Inventor: BRONICKI LUCIEN
IPC: F03G1/00
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: A method for producing power, in accordance with the present invention, comprises the steps of: supplying clinker form cement production apparatus to a grate cooler for cooling the clinker; and extracting hot air from the grate cooler and supplying it to a filter e.g. an electrostatic precipitator or bag filter. When an electrostatic precipitator is used for extracting particulate matter from the hot air supplied from the grate cooler, the filtered air exiting the electrostatic precipitator is supplied to an air-heat transfer fluid heat- exchanger for heating the heat transfer fluid. A working fluid is vaporized using heat in the heated heat transfer fluid and vaporized working fluid and heat depleted heat transfer fluid is produced. Heat in the heat depleted heat transfer fluid is used to pre-heat working fluid while vaporized working fluid produced in the vaporizer is supplied to a turbine for producing power. Vaporized working fluid exiting the turbine is supplied to a working fluid condenser that condenses the vaporized working fluid exiting the turbine and produces working fluid condensate that is supplied to the vaporizer. Preferably, the method includes supplying the vaporized working fluid exiting the turbine to a recuperator that heats working fluid condensate supplied from the working fluid condenser prior to supplying the working fluid condensate to the vaporizer. Furthermore, preferably, the working fluid condensate is supplied to a pre-heater that preheats the working fluid condensate and produces preheated working fluid that is supplied to the vaporizer.

Title: Operating system for a dynamically re-configurable pc
Inventor: SALLAM HUSSEIN
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2001-07-31
Abstract: The invention is essentially a real time, event-driven operating system (OS) for use with a serial-based architecture computer. The OS is able to dynamically reconfigure itself in response to changes in the attached system components.  At boot time, changes can be made in the basic system components such as additional processors, memory modules, hard disks, etc. and the operating system is able to reconfigure itself in response. Additionally, while the computer is in the powered state, peripheral devices can be added and removed and the OS will, in real time, or near real time, sense the absence or presence of new devices and adjust accordingly. As a result the OS is more stable and flexible then current state-of-the-art OS's.

Patent CA-2365785-A1 (CA)
Title: Pyrolysis system
Inventor: WALKER JOHN
IPC: F23G5/40
Filed: 2001-12-19
Abstract: The PYROLYSIS system is developed to be a relatively compact and automatic conversion process of biomass into usable fuels. All components are tested and pre-assembled on a platform and ready to start operation upon delivery (using a standard highway truck-trailer). This automation and portability reduces transport and installation time which helps reduce costs. The system contains a pyrolysis reactor unit, which is smaller and more efficient than conventional reactors on competitive systems. The reactor's retention time is shorter and has fewer and lighter moving parts than conventional reactors of the same daily capacity. This efficiency is achieved by using a new design concept consisting of a rotating heated helix inside a stationary shell. Biomass is injected at one end into the reactor through a gas tight airlock to the inside of the chamber. It is then subjected to the indirect heating by this rotating heated helix that decomposes the biomass in the absence of air or oxygen into a biogas and charcoal.   The biomass is never burned but decomposed regardless of its origin. Biogas generated inside the reactor is extracted outside of the system to be used by itself, or in conjunction with any existing fuel system to produce electricity, as a heating source or both. Carbon residue is extracted through a gas tight airlock out of the reactor at the opposite end of the injection.
