Inventor: DUDA GEORG
IPC: G01N3/00
Filed: 1999-06-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the mechanical rigidity of hard and soft biological materials (e.g. articular cartilage) without contact in body cavities (e.g. arthroscopically), using a defined jet of fluid. The distance between the measuring device and the measuring surface (e.g. the joint surface) is continuously measured in a predetermined measuring area using an optical method. The invention is suitable for measuring the mechanical rigidity of native cartilage, replacement articular cartilage, cartilage defect fillings or other biological materials and therefore, for user-independent and quick analysis of the quality of regenerates compared to native starting material.

Abstract: In continuous production of iron(II) chloride solution, granular steel scrap, cast iron or other iron alloy and dilute HCl are fed continuously from the top of a trickle bed reactor through a gas-tight lock and HCl reacts completely with the iron. Unreacted residues are discharged and concentrated FeCl2 solution is recovered. The reactor operates at 85-100 deg C with a liquid charge of 0.5-1.5/hour.  In the continuous production of iron-II chloride (FeCl2) solution from steel, cast iron and other iron alloys in suitable granular form and dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) in a trickle bed reactor, steel scrap or an analogous material and HCl are introduced continuously from the top of the reactor through a gas-tight lock system. The reaction products, FeCl2 solution and hydrogen (H2), are formed in the down-flowing trickling stream. The HCl reacts completely with the excess iron in the steel. Unreacted residues from the raw material are discharged by the downward motion resulting from reaction and addition of fresh raw materials and a concentrated FeCl2 solution is recovered.

Filed: 2000-11-16
Abstract: An air-conditioning system with a refrigerant
circulation circuit, which has improved control precision
for maintaining a compartment temperature and improved
response characteristics. The refrigerant circulation
circuit includes a variable displacement type compressor,
the discharge capacity of which is controlled by a control
valve. The control valve CV detects a differential
pressure Δt between two pressure monitoring points in the
refrigerant circulation circuit as an index for estimating
the refrigerant discharge capacity of the variable
displacement type compressor CM and performs feedback
control of the discharge capacity of the compressor such
that the differential pressure converges to a set
differential pressure. A controller 70 determines or
recomputes the set differential pressure based on
information from a mode switching unit or an air-flow-rate
switch and instructs the control valve to change the set
differential pressure accordingly. The switch information
from the mode switching unit or the air-flow-rate switch
signals the controller 70 of a sudden change in the cooling
load before the occurrence of the change or at the same
time as the change occurs.
