Abstract: The method for reheating a gas flowing through a turbine in a main flow direction is implemented in such a way that a fuel which is fed to the gas (11) is combusted, forming self-igniting micro-diffusion flames. An oxidation medium is fed to the gas directly upstream of the feed position for fuel, as seen in the main flow direction. Oxygen, compressed air, or cooling air is used as the oxidation medium. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a component (30), especially for implementing the proposed method for reheating gas flowing through a turbine, with openings (42) in an outer wall (46), each of which is small in such a way that during feed of a first medium, formed as fuel, micro-diffusion flames (33) result; and (2) a turbine with a component for implementing the proposed method for reheating gas flowing through a turbine.

Abstract: An improved sol-gel process is disclosed for the making of large synthetic silica based bioactive materials objects crack-free. A series of ordered mesoporous SiO 2 -CaO-P 2 O 5  sol-gel glasses which are highly bioactive has been synthesized through a sol-gel process. The mesoporous glasses are highly bioactive compared with conventional ones, due to the increased textural characteristics i.e. surface area. The bioactivity tests point out that the surface area, porosity, and 3D-structure become more important than chemical composition during the apatite crystallization stage in these materials, due to the very high textural parameters obtained. The product is intended to be used for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract: The method involves injecting oil from an oil tank (46) into chambers (40a, 40b) to lubricate bearings. A low flow rate of compressed air is introduced into the chambers to pressurize the chambers. The air and the oil are recovered. Gravity and pressurization of the chambers are used to convey recovered air/oil mixture to an air/oil separator (50). The air and the oil are separated by the separator whose functioning is controlled for being triggered during presence of the oil in a separator inlet. The oil is returned to the tank, and the air is released from a turbine engine (2) to exterior. An independent claim is also included for a turbine engine lubrication system comprising chambers.

Abstract: The drive of the motor is stopped, the electromagnetic switch contacts are switched OFF, and thereafter the first and second contact points are closed to form a closed circuit of the smoothing capacitor, second contact point, first and second resistors, motor coil, ground 1, ground 2, first contact point, and smoothing capacitor. Charging voltage of the smoothing capacitor is applied to the closed circuit. If an insulation resistance of the motor deteriorates, a current flowing through the closed circuit is increased. The increase of the current is detected by means of the potential difference across the first resistor R1 in the closed circuit, to detect insulation resistance deterioration of the motor.

Abstract: Les images électroniques dégradées par le bruit et la réduction de données, telle que le codage MPEG, présentent des artefacts lorsqu’elles sont reproduites, notamment des ondulations et des blocs (gros pixels) et le bruit dans l’image peut lui donner un aspect granuleux. Selon l’invention, la mise en œuvre d’une analyse de l’image, trame par trame et pixel par pixel, permet d’identifier et de séparer des bords dans l’image ainsi que les artefacts d’ondulation et les limites entre des transitions des blocs. L’application d’une réduction du bruit en fonction de l’analyse, suivie d’une amélioration de la netteté, permettent de nettoyer l’image en vue de son utilisation ultérieure.
