Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NL98/00068 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 29, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 29, 1999 PCT Filed Feb. 4, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/34025 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 6, 1998The present invention relates to a heating installation with a Stirling engine and Stirling-type heat pump integrated within a single pressure vessel. Two hot chambers and two cold chambers, as well as a working chamber in which a piston is mounted such that it oscillates freely, are located inside the pressure vessel. The chambers are in fluid communication with one another. A displacer is able to oscillate freely to and for between each pair of hot and cold chambers. By means of this Stirling engine of the fire piston type and the Stirling heat pump integrated therewith, a low-noise, low-maintenance and highly energy-efficient heating installation is formed which has a high net efficiency (COP value between 1.5 and 2.5). The heat from the cold chamber of the Stirling engine and from the hot chamber of the Stirling heat pump part is passed to a hot water system via a first and second heat exchanger. The heat from the exhaust gases is passed to a third heat exchanger. The heat exchangers may be connected in series or partly or wholly in parallel. Preferably the burner of the installation according to the present invention has a flat heat transfer behaviour to the Stirling engine's hot end upon increasing the power input of the burner, so that it can function as an auxiliary heater upon peak load demand.

Abstract: Dual component container systems are provided for separately storing at least two liquids, which are intermixed within the system prior to dispensing. Two or more containers having mixing openings are provided wherein the mixing openings are sealed by sealing members. The sealed openings of the containers are interconnected by one or more connecting elements, thereby forming a sealed conduit interposed between containers and wherein at least one of the sealing members is connected to the connecting element by a releasable clamping joint. Systems of the present invention are designed such that relative movement of the two containers causes the sealing members to open or be removed, whereby fluids from the two or more containers may intermix via the open conduit formed by the connecting element.

Abstract: A pressure regulator (9) is used in a pipe line system (1) to adjust the rotation speed of an electrical compressor or motor that pumps fluid through the system. In order to maintain the pressure within the maximum and minimum values, as determined from a predetermined characteristic curve relating values of pressure to mass flow rate, an electrical signal with a value proportional to the mass flow rate is applied to the regulator. This uses the electrical signal to set the motor speed. Any deviation in pressure value from the theoretical value can be compensated by the regulator device, which adjusts the motor speed up or down as necessary.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frame (1) for a vehicle seat that is intended to be deformed, in part elastically and in part plastically, under the influence of forces, for example, in connection with a collision, whereby the frame (1) is executed in a metallic, hardened material. Known frames for vehicle seats have deformation zones that have a special geometry, for example, folding notches, whereby the said geometry dictates where the frame is to collapse during a collision. It is extremely costly to manufacture frames with the said special geometries. The present invention is distinguished in that to absorb energy during the plastic deformation, the frame (1) has at least one deformation zone (5) that has been imparted a reduced resistance via tempering.
