Patent EP-0995083-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BYATT ANTHONY
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 1997-12-24
Abstract: The aim of the present invention is to optimize a capacitative level detector, which is particularly suitable for determining the location of a boundary layer (12) between water (10) and oil (11) in a separator tank. The known sensor principle consists of measuring the environment-dependent capacity between neighbouring electrodes (13, 4; 4, 5; 5, 6) of a rod-shaped probe (1). The invention is characterized in that the probe (1) is designed in such a way that in a more conductive medium (10) large ionic double-layer capacities occur at the electrodes (4, 5, 6, 13) and in a more isolating medium (11) small capacities are present between the electrodes (4, 5, 6, 13). To this end, the invention provides for a large electrode size (h), a relation of electrode size (h) to electrode distance (a) preferably in the range 1 < h / a < 6, and, in particular, a measuring frequency (f) between the dielectric limit frequencies of the media (10, 11). This enables a large capacity shift for a digital level indicator and/or a largely continuous capacity increase for an analogue level indicator to be obtained. In addition, the effect of conductive and/or isolating contaminant films (14) on the capacity signal is eliminated by suitable measuring frequencies and/or radial displacement of the electrodes (4, 5, 6, 13).

Title: Systeme pressurise et integre de conversion electrochimique d'energie
Inventor: HSU MICHAEL S
IPC: H01M8/04
Filed: 1997-12-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un convertisseur électrochimique disposé à l'intérieur d'une cuve sous pression qui récupère les gaz d'échappement chauds produits par le convertisseur pour les acheminer vers un dispositif de récupération par cogénération, tel qu'une turbine à gaz. Ledit dispositif extrait l'énergie de la chaleur résiduelle dégagée par le convertisseur, comme dans le cas d'une pile à combustible, d'où une meilleure production d'énergie. Ces dispositifs de récupération comprennent, par exemple, un système de turbine à gaz ou un système de chauffage, de ventilation ou de climatisation (CVC). La cuve sous pression peut comprendre un échangeur thermique, tel qu'une chemise de refroidissement, de façon à refroidir la cuve sous pression et/ou préchauffer un réactif d'entrée avant son introduction dans le convertisseur électrochimique. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le compresseur d'un système de turbine à gaz aspire un réactif d'entrée à travers l'échangeur thermique de la cuve sous pression et achemine le réactif sous pression vers une pile à combustible. Les gaz d'échappement sous pression et chauffés de ladite pile sont récupérés par la cuve sous pression et acheminés vers le système de turbine à détente. La pile à combustible et la cuve sous pression font office de chambre de combustion de l'ensemble turbine à gaz. La turbine à détente peut fonctionner selon un mode mécanique ou peut être couplée à une génératrice, dont l'électricité vient s'ajouter à celle produite par la pile à combustible. L'invention concerne également une traversée permettant le transfert d'un fluide, tel que des gaz d'échappement ou un réactif d'entrée, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur de la cuve sous pression.

structure (14) in spaced columns (12). In each column (12), several rod
segments (22) are interconnected at each floor diaphragm (16,17) using a

installation, the rods (22) are post-tensioned to provide a compressive
axial load to the masonry wall structure (14). The spring tensioner
assemblies (20,30) are tensioned prior to applying the grout to the void

Abstract: An adjustable orientation device includes a rigid spherical bearing surface and a sleeve made of a hard, non-visco-elastic material. The sleeve defines an inner surface which is part-spherical and is configued to receive the spherical bearing surface having substantially the same radius of curvature as the part-spherical inner surface and also defines at least one gap. The device includes a means for adjusting the size of the gap in the sleeve, typically a screw clamp which may be associated with an outer sleeve. When the gap is relatively wide, the sleeve can move freely over the spherical being surface, however when the gap is narrowed frictional engagement between the sleeve and the bearing surface increases and clamps the sleeve and the bearing surface in a fixed orientation. The device can be used to mount various object particularly speakers and projectors.

Abstract: A capacitor element (10) fabricated by winding an anode foil (1) and a
cathode foil (2) via a separator (3) is impregnated with a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene
and an oxidizing agent to form
poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) by chemical polymerization. A nonwoven
fabric composed chiefly of a synthetic fiber is used as a separator, enabling a
solid electrolyte to be favorably formed without being reacted with the
oxidizing agent. Preferably, the capacitor element is dipped in water at 80
to 100 °C for 1 to 20 minutes to dissolve and remove the binder in the
separator in order to preclude adverse effects on the electric characteristics
caused by the binder. The oxidizing agent is used at a concentration in
excess of 40 % by weight with respect to the solvent, so that the degree of
polymerization is high and a dense and homogeneous solid electrolytic layer
is formed. To form the electrolytic layer, the capacitor element is
impregnated with a monomer solution prepared by mixing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene
and a volatile solvent at a volume ratio of 1:1 to 1:3.
Then, the capacitor element is heat-treated and impregnated with a solution
of oxidizing agent to form a dense and homogenous solid electrolytic layer.
