Title: Portable, potable water recovery and dispensing apparatus
Inventor: FORSBERG FRANCIS C
IPC: C02F9/00
Filed: 2002-02-25
Abstract: A portable, potable-water generator for producing high-purity liquid water by condensation of water vapor from ambient air. The generator (125) employs an air filter (119) to remove particulates and aerosols from the incoming air. An enclosed heat absorber cools the filtered air to its dew point and collects droplets of condensate into a condensate collector (5). Before discharge, the collected dew is treated in a bacteriostat loop to destroy adventitious living organisms and to filter out undesirable and dangerous contaminants. A  recirculation loop provides the ability to recirculate stored condensate, including during periods of inactivity. Further, quick disconnect fittings (55b) and variable length flexible tubing allows use of the invention to serve remote dispensers and/or appliances and allow use of municipal water treated through the apparatus in low condensate situations.

Title: Method for power matching in an electricity grid
Inventor: WIEDERHOLD KARL
IPC: H02J15/00
Filed: 2003-06-30
Abstract: According to the invention, the power in an electricity network (N) is adapt ed by regulating a storage power station (S) operated in the network. If the power offer or the power consumption in the network changes, the power input of the machine (V) of the storage power station is adapted such that an equilibrium remains between the entire power generation and the entire power consumption. The power can be adapted faster, approximately by an order of magnitude, by regulating the power consumer than by regulating power engines (G1, G2, G3, GS) acting on the network, and the power adaptation by regulati on of the power consumer saves thermal alternating loads of the power stations.
