Abstract: The powder injection system is comprised of a dosing chamber (2) which is directly supplied by a conventional powder supplier (7) and communicates with the barrel (1) of the detonation gun through a direct conduit (5). Thus, the pressure wave which progresses through the barrel (1) enters through the communication conduits (5) and, when reaching the dosing chamber (2), is subjected to a sudden expansion which stops the powder supply from the continuous supplier (7) and produces the complete fluidification of the powder contained in the dosing chamber (2). The fluidized powder will then be entrained by suction up to the barrel (1) where it resides until the pressure wave generated in a new detonation cycle entrains said powder to deposit it to the surface of the part to be coated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement to mitigate damage to a rotary cultivator type mine clearer. In the event of detonations, triggered by the mine clearance tool, the present invention acts to mitigate damage to the mine-clearing tool, the mechanical mine clearer drive function, and its suspension. Detonation forces are, in a first stage, damped by hydraulic and/or mechanical damping members which are coupled between the bearing points of the tool and the engine driving the tool and which connect those parts to form a combined unit. If the detonation force is not absorbed, then, in a second stage, the detonation force remaining after the first stage damping, is counter to some of the combined weight of a unit formed by the tool, its bearings and the engine driving the tool. In response to the detonation force remaining, after first stage damping, the damping members pivot the unit upwards about a transverse axis allowing the detonation force, remaining after the first stage damping, to be expended lifting the mine clearance tool from the detonation site. If detonation force remains, then, in a third stage, the damping members channel the detonation force remaining, after first and second stage damping, through a deformation zone between ground-working parts and the bearings supporting the mine clearance tool, absorbing the remaining detonation force in the deformation zone, without affecting the bearings.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods using neutral red to mediate the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy. Electrically reduced neutral red has been found to promote cell growth and formation of reduced products by reversibly increasing the ratio of the reduced:oxidized forms of NAD(H) or NADP(H). Electrically reduced neutral red is able to serve as the sole source of reducing power for microbial cell growth. Neutral red is also able to promote conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy by facilitating the transfer of electrons from microbial reducing power to a fuel cell cathode.

Abstract: Even when a jaggy occurs in an original image, the image is accurately enlarged and a good image cannot be obtained as a result. In the case of performing pixel interpolation on an image in a dot matrix state, image data is entered in step 100, the whole image is scanned while shifting a marked pixel, and whether or not an edge exists in the direction of 45 or 135 degrees by using the marked pixel as a reference is detected in step 115. When an edge at 45 or 135 degrees exists, the edge is smoothed in the direction of either 45 degrees in step 120 or 135 degrees in step 125. After that, pixel interpolation is carried out irrespective of the presence or absence of an edge. Consequently, when there are irregular edges, it can be prevented that an image is directly subjected to pixel interpolation and a jaggy occurs. <IMAGE>
