Patent EP-1329417-A1 (EP)
Inventor: UKAI KUNIHIRO
IPC: B01J23/63
Filed: 2001-09-26
Abstract: Since carbon monoxide is generated as subcomponent
in a water vapor reforming reaction, in many cases, a
shifter for conducting a shift reaction on water and carbon
monoxide is used in combination. Generally, in the case
of a stable operation, a concentration of carbon monoxide
hardly increases. However, when using conditions of a
catalyst are changed due to external factors in the shifter,
a concentration of carbon monoxide increases. 
     A device includes a reformer 1 containing carbon
monoxide and water vapor, and a shifter 3 having a shift
catalyst body 3a, and the device supplies hydrogen gas
to the shifter from a gas supply part 1. In the above
device, carbon monoxide concentration detection means
6 is provided at an exit of hydrogen gas of the shifter. 
     When a concentration of carbon monoxide that is detected
by the carbon monoxide concentration detection means is
larger than a set value, a quantity of water vapor is
increased in the gas supply part 1.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to simplify the
configuration of an optical system for recording or
reproduction without causing a reduction in the amount of
information. For recording, a spatial light modulator (27)
generates information light by spatially modulating light
according to information to be recorded. The information light
is collected by an objective lens (21) and applied to an
optical information recording medium (1) while converging to
become minimum in diameter on the interface between a
transparent substrate (2) and a protective layer (5).
Recording-specific reference light is collected by an
objective lens (31) and applied to the optical information
recording medium (1) while converging to become minimum in
diameter on the interface between the transparent substrate
(2) and the protective layer (5). In an information recording
layer (3), the information light and the recording-specific
reference light interfere with each other to form an
interference pattern. This interference pattern is
volumetrically recorded in the information recording layer (3).

Title: Device for detecting positions and movements of a brake pedal for a vehicle brake system
Inventor: MUELLER JENS HAUKE
IPC: B60T7/04
Filed: 2001-11-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting the pedal travel of a brake pedal for a vehicle brake system. To this end, a magnetic element (26) disposed on a piston (6) in the interior of the housing (10) of the brake cylinder (2) interacts with a sensor element (38) disposed on the exterior of the brake cylinder to detect positions and movements of the piston (6). Since the positions and movements of the piston (6) that is linked with the magnetic element (26) directly correspond to the positions and movements of a brake pedal rigidly and directly linked therewith or characterize them when the brake pedal is indirectly linked therewith, the positions and movements that are detected for the piston (6) can be used to infer the pedal travel of the brake pedal therefrom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of plants with suppressed photorespiration
and improved CO 2  fixation. In particular, the invention relates to a re-use
of phosphoglycolate produced in photorespiration. The reaction product will be
converted to a component that may be reintegrated into the plant assimilatory
metabolism inside the chloroplast. This is accomplished by the transfer of genes
derived from glycolate-utilizing pathways from bacteria, algae, plants and/or animals
including humans into the plant nuclear and/or plastidial genome. The method of the
invention leads to a reduction of photorespiration in C 3  plants and by this will be of
great benefit for food production especially but not exclusively under non-favourable
growth conditions.
