Title: Calorimeter for fluid flows and a device for monitoring the operation of thermalsolar installations
Inventor: BOHRINGER VOLKER
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 1998-04-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the operation of thermal solar installations. The energy supplied to a consumer and determined according to the inventive calorimetric method is compared to the energy which must be supplied per charge cycle to the heat consumer as a function of the internal energy of the energy collector, the connecting lines and the heat exchanger. The amount of heat conveyed is determined by electronic iteration of a volumetric flow rate, which is allocated to the running time of the feed device. Said flow rate is determined as a volume of a measuring section and divided by the duration of a temperature slope of said measuring section. Said allocation can also occur using signals of a volumetric flow rate sensor.
Patent AU-8419782-A (AU)
Title: Gasification process
Inventor: HELLESTAM CARL-JOHAN SIGVARD
IPC: C21B3/04
Filed: 1982-05-26
Abstract: In the manufacture of fuel gas or synthesis gas by partially combusting carbonaceous fuel, preferably solid carbonaceous fuel having a high content of non-combustible constituents, finely divided fuel is injected into a shaft-like reactor chamber (10) and is combusted partially while moving down through the reactor chamber, to form a fuel gas or synthesis gas which is removed from the reactor chamber at the upper part (12) thereof, while simultaneously melting non-combustible constituents of the fuel, the resultant melt being taken out of the reactor chamber at the bottom part (13) thereof. A layer (32) of molten material which covers the wall (11) of the reactor chamber and moves downwardly along the wall is sustained by maintaining a selected temperature for substantially instantaneous melting of the non-combustible constituents of the fuel, and by selecting the directions in which the fuel is injected into the reactor chamber so that at least a substantial part of the fuel or the non-combustible constituents contained therein is brought into contact with the wall (11) of the reactor chamber or the layer (32) on said wall during movement down through the shaft. The wall of the reactor chamber is kept cooled in order to maintain thereon, between the wall and the molten layer (32), a frozen coating (33) formed by the non-combustible constituents of the fuel and protecting against slag attack and overheating.
Patent AU-8540291-A (AU)
Title: Powder inhaler
Inventor: PRITCHARD JOHN NIGEL
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1991-09-30
Abstract: A dry powder inhaler (10) consists of a chamber (12) into which powder is introduced from a metering system, and a mouthpiece (26) through which a patient inhales, connected by a duct (16), so that air flows through the chamber carrying the powder into the patient's lungs. Within the duct is an impactor (25) consisting of a plate (27) spaced in front of a similarly sized aperture, and between the chamber and the impactor plate is an orifice (18) narrower than the duct, so the air stream is diverted along S-shaped paths to avoid the plate. The presence of the impactor can improve the efficiency of delivery of a drug to the lungs, and decrease the unwanted dose to the mouth and throat, as the latter is principally due to agglomerates or larger particles which are intercepted or broken up by the impactor.

Title: Methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes
Inventor: BAEKKESKOV STEINUNN
IPC: A61K35/17
Filed: 1991-09-06
Abstract: Assays for the detection of diabetes and prediabetic status rely on exposing patient serum samples to purified ligand capable of binding autoantibodies specific for a 64kD autoantigen present on pancreatic β-cells. The purified ligand is usually purified glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) or a fragment or analog thereof. Preferably, the assays will detect the presence of antibodies to both lower molecular weight GAD and higher molecular weight GAD since diabetic and prediabetic status may be associated with only one of these two forms. The assays can be performed using conventional protocols, such as radioimmunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and enzyme assay. Methods for treating diabetes comprise administering pharmaceutical compositions including the purified ligand, particularly when coupled to an immunoglobulin or lymphoid cell to induce tolerance. Alternatively, tolerance may be induced by administering attenuated T-helper cells, or isolated T-cell receptors, where the T-helper cells have been isolated based on their reactivity with GAD or equivalent ligand.

Date Apr. 30, 1992.A method relating to the production of cast iron castings with compacted graphite crystals. The method comprises controlling and correcting the composition of the cast iron melt and securing the necessary amount of structure modifying agent. A sample of the melt is taken with a sample vessel provided with two thermocouples, one positioned so as to be in the centre of the sample and the other positioned so as to be in the vicinity of the vessel wall. The vessel wall contains or is coated with a layer of a substance which will lower the concentration of dissolved elementary magnesium in the melt in the vicinity of the vessel wall by at least 0.0030%. The temperature/time values obtained through two temperature responsive means are recorded. The occurrence of a plateau temperature will provide information as to the precipitation of flaky graphite in the vicinity of the vessel wall, therewith enabling corrections to be made to the concentration of the modifying agent and to ensure the formation of compacted graphite crystal during the whole of the pouring time required in the foundry process concerned.
