Title: Steam generator system operation
Inventor: ANDERSON DAVID K
IPC: F23J15/08
Filed: 1999-04-28
Granted: 2002-12-05
Abstract: The flue gas temperature coming from an air preheater to a particulate collection device such as an electrostatic precipitation or fabric filter is reduced to improve the operation of the particulate collection device. This may be done by reducing the exit flue gas temperature from the air preheater or reducing the temperature after exiting. In one embodiment, air in excess of that needed for combustion is passed through the air preheater with the heated excess air either being dumped or used for a variety of purposes in the plant. A particular embodiment involves segmenting the air outlet side of a rotary regenerative air preheater and withdrawing the excess air from the segment where the dust loading is the lowest. Further, additional cooling of the flue gas can be provided by reducing the quantity of primary air that typically bypasses the air preheater and then providing other ways to control the primary air temperature to the pulverizers. The flue gas temperature may also be cooled after the air preheater by heat exchange or spray cooling with water.

Title: Detonator circuit
Inventor: SHANN PETER CHRISTIAN
IPC: F42D1/055

Granted: 1998-03-05
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB95/02666 Sec. 371 Date May 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 7, 1997 PCT Filed Nov. 14, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/16311 PCT Pub. Date May 30, 1996This invention relates to a detonator firing circuit comprising a control unit and a plurality of detonator circuits. The detonator circuits are arranged to simultaneously receive a "fire" signal and the fire signal initiates all the delay arrangements to allow different groups of detonators to detonate at different times in accordance with a predetermined firing program. In the present invention each detonator circuit has a code individual thereto and the control unit can control and transmit information to every detonator circuit, including the delay to be imparted to the detonator circuit. The identification code for each detonator circuit is preferably one of a large number of identification codes so that the likelihood of the two detonator circuits having the same identification code and having the same firing circuit is extremely small.

Title: Method for the determination of lupus anticoagulant antibodies that cause thrombosis
Inventor: MULLER-BERGHAUS GERT
IPC: G01N33/96
Filed: 1993-08-25
Granted: 1996-12-12
Abstract: To determine lupus anticoagulant (LA) antibodies in blood, plasma or tissue samples via the inhibition brought about by these antibodies on the neutralising effect exerted by activated protein C on the blood coagulation system, a defined amount of activated protein C is added to the sample, after incubation the remaining amount of a physiological substrate of protein C or the protein S activity in the sample is determined by methods known per se, and the amount of LA antibodies present is calculated by comparison with a standard containing no LA antibodies. The method according to the invention can be used to diagnose a predisposition to thrombotic events or the risk of thrombosis due to disease, and for monitoring a therapy. <IMAGE>
Patent AU-619368-B2 (AU)
Title: A method of connecting a gripping device to a sheet or web formed packing laminate
Inventor: SJOSTROM ANDERS
IPC: B65B61/18
Filed: 1989-12-15
Granted: 1992-01-23
Abstract: In the manufacture of single-use disposable packages or cartons for, for example, milk or juice, a web or sheet-formed packaging laminate is normally reformed by folding and sealing processes into individual packages. The material may possibly also be caused to pass through a bath of chemical sterilization agent. As a result of the forming and sterilization processes, it is impossible to provide the material beforehand with applied opening arrangements such as plastic pull-rings or the like. A method of connecting a gripping device to a sheet or web-formed packaging laminate includes the steps of providing the laminate with a non-penetrative hole or recess (6) in which an anchorage device (7) of thermoplastic material is created by injection moulding. The anchorage device does not affect the inner layers (3, 4, 5) of the laminate and consequently creates a reliable and tight anchorage for a gripping device (12) which is applied after reforming of the laminate into the package.

Title: Process for the production of polyurethane foam
IPC: C08J9/14
Filed: 1990-06-29
Granted: 1993-01-14
Abstract: A polyurethane foam is produced using acetone as an auxiliary blowing agent. A polyol, an isocyanate, water, acetone and a catalyst for catalyzing the formation of polyurethane are mixed to produce an unfoamed liquid mixture, which is then retained in bulk form, preferably in an open-topped reaction vessel, for a dwell time during which an exothermic reaction occurs and the liquid foams. Finally, the foaming liquid is spread on to a surface on which it is allowed to expand and form a solid polyurethane foam material. Significant reductions in the amount of auxiliary blowing agent can be achieved, as compared with conventional formulations using methylene or CFC's as auxiliary blowing agents.

The hopper cars (11, 12, 13) have one or more hoppers (21) each having a bottom discharge opening (31) and a controllable gate (32). An endless belt conveyor (40) traverses the length of the train including a portion of the trailer car (15), and underlies the hopper discharge gates (32) so that the hoppers (21) may be emptied sequentially onto the train conveyor (40) to unload the entire train. The trailer car (15) includes a lift portion (45) of the train conveyor (40) to elevate the material for discharge onto a transfer conveyor (50) carried on the trailer car (15). The elongated transfer conveyor (50) is pivotally mounted (51) at the receiving end to be swung laterally to discharge the material received from the train conveyor (40) at some selected point alongside the track. The trailer car (15) may include the power system and control system for operating the conveyors (40, 50) and the hopper gates (32). The train is self-unloading by depositing the train load in a windrow alongside the track while the train is moving slowly. For unloading the train in a stationary position, the transfer conveyor (50) may deposit the material onto a portable stacking conveyor (60) which may then deposit the entire train load in one or more stockpiles which may be thirty feet (9 meters) high and located some distance from the track.
