Inventor: MUSSMANN LOTHAR
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2008-12-12
Abstract: The adherence to future legally obligatory exhaust gas limit values for diesel vehicles in Europe, North America and Japan requires not only the removal of particles but also effective removal of nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gas ('deNOx').  The 'active SCR process' is the preferred method for this. The nitrogen oxide conversions achieved by means of this process are particularly high when an optimal NO2/NO X ratio, preferably 0.5, is set upstream of the SCR catalyst. The invention proposes a process which solves the problem of supplying NO2 in accordance with requirements by means of temperature control of the precatalyst which is decoupled from the operating state of the engine. In an associated apparatus, a precatalyst (1) which contains at least one oxidation component and whose temperature can be controlled independently of the operating state of the engine and an active SCR stage comprising an SCR catalyst (3c) with upstream metering facility (3b) for a reducing agent from an external source (3a) are arranged in series. A particle filter (2) can be arranged between precatalyst and metering facility. The precatalyst preferably additionally contains a nitrogen oxide storage material.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to missile training systems, especially to those relating to the provision of a mechanism that allows missiles and similar devices to be fired at a target in a realistic, but safe, manner. The use of live fire exer-cises, in which army or other armed forces personnel use fully functioning weapons systems is well established. Live fire exercises can be used to provide realistic training scenarios, but also present obvious dangers. Live fire exercises present opportunities for checking that weapons systems function correctly and allow users, such as soldiers, to practice using real weapons in situations that are more realistic than firing ranges. It is known to use live missiles and torpedoes in naval training exercises and trials. For example, missiles can be fired at a ship to check the effectiveness of mechanisms for tracking and destroying such missiles.  Clear-ly, there are substantial safety and costs issues to address before such a live firing regime is likely to be approved. A first approach for firing live missiles at a ship involves the use of a dummy ship, but crucially requires no personnel to be on board, thereby eliminating the risk to human life. This approach has clear disadvantages. A  second approach involves firing a missile or other projectile at a target, such as a ship, so that the missile or projectile passes over the ship and lands on the other side. This approach enables personnel to be on board the ship and enables the on-board systems to be used in a realistic manner to attempt to destroy the incoming missile. However,there is a lack of realism. A third approach is to direct a missile towards a ship but to program its route so that it moves away from the ship immediately prior to any impact.  This system also lacks realism. Other approaches exist.  The present invention provides a module for attachment to an object (such as a missile), the object being adapted to be directed to-wards a target (such as a ship), the module comprising a control system providing an output signal indicative of whether or not said object is to be destroyed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device 1 for the contactless and therefore non-destructive measurement of a degree of dryness of a coat of paint 5 applied to a substrate 4.  According to the invention, the device comprises at least one transmitter 2 for electromagnetic radiation, at least one receiver 7 for determining the absorption of the electromagnetic radiation radiated into the coat of paint 5, and a measuring means 8. In the measuring means 8, the raw measured values measured by the receiver 7 are processed and the degree of dryness, calculated therefrom, of the coat of paint 5 is displayed. Either microwave radiation or infrared radiation in the near infrared range is used as measuring radiation, at least one time-dependent measurement of the absorption A(t) at a constant wavelength A being made in both cases.   A drying means composed of infrared radiators can be switched off automatically by a control and adjustment means 9 when a preselected degree of dryness is achieved. The drying means is switched off with a high level of accuracy as a result of the measurement of the degree of dryness, independently of environmental influences and varying paint compositions, and this leads to very good reproducibility and high-quality painting results.  In addition, the invention relates to a method for determining the degree of dryness of a coat of paint 5 by means of the device 1, using infrared radiation in the near infrared range or using microwaves.
