Granted: 2013-01-10
Abstract: A method of operation of an electric turbocompounding system for a reciprocating engine comprises the steps of retrieving from the engine ECU data pertaining to engine condition, retrieving from a set of turbine efficiency data an optimum turbogenerator speed at the engine condition, setting a desired turbogenerator set speed based on the engine condition and on a speed at which turbine efficiency is deemed to be optimum, measuring an output voltage of the turbogenerator, comparing the measured voltage with a pre-determined voltage range and where the measured voltage falls outside of the pre-determined voltage range, adjusting the turbogenerator set speed to reduce or increase the output voltage to within the pre-determined voltage range. The method also takes account of sudden increase in torque demand, such as accelaration, and additional exhaust gas recirculation (egr).

Title: A liquid, homogenous herbicide composition, a method of weed control, a method of production of liquid, homogenous herbicide composition and use of a liquid, homogenous herbicide composition for weed control
Inventor: WOZNICA ZENON
IPC: A01N25/30
Filed: 2008-11-06
Granted: 2013-06-13
Abstract: This invention relates to a liquid, homogenous herbicide composition, a method of weed control, a method of production of a liquid, homogenous herbicide composition and use of a liquid, homogenous herbicide composition for weed control. More precisely the invention relates to a liquid, homogenous herbicide composition containing glyphosate as the active substance and a mixture of modifying-activating adjuvants, made up of ammonium sulphate, one or several carboxylic acids, a non-ionic surfactant from the alkylpolyglycoside group of alkyl chain length Cg to C16 or its mixture with one or several amphoteric surfactants from the iminodipropionates, betaine and amino-oxide group, and compatibilising substances allowing preparation of a homogenous and stable formulation. The herbicide composition, after dilution with water and applied at an appropriate rate per area unit, is assigned for weed and other undesired plants control. Adjuvants contained in the composition exhibit multifunctional action: they overcoming the antagonistic effect of mineral salts found in water used for dilution and application of the herbicide, facilitating spray droplets retention and wetting of the surface of sprayed plants, intensify absorption of the herbicide active ingredient into plant cells and its transport to the site of action, ensuring as the result high and stable efficacy of glyphosate used in the composition in different technical and environmental conditions.

Title: Locating oil or gas actively or passively by observing a porous oil and gas saturated system giving off its characteristic resonance response to artificial excitation or ambient background noise, including optional differentiation of oil, gas and water
Inventor: ZUERCHER HANNES
IPC: G01V1/30
Filed: 2009-12-02
Granted: 2015-06-04
Abstract: EDITORIAL NOTE Please note that the claim paragraphs before the abstract are not considered to belong to the specification as accepted. 10. testing seismograms to identify rock-volume only oscillations based on shear wave effects, 11. selecting from the so gained set of synthetic seismograms a set best fitting the real ones, thereby obtaining the most likely fitting fluid from for oils, gas or water and so differentiating between them. This patent deals with methods to extract and analyze seismic signals due to resonance phenomena in an enclosed oil, gas, or water reservoir, due to either passive excitation by seismic background noise, or selective active applied excitation, locating thereby the presence of the reservoir by doing qualitative and quantitative estimates via forward modeling. Eight excitation steps are covered. Nine qualitative analysis steps are presented. Several specific techniques are used to relate the actual measurement with a numerical or theoretical model based on specific physical concepts, and so arriving at relevant conclusions about the reservoir. A qualitative survey method and a quantitative method based on a numerical modeling in conjunction with the Monte Carlo method are used to relate the oscillation characteristics to fluid properties. Differentiation between fluids is included. The uniqueness of these methods is that they are directly sensitive to the oil or gas itself, because the resonance effect is only present for a fluid. Gas bubbles can strongly influence results.

Inventor: BRETON-HALL MELISSA L
IPC: B67D7/80
Filed: 2009-08-20
Granted: 2014-04-03
Abstract: A drink dispenser includes a housing defining a chamber that contains a cooling fluid therein. A refrigeration unit is disposed within the housing. The refrigeration unit includes an evaporator coil extending into the cooling fluid such that a frozen cooling fluid bank forms about the evaporator coil. An agitator is disposed within the housing. The agitator extends into the cooling fluid for circulating the cooling fluid about the frozen cooling fluid bank. Dispensing valves mounted onto the housing dispense drinks from the drink dispenser.

Granted: 2016-01-28
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compounds and methods for the treatment of disorders associated with fluid retention or salt overload, such as heart failure (in particular, congestive heart failure), chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, liver disease, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonist-induced fluid retention. The present disclosure is also directed to compounds and methods for the treatment of hypertension. The present disclosure is also directed to compounds and methods for the treatment of gastrointestinal tract disorders, including the treatment or reduction of pain associated with gastrointestinal tract disorders. The methods generally comprise administering to a mammal in need thereof a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a compound, that is designed to be substantially active in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to inhibit NHE-mediated antiport of sodium ions and hydrogen ions therein. More particularly, the method comprises administering to a mammal in need thereof a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising such a compound, that inhibits NHE-3, -2 and/or -8 mediated antiport of sodium and/or hydrogen ions in the GI tract and is designed to be substantially impermeable to the layer of epithelial cells, or more specifically the epithelium of the GI tract. As a result of the compound being substantially impermeable, it is not absorbed and is thus essentially systemically non-bioavailable, so as to limit the exposure of other internal organs (e.g., liver, heart, brain, etc.) thereto. The present disclosure is still further directed to a method wherein a mammal is administered such a compound with a fluid-absorbing polymer, such that the combination acts as described above and further provides the ability to sequester fluid and/or salt present in the GI tract.
