Title: Device and method for supplying moisture into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer
Inventor: MOSCHUETZ HARALD
IPC: D06F58/20
Filed: 2003-10-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for supplying moisture into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer. The device (1) comprises a receiving area (3) for receiving liquid and a liquid-impermeable shell (2) which surrounds said receiving area (3) and which comprises at least one outlet for transferring moisture.  The device (1) is characterised in that the shell (2) is heat-impermeable, at least from the outside in the direction of the receiving area (3).  The invention also relates to the use of said device (1) and a method for supplying moisture into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer, characterised in that a device (1) in which liquid is received is inserted into the inner chamber of a tumble dryer and heat is produced by the heating device of the tumble dryer.  Said heat coverts the liquid in the device (1) into steam for moisture and the thus obtained moisture is discharged into the inner chamber of the dryer via at least one outlet.

IPC: G01N27/04

Abstract: The present invention provides for variable-range hydrogen sensors and methods for making same. Such variable-range hydrogen sensors comprise a series of fabricated Pd-Ag (palladium-silver) nanowires-each wire of the series having a different Ag to Pd ratio-with nanobreakjunctions in them and wherein the nanowires have predefined dimensions and orientation. When the nanowires are exposed to H<SUB>2</SUB>, their lattice swells when the H<SUB>2 </SUB>concentration reaches a threshold value (unique to that particular ratio of Pd to Ag). This causes the nanobreakjunctions to close leading to a 6-8 orders of magnitude decrease in the resistance along the length of the wire and providing a sensing mechanism for a range of hydrogen concentrations.

Abstract: A thermal development recording apparatus has a
recording portion for exposing a thermal development
recording material to form a latent image, a thermal-developing
portion for heating the thermal development
recording material to execute a thermal development, and a
cooling portion for cooling the thermal development
recording material after the thermal development, which
further has a temperature adjusting portion for adjusting
a temperature of the thermal-developing portion based on
temperature of the cooling portion. Therefore, the
thermal development recording apparatus can maintain a
density constant independent of the number of sheets of

Title: Composant de systeme d echappement automobile et procede de fabrication

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un convertisseur catalytique destiné à un système d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne comprend un boîtier en métal sans soudure, fait en une seule pièce, qui possède des tubulures d'entrée de gaz et des tubulures de sortie de gaz, et une partie de tubulure intermédiaire, qui comporte plusieurs éléments catalytiques en cascade. La partie intermédiaire est connectée à l'orifice d'entrée par une partie de transition d'entrée, et à l'orifice de sortie par une partie de transition de sortie. Les orifices d'entrée de sortie, ainsi que les parties de transition d'entrée et de sortie, sont formés par l'écrasement des extrémités du tube utilisé pour former le boîtier. Les gaz d'échappement générés par le fonctionnement du moteur arrivent dans le convertisseur et passent à travers l'élément catalytique. Les substances nocives dans les gaz d'échappement, y compris CO, NOx et les hydrocarbures non brûlés entièrement sont convertis en substances moins nocives grâce à l'action de l'élément catalytique, qui est de préférence une structure céramique en nid d'abeilles friable, et qui possède une pluralité de passages internes recouverts d'une substance catalytiquement active. Un processus d'écrasement est utilisé pour former des extrémités en forme de tubulure du convertisseur. Les extrémités en forme de tubulure réduisent au minimum la génération de turbulences dans les gaz et permettent de raccorder le convertisseur au reste du système d'échappement au moyen de joints serrés, soudés ou fixés avec une bride. La construction du convertisseur en une seule pièce et sans soudure permet d'effectuer la fabrication économique et élimine le soudage des composants du boîtier qui ont tendance à tomber en panne lorsqu'ils sont soumis au gaz d'échappement corrosif pendant une période de temps prolongée.
