Title: Polycondensation of organic silicon compounds
Inventor: FRIEDRICH THOMAS
IPC: C12P9/00
Filed: 2001-09-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the polycondensation of organic silicon compounds at pH values between 6 and 8 in the presence of a lipase, said lipase being optionally immobilised on a carrier consisting of polymer materials. Suitable polycondensable organic silicon compounds are (RO)(R1O)(R2O)(R3O)Si, (RO)(R1O)(R2O)(R3O)SiR3, (RO)(R1O)Si(R2)(R3) and (RO)SiR1R2R3 with R, R1, R2 and R3 independently representing C1- to C10-alkyl, C3- to C10-cycloalkyl, C4- to C20-alkylcycloalkyl, aryl, C6- to C16-alkylaryl, the alkyl groups being linear or branched. It is advantageous that the lipase can be obtained relatively easily by means of large-scale fermentation processes. Lipases from Pseudomona species are preferable.
Patent CA-2424708-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DANISCH LEE A
IPC: B60R21/01
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: The invention relates to the apparatus for and a method of sensing impact between a vehicle and an object and particularly between a pedestrian and the front bumper of a vehicle. An optical fiber array extends along the bumper and the array has sensors spaced along the bumper. A sensor comprises light loss areas spaced peripherally and axially on a fiber. An impact distorts the sensors, modulating light transmitted along the fiber or fibers. A signal is produced which is processed by a signal processor and an output signal generated. The output signal is used to actuate a safety device, such as elevating the vehicle hood to increase clearance between hood and engine, to reduce the severity of any injuries.

Title: Combined degassing and flotation tank
Inventor: OSEROED STEIN EGIL
IPC: B01D21/00
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A combined degassing and flotation tank for separation of a water influent containing considerable amounts of oil and gas. A rotational flow is created in the tank which forces the lighter components such as oil and gas droplets towards an inner concentric cylindrical wall where they coalesce and rise to the surface of the liquid and are removed via the outlet (3) whereas the heavier parts are forced down where the heavy particles sink to the lower part where they may be removed as a sludge. The water is discharged via an outlet in the lower part of the tank. The combined degassing and flotation tank is particular suited for use in oil production at sea for removal of oil and gasses from water streams before the water is returned to the sea.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a switching apparatus having an actuating shaft, an actuator, at least one switch and a housing.      In such known cam switches however, as a consequence of inevitable tolerances, the precision cannot be increased just as may be desired, and frequently there is a conflict between the requirement for a high level of precision and at the same time a small installation size.      In order further to develop a switching apparatus of the kind set forth in the opening part of this specification, in such a way that the switching accuracy and the level of resolution, that is to say the possibility of securely differentiating between two different switching positions, is improved, therefore a switching apparatus of the kind set forth in the opening part of this specification is further developed by the actuator being in the form of at least one sliding actuating guide which is connected with a first sliding actuating guide portion to the actuating shaft and which with a second sliding actuating guide portion at least partially embraces the actuating shaft at a predetermined spacing, wherein provided on the convex side of the second sliding actuating guide portion is an actuating track for the switch or switches, insofar as at at least one predetermined position the spacing between the outer peripheral edge and the actuating shaft is greater for a predetermined arcuate dimension than at other positions of the second sliding actuating guide portion.

Abstract: An instant steam generator is descibed which will supply various amounts and quality of steam as required by different applications.A combustion chamber with a water cooled jacket and the cooling water then sprayed at both ends is employed. In use, the first water spray would control the temperature of the flame keeping NOX production at a minimum while not quenching the flame as to produce unwanted levels of carbon monoxide.This reduced flame temperature would also protect internal components from heat damage. The second water spray, located after complete combustion has taken place would control the temperature of the process steam. The device in operation would produce steam with low levels of NOX and carbon monoxide and a longer burner life.
