Abstract: The present method refers to the development of attachments to be incorporated inside the product bulk, such as food products, for the effective continuous detection and recording of temperature changes that denote faulty maintenance conditions during the storage of the product, its transport and distribution. 
     Both detection and recording of specific temperature changes are effected with this method based on the change of shape of the so-called "Shape Memory Alloys" (SMA). The latter, change their shape in specific ways in response to temperature changes outside a predefined range, while when coated with other materials, such as plastic polymers or TiO 2 , they change their colour after their geometric state -e.g. contraction or dilation- has been transformed. 
     Their cost is very low compared with the products that their safe maintenance is detected and recorded and no external power source is required, so that they can be directly attached to the product, closely monitoring its actual life-long maintenance temperatures.

Filed: 2010-07-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing direct reduced iron (DRI), also known as sponge iron, by means of direct contact of iron oxides with a stream of recycled and regenerated hot reducing gases containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The invention provides a way for decreasing the uncontained emission of CO 2  to the atmosphere produced by combustion of carbon-bearing fuels in the reducing gas heater by substituting, at least partially, a gas stream mainly composed of hydrogen in lieu of the usual carbon-bearing fuels. The hydrogen fuel stream, depleted of CO 2  by means of a physical gas separation unit (which can be a PSA/VPSA type adsorption unit, a gas separation membrane unit or combination of PSA/VPSA unit and a gas separation membrane unit) is derived from at least a portion of a stream of regenerated reducing gases being recycled to the reduction reactor. The derived hydrogen fuel stream is combusted in the reducing gas heater and/or other thermal equipment in the reduction plant, thus decreasing the CO 2  emissions directly to the atmosphere.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un programme informatique permettant de fournir une interface graphique utilisateur (GUI), qui établit un premier niveau d'agrandissement pour la GUI et un second niveau d'agrandissement pour un pointeur. Le programme affiche la GUI agrandie au premier niveau d'agrandissement et contrôle une messagerie d'interface de programme d'application pour un appel relatif à un identificateur de pointeur de système. Il intercepte cet appel et choisit une échelle pour les paramètres de pointage qui correspond non pas au niveau d'agrandissement de la GUI mais au second niveau d'agrandissement pour le pointeur. Le pointeur est ensuite affiché pour un utilisateur final du système informatique différent du niveau d'agrandissement de la GUI. L'invention offre donc un agrandissement de la GUI qui est indépendant de la souris ou du caret.
