Abstract: The thermal output of a combined heat and power generation system is regulated by varying the speed of rotation while maintaining the position of the control means of the thermal engine in its maximum efficiency range. For that purpose, the thermal engine in its full load position or efficiency optimum is brought to a lower or higher speed of rotation exclusively by respectively reducing or increasing the electric current fed into the mains, so that the efficiency of the thermal engine is not substantially affected. The electric current may be maintained at the desired frequency by frequency converters.

Abstract: The unit comprises a housing with an inlet aperture through which fresh and/or circulating air is feedable as input air. In the housing is a hot air channel, in which is a heating body, and also a cold air channel, with a mixture chamber in which the hot air current conducted through the hot air channel and the cold air current conducted through the cold air channel are mixed. Several outlet apertures are provided, through which the mixed air current is conducted to the corresponding outlet nozzles. Air control devices control the air throughput within the hot air channel, the cold air channel and the outlet apertures. An additional channel serves to feed a part air current to an outlet aperture.

Abstract: A control system for a single-valve controlled medical ventilator adaptively invokes separate flow delivery or flow exhaust control functions in response to the sensed dynamic state of the ventilator without any dependence on measured patient parameters. The control system selects either the flow delivery control system or flow exhaust control system based on a determination of the mode in which the ventilator is operating. The determination is made using a sensed ventilator operational parameter, such as the ratio of manifold pressure to flow output, to select the appropriate control function. A hysteresis routine is provided to prevent "hair triggering" between the flow delivery and flow exhaust control systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention deals with a technology for minting coins and medals. The technology is based on the utilization of metal blanks with similar diameters, one being very thin (hereafter named as the foil), joined together by mechanical means during the impartion of the surface details by the minting dies. The technology requires the design and manufacture of a special geometry in the edge of the thicker disk in order to make possible assembly of the metal blanks. The proposed technology is based on a multi-stage manufacturing process consisting of three cold metal forming operations (preforming, rimming and coining) and one intermediate annealing treatment. The first metal forming operation ensures the preforming of the thicker disk blank, hereafter named as the disk. The second metal forming stage is the rimming operation in which the preformed disk is bent along its diameter in order to generate a suitable profile for subsequent assembly with the foil. The third metal forming stage is a coining operation in which the metal blanks (disk and foil) are assembled together, by locking the foil into the rimmed edge of the disk, during the imprint of the surface details. The annealing treatment is to be performed before the coining operation. The goal is to restore the initial ductility of the disk prior to the final coining stage.
