Abstract: High pressure drop and evaporator inefficiency due to the presence
of lubricant in a refrigerant are avoided in a refrigeration system including a
compressor (10) having an inlet (12) and an outlet (14). A gas cooler/condenser (16)
receives compressed, lubricant containing refrigerant from the compressor outlet
(14). Also included is an evaporator (48) for evaporating refrigerant and cooling
another fluid and returning the refrigerant to the compressor inlet (12). A phase
separator (36) is interposed between the gas cooler/condenser (16) and the
evaporator (48) for receiving cooled refrigerant from the gas cooler/condenser (16).
The phase separator (36) includes a chamber (62) having an inlet (34) connected to
the gas cooler/condenser (16), an upper vapor outlet (38) connected to the
compressor inlet (12), a liquid refrigerant outlet (40) and a lubricant outlet (78). A
lubricant conduit (74) is connected to the lubricant outlet (78) and to the compressor
inlet (12) for delivering lubricant separated in the phase separator (36) to the
compressor (10) for lubrication purposes and a bypass conduit 42 is connected to the
vapor outlet 38 and to the compressor inlet (12) to deliver the vapor stream to the
compressor (10).

Abstract: A specific contents information is distributed from an
information supply station 20 to a terminal apparatus 30 via a
communication network 60. Further, a terminal apparatus 30-1 owned
by the owner of such a recorded medium recorded with a contents
information secondarily distributes the contents information to another
terminal apparatus 30. Next, the terminal apparatus 30-1 delivers a
media owner data to the information supply station 20. The terminal
apparatus 30 feeds a rent charged reference data designating the state of
utilizing distributed contents information whenever a predetermined
period of time is past. The information supply station 20 generates a
utilization data designating actual condition of utilization per contents
information and individual names of users for delivery to an information
provider 10. Based on the delivered data, the information provider 10
charges individual users for payment of the rent. The information

Abstract: In a case where minute dirt is lain between light
source and an original, since the light source moves in
case of the fixing original reading which is an
original reading system of reading an original image by
fixing the original, the dirt is momently lighted by
the light source and influence by the dirt for the read
image is appeared in sight by only a minute dot.
However, in case of the shifting original reading of
reading the original image by shifting the original,
since the relationship between the light source and the
dirt is in a fixed state, the light source is always to
light the dirt and the influence by the dirt for the
read image is appeared in sight by a line or a plane.
Therefore, in the present invention, edge emphasis
degree of edge emphasis processing for the read image
data is varied in accordance with a fact that the
original reading system is the fixing original reading
or the shifting original reading. Accordingly, the
influence by the dirt in the shifting original reading
can be reduced.

the saturated surface dry ("SSD") state and the percent by weight of aggregate
water absorption and hence aggregate binder absorption and/or bulk specific
gravity is then calculated. A weighing device 100 can be incorporated directly
into the apparatus.

Abstract: A packet classification search device and method are implemented which are
capable of searching rules of packet classification having very long search bit width at
high speed while using a CAM which has a limited bit width. The fields of rules (11a-14a)
of packet classification are grouped into groups (15, 16), and the grouped fields of each
rule are stored along with search related information (Srch.Tags) (except for the initial
group) and number of searches information (Flags) in a CAM (621). The next number of
searches information (if further groups exist which must be searched), comparison related
information (Assoc.Tag), and actions related to packets (if further groups exist which must
be searched, directing searching again, while if no further groups exist which must be
searched, actions for packet classification) are stored in a search result storage device
(623). By doing this it is made possible to search with the bit width of the group unit.

Abstract: Crushed residue undergoes thermolysis to produce a solid residue rich in pure carbon and thermolysis gases rich in hydrocarbons. The solid residues are treated mechanically to extract the metals and carbon. The waste is then mixed with the treated carbon and subjected to a final heat treatment using the thermolysis gases as fuel gases to produce fumes and decontaminated ashes The ashes from the final heat treatment have a lead content of less than 350 ppm, preferably less than 100 ppm. The ashes are valuable as a by-product for industrial fabrication, preferably in a brickyard, a cement works or for road building. The crushed residues are the granular residues from light crushing, with a grain size of more than 13 mm. The waste mixed with the residues are from a purification station, from dredging or a mixture of the two. The capacity of the process is ca. 50000 tonnes/year of residue and 150000 tonnes/year of waste. The thermolysis is carried out at a temperature such that pure carbon and thermolysis gases are produced in a 1:1 ratio. The PCI of the residues is 3500-4500 kcal/kg. The thermolysis gases are generated with a PCI of 6500-7500 kcal/kg and the pure carbon has a PCI of 1000-2000 kcal/kg. The PCI of the waste used is 650-750 kcal/kg. The final heat treatment includes successive steps in at least one cyclone, at least one combustion chamber, at least one heater with injection of chalk and activated carbon and at least one sleeve filter. The fumes from the heat treatment are controlled for their heavy metal, dioxin and furane concentrations. Co-combustion of the carbon and the thermolysis gases at a mass ratio of 1:1 is at about 1400 degrees C and the temperature reached during the final heat treatment depends on the ratio of waste to pure carbon, staying between 1050 and 1250 degrees C. The temperature is at ca. 1100 degrees C with a ratio of ca. 5. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for the above process.

Title: Vis d'interverrouillage centromedullaire
Inventor: BALES JOEL PATRICK
IPC: A61B17/76
Filed: 2001-02-02
Abstract: Selon l'invention, une vis d'interverrouillage centromédullaire comprend une tige allongée présentant de préférence une surface extérieure cylindrique de la tige, et un filetage extérieur disposée en hélice autour de la tige et présentant une surface extérieure du filetage coaxiale et sensiblement parallèle à la surface extérieure de la tige. Le diamètre de la tige, tel que déterminé par la surface extérieure de la tige, est d'au moins 0,75 fois, de préférence 0,85 à 0,90 fois le diamètre du filetage tel que déterminé par la surface extérieure du filetage, d'où une réduction considérable de la hauteur du filetage par comparaison avec des vis à os classiques de la même taille. En outre, la surface extérieure du filetage présente une largeur égale à au moins 20 pour cent du pas du filetage, ce qui représente une augmentation considérable rapportée aux vis à os classiques. Ces deux caractéristiques contribuent à renforcer la vis, en termes de résistance à des forces de flexion exercées latéralement (c'est-à-dire perpendiculaires à la longueur de la vis). La largeur accrue du filetage relativement au pas du filetage réduit les concentrations de contrainte indésirables au niveau de l'interface de la vis d'interverrouillage et d'un clou centromédullaire fixé par la vis d'interverrouillage à un os long, tel que le tibia ou le fémur. L'invention concerne un système de fixation d'os qui utilise généralement un clou centromédullaire en combinaison avec plusieurs des vis d'interverrouillage de l'invention, chaque vis étant adaptée pour s'étendre latéralement à travers un orifice associé, au niveau d'une des zones d'extrémité du clou.

Abstract: A rapid response structure of a gas sensor which includes a
protective cover assembly defining therein a gas chamber to which a
gas to be measured is admitted. The gas assembly consists of an
outer and an inner cover. The inner cover is disposed within the
outer cover with a clearance which defines a gas path extending
from gas inlet holes formed in the outer cover to the gas chamber
through gas inlet holes formed in the inner cover. The outer and
inner covers are so designed geometrically as to minimize the
interference of a return gas flow produced within the clearance with
the flow of the gas into the gas chamber, thereby facilitating the
entrance of the gas into the gas chamber.
