Abstract: A quick coupling conceived for conduits under pressure comprise a latch which permits the disengagement of a male portion (10) from a female portion (1, 3) in two phases.      During the first phase the male portion (10) retracts a controlled distance from its fully engaged position and arrives in an intermediary position in which the valve (5) of the female portion (1, 3) is closed. It further comprises openings (27, 28, 29) for the escape of the fluid under pressure, which openings are situated downstream from the valve (5) and this openings are opened during the said first phase of disengagement.      In the final phase, the male portion (10) is completely disengaged from the female portion.   The controlled disengagement in two phases is effectuated by the cooperation of a latch comprising two actually distance teeth which are positioned in a manner as to oppose each other with respect to the circumferential surface of the male portion in order to alternatively engage of disengage a projection-groove (14) of the male portion.      The control disengagement in two phases avoids a shock which will otherwise be produced during uncontrolled disengagement of the two portions of a coupling in a circuit under pressure.

Abstract: The unit is connected between a user's telephone and a telephone exchange providing calling party identification, such as calling number or name. The unit has user accessible audio inputs, either a microphone or an interface to a handset of the telephone. The unit also has audio message memory, a user programmable table of concordance for tracking the location of audio messages, a record/playback device, a speaker, and a controller. The unit may also have a visual display. Control keys may be connected to the controller, however their function may also be performed by using a keypad of the telephone. A speech generator may also be connected to the controller and to the speaker. In operation, the unit has programming, review, and monitoring modes. In the monitoring mode, the unit recognizes the number of a calling party (decoded from calling number delivery, call display or similar network-to-terminal signals on phone lines) by reviewing the table of concordance, finds the appropriate message for that number and plays aloud the message stored for that calling party's number either through the speaker or the handset. The unit also stores information about the call for later recovery, possibly from a remote location. In programming mode, the control keys are used to prepare the unit to receive audio messages from the microphone or handset. The unit stores the messages and programs the table of concordance.

Title: Process for generating burnable gas
Inventor: WOLF BODO
IPC: C10J3/66
Filed: 1995-02-08
Granted: 2005-12-27
Abstract: A process is disclosed for generating burnable gas by gasifying water- and ballast-containing organic materials, be it coal or garbage. The drying, low temperature carbonisation and gasification steps are carried out separately. The heat taken from cooled gasified gas is supplied to the endothermic drying and low temperature carbonisation stages. The low temperature carbonisation gas is burned in a melting chamber furnace with air and/or oxygen or oxygen-rich flue gas and the liquid slag is evacuated, whereas the low temperature carbonisation coke is blown into the hot combustion gases that leave the melting chamber furnace at a temperature from 1200 to 2000 .degree.C. The endothermic reactions which take place and give carbon monoxide and hydrogen reduce the gasification temperature to 800-900.degree.C. Unnecessary or insufficiently reactive carbon is removed from the gasification gas, supplied to the melting chamber furnace and completely burned. The advantage of the invention is that the ashes may be transformed in to an elution-resistant granulated building material, in that a tar-free burnable gas is generated and in that oxygen consumption is strongly reduced in comparison with the fly stream gasification process.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système permettant d'induire la stérilité mâle cytoplasmique (cms) dans les plantes, reposant sur la modification des génomes plastidiques et comportant trois transgènes: un gène plastidique de stérilité mâle, pms régulé par un gène nucléaire de stérilité mâle nms, et un rétablisseur de fertilité mâle rmf. Le gène pms est soit un gène inactif codant pour un produit génique toxique, soit un gène d'expression active codant pour un produit génique essentiel. Le gène nms, qui est régulé par un promoteur spécifique de l'anthère, code pour un polypeptide à ciblage plastidique qui régule le gène pms soit en activant l'expression du gène pms toxique inactif, soit en contrariant l'expression du gène pms essentiel, ce qui entraîne l'incapacité plastidique et cellulaire ou la mort des tissus anthériques, empêchant, par là, la formation de pollen viable. Le gène rmf code pour un produit génique qui empêche le gène nms de réguler le gène pms. Les plantes à stérilisation mâle cytoplasmique s'obtiennent par le croisement d'une lignée parentale porteuse du gène pms avec une lignée parentale porteuse du gène nms. Les semences d'hybrides à fertilité mâle s'obtiennent par des croisements entre les plantes à stérilisation mâle cytoplasmique et une deuxième lignée parentale porteuse du gène rmf.
