Patent EP-0643819-A1 (EP)
Title: Cold storage apparatus.
Inventor: ROBERTS LINDA
IPC: F25D16/00
Filed: 1993-06-10
Abstract: Cold storage apparatus comprises a vessel (1) containing a storage liquid and a heat transfer liquid in direct contact with the storage liquid to transfer heat thereto or therefrom. The liquids are immiscible and of different densities and the heat transfer liquid remains liquid during heat transfer. The storage liquid comprises a liquid which solidifies when sufficiently cooled by the heat transfer liquid and the solidified storage liquid is of a different density to the storage liquid. The liquids form by gravity sequentially within the vessel (1) a first layer (4) of heat transfer liquid, a second layer (3) of storage liquid and a third layer (2) of solidified storage liquid. The cold storage apparatus includes heat transfer liquid circulating means (6) to deliver the heat transfer liquid to and from vessel (1). The heat transfer liquid circulating means (6) is arranged to deliver the heat transfer liquid into the first or second layer (4) or (3) at a temperature below the freezing point of the storage liquid.

Title: Piquet, poteau ou poutre fabriquee a partir d'une bande recyclee
Inventor: MILLER EDWARD LEROY
IPC: B29B17/02
Filed: 1993-06-11
Abstract: Un élément de construction tous usages, tel qu'un piquet (61), un poteau (63) ou une poutre (64), est fabriqué à partir d'un matériau rebuté analogue à du caoutchouc, tel que des pneumatiques ou des courroies de transporteur à bande. Les pneumatiques (10) sont d'abord ouverts par découpe et mis à plat pour former un tapis. Puis, ils sont enroulés en spirale afin d'obtenir des rouleaux (41, 42, 44, 45, 46) à la manière d'un gâteau roulé à la gelée (55) de façon à former un piquet composite stratifié. Les propriétés du piquet enroulé peuvent être mises au point par modification des propriétés de la colle qui est appliquée sur une surface du tapis avant d'enrouler celui-ci. Les piquets en caoutchouc stratifié peuvent être enroulés selon des tailles prédéterminées à partir d'une préconfiguration appropriée du tapis par juxtaposition ou superposition de multiples tapis uniques de pneumatiques. Les piquets stratifiés analogues au caoutchouc présentent une excellente résistance, une excellente absorption des chocs et des vibrations ainsi qu'une excellente usinabilité. Le recyclage de ce matériau de récupération non dégradable ainsi que le remplacement favorable du bois naturel constituent un double avantage pour l'écologie.

Title: Circuit for checking the operation of free track signalling relays
Inventor: BRANDES NORBERT
IPC: B61L1/20
Filed: 1994-02-14
Abstract: In order to ensure that a free track signalling relay (FM1, FM2) switched on over a long time can really fall off if required when a track section is occupied, said free track signalling relay is swithced off for checking purposes. Its switching reaction to such a command is monitored by means of a repeater contact (FM1/2, FM2/2). For that purpose the free track signalling relay is designed as a signalling relay. For the signal box the free track signalling state of the corresponding track section remains, as the signalling contact (FM1/1, FM2/1) of the checked free track signalling relay is bridged during the checking operation by a contact (P1/1, P2/1), then closed, of a checking relay actuatable only during the checking operation.

Abstract: Method for improving the operation of electric plants, of combined cycle, with parallel delivery of energy to the steam cycle in a boiler of fossil fuel (1), preferably coal, consisting in carrying out a second intermediary reheating with steam in the recovery exchanger (3) of exhaust gases from the gas turbine (2), thereby exploiting part of the gas energy, essentially in the high temperature area. Part of this reheated steam may be derived for its expansion into another steam turbine (7) which operates only in these conditions. In relation to existing solutions, the disclosed process provides a reduction of energetic losses by heat transmission in the recovery exchanger as well as of energetic losses derived from the formation of humidity in the steam turbine; as a result, the global efficiency of the plant is improved in design conditions, the availability of the plant is enhanced, its costs of maintenance are reduced and the average efficiency in the long term is also increased.

Abstract: A device and method for isoelectric focusing of ampholytes in a buffer uses a cone-shaped capillary with a positive electrode connected at a narrow end and a negative electrode connected at the wide end of the capillary. The electrical potential across the buffer creates a temperature gradient which, in turn, creates a pH gradient. The electric current also creates an electric field gradient which focuses the ampholytes. Previous devices and methods use carrier ampholytes or use temperature baths to create a temperature gradient.

Abstract: Nouveau procédé de mise en ÷uvre dans la production d'énergie électrique de combustibles solides à flaible valeur calorifique. On obtient un rendement trois fois supérieur à celui obtenu à l'heure actuelle par combustion, et cela grâce à une opération caractérisée par une élimination interne totale et efficace de la pollution. Le procédé s'applique aux combustibles solides présentant une faible valeur calorifique comprise entre 800 et 3000 Kcal/Kg, et pouvant subir une pyrolyse de l'ordre de 30 à 80 % à des températures inférieures à 600 °C. Ces combustibles sont mis en oeuvre au moyen de deux réacteurs sous pression montés en série, le premier étant du type à lit fluidisé où la pyrolyse s'effectue à une température comprise entre 450 et 600 °C, ce qui constitue un processus réducteur produisant de l'acide sulfhydrique, tandis que le second est du type à lit solide où le reste carboné de la pyrolyse est gazéifié par oxygène ou par oxygène/vapeur d'eau, le soufre étant oxydé de manière à donner du dioxyde de soufre. Les deux courants gazeux se mélangent dans des conditions telles que les gaz sulfurés sont neutralisés par une réaction de Claus: 2H2S + SO2 ← 3S + 2H2O. Les gaz combustibles sont produits à des températures comprises entre 600 et 800 °C et sous des pressions allant de 20 à 30 atm, et s'utilisent dans une turbine externe servant à produire de l'électricité à partir de l'énergie thermomécanique qu'ils renferment. Sinon, on les échange afin d'obtenir de la vapeur d'eau sous pression. Ensuite, on utilise les gaz combustibles dans un système circulaire combiné en vue de produire de l'énergie électrique au moyen de leurs valeurs thermiques.
