Patent EP-1274926-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LINDSKOG NILS
IPC: F02D45/00
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: A method of controlling the concentration of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in waste gases. A first lambda value (lambda1) of the air-fuel mixture is set to less than 1. The gases pass through a first catalyst and then through a second catalyst. The CO-concentration of the gases in the first catalyst is sufficiently high to reduce NO<SUB>x </SUB>to N<SUB>2</SUB>so that the NOx concentration is reduced to a predetermined value. Oxygen (O<SUB>2</SUB>) is introduced between the first catalyst and the second catalyst to oxidize both CO and HC to CO<SUB>2 </SUB>and H<SUB>2</SUB>O, to reduce the CO-concentration to a predetermined value. A second lambda value (lambda2) is measured in the gases downstream of the second catalyst, and a valve for regulating the air-fuel ratio is controlled so that the second lambda value (lambda2) lies within a predetermined range whose lower limit is higher than 1.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to quantify
glycated albumin, by providing means for providing
quantification data, which correlate to the data of the
quantification of glycated albumin by the HPLC method,
without producing any intercept which might complicate use of
the means in clinical medicine in a case where a regression
curve is plotted by using the corrective quantification
method with use of enzymes. Namely, the invention provides a
method of detecting glycated albumin in the serum by using a
reagent for assaying fructosamine, which comprises using a
reagent for assaying glycated proteins by quantifying
glycated proteins in the serum, correcting the value by
dividing the thus-obtained value by the total albumin content
in the serum and referring to the thus-corrected value as the
glycated albumin content in the serum, wherein the method
employs, as a glycated albumin standard, glycated albumin
obtained from human blood by subjecting an albumin fraction
originating in the blood of a healthy human to a treatment
for distinguishing glycated albumin from non-glycated albumin.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un inhaleur servant à administrer un médicament sous forme de poudre sèche, comprenant un conduit (50) dans lequel se déplace une dose d'une zone d'éjection vers une sortie du conduit. Le conduit (50) comprend des organes d'entrée disposés de façon à créer une enveloppe d'air, circulant dans une partie du conduit s'étendant de la zone d'éjection à la sortie. L'enveloppe d'air entoure ladite dose, l'empêchant ainsi de venir en contact avec les parois du conduit. Ceci réduit l'accumulation de matière sur les parois du conduit, et améliore ainsi l'efficacité de l'inhaleur. Les organes d'entrée comprennent, de préférence, une gorge servant à produire un flux d'air à débit rapide, créant une zone de basse pression en face de la zone d'éjection, et facilitant ainsi l'éjection d'une dose.

Abstract: A process for producing liquid hydrocarbon products includes converting a natural gas feedstock to synthesis gas, which is reacted, in a hydrocarbon synthesis stage and by a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, to produce a range of hydrocarbon product. An overheads vapour phase is separated from a liquid phase, and fed to a product condensation stage, where condensation of some components thereof takes place. A vapour phase, an aqueous phase, and a condensed product phase are withdrawn. The vapour phase is fed to a vapour phase work-up stage where a gas component comprising increased concentrations of CO and H2, relative to the vapour phase feed to the vapour phase work-up stage, is recovered, with this gas component being recycled to the hydrocarbon synthesis stage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau de distribution qui est un répartiteur d'énergie actif 1 à 2 (FC1A) ou un combinateur de puissance 2 à 1 (FC1B) ou qui peut alternativement être un tel répartiteur d'énergie et un tel combinateur de puissance. Ce répartiteur d'énergie consiste en deux amplificateurs distribués ayant une entrée commune et respectivement une sortie propre, et ce combinateur de puissance consiste en deux amplificateurs distribués ayant respectivement une entrée propre et une sortie commune. Pour chaque répartiteur d'énergie, un élément de commutation (ST1, ,STN ; ST'1, ,ST'N) est connecté entre chaque point de connexion des sorties des éléments d'amplification et de la terre, et pour ce combinateur de puissance, un élément de commutation  (ST1, ,STN ; ST'1, ,ST'N) est connecté entre chaque point de connexion des entrées des éléments d'amplification et de la terre, ces éléments de commutation étant optimisés pour prendre, en fonction d'une tension de commande, un de deux états distincts. Un premier état correspond à un condensateur (Coff) et un deuxième état correspond à un court-circuit de faible impédance (Ron). Ainsi lorsque la tension de commande est élevée pour un amplificateur distribué, c'est-à-dire un demi répartiteur d'énergie ou combinateur de puissance, cet amplificateur transmet une puissance et, lorsque la tension de commande est faible pour un amplificateur distribué, cet amplificateur ne transmet pas de puissance. L'invention concerne également un système en réseau à commande de phase commandé électroniquement à large bande et multifonctionnel comprenant au moins un répartiteur de puissance ou un combinateur de puissance comme susmentionné.

Abstract: On a main line (2), when an empty space (cutting-out space)
equal to or greater than a predetermined length is detected
between lots of articles (1) or between articles (1) being
conveyed, this detected empty space is reserved for an article
arrival line (3) on which articles (1) are stored. When this
empty space approaches a junction with the article arrival line
(3) for which the empty space is reserved, articles (1)
corresponding to the length of the reserved empty space are cut
out from this article arrival line (3) to the main line (2).
This method allows it to reduce empty spaces in which articles
(1) are not conveyed on the main line (2), increase the joining
efficiency, reduce the frequency of storage of articles (1) on
the article arrival line (3), and reduce the waiting time for
loading articles (1) to the article arrival line (3), thereby
increasing the efficiency of the loading of articles (1).

servo motor (7) which rotates the capping head, a voltmeter (10) which measures
the torque of the capping head, an encoder (11) which detects the rotational

is to be determined during the rotational fastening, the measured value of the
encoder is measured from a predetermined measurement starting point until
a rotational fastening completion point, and if the measured rotational angle
is in the range of an acceptable decision angle which is set in advance, it is
determined that the rotational fastening has been acceptably performed,
whereas if the measured rotational angle is not in the range of the acceptable
decision angle, it is determined that the rotational fastening is unacceptable. 
     In the screw capper, defective rotational fastening can be detected,
and reductions in costs can be realized compared to a case where a device for
detecting such defective rotational fastening is separately provided.
