Patent JP-2000510227-A (JP)
IPC: B01D53/72
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: A regenerative thermal oxidizer in which contaminated air is first passed through a hot heat-exchange bed and into a communicating high temperature oxidation (combustion) chamber, and then through a relatively cool second heat exchange bed. The apparatus includes a number of internally insulated, ceramic filled heat recovery columns topped by an internally insulated combustion chamber. From the combustion chamber, the air flows vertically downward through another column containing heat exchange media, thereby storing heat in the media for use in a subsequent inlet cycle when the flow control valves reverse. Temperature is sensed within the bed of heat exchange media in order to monitor the temperature profile and control a bypass of hot combustion gases should the temperature exceed a predetermined level.

Title: Portable gas-powered tool with linear motor
Inventor: NIKOLICH M
IPC: B25F/
Filed: 1982-01-20
Abstract: A self-starting portable tool comprises a cylinder (104) in a housing (102), a piston (130) being mounted in said cylinder (104), means (164) for igniting and exploding a mixture of fuel and air in a combustion chamber (120) to drive said piston (130) to operate a working member (132), return means for causing said piston (130) to move upwardly from a lowermost position to an uppermost position of rest including outlet means (156) in said cylinder (104) between its ends. Thereby, a portion of combustion gases is forced to exhaust from said combustion chamber (120) to ambient atmosphere and a reduction in temperature of the combustion gases remaining in the combustion chamber (120) is caused. Said return means further include bumper means for initially moving said piston (130) upwardly from said lowermost position, said combustion chamber (120) above said upper face (130A) of said piston (130) being out of communication with ambient atmosphere during the further return of said piston (130) which return is substantially caused by producing an upwardly acting pressure differential on the upper and lower faces (130A, 130B) of said piston (130) induced by the reduction in temperature of the combustion gases above the upper piston face (130A).

Title: Mounting window in vehicle: sealing strip deforms to match contour of window frame
Inventor: ARMBRUSTER G
IPC: B60R13/06
Filed: 1985-09-16
Abstract: A rigid window pane having an edge is mounted in a rigid window opening having a rigid border with an annular gasket by first providing on the outer periphery of the gasket a layer of adhesive and fitting the gasket around the edge of the pane. Then the pane carrying the gasket is fitted to the window opening with the adhesive layer engaging the opening border and at the same time the pane carrying the gasket is heated and pressed into this opening to soften the gasket until it externally deforms plastically to complementarily fit the opening border. Subsequently the gasket is cooled and cured so it hardens and retains the shape imparted to it by the heat and pressure. The gasket is formed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin or of a vulcanizable or polymerizable, that is heat-curing, synthetic resin or rubber. The polymerization can include the processes of polycondensation or polyaddition.
