Title: Process and apparatus for the incineration of organic waste
Inventor: GROSS GERHARD
IPC: F23G5/50
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: According to a conventional method for incinerating organic waste material, a fluidization device causes an oxygenous fluidizing gas to flow through the waste material, which is located in an incineration chamber, from underneath while forming a fluidized particle layer and the waste material is incinerated. The resulting flue gas is withdrawn via an open space situated above the particle layer and is subjected to a secondary incineration in a secondary reaction zone or secondary incineration chamber. Expanding upon the prior art, the aim of the invention is enable a high throughput for the incineration material while resulting in a low level of nitrogen oxide production, and to increase the productivity for the incineration of organic waste material. To these ends, the invention provides that the fluidized particle layer (3) is concentrated with oxygen in such a manner that a mean oxygen content ranging from 0-3 vol. % is set in the open space (6).

Title: Nut
Inventor: GIEHL ARNO
IPC: F16B37/10
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: An outer body of a nut defines an axial port and carries initial guide means. An inner body, movably accepted in the port in the axial direction, is divided into at least two jaws in the axial direction, which carry respectively an internal thread segment on their inner radial area. The jaws also include second guide means which interact with the first guide means in such a way that the jaws, when the outer body is moved relative to the inner body in a loosening direction, are moved radially outwards, and if the outer body is moved relative to the inner body in a tightening direction, are moved radially inwards. As the jaws can be moved when movement is in the radial direction, their internal thread segments can be brought smoothly into engagement with the outer thread of a threaded rod.
