Abstract: A power turbine system operating in an organic Rankine cycle with a thermodynamic medium flowing therethrough, including a power turbine (10) having an inlet connected to a conduit (50) and an exhaust (14), a lower temperature engine system having a heat engine, a circulating thermodynamic turbine medium flowing through the heat engine and producing rejected waste heat during engine system operation, a regenerative heat transfer device (6) for heating the turbine medium from the turbine exhaust (14) to produce liquid phase turbine medium at an elevated temperature, a pump (28) for pumping the liquid phase turbine medium at the elevated temperature as a first boiler feed return stream, a boiler feed return stream conduit (50) for conducting the boiler feed return stream to the turbine (10) through branch conduits (51, 52) and injectors (53, 54) and to pump (55) to boiler vessel (56) for heating the turbine medium to be fed to the turbine inlet. The injectors (53, 54) are positioned along the turbine cycle between successive stages and are controlled by controlling the mass flow of the injected liquid phase turbine medium therethrough into the turbine (10) for effecting a selected vapor quality of the resulting mixture. The turbine medium is a thermodynamic medium such as isopentane having a tendancy to diverge toward the superheated region from the saturation curve thereof during isentropic expansion of the vapor thereof across the pressure gradient traversed by the turbine cycle.

Abstract: A system for locating objects in space, such as medical instruments within the body of a patient, based upon transmission of magnetic fields from coils in a fixed frame of reference to sensors on the object or visa-versa. The current supplied to the coils is adjusted to assure that the sensors receive fields within a preselected range of magnitudes regardless of the location of the object in space. This assures that the sensor operates within its optimum range, and permits use of compact transmitters and sensors.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for the permanent application of indicia to the surface of the polyolefin object by applying pigmented material to the surface in an indica pattern, preferably from a transfer sheet. Preferably the pigmented material is a mixture of finely divided pigment, hydrocarbon wax and finely divided polyolefin. The polyolefin surface bearing the indicia is coated with a coating mixture comprising a mixture of polyolefin and a binder such as a rosin or wax. Thereafter, the coated, indicia-bearing polyolefin surface is surface-heated to a temperature sufficient to fuse the coating and incorporate the coating and indicia permanently into the polyolefin object. The heating can be performed by passing a heat source across the surface.

Abstract: Process for liquid filtration in a two-stage process comprises concentrating solids in a filtration section, passing the concentrated wet solids into a second vessel, in which they are dewatered in a press, and disintegrating, drying and removing. The installation has two vessels: a filter unit (1) and a press unit (2). The raw fluid is pumped into unit (1), which contains two sets of filter candles (7o,7u), one facing vertically downwards and the other facing vertically upwards. Each set is mounted in a circular pattern at different pitch circle diameters on separately driven supports so that they can rotate concentrically in contrary motion. This provides the principal circulation in the primary concentration stage. Blades (11o,11u) at the top and the bottom drive fluid downward and upward respectively around the candles. The concentrate passes through line (3a) into the press chamber (16) whose jaws are closed hydraulically. Additives (K1) may be used to aid dewatering during compression. When compression is complete the jaws are partially opened and the lower plate is rotated so that teeth on both plates disintegrate the filter cake. The particles fall into a drying chamber where they are fluidized by a number of rotating blades (18). Drying heat is supplied either by hot filtrate passing through the double walls of the drying chamber, or by direct radiation. The principal objective is therefore to allow the filter elements to operate at relatively low pressure so that only their surfaces retain the residues and the pores remain unclogged. Altogether 60 subsidiary claims, supported by drawings, describe aspects of the system.
