Title: Method for heating a steam turbine
Inventor: PETERS KARSTEN
IPC: F01K13/02
Filed: 2006-10-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for heating a steam turbine (8) comprising a medium-pressure turbine section (2) and/or a low-pressure turbine section (6), the discharge end of the medium-pressure turbine section (2) being provided with a catchment device (7). According to the inventive method, steam penetrating the medium-pressure turbine section (2) during a starting process is retained at an outlet (3) by means of the catchment device (7) in such a way that the pressure of the steam increases in the medium-pressure turbine section (2). The steam that is discharged from the medium-pressure turbine section (2) is retained, thus increasing the pressure and the temperature of the steam. Heat transfer from the steam to the thick-walled parts located on the medium-pressure turbine section (2) and the shaft of the medium-pressure turbine section is augmented, thus reducing the starting time of the steam turbine.

Title: Electrosurgical instrument
Inventor: ARTS GENE H
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2008-09-08
Abstract: An electrosurgical instrument provides pressurized gas to a surgical site and includes a hand-held applicator having a housing with proximal and distal ends and a tube defined therethrough. The tube is adapted to connect to a source of pressurized gas and is configured to selectively deliver a volume of pressurized gas to a surgical site. An actuator is also included which is configured to selectively regulate the volume of pressurized ionizable gas flowing through the tube. The actuator selectively regulates the flow of the gas through the tube. The actuator is positionable from a first position which allows a first predetermined volume of pressurized ionizable gas to flow through the tube for dissection purposes to at least one subsequent position which allows a different volume of pressurized ionizable gas to flow through the tube for coagulation purposes. The actuator, when disposed in the at least one subsequent position, operatively communicates with an active electrode to ionize the different volume of pressurized ionizable gas prior to the different volume of pressurized ionizable gas exiting the tube.

Filed: 2007-11-19
Abstract: The connector is intended for use in displays of the kind which include a display frame formed of a plurality of beams (1) which are joined together by multi-way node fittings to form a three-dimensional shape, and display pa nels are releasably secured to the beams. The connector includes a male fitt ing (3) which has a stem (8) projecting from a plate (4), and a head (9) com prising four noses which project laterally from the stem. The head (9) is in serted in a correspondingly-shaped aperture of a female node fitting and rot ated into positive engagement with the inner face of the node fitting. The t railing faces of the four noses have oppositely-inclined ramps which act to provide progressive tightening and alignment of the connector as the male pa rt is rotated within the aperture. The connector provides a joint with great er stability and enables a firm connection to be obtained with a smaller ang le of rotation and reduced engagement force. The strength of joint is less d ependent on manufacturing tolerances and the connection is less likely to be come slack due to wear or damage. Modified male fittings have threaded socke ts for attaching feet and other items to the display, and caps are provided to cover any unused apertures in the node fitting.

Inventor: FABIYI MALCOLM
IPC: C02F3/12
Filed: 2007-11-13
Abstract: A system and method for mixing high viscous liquids with gas is provided. The disclosed embodiments include a reactor or mixing vessel (11) having a draft tube (12) disposed therein, a gas injection subsystem adapted to inject gas into the reactor or mixing vessel proximate the entrance of the (19) draft tube. The embodiments also include an agitator (16) disposed within the draft tube which makes the draft tube the primary site for the gas-liquid mixing. In particular, the agitator is adapted to create gas bubbles having an average diameter between about 0.3 mm and 3.0 mm which are then ejected into the reactor or mixing vessel. The mass transfer efficiency associated with the present system and method is enhanced from the combined effect of gas dissolution into the high viscous liquid within the draft tube and greater bubble residence time within the high viscous liquid.
