Title: Process for burning particulate solids and ring shaft kilns for its realization
IPC: F27B1/20
Filed: 1979-05-21
Granted: 1981-12-30
Abstract: This invention deals with a method of burning crushed or lump-sized combustible material, such as limestone, dolomite, magnesite or a similar material, in an annular shaft kiln having an annular outer shaft and an inner shaft, where the annular and the inner shafts are alternatively charged with fresh air and combustion gases, or are connected with the exhaust gas system. Furthermore, the invention deals with an annular shaft kiln for carrying out this method, which has a shaft insert that is open at the top, whereby the combustion material is selectively fed into the annular shaft formed around the shaft insert, or into the inner shaft which is formed inside the shaft insert. In a first operating position, the inner shaft adjacent its upper end is connected with the exhaust gas system, and combustion gas and combustion air are fed into the outer annular shaft. In a second operating position, the inner shaft is fed with the combustion air and the combustion gas, while the annular shaft adjacent its upper end, is connected to the exhaust gas system. Thus, in the first operating position, the annular shaft has air passed it and the inner shaft has gas flowing through it in counter flow, the flows being parallel, and in the second operating position the annular shaft has gas passed through it in counter flow and the inner shaft has air passed through it in parallel flow.

Abstract: A device for treating faulty positions and postures of the human torso by means of at least one lockable force storing mechanism inserted into strapping lying against the body and having a locking element so coupled with a strap mounting element displaceable relative to the casing of the storage mechanism and biased towards a starting position, of a tension strap transmitting postural changes of torso to the force storage mechanism that the strap mounting element in the period of time of the desired postural correction blocks the force storage mechanism when the tension strap is held substantially free of tension. At least one measuring strap or Bowden cable is connected to the strapping and to the force storage mechanism. This strap or Bowden cable upon the assumption of faulty posture of the torso releases the locking of the force storage mechanism whereby the tension strap is effectively tensed with intensified pull in the direction of the faulty posture and remains tense until, by a postural correction of the wearer acting against the spring tension of the force storage mechanism the locking element locks the strap mounting while the strap is again free of tension.

Title: Hydraulic steering gear for ships
IPC: B63H25/22
Filed: 1980-06-12
Granted: 1984-01-11
Abstract: The invention relates to ships steering gears of the type operated by liquid under pressure. 
<??>The steering gear incorporates two liquid systems (A, B) each containing a pump (11 or 12) fed from its own supply tank (29A or 29B) and a thruster unit (1, 2 or 3, 4) capable of providing by itself steering action on a steering member (5). The two systems are interconnected by way of an isolating valve device (21, 22). Each tank contains a liquid detecting device (A2, A3 or B2, B3) arranged on a drop of liquid level in that tank first to close the isolating valve device and on further drop of liquid level to stop the pump fed from the tank and start the pump in the other liquid system if it is not operating already. 
<??>If a leak occurs in either system the loss of liquid causes the level to drop in the supply tanks. The liquid level detecting devices operate to isolate the systems, then find the leaking system and close it down.
