Inventor: JOSHI NARENDRA DATTATRAYA
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 1998-08-21
Abstract: There is suggested a method for the recovery of heat from products of
combustion (flue gases) of a fuel, at a higher temperature to another
fluid at a relatively lower temperature comprising the following steps:
   (i) increasing the velocity of the hot flue gases, from combustion
of a fuel, multifold than hitherto possible, by means of feeding
compressed air powered by a turbo charger/turbo compressor (6a) to
the fuel, in the burning stage;   (ii) subjecting the fuel cum high pressure air to a step of burning
in an enclosure (17);   (iii) adjusting the fuel burning rate vis-à-vis the
quantity/pressure of air to achieve steady state burning condition;   (iv) producing and maintaining a steady flame of dimensions (length
diameter) considerably smaller than hitherto possible in said burning
enclosure (17);   (v) recovering and indirectly transferring a small part of the heat
of combustion to a relatively colder external fluid held surrounding the
said burning enclosure;   (vi) passing the products of combustion through a first heat
exchanger (11);   (vii) recovering and indirectly transferring a major part of the
heat of the products of combustion, predominantly by convective heat
transfer in said first heat exchanger (11), to the external fluid, which
is the same said fluid which surrounds the burner enclosure (17) or is a
different fluid altogether;   (viii) passing the partly heat depleted flue gases coming out of
said first heat exchanger through a turbine (6b) of turbo charger/turbo
compressor and converting partial thermal energy content of flue gases
into mechanical energy in turbine of turbo charger/turbo compressor
which in turn is utilized to compress fresh air to high pressure in
compressor of turbo charger/turbo compressor (6a) mounted on the same
shaft of the turbine (6b) of turbo compressor to be used as combustion
air in the burner in applications specified thereof and then through a
second heat exchanger (12);   (ix) recovering and indirectly transferring further heat from and
said partly heat depleted flue gases in the second heat exchanger (12)
to the external fluid which is the same said fluid which surrounds the
burner enclosure (17) and first heat exchanger (11) or is a different
fluid altogether;   (x) recovering substantially all the remaining heat through said
second heat exchanger also through convective heat transfer and finally;   (xi) allowing all the heat depleted flue gases to pass to an
exhaust/stack (16).    
     A suitable system is also disclosed.

Abstract: The connection (6) fixes an air bag support (8) to a motor vehicle steering wheel (4). The connection enables movement of the air bag in two orthogonal directions, vertical and transverse to the plane perpendicular to the steering wheel axis. In this way it absorbs steering wheel vibrations and activates the horn by exerting on the air bag a force along the steering column axis (1). The connection has stiffeners in both of the orthogonal directions and has preferably an elliptical cross-section. Four elastic connections attach the airbag to the steering column.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de former un dispositif supraconducteur (232), faisant appel à une technique d'attaque sélective mise en oeuvre sur des couches minces supraconductrices. Ledit procédé consiste à effectuer une attaque rapide qui combine une implantation d'ions et une attaque chimique. Les parties de la couche supraconductrice à conserver sont protégées (215) contre le processus d'implantation d'ions (217). Par attaque chimique on enlève ensuite les parties avec implantation d'ions (225, 227) de la couche supraconductrice à une vitesse bien plus grande que celle nécessaire pour enlever les parties sans implantation d'ions (223), de sorte que seules ces parties sans implantation d'ions (223) sont conservées. Les dispositifs supraconducteurs obtenus peuvent être utilisés, par exemple, comme nanostructures et nanopointes, bolomètres, bobines RF multicouches, guides et filtres à micro-ondes.

Abstract: The write notification during copy system functions to enable the data processor to manage the data file copy function of a disk data storage subsystem in a manner that minimizes the expenditure of data processor resources. This is accomplished by the write notification during copy system determining the source volume on the data storage subsystem, the target volume on the data storage subsystem and identifying the extent of both. The write notification during copy system then transmits data to the data storage subsystem, representative of the assignment of DASD full tracks from the source location on the data storage subsystem as well as DASD full tracks from the target location on the data storage subsystem. The data processor based write notification during copy system then uses ECAM channel programs to instruct the data storage subsystem to perform the data file copy operation using snapshot track pointer copy operations. Upon conclusion of the data file copy operation by the data storage subsystem, the write notification during copy system updates the meta data required to complete the data file copy operation and indicates whether the copy completed with/without any conflicting write operation against the source or target.
