Title: Low emission power plant and method of making same
Inventor: GREEN EDWARD
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 1997-08-22
Granted: 2001-10-18
Abstract: A low emission power generating apparatus which comprises a modified two-stroke diesel engine component and a modified turbocharger component which has a relatively low aspect ratio. The diesel engine component is a modification of a conventional two-stroke diesel engine design and includes an exhaust valve cam of unique design that has a cam profile which results in a later-than-normal exhaust valve opening and an earlier-than-normal valve closing so that the time during which the exhaust valve remains open is shorter than normal, thereby causing a substantially greater volume of residual gases to remain in the combustion chamber following the scavenge stroke. This increase in the volume of the residual exhaust gases within the chamber leads to an increase in compression temperature and effectively increases the compression ratio and consequently the compression pressure. Because of the heat absorption capacity of these residual exhaust gases, the exhaust gases remaining in the chamber following the scavenge stroke tend to absorb combustion heat and thereby effectively reduce the peak combustion temperature. This reduction in peak combustion temperature advantageously results in the lower than normal production of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and, therefore, allows advancement of the injection timing, while still maintaining the NOx emissions coming from the engine lower than those legislatively mandated.

Title: Test carrier for the analytical investigation of a sample liquid with the help of a specific binding reaction of two bioaffine binding partners and a corresponding test process
Inventor: SCHLIPFENBACHER REINER
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 1989-12-11
Granted: 1991-10-24
Abstract: The reaction is preferably an antibody-antigen reaction. On a base layer (2) there are test zones (21 to 25) which have capillary activity and are arranged side by side and form a liquid transport distance (30) along which a liquid flows, driven by capillary forces. During this, a specific detection reaction takes place and leads to a species characteristic for the required analysis, and this species is detected in a detection zone (26). In order to provide a test strip which is easy to handle and can be produced at low cost and has a start zone which needs to be only briefly immersed in the sample and then gradually releases the absorbed sample liquid in such a way that the successive zones which form the actual functioning region of the test strip are adequately and reproducibly supplied with liquid, it is proposed that the start zone (21) be composed of a non-swelling bonded fabric with a water-insoluble binder. <IMAGE>
