Abstract: A method for generating power in a solid fuel gas turbine utilizing a pressurized fluidized bed combustor (33) (PFBC) achieves high efficiency by evaporation cooling and regenerative heating of the compressor discharge air, thus eliminating the need to recover heat from the turbine exhaust gas by a costly and complex steam bottoming system. 
     Air (26) is compressed in compressor (27) and then mixed with water (30) sprayed into a spray evaporator (29), thereby producing cooled compressed air (40). This cooled compressed air (40) is then heated by gas turbine (14) exhaust gases before passing into PFBC (33). 
     Solid fuel (10) is then burnt in the PFBC (33), thereby producing vitiated air which is then expanded in the gas turbine (14) after having been cleaned by cyclone separator (25). 
     A cycle for avoiding turbine fouling, and thus compressor surge, as well as a cycle with the use of a coal desired hydrocarbon-based low BTU gas in a top-up combustor are also disclosed.

Abstract: A known operating method for the protection of electric motors against overload detects the rotor speed and the supplied power in order to derive an accumulated total value by comparison with stored motor heating values associated with the operating state data, which total value corresponds to the relative heating state of the motor. The new operating method and the control circuit are intended to ensure overload protection for large high-voltage motors where the starting losses are converted in the rotor, for the rotor parts which are affected during asynchronous starting and in the fixedly braked state, taking into account their heating and cooling characteristic, even in the case of these transient processes. In the case of the operating method and the control circuit for monitoring the rotor parts of the high-voltage motor 30 which are affected during starting, the type and duration of the respective operating states (including transient operating states), stator current I1 and speed n are determined and compared with operating state matrices 39, 40. Using a theoretical heating model, the time- dependent dynamic heating characteristic of the rotor parts affected during the starting is represented from said model by means of a heating state matrix 41 by displaying discrete values, by means of which the possible starts are monitored and protective devices 46, 47 are controlled. Brushless high-voltage asynchronous motors, or high-voltage synchronous motors, of high power with asynchronous starting. <IMAGE>

Title: Cable televison spread spectrum data transmission apparatus.
Inventor: PIDGEON REZIN E JR
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1989-04-28
Abstract: Apparatus for transmitting data spread across at least a portion of the bandwidth of a cable television channel comprises a carrier signal oscillator, a frequency divider, a pseudorandom sequence generator and two exclusive OR gates. A first exclusive OR gate serves to spread a data signal across the pseudorandom noise sequence generator having a much higher chip rate than the bit rate of the data signal. The second exclusive OR gate modulates the spread spectrum data signal to a carrier frequency for transmission over the cable television channel. The apparatus may be applied for return path transmission in the 0-30 megahertz band which is high susceptible to interference noise and provides approximately a 20 dB signal to interference ratio advantage over known data coding and transmission schemes. A microprocessor normally present in a cable television terminal may format data for transmission, control the spread spectrum modulation process and control gain control circuitry for introducing an appropriate power level into the cable plant.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à la synthèse du cholestérol et à l'accumulation et la régulation des niveaux de cholestérol dans les tissus corporels. Plus spécifiquement, la présente invention a établi que le composé 26-aminocholestérol, représenté par la formule (I), ainsi que des analogues et des dérivés de ce composé présentent une activité biologique comme inhibiteurs puissants de la synthèse du cholestérol et/ou de l'accumulation de cholestérol dans les tissus corporels. De tels composés sont des inhibiteurs puissants de l'enzyme HMGCoA réductase et de l'accumulation de lipoprotéines de faible densité par les cellules non hépatiques. On a découvert de façon tout à fait surprenante que le 26-aminocholestérol est sélectif pour les cellules fibroblastiques (du plasma) et n'a pas ou n'a que peu d'effet sur les cellules hépatiques (du foie). Des composés thérapeutiques décrits dans la présente invention contiennent des stérols substitués ou non substitués représentés par la formule (II), où les atomes de carbone aux positions 5 et 6 du stérol sont soit saturées soit non saturées, R1 représente soit un groupe 3-hydroxyle soit un groupe 3-céto, R2 représente soit un groupe hydroxyle soit un groupe céto et au moins l'un des éléments R3, R4 et R5 représente un groupe amino et les autres sont chacun sélectionnés dans le groupe composé de l'hydrogène et d'un groupe amino.

Abstract: Le cadre (2) est composé de segments de tige profilée présentant une section en U. D'une traverse (4) partent deux branches, dont l'une (5) présente la forme d'une lèvre d'étanchéité. L'autre branche (6) est sensiblement plus épaisse et sert non seulement de suspension élastique pour l'élément (1) maintenu dans le cadre (2), mais aussi de dispositif pour absorber les tolérances de montage. Dans ce but, elle présente des saillies (11) qui ont également pour effet de réduire le passage du froid de l'élément à la structure de support (3, 10) du bâtiment, en raison de leur faible surface d'appui. A l'extrémité de la traverse (4) située du côté de la branche épaisse (6) est placé un dispositif d'ancrage (12) qui forme avec cette branche (6) une encoche (13) dans laquelle vient s'insérer une tige profilée coudée disposée contre le support du bâtiment (3) pour fixer le cadre (2). Bien que l'élément (1) soit solidement maintenu dans le cadre (2), ce dernier est en mesure d'absorber non seulement les différences de dilatation thermique entre l'élément (1) et le support (3), mais aussi des contraintes dynamiques (tempêtes ou tremblements de terre), même sur les façades de grandes dimensions.

Abstract: Text (indicia, words, symbols, etc.) of documents (10) is highlighted in such a way that it will reproduce when electronically copied (e.g. photocopied or telecopied). This is accomplished by applying a tone (17) to only that area of the document to be highlighted and so that the tone remains in place during copying. The tone is sufficiently dark so as to highlight the text, but light enough so that the text is readable. The tone may be a dot or line screened tone having about 30-65 lines per inch with a density of about 10-22%. The tone may be applied on adhesive tape (15) and just placed over the document portions to be highlighted. The tape may be dispensed from a dispenser (24). Alternatively the tone may be on a transfer sheet (52, 152), and is transferred to the document merely by the act of rubbing on the transfer sheet. The tone may also be applied to the document utilizing a print wheel (63, 163) in a casing (62, 162), that is moved over the document. After the document is electronically copied (e.g. by a photocopier or a facsimile machine, for example) the document is highlighted yet the text is clearly legible.
