Granted: 2008-10-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary internal combustion engine. More specifically, the invention relates to a coaxial stator (1) and rotor (7). The stator (1) is provided with an inlet nozzle (19) and an exhaust nozzle (20) while the rotor is provided with radial mobile blades (9) which are disposed in grooves (8) with room to move. According to the invention, the inner tips of the aforementioned blades (9) are provided with shafts (15) and a pair of connecting rods (16) is articulated to each of said shafts (15). In this way, at each of the ends of the engine, four connecting rods (16) form a deformable parallelogram which connects four alternating blades (9), while another four connecting rods form a second parallelogram which connects the other four blades. As a result a mechanical transmission system is created between the blades (9) which ensures that the retraction movements of any of said blades are transmitted to the remaining blades of the group, so that the segments (11) disposed at the free edge thereof are permanently in contact with the inner surface (19) of the stator (1), thereby ensuring that the chambers (18) defined by the blades between the stator (1) and the rotor (7) are perfectly sealed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A packet and optical routing equipment exchanges multiplexed optical signals with other equipment in a network and exchanges branch non-packet and packet signals with client equipment. The entering branch non-packet signals are converted into electric signals by a non-packet interface and supplied directly to an electric switching unit, the entering packet branch signals are converted into electric signals, supplied to a packet forwarding module and routed to the electric switching unit. The electric switching unit switches the electric signals toward a WDM interface that converts them into optical signals at selected wavelengths that are added to the multiplexed optical signals. The entering multiplexed optical signals that should be terminated in the equipment are extracted, converted into electrical signals, and electrically switched toward the non-packet interface or the packet forwarding module according to whether they are of non-packet or of a packet type. The switching unit is of configurable type and may switch a variable ratio of electric non-packet and packet signals according to the traffic requirements.

Abstract: A process determines loss of solids and/or fibres during a paper fibre suspension floatation (1) or thickening process. The paper fibre suspension is sub-divided during floatation or thickening into accepted and rejected fractions. The proportion of ash or fine solids present at the feed (E1) is measured by sensors and compared with the similar values measured by a sensor at the acceptance point (A1). The comparison is made using an in-line or on-line computer system and gives a value for the loss of fibres and/or solids as a quotient. The amount of ash and solids in the rejected fraction is determined by laboratory measurements.
