely to a cylinder and to detachably interface with the conveyance mounting bracket and/or to detachably interface with the user mounting bracket.

A substrate treatment apparatus includes a substrate treatment unit configured to provide a chemical solution to a substrate to treat the substrate, and a chemical supply unit configured to supply the chemical solution to the substrate treatment unit. The chemical supply unit includes a loader configured to load a canister containing the chemical solution to the chemical supply unit, a clamp configured to clamp the canister in place, a chemical supply line through which the chemical solution is supplied to the substrate treatment unit, and a coupler configured to couple the chemical supply line to the canister.
