Inventor: JONES GRADY DONALD
IPC: F02M37/10

Abstract: A fuel handling system (10) incorporates a reservoir canister (24) within the fuel tank (12) that is enclosed but for a float controlled vapour vent valve (32) with a vent orifice (40) of predetermined size. A second stage pump (42) sends fuel to the engine, with unused fuel being returned to the canister (24) through a bubble separator(46) that removes the entrained fuel vapour bubbles and sends them into a vapour space (50) just below the top of the canister (24). A first stage pump (52) continually runs to send fuel into the canister (24), thereby maintaining the vapour space (50) at a vapour suppressing elevated pressure. When the vapour space (50) grows far enough that the float (36) falls and opens, fuel sent in by the first stage pump (52) and vapour is expelled. The orifice (40) is large enough to allow the vapour to be expelled but small enough, relative to the first stage pump's capacity, that a vapour suppressing pressure is substantially maintained.

Abstract: Preparation of a heat-stable oil-in-water emulsion of adjustably increased viscosity by carrying out the following steps:
     a) preparing a mixture to be emulsified, comprising 10-30 wt.% fat and 3-15 wt.% protein based on the total composition;   b) subjecting this mixture to an emulsifying treatment under such conditions that a "coarse" emulsion is obtained;   c) flow-heating the thus obtained emulsion to a temperature of 65-85°C, whereafter the product is maintained at this temperature for some time;   d) homogenizing the product prior or subsequent to this flow-heating;   e) acidifying the product thus obtained;   f) heating the acidified product for a period of 1-5 minutes at a temperature between 80 and 100°C;   g) cooling the acidified heated product to the desired packaging temperature;   h) packaging the product thus obtained.

Abstract: (1) A conveyer including a rocking plate (1) having an object (2) of transport placed thereon, and an elastic spring (5) engaged with the plate (1), or an eccentric cam (3) connected to the plate (1). By properly arranging the elastic spring (5), or by properly designing a profile of the eccentric cam (3), the velocity of movement of the plate (1) is set such that the object (2) of transport leaves the plate (1) temporarily in the forward obliquely upward direction when the plate (1) moves forward obliquely upward, or the downward velocity component of the plate (1) temporarily becomes greater than the falling velocity of the object (2) when the plate (1) moves forward obliquely downward, thereby allowing the object (2) to move forwardly on the plate (1) step by step for each rocking motion.

Abstract: Method employed in a pipette apparatus (10) operating on the air-piston principle wherein operation is monitored and/or controlled on the basis of the air pressure measured by a pressure sensor (40) connected to the air space (60) of the pipette. The pressure sensor is connected to a cylindrical tube (12) of the pipette so that it measures the air pressure in the cylinder. A control unit (65) registers pressure changes in the air space of the pipette and functions as an alarm unit in case of a malfunction or controls the operation of the pipette on the basis of the changes in the air space of the pipette.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a regenerative incinerator for damping polluting emissions, in particular for processing paint residue containing emissions. The incinerator comprises an incinerator body in which there is defined a processing cavity, which is divided into at least two chambers containing a filtering material. Between these two chambers there is formed a space, which is separated from the two chambers by means of a perforated wall and which comprises heating means for holding the space at a high temperature. The two chambers respectively communicate with an inlet duct for the fluid to be processed and a further duct for the processed fluid, the processed fluid passing succesively through one of the filtering material holding chambers, the high temperature space and through the other filtering material holding chamber.

Abstract: Anaesthesia apparatus comprising means (2, 3) for connection to a patient, to a gas source (40) for narcosis gas and oxygen gas, to a unit (6) for control of the respiratory process and to a ventilator (7) for respiratory assistance as well as to an absorber (18) for carbon dioxide. A conduit (1) supports connection means (2, 3) at an outer end and, at its inner end (4), is connected to the respiratory control (6), to the ventilator (7) and to the absorber (18). A conduit (35) from the gas source (40) has its orifice close to the patient connection (2, 3). The first said conduit (1) is arranged, between its connections, to form a reservoir for gas exhaled by the patient which is adapted in terms of size to give the patient a contribution of exhaled gas quantified with carbon dioxide during respiration such that the risk of hypocapnia due to a relatively too large contribution of oxygen can be controlled. The gas for which there is no room in the reservoir passes through the absorber (18) and returns to the patient whereby the content of the narcosis gas and oxygen gas in this surplus gas can be used beneficially.

Abstract: A circulating fluidized bed (CFB) system and method of operation provide for improved heat recovery. One or more return ducts from a particle separator attached to the combustion chamber have a heat transfer section with heat transfer surfaces. Low velocity fluidizing gas is introduced into a bed of particles having distinct heat transfer and particle transport sections to fluidize the bed, and transporting gas is separately introduced to transport a desired rate of particles from the bed to the combustion chamber through a solid particle inlet which is below the top surface of the bed of particles. Barriers are established which prevent the transporting gas from interfering with heat transfer in the heat transfer section.

The ray of light (S₁) is brought from a source of light (10), preferably from a source of laser light, and the ray of light is deflected in a sector (β) onto a prism (13) in a plane (T₁). In the method, by means of the prism (13), the sweep beam (C₂) of the ray of light (S₂) is rotated so that, on departing from the prism (13), the ray of light (S₂) sweeps in a plane (T₂) that has been rotated through 90° in relation to said plane (T₁). The ray of light that sweeps in the plane (T₂) is applied to a mirror (16) and via the mirror onto the face of a product that is provided with a bar code.

Abstract: A method and a device for the transmission of dictations propose firstly to digitise the speech information of the dictation and to convert and to compress the digital information with the aid of a vocoder device. The conversion and compression can be carried out subsequent to the digitisation at a relatively low speed. Only after complete conversion and compression of the entire dictation is the latter then transmitted via a modem and a digital connection at high speed. On the receiver side, the storage and expansion takes place in the reversed sequence. As a result, telephone connection times can be shortened and the transmission costs can thus be reduced.

Abstract: A tool set and a method of using those tools in combination is disclosed that are especially well adapted to the function of rearranging and/or replacing the control rods and fuel supports in a boiling water reactor. The tool set includes a grapple (40) that is capable of simultaneously picking up both a control rod and its associated fuel support. A separate unlatching tool (90) is provided for pulling the control rod's release handle in order to decouple the control rod from a control rod drive. A storage rack (150) that may be mounted in the reactor pressure vessel is provided for storing a fuel support and a pair of control rods when the positions of selected control rods are being shifted about the reactor core area. In the method aspect of the invention, the unlatching tool (90) is used to pull the control rod's release handle. Thereafter, the grapple (40) lifts the control rod and its associated fuel support as a unit. When rearranging the positions of the control rods, a first control rod and its associated fuel support are placed in the storage rack (150). Then a second control rod/fuel support assembly is removed in a similar manner and the second control rod is placed in the storage rack (150). Thereafter, the first control rod may be removed from the storage rack (150) and placed in the position formally occupied by the second control rod, with the same fuel support that was removed from the second location.
