Title: Automatic storage monitoring and battery exchange system for electrically driven transport vehicles
Inventor: BORGEL DENIS
IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 1991-09-02
Abstract: In a transport system with a travel track (3), electrically driven transport and handling vehicles (1, 2) are provided. These vehicles (1, 2) draw their drive energy from replaceable batteries (10, 13, 14) and are automatically controlled. The changing of discharged batteries for charged ones takes place after testing by means of the control with the aid of a battery exchange station (4). Both the battery exchange station (4) and the transport vehicles (1, 2) have, for this purpose, in each case one data processing device (17, 12, 22) for evaluating discharge data, travel path data, energy consumption data and battery data. The data processing devices (12, 22) of the transport vehicles determine for each travel order the necessary battery charge and compare this with the existing charge. In addition, the battery charge is monitored during the execution of the order. Normally only a portion of the nominal capacity of the batteries (10, 13, 14) is discharged and then recharged. At regular intervals, a charging cycle takes place with a recharging phase. The system prevents total discharging of the batteries (10, 13, 14) and permits the period of use of the batteries and the travel orders to be optimised. Batteries (10, 13, 14) which are no longer serviceable are detected and removed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The concrete invention relates to a coupling element for radiators for hot-water central heating installations, which is particularly suitable for mounting on or in walls and makes possible on the one hand a connection to the forward run and return run pipe of the heating system pipe train and on the other hand the forward and return run connection to the central heating body. A bore - called short circuit bore 6 in the following - connects the forward run connections 2 to the return run connections 3 so that a flow is possible through the pipe network even when the central heating valve is shut off. As a result of the installation of cylindrical bushes 7, alternatively in the forward run connection 2 or even in the forward and in the return run connection 3, in each case an annular gap 8 is produced, through which, when the radiator valve is closed, the entire circulated train water quantity can flow off via the short-circuit bore 6 completely and with low noise. When the radiator valve is open, one part flow of the circulated train water quantity flows off through the radiator and the other part flow via the short-circuit bore 6 into the return run pipe 3. The part flow of the heating water flowing through the radiator is recombined, in the region of the connection bore 3 for the return run pipe, with the part flow which flows via the short-circuit bore 6. The length of the cylindrical bush 7 (bushes) and the possible complete or partial overlapping therewith of the short-circuit bore 6 define(s) the quantity division of the heating water since, with longer bushes 7, the resistance in the short-circuit bore 6 is increased and, with shorter bushes 7, on the other hand decreased. Accordingly, a part flow also flows through the radiator and the remainder of the train water quantity through the short-circuit bore 6. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circular knitting machine for floated pattern hosiery with false rib stitches in which the courses of floated pattern knitting are produced in a single knitting position by radially withdrawing in the pattern yarn feed stations the knitting cams (18) and the raising cams (21), so causing those needles which have received the pattern yarns to pass to an intermediate level until the station in which the basic yarn is fed. These cams then return to operation for the production of the foot in multi-feed plain knitting.

Abstract: The rate of blood flow Q(t) is obtained from a first unit (300) which measures the velocity V(t,z) independently of the ultrasonic wave frequency being used, z being the depth of exploration. Similarly, a second unit (500) measures the radial velocities V1(t,z) and V2(t,z) with which the two walls of the corresponding blood vessel are moving and then, after two spatial integrations (606, 607) and two integrations with respect to time (608, 609), it also measures the instantaneous change in the radius of the blood vessel,  DELTA r(t). The functions Q(t) and  DELTA r(t) over a period of at least one cardiac cycle are then displayed in several ways for comparison purposes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus including a reaction chamber interposed in a polyvalent metal redox solution flow path between an absorber chamber and an oxygenation chamber, including one or more oxygenation stages, for contact in the reaction chamber of H₂S-laden catalytic polyvalent metal redox solution form the absorber chamber with highly oxidized polyvalent metal redox solution from the last oxygenation stage to accomplish oxidation of the dissolved H₂S species by interaction with the oxidized redox catalyst essentially in the absence of gaseous dissolved oxygen. The highly oxidized polyvalent metal redox solution, including Fe⁺³ or V⁺⁵, contacts the H₂S-laden solution from the absorber chamber for reoxidation of the dissolved HS⁻, S =  and any of the polyvalent metal sulfur compounds (presumably a chelated iron sulfide or a vanadium sulfide), to avoid formation of sulfate or thiosulfate salts which reduce the yield of sulfur and build up in the solution. To avoid the formation of crystals of iron sulfide or crystals of vanadium sulfide, thereby avoiding loss of polyvalent metal, the residence time of the redox solution after contact with the H₂S-containing gas and prior to contacting with the oxidized metal redox soluton is limited to a relatively short time. Flow of solution from the last oxygenation stage, preferably through a valve or other circulation control device, to the reaction chamber provides controlled and continuous elemental sulfur formation in the reaction chamber.

Abstract: Iron ore, coal and oxygen are fed to a reactor 4 to produce iron and a fuel gas. The fuel gas leaves the reactor 4 at a temperature of at least 200°C and is passed through a hot filtration apparatus 6. The resulting hot, filtered gas then passes through a heat exchanger 8. A heat exchange fluid, preferably a stream of nitrogen at above ambient pressure passes through the heat exchanger 8 countercurrently to the hot filtered as stream. The heat exchange fluid is thereby heated. The hot heat exchange fluid stream is then expanded with the performance of external work in an expansion turbine 10, for example it may be used in the generation of electrical power. The hot, filtered, fuel gas may be sent for power recovery downstream of the heat exchanger 8 or may be separated into its constituent components. If the heat exchange fluid is nitrogen it may be separated from air in the same plant 2 that is used to feed the reactor 4 with oxygen.
