Title: A rail vehicle
Inventor: CORTESI ALBERTO
IPC: B61F3/04
Filed: 1990-08-21
Abstract: The rail vehicle contains a vehicle body and two bogies (4) which each have two wheel sets (5, 5a) with axles (6, 6a), which can be adjusted at least approximately radially with respect to a curve to be travelled through and mounted in axial bearings (7), and a bogey frame (8) which is supported on the axle bearings (7) via support elements which are resilient at least in the longitudinal direction of the bogey. The axles (6, 6a) are additionally each mounted in a guide part (16 and 16a, respectively) and coupled to the vehicle body via connecting means which are suitable for transmitting pulling and/or braking forces, which means comprise, per bogey (4), in each case a single longitudinal connecting element (37) which is coupled in a spatially moveable manner to the vehicle body and to one of the guide parts (16) and two hitch-like connecting parts (17 and 17a) which are rigidly connected in each case to one of the guide parts (16 and 16a). The connecting parts (17 and 17a) are coupled to one another so as to be swivellable in a spatially moveable manner and are supported on a support part (12) of the vehicle so as to be capable of sideways deflection. In accordance with this, the stressing of the bogey frame (8) by the pulling and/or braking forces is avoided and the radial adjustment of the wheel sets (5 and 5a) is made easier. <IMAGE>

Title: Integrated process for producing ethanol,methanol and butyl ethers
Inventor: HALLBERG DAVID E
IPC: C12P7/00
Filed: 1992-03-27
Abstract: A methanol synthesis and an ethanol synthesis are integrated into a single continuous process with the by-product carbon dioxide generated in the ethanol synthesis being utilized in the methanol synthesis. The methanol synthesis and ethanol synthesis can be further integrated with isobutylene synthesis with by-product hydrogen formed during isobutylene synthesis being used as a raw material in the methanol synthesis. In the preferred embodiments the ethanol synthesis utilizes Zymomonas mobilis bacteria in anaerobic fermentation in order to maximize the amount of carbon dioxide produced in a form which can be utilized in the methanol synthesis, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and to provide an ethanol product which is highly suitable for reaction with the isobutylene to form ethyl tertiary butyl ether.
