Abstract: Nitrogen is removed from the waste gases from garbage incineration plant by the addition or generation of a reducing agent, e.g. ammonia, in the 2nd stage (2) of the 2 stage incineration process. The ammonia containing waste gases are cooled (4) and a reducing agent, for example more ammonia, is added (14) to them before they are passed over a catalyst (7) which reduces any remaining nitrogen oxide.

Abstract: Bus performance in a computer system having multiple devices 102, 104, 106 accessing a common shared bus 132 may be improved by increasing throughput and decreasing latency while accounting for dynamic changes in bus usage. Devices submit a priority level along with a bus request to a bus controller 120. Upon receiving multiple requests, an arbiter of the bus controller 130 compares the priority levels associated with the different bus requests and grants control of the bus to the device having the highest priority level. During each cycle that a device has control of the bus, a feedback logic circuit of the bus controller determines whether other bus requests are pending, and if so, determines the highest pending request priority level. Signals corresponding to the results of these determinations are fed back to each device. The device having control of the bus uses the combination of the currently pending request priority level and the device's own latency timer 102a, 104a, 106a to determine whether it should maintain control of the bus or relinquish control of the bus. If the latency timer of the device has not expired, the device will continue to control the bus even if the currently pending request priority level is greater than the device's priority level. If the currently pending request priority level is not greater than the device's own priority level, the device will continue to control the bus even after the device's latency timer has expired until the device no longer needs the bus. Finally, if the currently pending request priority level is greater than the device's own priority level and the device's latency timer has expired, the device will relinquish control of the bus. As such, the latency timer of a device is dynamically extended after expiration as long as the device has a priority level at least as great as the currently pending request priority. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The tibia component for an endo-joint prosthesis comprises a metallic first part (1) with one level< >(11), for anchoring in the bone, and a plastic second part containing a sliding surface (3) of the endo-joint prosthesis with a level (12) which can be placed on the level (11) of the first part (1) without any play in relation to said level (11). The second part (2) has a pin (4) which extends vertically in relation to the level (12) and which has a radially compressible swollen section (9) extending around its periphery. The first part (1) has a bore (5) which extends vertically in relation to the level (11) and which has an undercut (10). When the pin (4) is inserted into the corresponding bore (5), the swollen section (9) is compressed and then expands in the undercut (10), hereby blocking the pin (4) in the bore (5). The swollen section (9) and the undercut (10) are arranged in such a way that when the pin is blocked, both parts (1; 2) are also free of vertical play in relation to the levels (11; 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of holding auctions which take place in a computer environment, where a plurality of sellers (8) and bidders (3) may submit bids from local computers to a central computer (1), a so-called server which may e.g. be coupled via the Internet. The server (1) may offer a catalogue (5) to the indivudual bidders (3) who can then prepare, via their own computers, a prioritized list of the articles which they may possibly desire to buy. The auctioning system incorporates the certainty, via a list of purchase conditions, that a bidder does not risk buying too many articles, or that he will not spend too much money, in the same manner as is known from a traditional live auction. It is moreover noted that the auctioning system may be combined with an ordinary live auction. The auctioning form gives a very advantageous price formation which considers both sellers' and buyers' interests. Furthermore, the auction may take place entirely without geographical limitations.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape d'injection pour système d'injection de carburant, qui présente, pour la modification étagée de la section active d'une ouverture d'injection, un système ressorts/butées comportant un premier ressort de pression (10) destiné à une soupape de commande (4) affectée à une chambre de commande (12), dont la pression définit la position de la tige (2) d'un obturateur de soupape d'injection (1). Le système ressorts/butées permet, lors de l'ouverture de la soupape de commande (4), un premier déplacement axial (46) du poussoir (5) de cette soupape, déplacement axial qui est limité par une butée primaire (37) située sur une pièce intermédiaire (30) pouvant se déplacer axialement. La mobilité axiale de la pièce intermédiaire (30) permet audit poussoir (5) d'effectuer un second déplacement axial (47) supplémentaire, à l'encontre de la force de pression d'un second ressort de pression (31), ce second déplacement axial étant limité par une butée d'extrémité (39) solidaire du corps de soupape. Le poussoir (5) est sollicité dans le sens de fermeture de la soupape de commande (4) par le premier ressort de pression (10) qui est tendu contre le corps (9) de la soupape d'injection. Lorsque la soupape de commande (4) est à l'état fermé, la force du premier ressort de pression (10) est plus faible que celle du second ressort de pression (31). Une telle soupape de commande peut être utilisée dans des injecteurs à rampe commune.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une technique d'examen optique selon laquelle on utilise un système optique (15, 45, 100, 150, 200, 260 ou 300) pour effectuer un examen transcranien non invasif in vivo du tissu cérébral d'un sujet. Ledit système optique comprend un module optique (12 ou 14) conçu pour être placé sur la surface extérieure de la tête, un contrôleur et un processeur. Le module optique comprend un ensemble de ports d'entrée optiques et de ports de détection optiques situés selon un motif géométrique sélectionné de manière à créer une multiplicité de chemins de migration de photons à l'intérieur du tissu biologique. Chaque port d'entrée optique est construit de manière qu'il introduise dans le tissu examiné, de la lumière visible ou infrarouge provenant d'une source de lumière. Chaque port de détection optique est construit de manière qu'il transmette la lumière en provenance du tissu à un détecteur de lumière. Le contrôleur est construit et conçu pour activer au moins une source de lumière et un détecteur de lumière, de sorte que le détecteur de lumière détecte la lumière qui s'est déplacée en suivant l'un au moins des chemins de migration de photons. Le processeur reçoit des signaux correspondant à la lumière détectée et crée au moins deux séries de données dont la première représente le volume sanguin de la région de tissu examiné et dont la seconde représente l'oxygénation sanguine de la région de tissu examiné. Le processeur est conçu pour mettre en corrélation la première et la seconde série de données, ce qui permet de détecter un tissu anormal dans le tissu examiné.

Abstract: A heating and incineration device includes a heating chamber for being connected to a heating application. A process stream is recirculated between the heating chamber and the heating application. An incineration tube is positioned into the heating chamber for providing the only exit for gases from the heating chamber and the heating application. A heat source is positioned within the heating chamber in spaced coaxial relation with an incineration tube inlet. The process stream is heated to a working temperature when it is passed through the heating chamber around the periphery of the heat source. The heat source is directed at the incineration tube inlet, so that the highest temperature inside the heating chamber is concentrated along an axis between the heat source and the incineration tube inlet. The distance between the incineration tube inlet and the heat source is adjustable for controlling the temperature inside the incineration tube. Pollutants in the exhaust gases flowing out through the incineration tube are incinerated by the very high temperature inside the tube. Energy efficiency is thus significantly increased by recirculating the process stream, by exhausting a small amount of gases, and by heating the process stream and incinerating pollutants with a single heat source.
