Abstract: Lors de son utilisation, la cartouche étanche (1), contenant une dose de substance destinée à la préparation d'une boisson, par dissolution ou extraction par un liquide, est placée dans une pièce collectrice de liquide constitué par un godet tronconique (9). L'ensemble ainsi formé est placé dans un logement (21) d'une "cuillière" de machine à café. Le sommet de la cartouche (1) est perforé par une pièce perforatrice et injectrice qui injecte un liquide sous pression dans la cartouche (1). La membrane inférieure (2) de la cartouche se déforme sous l'effet de la pression ainsi engendrée et elle est pressée contre des pointes perforatrices (13) du fond du godet (9).

Abstract: This actuator serves to rotate a machine part in two directions of rotation through an angle of about 180 DEG . For this purpose, the movable actuating elements of two pressure units are connected to one another via a flexible tension element which is in drive engagement with the machine part. In this arrangement, during the rotation of the machine part in the one direction, a control device activates the first pressure unit for extension of its movable actuating element and activates the second pressure unit for retraction of its movable pressure element, whereas opposite activation of the actuating elements of both pressure units is effected for rotation of the machine part in the opposite direction. Provision is thus made for complete synchronism of the actuating elements. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0553520-A1 (EP)
Inventor: COTTRELL PAUL R
IPC: B01J23/96
Filed: 1992-01-28
Abstract: A high severity process for the dehydrogenation of a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of propane and butane in the presence of a catalyst comprising platinum and a non-acidic carrier material is substantially improved by periodically reconditioning the resulting coke-deactivated catalyst particles containing platinum by moving the catalyst particles through a combustion zone, a drying zon, a re-dispersion zone and a reduction zone. Drying of the catalyst particles immediately after the combustion of coke substantially improves the operation of a platinum re-dispersion zone. The lower moisture content in the re-dispersion zone allows the equilibrium reaction between hydrogen chloride and oxygen on the one hand, and water and chlorine on the other hand to be shifted to the production of chlorine. This shift of the equilibrium reaction can be further improved by maintaining an oxygen-enriched environment within the platinum re-dispersion zone. The use of a much lower chloride concentration in the re-dispersion zone reduces the emissions of hydrogen chloride from the regeneration zone.

Abstract: A semiconductor sensor has a plurality of field-effect transistors (2a....2n) disposed on a semiconductor substrate (4) at spaced intervals. The field-effect transistors have respective drains (D) electrically connected parallel to each other, respective sources (S) electrically connected parallel to each other, and gates (G) electrically connected to each other. While a gate bias voltage (VG) is being applied to each of the field-effect transistors, a stress applied to the semiconductor substrate is detected based on a change in a combined output of the field-effect transistors. A single comb-shaped field-effect transistor may be employed instead of the plurality of field-effect transistors.

Abstract: A swirl vane (W) is disclosed for addition to a spring metal grid spacer utilized with a conventional nuclear boiling water nuclear reactor. The spring metal spacer includes a matrix of fuel rod containing cells( C₁)-(C₄). Each cell has at least one spring leg and at least two fuel rod encircling arms. The spring leg functions to bias a fuel rod contained within the cell (C) at the spacer to one side of the cell. The two rod encircling arms define stops against which the fuel rods are biased. The cells themselves are welded into a unitary matrix and preferably surrounded by a metallic band. The improved swirl vane of this invention includes an "I" shaped spring steel strip. This strip includes top and bottom tabs for engaging the respective top and bottom grid structure of the spacer. The "I" shaped strip is then twisted to provide the swirl vane surface, this twisting being preferably slightly less than or greater than the total twisting required. Thereafter, the band is inserted to the grid and the twist used to wedge the band in place until welding has been utilized to secure the vane in place. In an alternate embodiment a row of swirl vanes is formed from a long strip so that the swirl vanes are joined at one end. Rows of swirl vanes are inserted into the spacer as units.

Abstract: The antenna choke is used to reduce the choke of current which mutually couples adjacent array sections. In order to simplify manufacture, a single channel (6) is machined between each row of array sections (2,4), the channel effectively reduces the ground plane current between the various sections.
