Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils visant à éliminer un contaminant d'un flux gazeux, ledit contaminant pouvant être par exemple une trace d'un métal tel que du mercure à l'état de vapeur. Un mode de réalisation de l'invention implique l'utilisation d'un dispositif primaire de recueil de particules destiné à éliminer les matières particulaires. Selon ce mode de réalisation, un filtre sorbant est placé à l'intérieur du boîtier du dispositif primaire de recueil de particules, par exemple précipitateur électrostatique ou filtre à manches, afin d'adsorber le contaminant concerné. Sous un autre mode de réalisation, un filtre sorbant est placé à l'intérieur d'un épurateur, par exemple un épurateur par voie humide, afin d'adsorber le contaminant concerné. Selon certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils pouvant être installés de manière avantageuse dans des équipements de recueil de particules existants ; d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent des procédés et des appareils qui non seulement éliminent un contaminant mais aussi les matières particulaires dans un flux gazeux.

Abstract: An actuator is connected to one of components forming a power transmitting device capable of transmitting a power provided by a valve operating cam provided on a cam shaft, so that the actuator can drive an engine valve in a lift amount which is obtained by addition of a lift amount of the engine valve based on a cam profile of the valve operating cam and a lift amount of the engine valve based on the operation of the actuator. Thus, a portion of the lift amount of the engine valve is borne by the valve operating cam, whereby a valve-opening power borne by the actuator can be reduced, as compared with a system designed so that the engine valve is driven by only the actuator only. The amount of electric power consumed by the actuator can be smaller.

Abstract: A portable inflatable water displacing body (10) for preventing complete submersion of watercraft in immanent danger of sinking due to a sudden influx of water is comprised generally of at least one bladder (12), normally mounted within the hull of the vessel in a collapsed and deflated condition, each bladder having: 1) internal volumetric expansion means (14) including an inlet (26) connected to an external gas source (24) for charging the expansion means and a relief valve (30) for controlling the amount of pressure in the expansion means, and 2) a check valve (16) for allowing one-way passage of ambient air into the bladder. The expansion means (14) is comprised of an extremely light-weight, highly flexible tubular framework which when charged with the gas expands into a pre-defined three-dimensional geometric shape causing the volume within the surrounding bladder to increase. The increase in volume reduces the pressure and creates a partial vacuum, which is filled by air pushed in through the check valve by the higher atmospheric pressure. The expanded water displacing body competes for and successfully occupies space within the vessel's hull, and preferably but not essentially below the waterline, which would otherwise be filled by incoming water. Because both the volume of the vessel and its average density are substantially maintained, so is the buoyancy needed to keep the vessel afloat.

Abstract: An SEO timer (3) detects that an SEO state of a universal serial bus continues for 3 ms or more, and asserts an SE03ms detected signal to a suspending/reset discriminating circuit (4). The suspending/reset discriminating circuit (4) connects a pull-up resistor (6) to a D+ data line, detects that the universal serial bus is in the SE0 state, and asserts a reset detected signal to a reset control circuit (7). The reset control circuit (7) asserts a threshold level changing signal to a receiver (8) for a high-speed mode. The receiver (8) changes the threshold into 250 mV. When the reset control circuit (7) detects a K state of the universal serial bus after chirp driving K is executed and ended, the reset control circuit (7) negates the threshold level changing signal to the receiver (8). The receiver (8) changes the threshold back to 125 mV.

Abstract: An ultra-compact aerovortical swirl-enhanced combustion (ASC) system features an aerovortical swirl generator (14) for use in rocket thrusters utilizing hypergolic or non-hypergolic propellants. The ACS thruster can be sized for diameters ranging from about 0.5 to about 2.0 inches, and producing thrust levels of approximately 5 lb f  to about 250 lb f . A plurality of helicoid flow channels (15A-15D) in the swirl generator (14) introduces swirl into a flow stream of a first propellant within ultra-compact sized rocket thrusters. The ASC system also includes injectors (50,54,56,58) for introducing a second liquid propellant into the swirling flowfield to promote rapid and efficient atomization, mixing and vigorous combustion, which, results in major improvements in combustion and propulsion performance over current rocket thrusters, but in much shorter combustor systems. Hence, the ultra-compact ASC system is a substantial improvement in small bipropellant chemical propulsion thrusters, which can be utilized in-space satellite, spacecraft maneuvering and attitude/orbit control.
