Abstract: An engine (18) delivers torque to a transmission drive shaft (12) through a flywheel (14) and a damper (16). The damper (16) includes a drive plate (30) attached to the flywheel (14) which is in turn mounted on the engine crankshaft (10). The damper (16) has two driven plates (32, 34) which are fixed on the transmission drive shaft (12). The drive plate (30) and driven plates (32, 34) have openings (48, 52, 54) for retaining springs (36, 36') through which torque is transmitted from the drive plate (30) to the driven plates (32, 34). The flywheel (14) has a plurality of arcuate segments (24) equally spaced apart around a peripheral edge to form a plurality of windows (26). One of the driven plates (32) has a plurality of radially extending fingers (56) each extending into one of the windows (26) so that gaps (26a, 26b) exist between each finger (56) and two adjacent arcuate segments (24). As torque is transmitted through the damper (16) the springs (36, 36') are compressed and the fingers (56) move in the windows (26). A single sensor (58) senses the passage of the arcuate segments (24), gaps (26a, 26b) and fingers (56) and generates an output signal which is analyzed by a microcomputer (60) to produce indications of engine RPM and torque transmitted through the damper (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides tunable waste conversion systems and apparatus which have the advantage of highly robust operation and which provide complete or substantially complete conversion of a wide range of waste streams into useful gas and a stable, nonleachable solid product at a single location with greatly reduced air pollution to meet air quality standards. The systems provide the capability for highly efficient conversion of waste into high quality combustible gas and for high efficiency conversion of the gas into electricity by utilizing a high efficiency gas turbine or an internal combustion engine. The solid product can be suitable for various commercial applications. Alternatively, the solid product stream, which is a safe, stable material, may be disposed of without special considerations as hazardous material. In the preferred embodiment, the arc plasma furnace and joule heated melter are formed as a fully integrated unit with a common melt pool having circuit arrangements for the simultaneous independently controllable operation of both the arc plasma and the joule heated portions of the unit without interference with one another. The preferred configuration of this embodiment of the invention utilizes two arc plasma electrodes with an elongated chamber for the molten pool such that the molten pool is capable of providing conducting paths between electrodes. The apparatus may additionally be employed with reduced use or without further use of the gases generated by the conversion process. The apparatus may be employed as a net energy or net electricity producing unit where use of an auxiliary fuel provides the required level of electricity production. Methods and apparatus for converting metals, non-glass forming waste streams and low-ash producing inorganics into a useful gas are also provided. The methods and apparatus for such conversion include the use of a molten oxide pool having predetermined electrical, thermal and physical characteristics capable of maintaining optimal joule heating and glass forming properties during the conversion process.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for discriminating between signals generated by means sensitive to variations in the pressure of a gaseous fluid. This method is characterized in that, in order to discriminate between electrical signals, it operates as follows: when a means (5) sensitive to pressure variations generates an electrical signal, the evolution of the amplitude of at least one characteristic of this signal is monitored and, when two successive amplitude variations (A1, A2) substantially opposite relative to a median value (M) are detected, a means (6) for informing people is inhibited, whereas when amplitude variations of a different type are detected, the means (6) for informing people is activated.

Abstract: A computer system comprises a keyboard ( 11 ), a display screen ( 13 ), a first pair of position-sensing electrodes ( 18.1, 18.2 ), a second pair of position-sensing electrodes ( 20.1, 20.2 ), a signal injection electrode ( 22 ), and an oscillator ( 27 ). The oscillator injects a signal via the signal injection electrode and the operator's left hand (L) into the operator's body, and this creates a field around the operator's right hand (R). The position-sensing electrodes are arranged underneath the keyboard and sense the strength of the field. This enables the position of the operator's right hand (R) in an X-Y plane above the keyboard to be determined. To this end the position-sensitive electrodes are connected via synchronous detectors ( 34, 44 ) and an analogue-to-digital converter ( 36 ) to a microprocessor ( 46 ), which operates to control the position of a cursor on the display screen.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method which consists in generating an activated and metastable form of hydrogen from a hydrogen plasma confined in the metal lattice interstitial sites by exposing the confined plasma to the action of a magnetic field in conjunction with a displacement of the protons and electrons in a direction parallel to the magnetic field action. Said exposure generates from the confined plasma the required activated and metastable form of hydrogen. Then the interesting effects of this activated form are recuperated. Figure 1 shows a device more particularly adapted for managing nuclear waste and enabling for example to transform Uranium 238 into Thorium 232.

Abstract: A method for chemically removing hydrocarbons from oil contaminated material is described. The method comprises contacting the material containing the oil with a combinations of surfactants in an oil carrier similar to or identical to the oil to be removed. This process avoids the use of water. Therefore the process does not compromise the quality of the oil by having water as a contaminant and thus eliminating the possibility of oil contaminated water getting into the environment. In certain examples, when the process is used to remove oil from land based well bore cuttings, the processed well bore cuttings contain high levels of chlorides, which is an environmental problem. In such examples the method also includes contacting the well bore cuttings with a solution of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate in water to reduce the chloride concentration. An apparatus designed for this purpose is also described.
