Granted: 2016-04-05
Abstract: A method is described for controlling load variations in a gas turbine. The method comprises reducing the flow of gaseous fuel entering the combustor to a predefined minimum value, if an increase is observed in the rotation regime of said turbine above a predefined maximum value and a total reduction in the load, activating a selective feeding sequence of the burners if the turbine is operating in normal functioning or premixed flame mode, modifying the angulation of the adjustable stator vanes, in order to reduce the speed rate of the compressor, and opening one or more anti- surge valves and one or more overboard bleeds, in order to reduce the air flow at the inlet of the combustor.

Title: Modular vibratory floor
Inventor: PONCET JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: B65G65/44
Filed: 2006-05-12
Granted: 2012-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a vibratory floor consisting of independent vibratory modules that can be pre-fabricated and are strictly controlled before being put into place in structures for storage or transport of bulk products. Each vibratory module consists of a frame (14) in which a support material (12) is arranged, on which a metal sheet (9) is mounted, said metal sheet being attached to a vibratory element (10) and a stiffener (19) and held in place only by a peripheral sealing membrane (11), optionally supported by compression springs (13). The filling material can comprise ribs (30) for deforming the metal sheet in the form of transversal waves (31) under the effect of the weight of the stored product. The vibratory modules constructed in this way are dust-tight, do no transmit vibrations to the surrounding structure, and effectively drain any lumpy or powdery product from silos, ships, railroad cars, or other containers.

Abstract: The invention is a collapsible container for transporting fresh fish or the like, in particular ice-cooled goods or foodstuffs. This "fish crate" is essentially manufactured by means of plastic injection molding, i.e. by injection-molding the side walls and the base of the collapsible container using an injection-molding tool. In particular the four side walls are implemented to be double-walled, a closed air cushion being created by welding on a footing after the injection molding process. In the area of the slightly tray-shaped base, openings for the passage of liquid are provided; in particular, the melt water of the ice-cooled fresh fish is to be drained off to the outside. Besides these base openings, further additional openings which join the base and the side walls in a foldable manner may be provided in the area of the hinges.

Title: Vacuum generating device for sealing perishable products and method of use
Inventor: CAI EDWARD Z
IPC: B65D51/16
Filed: 2007-07-26
Granted: 2012-10-02
Abstract: A vacuum sealing device comprises a lid having a rigid rim with a lower opening for receiving a dish, an impermeable elastic membrane peripherally affixed to the rigid rim for sealing the dish, and a valve-less air evacuator formed between the elastic membrane and the dish rim which allows air to flow out of the dish when the lid is being pressed and becomes closed when the lid is released to cause said lid to rebound to form a vacuum in the dish. The rigid rim prevents lid deformation when the lid is pressed, thus enabling the vacuum formation. To facilitate lid removal, the device has a valve-less vacuum releaser comprising a finger-receiving chamber and a section of the elastic membrane located above the chamber and connected to the rigid rim for releasing the vacuum in the dish.

Abstract: A tampon having at least one physical discontinuity is provided. The physical discontinuity, or physical discontinuities, are located in the compressed absorbent member and may be made in the tampon pledget before the pledget is compressed into the absorbent member. The physical discontinuities partially isolate a portion, or portions, of the tampon from the rest of the tampon. The partial isolation of a portion of the tampon reduces the amount of menses absorbed by that portion, which could be transported to the rest of the tampon through wicking. The concentration of menses absorption in a portion allows that portion have a higher level of expansion than the rest of the tampon to prevent menses from leaking out of the vaginal opening.

Abstract: A bead crimping tool for crimping a bead element and method for use, wherein the tool includes a base handle, a crush plate member, a pair of opposed pincer members, an actuator handle, and a crush arm member. The bead element is placed on the crush plate and preferably secured in place by the crush arm. Crimping the bead includes squeezing of the actuator handle.  During a first portion of such actuation, a cam portion of the actuator handle cases the pincer members to impart a lateral com-pressive force to a lateral portion of the bead element sufficient to collapse the bead element in a lateral direction. During a subse-quent second portion of the single actuation cycle, the crush arm is caused to impart a longitudinal compressive force about a top portion of the bead element sufficient to compress the collapsed bead element in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract: This invention refers to a process for purifying sugar syrup, usually called liquid sugar, prepared with raw granulated cane sugar, in order to obtain a product called purified liquid sugar, with a degree of purity, referred to the content of ashes and color, similar or greater that the purity of a syrup prepared from refined granulated cane sugar, which is equivalent to a content of ICUMSA conductimetric ashes below 0.04% and a color of less than 45 ICUMSA units. The increase in direct reducing sugars content in the product is less than 0.2% with respect to the content of reducing sugars present in raw granulated cane sugar used as raw material for this process, and the pH is kept in the range of 6.0 to 7.5. The process consists of dissolving raw granulated sugar in order to obtain a syrup, filtering, primary bleaching by ion exchange with strong base anionic type resins, demineralizing and complementary bleaching by ion exchange with cationic- and anionic-type resins packed in a mixed bed column, polishing of the syrup by contact with an adsorbent powder material and filtering, and treatment with ultra violet rays.
