Inventor: LEE KYO SEUNG
IPC: F01N13/02
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a plasma system for removing soot and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gas from diesel engine. Such system comprises a diesel particulate filter for accommodating a honeycomb type porous element and at lest one pai r of electrodes; a plasma reactor for creating a predetermined amount of plasm a, mounted downstream or upstream of said diesel particulate filter; a catalyti c reactor filled with a catalyst selected from the group 1B metals, mounted downstream of said plasma reactor or said diesel particulate filter; and a hydrocarbon-feeding means for feeding hydrocarbon to exhaust gas, connected to an arbitrary position upstream of said plasma reactor. Therefore, soot and N Ox in the exhaust gas, which are components harmful to human beings, and are al so pollutants, can be effectively removed at a normal pressure by use of such system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'extraction de composés de soufre à partir d'eaux usées, permettant de récupérer du soufre élémentaire. Ledit procédé est effectué dans deux réacteurs anaérobies séparés. Dans le premier réacteur, des composés organiques sont convertis en composés acides, et des composés de soufre sont convertis en composés sulfurés. Les composés sulfurés sont désorbés dudit premier réacteur au moyen d'un gaz de désorption. Par la suite, l'effluent du premier réacteur est alimenté dans un deuxième réacteur anaérobie dans lequel des composés organiques tels que les composés acides sont convertis afin de produire du biogaz, tandis que tous les composés de soufre non convertis de l'étape précédente sont également convertis en composés sulfurés. Finalement, les composés sulfurés sont retirés du deuxième réacteur dans un système de désorption, et convertis en soufre élémentaire dans un adsorbeur.

Title: Systeme et procede pour localiser et positionner un generateur de signaux ultrasoniques a des fins de test
Inventor: DRAKE THOMAS E JR
IPC: G01S17/89
Filed: 2001-07-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de tests ultrasonique. Le système teste une pièce fabriquée pour vérifier différents attributs physiques, y compris les fissures ou défauts spécifiques et la composition des matériaux. La pièce peut être logée dans un système de support mobile qui la maintient en position stable. Un générateur d'éclairage éclaire la pièce avec de l'énergie, la pièce émettant de l'énergie grâce à cet éclairage. Grâce aux émissions de la pièce, le système peut déterminer avec précision la position de la pièce dans l'espace libre. Le dispositif d'éclairage avec de l'énergie et le récepteur ont un rapport prédéterminé dans l'espace libre. Cela signifie que les positions du mécanisme d'éclairage et du mécanisme de réception sont connues. En outre, les coordonnées du système de test ont également un rapport prédéterminé avec le dispositif d'éclairage, le dispositif de réception ou avec les deux. Ainsi, lorsque l'on fixe dans l'espace libre les points dans lesquels la pièce se situe d'une certaine manière par rapport au dispositif d'éclairage ou au dispositif de réception, on peut également fixer le point et/ou l'orientation du dispositif de test par rapport à cette pièce. Il est à noter que les résultats de la détection du point et/ou de l'orientation peuvent aussi être utilisés dans un système d'actionneur et de commande. Si la position du dispositif de test doit être modifiée par rapport à l'objet testé, le système d'actionneur et de commande peut utiliser les résultats de cette détermination pour déplacer le dispositif de test par rapport à l'objet testé.

Abstract: A process and apparatus is described for continuously producing synthesis gas by a unique non-catalytic partial oxidation reaction. The gaseous reactants, typically natural gas as fuel and oxygen as oxidant are separately preheated by electrical heaters prior to mixing upon discharge from a swirling jet burner into a partial oxidation reactor. The resulting effluent gas stream is subsequently cooled in a quench chamber to produce a product gas. The flow rates of the natural gas and oxidant are adjusted in order to maintain a fuel equivalence ratio between about 2 to about 4. As a result the H2/CO ratio, CO selectivity, natural gas conversion and synthesis gas yield are obtained in a ratio of 0.6 to 1.0, 80 to 90%, 60 to 80% and 1.2 to 1.6, respectively. The resulting product gas may be used as synthesis gas, reducing gas, or fuel gas.

Abstract: The insert for a ball and seat valve comprises a tubular cylindrical body formed by vertically spaced apart top and bottom rings joined by helically inclined and circumferentially spaced apart ribs defining side openings. The ribs support inwardly arching ball guide flanges which thin in cross-section as they extend inwardly and upwardly from the ribs. The inner upper ends of the flanges are connected with and tied together by an elongate, upwardly extending reinforcing member protruding above the top ring. The reinforcement member provides structural strength to the thinned flanges. Thinning of the flanges leads to increasing the open area of the top outlets, thereby promoting the volumetric fluid capacity of the valve.

Major axes of the cells are aligned in the stroking direction (7) of the film.  The cells define stroking lands (34, 40, 58, 102) and transverse direction lands (36, 46) between the cells. The stroking direction lands may be raised with respect to the transverse direction lands. Micro-ridges (106) may be formed on the lands. The various film aspects, above, each contribute to the silky tactile impression of the film. Some or all of the various aspects described above may be combined to achieve a further improved silky tactile impression.
