Patent EP-0752264-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HEDBERG SOEREN
IPC: B01D53/64
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: In a method for purification of flue gases from a combustion installation the flue gases are first sucked from the installation and through a liquid, and are then pressed through a liquid, whereby the purified flue gases are fed out into the surroundings. During the transfer the flue gases are split up into as small units as possible in order to provide the best possible contact with the fluid. The method is carried out by means of a flue gas purifier (5) comprising a container (6), which contains a fluid, preferably water, and which is partitioned into chambers (18 - 24). One set of chambers (18 - 21) forms a suction compartment (A) and another set of chambers (22 - 24) forms a pressure compartment (B). Walls (12, 14, 16) forming partitions between the chambers force the flue gases to alternately pass through the fluid and above the fluid. A pump (26) sucks the flue gases through the suction compartment (A) and presses these through the pressure compartment (B). The walls (12, 14, 16) are at least partly provided with slits, through which the flue gases are made to pass thereby being subdivided into a plurality of flows, and the outlet (28) of the pump (26) ends in a spray nozzle immersed in the fluid. The first chamber (18) in the suction compartment (A) in the flow direction of the flue gases is provided with an inlet (25) for the flue gases from the installation, and the last chamber in the pressure compartment (B) is provided with an outlet (29) for purified flue gases.

Abstract: In an oscillator arrangement (VCXO), an oscillation loop (OSL) oscillates at, approximately, the fundamental frequency of a crystal (XTL) included therein. The output signal (Sosc) of the oscillator arrangement (VCXO) is a harmonic extracted from the oscillation loop (OSL). To vary the frequency of the output signal (Sosc), tuning means (VAR) are included in the oscillation loop (OSL). A stage (FIL) in the oscillator arrangement (VCXO) prevents harmonic feedback into the oscillation loop (OSL). Such an oscillator arrangement (VCXO) can be tuned over a relatively large frequency range and has a monotonous tuning characteristic.

Abstract: A method of removing a carbon-contaminated layer from a silicon substrate surface before a silicon epitaxial growth on the silicon substrate surface is provided. A carbon-contaminated layer on the silicon substrate is exposed surface to a chlorine radical to cause a chemical reaction of the chlorine radical with carbon atoms of the carbon-contaminated layer to generate chlorine carbide to form chlorine carbide for removal of the carbon-contaminated layer from the silicon substrate surface, wherein the chlorine radical has been generated by passing a chlorine gas through a filament heated up so that the chlorine radical is generated at a much higher generation efficiency than when the chlorine radical were generated by using a deep ultraviolet ray. This means that the use of the filament for generating the chlorine radical at the higher generation efficiency results in a larger amount of the chlorine radical to be irradiated onto the carbon-contaminated layer and then reacted with carbon atoms to generate chlorine carbide at a higher efficiency whereby carbon on the silicon substrate surface or the carbon-contaminated layer may be removed therefrom at a higher efficiency. The epitaxial growth of the silicon layer on the carbon-free or carbon pile-up free silicon substrate surface results in the epitaxial silicon layer having a high crystal quality or crystal perfection.

Abstract: A thin film magnetic transducer employs a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensing element operating in a (CPP) current-perpendicular-to-the-plane mode. Electrical lead members (12a, 12b) in electric contact with the sensing element provide for the flow of sensor current through the giant magnetoresistive element (14). The height, or both the height and the width, of the GMR sensing element are greater than the height, or both the height and width respectively, of the lead members (12a, 12b), thereby resulting in an increased output signal from the transducer.

Abstract: A method of introducing insulating material or other air-entrainable material into an open recess or channel e.g. in a panel frame 59, includes applying to said recess or channel a filling head means 54 having a cover plate means 74 associated therewith, thereby temporarily to cover said recess locally to define a local cavity. A blown mixture of air and insulating material or other air-entrainable material is introduced into the cavity from the filling head means whilst leakage of the insulating material or other air-entrainable material is prevented. This is typically achieved by providing an extended cover plate such that the accumulated friction between the air-entrainable material and the cover plate and the walls of the recess is sufficient to prevent or substantially reduce leakage. The recess or channel is caused to move relative to said filling head means 54, progressively to fill said recess or channel.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de mouvement passif destiné à exercer les articulations d'un patient. Le dispositif comprend une partie en mousse souple ainsi qu'une enveloppe renfermant la partie en mousse à l'intérieur d'une chambre hermétique. Les articulations du patient sont maintenues dans une position donnée par rapport à la chambre hermétique au moyen d'un élément de retenue approprié. Une pompe à vide est reliée fonctionnellement à la chambre hermétique afin de permettre l'application et la non application sélective d'une pression réduite, c'est-à-dire inférieure à la pression atmosphérique, sur la chambre hermétique. L'application de la pression réduite provoque l'abaissement de la partie en mousse exerçant ainsi une force sur l'articulation, ce qui fait bouger ou s'incurver l'articulation à partir d'une position prédéterminée. La non-application de la pression réduite à la chambre hermétique provoque la dilatation de la partie en mousse, exerçant ainsi une force sur l'articulation ce qui fait bouger ou s'incurver l'articulation vers la position prédéterminée.

Abstract: Un téléphone cellulaire d'urgence comporte une minuterie de faible puissance qui est alimentée en énergie directement à partir de la batterie et fonctionne de manière continue. La minuterie procède régulièrement à des essais de batterie et, si nécessaire émet des avertissements de décharge, alors que le téléphone se trouve à l'état d'arrêt. La minuterie 'réveille' (alimente en énergie) le téléphone à intervalle préétabli (par exemple, une fois par jour ou une fois par semaine). Après chaque 'réveil' commandé par la minuterie, l'unité de traitement effectue un essai pour évaluer la capacité restante de la batterie (par mesure de la tension de la batterie associée à une charge ou autres techniques classiques de contrôle de charge de batterie). Si la capacité restante de batterie est suffisante, l'unité de traitement du téléphone s'arrête et la minuterie redémarre. Si la capacité restante de la batterie est faible, un signal d'avertissement est émis. L'avertissement de décharge de batterie peut prendre des formes classiques, du type avertissement oral ou sonore émis par le téléphone. Cet avertissement peut également peut également se faire par l'intermédiaire d'un appel automatique du téléphone sans fil à destination d'un numéro préétabli qui est chargé dans le téléphone par l'utilisateur ou par l'entreprise de télécommunications, au moyen du clavier et/ou d'un connecteur du système. Le numéro appelé peut être le numéro du téléphone filaire de l'utilisateur, un autre numéro cellulaire ou un numéro de l'entreprise de télécommunications. Cet avertissement transmis par l'appel téléphonique peut être constitué de tonalités à fréquence acoustique, de combinaison de tonalités, d'un message vocal synthétisé ou de données.
