Title: sistema de retorno de água por vácuo aplicado em climatizadores veiculares
Inventor: CARDOSO ROBERTO LUIS LOVATO
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2006-06-02
Abstract: "SISTEMA DE RETORNO DE áGUA POR VáCUO APLICADO EM CLIMATIZADORES VEICULARES". Refere-se ao desenvolvimento de um sistema de retorno de água para climatizador de ar embarcado em caminhões, veículos agrícolas, ónibus e utilitários, empregando o princípio de retorno da água por vácuo, de modo que a água contida na bacia coletora seja succionada dela e passe para o reservatório por intermédio de uma mangueira adequada, passando por uma tampa/válvula que não deixa entrar ar no reservatório, obrigando a água a fazer isso em função de se estabelecer o vácuo no contentor. Como se tem uma pressão negativa dentro do reservatório, a água depositada na bacia do evaporador é succionada para dentro do reservatório. Quando a bomba liga e injeta água para o filtro de palha, imediatamente o sistema de vácuo succiona a água da bacia para o reservatório e a tampo do reservatório com válvula libera a saída do ar, eliminando qualquer resistência no retorno por gravidade.

Title: Teflon container for sample decomposition using gas condensation by air cooling
Inventor: EUM YOUNG ROK
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 2009-04-13
Abstract: When an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is used, samples must be introduced in a liquid state. Thus, sample decomposition by acids must be performed. Methods for decomposing samples using beakers or microwaves have caused several problems such as loss of volatile elements, excessive use of acids, emission of harmful gases, limitation of sample capacity and amount, and inconvenience of cleaning up. However, the present invention can treat many samples with one acid injection through gas condensation by both heating of a reaction container and air cooling of a collection pipe, wherein the reaction container is made of fluororesin (Teflon) or quartz. Also, if there are many samples, the samples can be treated at once. Furthermore, since the present invention can treat the samples with a conventional heating plate, the invention can be used at inexpensive costs. Additionally, since harmful gases or volatile elements generated in decomposition are condensed in an absorption pipe, anticorrosive effects and accurate data can be obtained. Also, the invention can reduce reagents and prevent both contamination of samples caused by concentration of reagents and air pollution caused by harmful gases generated during decomposition.

Title: Obtaining verbal navigation instructions relating to visual cues
Inventor: ZIEZOLD HENDRIK
IPC: G01C21/36
Filed: 2011-06-30
Abstract: A user records a navigation instruction for a manoeuvre at a junction via their navigation device. The user indicates a distance before the junction at which the manoeuvre should be provided. The user does this by providing an input to the navigation device when a current position is at the relevant distance while driving. The device then determines the manoeuvre in a digital map to be associated with the instruction by determining the next manoeuvre in a calculated route the user is following. The navigation device uploads the navigation instruction and the associated manoeuvre and distance to a central navigation instruction database. Other users may then download and use the navigation instruction. The navigation instruction may be provided by recording a spoken instruction. The navigation instruction may be a visual cue such as a landmark, street name or road sign.
