Granted: 2008-04-29
Abstract: In a method for forming a carbon nanotube (5) on an electroconductive member (2), a catalytic layer (3) including a metal or alloy that serves as a catalyst for growing the carbon nanotube is formed on an electroconductive member, the metal or alloy of the catalytic layer is processed so as to turn it into small particles (3a) by heating the catalytic layer formed on the electroconductive member to a prescribed temperature while supplying inert gas, and a carbon nanotube is grown on the electroconductive member by using the small particles of the metal or alloy of the catalytic layer as a catalyst. The fine metallic particles that can be used as a catalyst for growing the carbon nanotube can be prepared in a simple, economical and efficient manner. The carbon nanotube is highly suitable for use as the diffusion layer of a fuel cell.

Title: Apparatus and method for the production of cement clinker
Inventor: ERPELDING RICHARD
IPC: C04B7/43
Filed: 2005-02-21
Granted: 2011-05-24
Abstract: Disclosed are an installation and a method for producing cement clinker, in which raw meal is preheated in a heat exchanger and is burned in a furnace so as to obtain clinker. The exhaust gases of the furnace successively penetrate the heat exchanger and a catalytic converter. The exhaust gases are analyzed upstream and/or downstream of the catalytic converter while the preheated raw meal is precalcined in a calcinator. Providing a calcinator has the additional advantage for the subsequent catalytic exhaust gas purification process of creating greater exhaust gas temperatures such that the reactions occurring in the catalytic converter take place at a faster pace and thus at a greater throughput, thereby allowing the required volume for the catalytic converter to be decreased and thus the capital expenditures to be reduced.

In one preferred method of use, a graft ligament is looped through the graft hole in the graft ligament support block, and the graft ligament support block is mounted to the installation tool. Then the installation tool is used to advance the graft ligament support block into the bone tunnel, with the two free ends of the looped graft ligament extending back out the bone tunnel. Next, a transverse tunnel is formed in the host bone, with the transverse tunnel being aligned with the transverse fixation pin hole in the graft ligament support block. Then the graft ligament support block is secured in place by pinning the graft ligament support block within the tunnel, i.e., by advancing a transverse fixation pin along the transverse tunnel in the host bone and into the transverse fixation pin hole in the graft ligament support block. Then the installation tool is detached from the graft ligament support block, and the installation tool is withdrawn from the surgical site.
