Abstract: In order to generate a highly compressed gas, a multistage high-pressure compressor is used, which has a number of compressor stages (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d). A vortex tube (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) is connected downstream from these compressor stages (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d). The pressure difference between the pressure line (4) of the high-pressure compressor and the compressed gas reservoir (7) to be filled is used for driving, together with an expansion turbine (5), a precompressor (2) for precompressing the gas before entering the first compressor stage (10a). Alternatively, a vortex tube for cooling gas can be mounted between the last compressor stage (10d) and the compressed gas reservoir (7). The inventive device permits a direct filling of a compressed gas reservoir in order to reach a limit value of the pressure in the compressed gas reservoir at a predetermined limit temperature, said limit value being stipulated according to the technical rules.

Abstract: A method and system for creating a transition between a first scene and a second scene on a computer system display, simulating motion. The method includes determining a transformation that maps the first scene into the second scene. Motion between the scenes is simulated by displaying transitional images that include a transitional scene based on a transitional object in the first scene and in the second scene. The rendering of the transitional object evolves according to specified transitional parameters as the transitional images are displayed. A viewer receives a sense of the connectedness of the scenes from the transitional images. Virtual tours of broad areas, such as cityscapes, can be created using inter-scene transitions among a complex network of pairs of scenes.
