Title: Verfahren zur Überprüfung der katalytischen Aktivität eines Katalysators
Inventor: BAERTS CHRISTIAAN
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2000-10-28
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft zwei Verfahren zur Überprüfung der katalytischen Aktivität eines
Katalysators, der in der Abgasführung eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet ist. Es stellt sich das
Problem, ein neues Verfahren zur Überprüfung der katalytischen Aktivität eines Katalysators,
der in der Abgasführung eines Kraftfahrzeuges angeordnet ist, bereitzustellen. Das Problem
wird für ein Verfahren dadurch gelöst, daß ausgehend von einem Kaltstart von dem
Temperaturfühler ein Temperaturverlauf erfasst wird und dabei ein Temperaturplateau bestimmt
wird und daß die Länge des Temperaturplateaus mit der Länge eines an einem neuen
Katalysator vorab bestimmten Temperaturplateaus verglichen wird und daß eine Verkürzung
der Länge des gemessenen Temperaturplateaus gegenüber der Länge des vorab bestimmten
Temperaturplateaus als eine Alterung des Katalysators ausgewertet wird und daß der
Katalysator als defekt beurteilt wird, wenn die Verkürzung einen festgesetzten Grenzwert
überschreitet.

Abstract: A chaff collection apparatus (60) includes a chaff tray (62)
coupled to the internal drum (20) below the side punches (50). The
chaff tray (62) includes a cover (64) comprising a plurality of
evenly spaced frangible fingers (66). A specific set of the
fingers (66) is removed from the cover (64) according to the
locations of the side punches (50) on the internal drum (20). In
this manner, only the portions of the cover (64) below the side
punches (50) are open to the interior of the chaff tray (62). The
chaff produced by each punch (50) passes into the chaff tray (62)
through a respective opening (68) in the cover (64), and is captured
within the chaff tray (62). The areas of the cover (64) of the chaff
tray (62) that are not located below the side punches (50) remain
covered by the remaining frangible fingers (66), thereby preventing
chaff from escaping the chaff tray (62).

Abstract: The system includes a computer adapted to conduct voice-over-data-protocol
telephone calls, typically voice over Internet Protocol. Alternatively, the computer is
adapted to conduct multi-media-over-data-protocol calls. The computer is connected to
an on-line data service such as by a dial-up telephone connection. While on-line, a user
at the computer is able to conduct telephone or multi-media calls with a voice-over-data-protocol
or multi-media-over-data-protocol respectively. The user is able to place the
call on hold, without disconnecting the call and perform other actions, such as performing
on-line activities, or taking a second voice or multi-media call. The party placed on hold
is informed of the hold action. The hold function is typically invoked by the computer
and performed at a gateway, though hold at the computer and invoke by the non-computer
party are alternatives. A set-top-box is considered a computer within the scope
of the invention.

Abstract: A method of forming material layers on a substrate
using atomic gas is provided. A substrate is heated to an
elevated temperature and is exposed to an atomic gas. The
atomic gas reacts at a surface of the substrate to form a
material layer thereon. The source of atomic gas preferably
comprises a molecular gas source operatively coupled to a
remote microwave plasma system that dissociates the
molecular gas into highly reactive atomic gas. Gate quality
silicon dioxide, oxynitride and silicon nitride may be
formed by the dissociation of O 2 , O 2  and N 2  or NH 3 , and N 2  or
NH 3 , respectively, at reduced temperatures (e.g., about 600-650°C).
Because of the reduced formation temperatures, a
uniform heating mechanism such as a ceramic heater may be
employed for substrate heating so that a more uniformly-thick
material layer results. To reduce recombination of
gas atoms into molecular gas, the path length between the
atomic gas source and the substrate is reduced, or an inert
gas may be used to dilute the atomic gas so as to spatially
separate gas atoms. A portion of the path between the
atomic gas source and the substrate also may be coated with
a protective coating to prevent gas atom recombination.

Abstract: Power generation equipment (10) comprises a compressor
(11,12) into which finely dispersed water is directed. Air
compressed by the compressor (11,12) is directed into
combustion equipment (13) where it is mixed with steam and
fuel before combustion takes place. The resultant combustion
products pass through two turbines (14,15), the second of
which (15) is a power turbine. The exhaust efflux from the
power turbine (15) is then cooled to such an extent that its
pressure falls to below atmospheric pressure. The carbon
dioxide is removed from the efflux by means of a
sequestration membrane (33) before the pressure of the efflux
is raised to above atmospheric pressure by a further
compressor (16) driven by the power turbine (15). The
equipment (10) is very efficient and produces low levels of
pollution.

are optically conjugated with the remote subscriber radiation sources. In the preferred
embodiments, the mountings of the radiation sources and optical receivers enable their
movement along the curved surface as well as along an optical beam axis. Also, a preferred

party (74) using its endpoint system to request and obtain ([2])from the service system (69)
an identifier which the second party (74) then passes over the telephone to the first party
(60). Next, the first party (60) uses its endpoint system to connect to the network and send
