Title: Method and device for burning disintegrated plant-based fuel
Inventor: HONKASALO MARTTI
IPC: F23N5/02
Filed: 1997-05-21
Abstract: A method of burning plant-based fuel is involved in which the plant-based fuel is burned in a boiler designed for burning dry fuel and with the plant-based fuel being used having a moisture value which can vary in range from dry to wet. The method involves heating air with heat energy from combustion gases of the boiler to provide a source of heated air and providing heat and flow amounts of the heated air, with derived heat energy from the combustion gases, to the fuel in an amount sufficient for drying the fuel in any condition presented amongst the range between dry and wet. The flow of the heated air directed to the fuel is controlled to provide sufficient drying of the fuel before use of the fuel in the boiler and such that the heated air not needed for drying the fuel is conducted into the boiler to serve as heated combustion air.

Title: Block formation system and method for controlling the folding of a block
Inventor: SANDER THOMAS
IPC: B65H45/20
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: A system for forming a block of folded material, and a method for folding material into a block. The system includes a folding mechanism, a lifting element receiving and supporting the block of folding material, a press acting on the block to compress an uppermost layer of the web material onto the block, a sensor detecting a degree of compression in the block, and an actuator capable of moving the the lifting element relative to the folding mechanism.

Patent AU-3310295-A (AU)
Title: Process for isomerizing linear olefins to isoolefins
Inventor: POWERS DONALD H
IPC: B01J29/06
Filed: 1995-10-06
Abstract: This invention provides a process to convert linear alkenes such as butene-1 and butene-2 to methyl branched chain alkenes such as isobutylene using one dimensional, medium pore zeolite catalysts and similar type catalysts such as SAPO's and MeAPOS's. The pore size for the catalyst should be greater than 0.42 nm and less than 0.7 nm, preferably with a larger dimension of between 0.5 and 0.6 nm. This pore size allows the branched chain alkenes to form and diffuse out of the catalyst while reducing the formation of unwanted by-products, including dimers, trimers, aromatics and coke. This invention has been demonstrated with H-ferrierite, SAPO-11, and magnesium mordenite in a laboratory scale reactor. Selectivities ranging from about 50% to almost 100% were demonstrated for isobutylene formation using H-ferrierite, at temperatures ranging from about 340 DEG C to about 440 DEG C.
Patent AU-3425289-A (AU)
Title: Electrooptical semiconductor device assembly
Inventor: CAMERON KEITH HENDERSON
IPC: H01S5/00
Filed: 1989-03-29
Abstract: An external cavity laser assembly in which the laser chip is within a hermetically sealed package and the external cavity is outside the hermetic package. A collimating lens in a screw threaded mounting is disposed outside the hermetic package, the screw thread permitting focussing. The cavity is tuned by rotation and translation of a grating, the position of which is electrically controlled via piezoelectric stacks. Thermal expansion of the stacks is compensated by mounting the grating on a rod of suitable material (e.g. ceramic) which also serves to reduce the cavity length whilst allowing maximum piezoextension. In a second embodiment the assembly is a tunable laser amplifier, with a grating being driven in a similar manner to provide the tuning.

Title: Implantable blood pump
Inventor: POL VINCENT
IPC: A61M60/894
Filed: 1984-12-20
Abstract: Inside a flexible shell (10), a deformable pocket (20) is connected to blood circulation via an inlet valve (30) and an outlet valve (40). The pocket is compressed by a floating assembly comprising a drum (50), and a bracket (60) rotatable about the axis thereof. One of the edges (21) of the pocket (20) is fixed to the drum (50); the opposite edge (22) is connected to the bracket (60) by a traction link (70), for example an inextensible sheet. Relative rotation between the drum and the bracket over a fraction of a turn enables the pocket (20) to be wrapped around the drum (50) and the assembly returns to its starting position under the effect of venous pressure. The disposition of the various components provides a self-adapting lever which limits mechanical losses to rolling friction between the drum and the pocket.
