Title: Biomechanical device for producing a biomass
Inventor: LORD JAMES H
IPC: A62D3/02
Filed: 2007-06-15
Abstract: A rotating drum is provided for the biological/mechanical conversion of organic waste material to a valuable biomass. An aerotolerant anaerobic bacteria within the rotating drum promotes the fermentation of the waste material, while the tumbling of the waste material due to the rotation of the drum mechanically shears the waste material. Air carrying volatile organic compounds released by the fermentation process can be collected from the drum and scrubbed to recover the volatile organic compounds. The cleansed air can then be recirculated back into the drum. The waste material can be screened prior to fermentation in the drum to remove a fraction of the smallest particles. The bitmass produced by the drum can also be screened.

The sulfur--oxidizing PGPR may be applied to seeds, seed pieces, carrier materials, roots and planting soil.
Patent CA-2597934-A1 (CA)
Title: Transformer core with magnetic screening
Inventor: PLOETNER CHRISTOPH
IPC: H01F27/36
Filed: 2006-02-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a transformer core comprising a core interior consisting of a magnetisable material. Magnetic leakage fluxes create eddy currents in the outer core regions, which lead to power losses and local overheating. Said leakage fluxes are channelled and conducted away from the outer region of the core interior by shielding, which partially encompasses the core interior and consists of at least one layered magnetisable material.  This permits the formation of eddy currents in the core interior to be significantly reduced and thus prevents local overheating of the transformer core and power losses.

Title: Acetic acid production methods incorporating at least one metal salt as a catalyst stabilizer
Inventor: TORRENCE G PAUL
IPC: C07C51/12
Filed: 2006-02-10
Abstract: Processes for the production of acetic acid by carbonylation of methanol, and reactive derivatives thereof, in a reaction mixture using a rhodium-based catalyst system with at least one metal salt catalyst stabilizer selected from the group of ruthenium salts, tin salts, and mixtures thereof are provided.  The metal salt stabilizers minimize precipitation of the rhodium metal during recovery of the acetic acid product, particularly in flasher units in an acetic acid recovery scheme. Stability of the rhodium metal is achieved even when the acetic acid is produced in low water content reaction mixtures in the presence of an iodide salt co-promoter at a concentration that generated an iodide ion concentration of greater than about 3 wt.% of the reaction mixture.  The stabilizing metal salts may be present in the reaction mixtures for the production of acetic acid at molar concentrations of metal to rhodium of about 0.1 :1 to about 20:1. The stabilizing metal salts may be combined with other catalyst stabilizers as well as catalyst promoters.

Abstract: A rotor sliding-vane machine comprises a rotor including working (1) and supporting parts (4) connected via force chambers (6) of variable length so that they rotate synchronously with a possibility of little reciprocal axial movements and tilts. The vanes (8) are located in vane chambers (7) of the working part (1) of the rotor and when the rotor is rotating they cyclically change the degree of protrusion into the annular groove (2) made on the face surface of the working part of the rotor. Between the supporting cover plate (5) of the housing and supporting part of the rotor there are supporting cavities hydraulically connected via the means of local pressures balancing to the force chambers of variable length and cavities of the working chamber in the annular groove of the working part of the rotor. Supporting cavities and force chambers of variable length are made so that pressure forces of the working fluid contained in the force chambers significantly balance pressure forces of the working fluid forcing out the working and supporting parts of the rotor from the working and supporting cover plates of the housing providing just a small tightening required for insulation.
