Patent EP-0662830-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ASHMEAD HARVEY H
IPC: A61K31/555
Filed: 1993-07-28
Abstract: Vitamin and mineral absorption in warm-blooded animals is promoted by means of a class of vitamin chelates where at least one of the bonds between the metal ion and the vitamin ligand is formed between the ion and an electron rich (pi)-cloud of an aromatic ring of the water soluble vitamin. The chelate, containing a total of from one to three ligands, may contain from one up to three vitamin ligands which form a (pi)-bond with the mineral and, when present, one or two amino acid, dipeptide or tripeptide ligands. The mineral is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg, Mn and Ca. The water soluble vitamin ligand is preferably a residue of nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, thiamine, riboflavin and folic acid. The amino acid may be any of the naturally occurring (alpha)-amino acids such as glycine. The (pi)-bond vitamin chelates are absorbed more readily from both the gastric and intestinal areas of the GI tract than vitamins or minerals administered separately or as mixtures.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU93/00547 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 21, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 21, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10452 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994An engine for driving a piston arrangement for pumping water from an inlet to an outlet at a higher level is disclosed. The engine includes a hollow housing having an inlet and an outlet between which liquid passes, the housing at least partly enclosing a chamber through which the liquid flows from the inlet to the outlet. A movable wall is mounted in the housing and partly defines the chamber. A valve is provided to open and close the outlet so that when it closes, liquid in the chamber is suddenly decelerated producing an increase in pressure in the chamber to force the wall to move to a direction so as to increase the volume of the chamber. After an initial increase in the pressure, the water relaxes and the pressure decreases to such an extent that a spring will open the valve and the spring returns the wall to the position of decreased volume in the chamber. Thus, the wall is caused to reciprocate under the influence of pressure of the liquid increasing and decreasing as the valve is opened and shut.

Title: Flow regulating valve of the ball or plug type.
Inventor: ROTATROL AG
IPC: F16K47/04
Filed: 1993-11-02
Abstract: The flow regulating valve (10) of the ball or plug type comprises a ball (13) which rotates about a rotation axis (14) and comprises a shut-off area (15) and a regulation area (16). The regulation area (16) comprises a series of channels (160) arranged in planes substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis (14) and which are provided with an expansion area (161). At the initial opening of the valve, the surface of the channels (160) in conctact with the inlet line (17) is reduced. Frictions are created in the channel (160) and in the expansion area (161) thereby providing for an important load loss. At the end of the opening, the surface of the channels in contact with the inlet line is important. The fluid circulates in planar sheets, without swirls and with a low load loss. Applications: pressure fluid supply circuit, high differential pressure circuit, decompression circuits, pressure equilibrating circuits.

Abstract: On récupère des oléfines à partir de gaz soumis au craquage catalytique, de manière sûre, efficace et économique et sans accumuler de quantités nocives d'oxydes d'azote, en effectuant la récupération à des températures suffisamment élevées pour empêcher l'oxydation d'oxyde nitrique (NO) en dioxyde d'azote (NO2) et pour empêcher l'accumulation d'oxydes d'azote indésirables. L'une des façons de parvenir à ce résultat consiste à utiliser la technologie d'absorption comme pour faire fonctionner le déméthaniseur plutôt que la technologie cryogénique typique. Un courant de gaz (10) ayant subi un craquage catalytique est tout d'abord lavé pour enlever les gaz acides, y compris le dioxyde d'azote (NO2), puis est amené à passer à travers une tour de fractionnement/dépropaniseur (12). Des hydrocarbures comprenant au moins quatre atomes de carbone sont récupérés dans les résidus (16) du dépropaniseur, et la fraction de tête (14) du dépropaniseur, qui est composée d'hydrocarbures présentant un maximum de trois atomes de carbone, est transférée vers une tour déméthaniseur/d'absorption (18). Des hydrocarbures contenant au moins deux atomes de carbone sont récupérés dans les résidus de cette tour, dans laquelle les températures ne sont pas inférieures à -46 °C (-50 °F) environ. La fraction de tête (20) provenant de la tour déméthaniseur/d'absorption, et qui est composée de méthane, d'hydrogène et de traces d'oxyde d'azote, de C2 et d'absorbant (C3), est alors refroidie pour être condensée (24) et pour récupérer les traces de C2 et de gaz plus lourds, y compris de l'absorbant C3 (26), à des températures égales ou supérieures à -101 °C (-150 °F).

Abstract: A method for ultrasonically inspecting a closely packed regular array of mutually parallel, uniformly sized and spaced rigid rods surrounded by a thin-walled metallic channel and immersed in a compressible medium. The method utilizes the properties of coherently scattered ultrasonic waves to identify rods which are defective, out of position or missing. A plane, monochromatic ultrasonic wave is transmitted toward the array of rods on one side thereof. Then an interference pattern produced on an opposing side of the array is detected. This interference pattern is the result of multiple scattering and diffraction of the plane ultrasonic wave during propagation through the array of rods. When the wavelength is comparable with the rod diameter and the rods are not too close together, scattering results in spatial relationships that produce an unusually large amount of wave penetration through the array in certain directions relative to the incident propagation vector. This is akin to Bragg scattering and is dependent on direction, wavelength, and details of the cylindrical array dimensions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A protective bellows (5) for protecting the steering mechanism of a motor vehicle body is shown. The bellows has a fixing collar (12) for gripping the outside of the casing (18) of the steering mechanism, and a fixing collar (14) for gripping a mounting region (20) of the steering rod (16). In order to be fitted into position, however, the fixing collar (14) has to be stretched to pass over a boss (22) of diameter A. The bellows is produced by blow-moulding from EPDM-polypropylene or similar thermoplastic material. Because of the lesser resilience of this material, compared with previously used materials such as thermoplastic polyurethane, the initial diameter of the fixing collar (14) has to be selected in dependence on the relative values for the diameters of the boss (22) and the mounting region (20) in order to ensure that the pressure with which the fixing collar (14) grips the mounting region (20) provides adequate sealing not only initially but throughout the expected life of the bellows.
