Title: Method and device for applying pretensed tension-proof reinforcing strips to a construction
Inventor: MEIER URS
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 1999-02-16
Abstract: Lamellar, fibre-reinforced plastic strips can be used to reinforce a linearly expanded or flat construction part having a support function against any bending stress to which it is exposed. The strips are usually applied to the construction from the outside, or from the inside in the case of hollow structures, and fixed by an adhesive. The lamellar strips are pretensed with a tensioning device, treated with adhesive in a pretensed state, and then moved to the area to be treated together with the tension device. The tension device is provisionally fixed to the construction with displaceable fixing devices and pressed against said construction. Thereafter the lamellar strips are pressed against the construction by means of an air bag or air hose until the adhesive has hardened.

Title: Container transfer terminal system and method
Inventor: ARNTZEN JOHN
IPC: E02B3/20
Filed: 1999-03-08
Abstract: A terminal and system for the automatic computerized unloading of containerized cargo from container ships to trucks, railroad cars, other ships and storage. The terminal system is equipped to store or transfer unloaded cargo automatically by using independent container transfer vehicles. The cargo ships are moored between quays of a terminal building constructed in or adjacent to a waterway. Independent container transfer vehicles on an overhead transverse beam system lift a container up and away from a ship transfer to the elevated ground rail system without changing orientation, and then shuttle on elevated ground conveyance rails to other areas of the terminal to distribute the container to the pertinent transportation system (railcar, truck, another ship, or storage). Containers can also be unloaded from trucks and railroad cars and transported to a berthed ship utilizing the same transportation system. Remotely controlled docking modules may be used to guide an incoming ship into the quay and to assist in engaging the ship's hull onto a bow mooring assembly. Side fenders positioned in the quay moor the ship and maintain its position within the dock during cargo transfers. A rapid fueling system refuels the ships. The terminal can be located on land or offshore in any navigable waterway with either an access tunnel or a causeway for truck and rail access from land.

Title: Two-stroke engine operation method and internal combustion two-stroke engine
Inventor: ZAKHAROV EVGENY NIKOLAEVICH
IPC: F01L7/12
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to the operation processes of two-stroke engines. A two-stroke engine uses a slide valve (10) so that the inlet-outlet channel (9) connected to the exhaust manifold (18) may be connected to the inlet pipe after the outlet of exhaust gases from the cylinder (4). A fresh load is then introduced into the cylinder (4) simultaneously through a bleed window (6) connected to the crankshaft housing (2) by a bleed channel, and through an inlet-outlet window (8) connected to the inlet pipe. The crankshaft housing (2) is filled when the piston (5) moves from the bottom dead centre after the window (8) is opened at its lower edge. Practically continuous feeding of fresh loads into a single-cylinder engine can thus be achieved. The increase in the time-section ratio of the gas distribution organs ensures maximum filling of the cylinder (4) while reducing the time therefor and the losses to a minimum. The heat, which is emitted at the surface of the hottest parts after the outlet, is instantaneously eliminated by the cold fresh loads passing therethrough. <IMAGE>
