Title: Method for the regeneration of residues containing sulfur and an atomizing burner suited for executing the method
Inventor: GROSS GERHARD
IPC: F23D14/58
Filed: 2001-09-07
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: In a prior art method for regenerating a residual substance that contains sulfur, a drop stream containing the residual substance is introduced into a reactor, fed to a reaction zone comprised of hot flue gases, which are produced by combusting a fuel, and are heated therein in order to thermally cleave the sulfurous compounds of the residual substance. Expanding upon thi s, an increase in performance and an improvement in the economic viability of t he method are attained by introducing a drop stream containing fuel into the reactor at the same time as the drop stream containing the residual substanc e and feeding it to a pre-reaction zone, which is produced by introducing an oxygen-rich gas stream, whereby the residual substance is, in part, thermall y cleaved inside the pre-reaction zone and is subsequently fed to the reaction zone. An atomizing burner, which is suited for carrying out said method and which has a long serviceable life, is characterized in that a protective gas nozzle, which coaxially surrounds the inner nozzle, is provided between said inner nozzle and the outer nozzle, and in that the inner nozzle is connected to an inlet for a residual substance/fuel mixture, and the outer nozzle is connected to an inlet for an oxygen-rich gas stream.

Granted: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A strapping machine configured to feed a strapping material around a load, position, tension and seal the strapping material around the load, includes a chute opening system to open a lower portion of the strap chute upon upwardly pivoting a portion of the work surface. Such a machine includes a machine frame, a work surface for supporting the load in the strapping machine, at least a portion of which is upwardly pivotal. A strap chute carries the strapping material around the load and releases the strapping material from the strap chute. The strap chute defines a strap path along the chute. The chute is movable between an operating position in which the strapping material is conveyed along the chute and a release position in which the strap chute is moved longitudinally to release the strapping material from the chute for positioning around the load. A weld head seals the strapping material onto itself. At least a portion of the weld head is disposed along the strap path below the work surface. The chute opening system is operably connected to the chute and is engageable with the upwardly pivotal portion of the work surface. The chute opening system includes a contact arm for engaging a lower surface of the work surface. The contact arm is operably connected to the chute such that upward pivoting of the work surface moves the chute from the operating position to the release position.

Granted: 2010-11-30
Abstract: A medical line securement device (100) holds a medical article such as a connector fitting for a catheter or a catheter adaptor in position upon the body of a patient and inhibits axial motion of the medical article. The securement device includes a retainer (120) with a base (130) and a cover (140). The cover is hinged to the base such that it may be moved between an open and closed position. The base and cover each have a groove (210, 230) which cooperate when the cover is in the closed position to form a channel (250) through the retainer. The medical article includes an elongated body which is received within the groove of the retainer, the elongated body lying between at least a pair of regions of larger radius of the medical article. By receiving the portion of the elongated body of the medical article between the regions of larger radius, axial motion of the medical article through the groove is inhibited.

Title: Interface for shunt voltage regulator in a contactless smartcard
Inventor: GAY MICHAEL J
IPC: H02M7/12
Filed: 2003-07-01
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: The present invention provides shunt voltage regulation by employing a rectifying means (M1-M4) to rectify an incoming signal and a current sinking means (M5-M6) to divert current from the output (o) of the rectifying means in such a way that the output voltage is maintained at an appropriate level and the modulation level does not rise above the acceptable range. This is accomplished by having two feedback mechanisms for the control of said current sinking means. A first feedback mechanism (G) utilizes a voltage dividing means (R6-R7) to generate a control voltage signal that will cause the average output voltage of the rectifying means to be equal to the a reference voltage.  A second feedback mechanism utilizes non-linear processing means (NLP; Fig. 7) and capacitors (C3-C4) to transmit part of the modulation frequency to the control (M7-M14, R2-R5) of the current sinking means, thereby keeping the modulation at the output of the rectifying mean at an appropriate level at all time.
