Abstract: When a drawable material is forcibly drawn for
obtaining a drawn product formed of a crystalline polymer,
there is caused a failure such as draw breaking, and the
drawn product formed of a crystalline polymer that can be
industrially produced by a conventional drawing method has
upper limits of physical property values depending upon the
material of said drawn product formed of a crystalline
polymer. In the present invention, pressurized saturated
steam having an absolute pressure of at least 2.0 kg/cm 2  as
a drawing medium is charged into an airtight container
having a drawable material inlet for feeding a drawable
material thereinto and a drawn product outlet for
withdrawing a drawn product formed by drawing the drawable
material, to provide a drawing chamber; pressurized water
is utilized to prevent the leakage of the pressurized
saturated steam through said drawable material inlet and
said drawn product outlet, respectively; a drawable
material is introduced into the pressurized water which is
preventing the leakage of the pressurized saturated steam
from said drawable material inlet; said drawable material
is introduced through said drawable material inlet to the
drawing chamber to draw the drawable material after water
adheres to the drawable material surface; and then, a drawn
product withdrawn through said drawn product outlet is
introduced into the pressurized water which is preventing
the leakage of the pressurized saturated steam through said
drawn product outlet, to cool the drawn product, so that
there can be obtained a drawn product formed of a
crystalline polymer having more desirable physical
properties.

Patent EP-1095214-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JAASMA SERVATIUS ALFONS MARIA
IPC: F02M21/02
Filed: 1999-06-30
Abstract: Fuel system for an internal combustion engine driven by liquefied gas. With the aid of a pump the pressure in the storage tank in which the fuel, such as LPG, is present is raised and fed via a supply line to one or more injectors. The injectors are connected to a return line in which pressure control means are present. Control of the pressure is performed in such a way that when the absolute pressure in the tank rises, for example as a result of a rise in temperature, the additional pressure contributed by the pump is reduced. Consequently, the pressure ratios over the injectors are restricted in the absolute sense in the supply line.

Title: Procede et dispositif pour la formation de gaz de synthese a partir de biomasse et de matieres residuelles
Inventor: HEMMES KATRIEN
IPC: C10J3/12
Filed: 1999-07-27
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de formation de gaz de synthèse à partir de biomasse. Dans une zone de pyrolyse, la biomasse est convertie en un produit de carbonisation solide (charbon) et en produits de pyrolyse gazeux. Les produits de pyrolyse gazeux sont brûlés dans une zone de brûleur et fournissent la chaleur nécessaire au procédé de pyrolyse endothermique et au procédé de gazéification endothermique, pour la formation de gaz de synthèse. Les produits de carbonisation sont envoyés dans la zone de gazéification, de sorte qu'ils soient convertis, par exemple au moyen de vapeur, en H2 et CO. Le fait que les produits de pyrolyse gazeux et les effluents gazeux provenant de la zone de combustion soient séparés de la zone de gazéification, permet la production d'un gaz fini possédant une valeur calorifique élevée et sensiblement exempt d'azote. Le fait que les produits de carbonisation solides issus de la pyrolyse soient envoyés au gazéificateur, permet la production d'un gaz fini très pur et exempt des polluants qui se forment généralement lorsque des produits de pyrolyse gazeux sont convertis en gaz de synthèse. Le dispositif de l'invention peut ainsi être exploité sans que l'utilisation d'installations de purification complexes soit nécessaire.

Abstract: A rotary printing apparatus 10 comprises a thermal head
11 for printing in a main scanning direction along the transverse
direction of an endless medium such as a disk print medium M,
and a stepping motor 15 for conveying the disk print medium M
in a sub scanning direction along the circumferential direction
of the disk print medium M, and forms an image composed of a
plurality of pixels arranged in the transverse and
circumferential directions of the disk print medium M based on
image data supplied from an external host. An overlap-printing
area Ra extending a predetermined length from a printing start
position PS of the thermal head 11 and an overlap-printing area
Rb extending backward a predetermined length from a printing
end position PE are printed so as to overlap with each other.
This structure makes the seam of the print image inconspicuous
to the naked eye, so that high-quality images can be obtained.
