Patent EP-0657694-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KAPPEN M DIPL-ING
IPC: F23G5/00
Filed: 1994-12-10
Abstract: In the case of a method for burning contaminated adsorbents from flue gas purification, the extracted and contaminated adsorbent, such as, for example, activated coke (charcoal), is ground after intermediate storage to a particle-size distribution of 90% less than 90  mu m and subsequently introduced into the combustion chamber and burnt. In order to achieve this purpose, the burner is aligned with a main furnace, in particular a refuse-incineration grate, or the ground coke is burnt by means of an auxiliary furnace, the adsorbent being burnt approximately in the calorific-value ratio 1:100, optionally with preheated air, before it comes into contact with the grate ash or the grate.

Abstract: A pixel block is coded by both of a quadrature 
transform coding section and a block truncation coding section. 
A code amount counter determines a first code amount of one-block 
coded data produced by the quadrature transform coding 
section. A code amount judgment section compares the first 
code amount with a threshold that is smaller than or equal to 
a second code amount of one-block coded data produced by the 
block truncation coding section, and produces discrimination 
information indicating a comparison result. A selector selects 
the coded data that is output from the quadrature transform 
coding section if the first code amount is smaller than the 
threshold, and selects the coded data that is output from the 
block truncation coding section if the first code amount is 
larger than the threshold. A storage section stores the 
discrimination information for each pixel block and the coded 
data that is output from the selector and corresponds to the 
discrimination information.

Abstract: A plate for an IC card having recesses for mounting components is formed by injection molding of plastics. First, a mold for forming recesses for mounting components is formed to have a slide core. After molten resin is filled in a cavity, the slide core is forced to penetrate into the cavity. Thus, the molten resin is removed by the slide core so as to form the recesses and walls. Because the resin has been filled beforehand, even if the wall is thin, the filling process is carried out normally, and the walls can be formed without increasing an injection pressure.

Abstract: A linear actuator comprises a threaded spindle (4) rotatable in either direction, a threaded bushing (9) that drives an output rod (11) and a reversible motor (12) that drives the spindle via a power transmission (13). In certain cases such as hospital beds it might be desired instantly to arrive at one or the other extreme position or an intermediate position from a random position. This is achieved by a power transmission which by a coil spring can be disconnected from the spindle which is not of the self locking type. The disconnection is caused by the ends of the coil spring being enveloped by and embedded in two cylindrical caps (7,10) that can slide inside one another and are connected such that they by a compression perform a mutual rotation whereby the coil spring can be released.

Abstract: D-sorbitol dehydrogenase in purified form, which catalyzes the oxidation of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose, has a molecular structure consisting of homologous subunit of molecular weight 79,000±5,000, a substrate specificity for polyols and an optimum pH of 6.0-7.0. Said D-sorbitol dehydrogenase is producible by a process comprising cultivating a microorganism belonging to the genus Gluconobacter or Acetobacter, or a mutant or variant thereof, which is capable of producing the D-sorbitol dehydrogenase in the cells and isolating it from the cells, e.g. by disrupting the cells and isolation from cell-free extract of the disrupted cells. The so-isolated D-sorbitol hydrogenase is useful for catalyzing the oxidation of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose, the latter being an important intermediate for the production of vitamin C.

Abstract: The method uses a series of cutting devices, which repeatedly cut thin strips from squared timber. The thickness of the thin strips cut by each individual cutting device (1) is determined separately. The actual detected value is compared to a reference value for the strips cut by this device. The variation generates a signal, which is used to correct the blade setting for subsequent cutting. The actual thickness of a strip is calculated as a differential of the thickness of the remaining timber (5) before and after cutting.

Abstract: A system and method for discovering consumer purchasing tendencies includes a computer-implemented program which identifies consumer transaction itemsets that are stored in a database and which appear in the database a user-defined minimum number of times, referred to as minimum support. Then, the system discovers association rules in the itemsets by comparing the ratio of the number of times each of the large itemsets appears in the database to the number of times particular subsets of the itemset appear in the database. When the ratio exceeds a predetermined minimum confidence value, the system outputs an association rule which is representative of purchasing tendencies of consumers.

Abstract: A technique and circuit for measuring direct current flowing through a conductor at a high voltage employs a capacitor connected in series with the conductor, and a neon lamp connected in parallel with the capacitor. The series connected capacitor and conductor are connected to a high voltage source such that the current flowing through the series connected capacitor and conductor charges up the capacitor. Since the capacitor and the neon lamp are connected in parallel, the voltage across the electrodes of the neon lamp follows the voltage across the capacitor. When the voltage across the electrodes of the neon lamp reaches the lamp's ignition voltage, the neon lamp fires, and discharges the capacitor until the voltage across the electrodes of the neon lamp falls to the lamp's extinction voltage. The light signal generated by the neon lamp is picked up by a fiber optic cable and transmitted to a remote receiver for processing. The direct current flowing through the conductor may then be calculated by the remote receiver from the frequency of the transmitted light signal, or a qualitative indication of the current may be made through visual observation of the lamp's intensity.

Abstract: For digital color copying of full color source images, scanned-in by a color scanner (21), full color representations of the source images are processed (23) to extract image characterizing information from them. This image characterizing information is, in turn, employed to index into a plurality of full color-to-highlight color transforms to automatically select the most appropriate one of these transforms (25) for rendering each of the separately characterized regions of the source image. One of the color transforms is the default transform, so it is selected when a more appropriate transform is not available in accordance with a predetermined mapping of the image characterizing information onto the available transforms. Various image processing techniques can be employed to characterize the scanned in representation of the image, including image segmentation and image annotation recognition.
