Title: Charge transfer apparatus and method therefor
Inventor: LIMPAECHER RUDOLF
IPC: H02M5/45
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method transfers electric charge between a charge storage device (25) and a first power terminal (11) having a plurality of first-nodes. The method interchanges charge between the charge storage device and a first first-node of the plurality of first-nodes through an inductive section (22), and, when a predetermined charge has been interchanged between the charge storage device and the first first-node, replacing the first first-node by a second first-node of the plurality of first-nodes. Charge is interchanged between the charge storage device and the second first-node through the inductive section. Preferably, the ratio of the charge interchanged between the charge storage device and the first first-node and the charge interchanged between the charge storage device and the second first-node is equal to a ratio of the currents drawn from the first first-node and the second first-node. Charge can also be interchanged between the charge storage device and a second power terminal (12) using a similar method.

IPC: F25D3/10
Filed: 2001-08-15
Abstract: A method and device used for systems for reducing gas pressure in a well or a main pipe-line to the gas pressure required by a customer. A known method for utilising the energy of a gas during a reduction of the pressure thereof from the high pressure, for instance a pressure in the main pipe-line, to the required pressure is carried out by converting the energy of a gas expansion into mechanical energy using the pressure of the liquefied cooled gas as a coolant. The method lies in the multiple reduction of the gas pressure and in a multiple extraction of the cold thus produced. The device is characterised in that the input thereof is connected to well or a main pipe-line (3) having a high pressure, and the output is connected to the pipe-line having a low pressure or to the customers (7, 9) with the low pressure. The device comprises a gas expansion engine (for example, a gas expansion turbine) embodied in two parts (1, 2) which are arranged successively in the direction of the pressure reduction, a mechanical energy conversion device (4) which is kinematically connected to the gas expansion engine, for example an electric generator, and also two or more heat exchangers.

IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: An osmotic pump (10) for providing sustained delivery of a beneficial agent that has a mechanism for preventing excessive internal pressure is disclosed. The pump (10) comprises a reservoir (20) for holding the beneficial agent, an osmotic composition (16) comprising an osmotic agent, at least one wall defining a boundary of the reservoir (20), at least one vent (26) formed through the at least one wall, a semi-permeable membrane (22) positioned to seal the at least one vent (26). The semi-permeable membrane (22) being capable of displacement relative to the reservoir (20) when a threshold pressure in the osmotic pump (10) is reached, wherein the vent (26) is exposed to the osmotic agent (16) and at least a portion of the osmotic agent is released (16) from the reservoir when the semi-permeable membrane (22) is displaced relative to the reservoir (20).
