Patent EP-1900261-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VERBRUGH STEFAN MARCUS
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2006-03-22
Abstract: A system (120) and/or corresponding method introduces a minor change to a given set of parameters (110) that affect an ambiance (130) associated with an environment, and collects the user's response to the change. Based on the user's response, the system learns which changes to which parameters lead to an improved effect. By repeating the change-feedback sessions, the system approaches an optimal setting for achieving the desired ambiance in the given environment. Preferably, the change-feedback session is non-obtrusive, and occurs, for example, each time a light is turned on, and the feedback is collected when the light is turned off, using a multiple switch arrangement. If the light is turned off using one switch, the feedback is positive; if the light is turned off using an alternative switch, the feedback is negative. Alternatively, the system can be placed in a rapid-learning mode, wherein the change-feedback cycles occur more frequently.

Abstract: A thermostatic expansion valve 3 is applied to a refrigeration cycle having an internal heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange between high-temperature refrigerant flowing from a condenser 2 to the expansion valve 3 and low-temperature refrigerant flowing from an evaporator 4 2 via the expansion valve 3 to a compressor. The expansion valve 3 comprises a bypass passage 3a or 3b for guiding refrigerant either from a high-pressure refrigerant inlet or a low-pressure refrigerant outlet to the downstream side of a temperature-sensing section, such that moist refrigerant is mixed with refrigerant whose degree of superheat is controlled by the expansion valve 3. This lowers the temperature of refrigerant that is drawn into the compressor 1.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un évent d'explosion non-métallique destiné à protéger un espace confiné d'un état de forte surpression. Un matériau de renfort présentant une résistance à la traction supérieure à celle de la résine, comme des brins, un treillis ou un tissu de fibres de verre, est incorporé dans le panneau. Une rainure allongée présentant la forme générale d'un U s'étend vers l'intérieur à partir de l'une des surfaces du panneau à travers une partie seulement de l'épaisseur du panneau. Ladite rainure interrompt le matériau de renfort et définit une ligne de fracture qui présente une zone de décharge du panneau qui s'ouvre sous un état de surpression prédéterminé. Une pluralité de composants de renfort espacés recouvre de préférence la rainure et peuvent éventuellement s'étendre en travers de la zone de décharge du panneau, transversalement par rapport à celle-ci et selon un angle les uns par rapport aux autres. Les composants de renfort contribuent à la maîtrise de la pression d'éclatement de l'évent et aident à empêcher la séparation de la zone de l'évent du corps du panneau et / ou la fragmentation de la zone de l'évent au cours de son ouverture.
