Abstract: Liquid ring pumps with rotating liners supported by a bearing fluid (pressurized liquid or compressed gas) have a bearing fluid distribution system that compensates for the radially unsymmetric load on the rotating liner. If the liner bearing fluid is compressed gas, the axial ends of the liner may be either open and unsealed so that expended bearing gas escapes into the liquid ring in the pump, or the axial ends of the liner may be partly closed by radially inwardly extending end plates. Various mechanical and/or liquid seal structures may be used in conjunction with the end plates to seal the axial ends of the liner and/or to flush the clearances adjacent the axial ends of the liner.

Abstract: The invention concerns an integration construction between a steam boiler and a steam turbine and a method for preheating of the supply water. In the integration construction the steam is passed from the steam boiler (10) along the duct (24a) into the steam turbine (11) so as to rotate the electric generator (12) which generates electricity. The economizer (23) consists of at least two parts, comprising at least one first economizer part (23') and at least one second economizer part (23''). The supply water is passed from the cold economizer part (23') to a supply-water preheater, which consists of a heat exchanger (24) in which thermal energy is transferred from bled steams of the steam turbine, either directly or through a medium, preferably water, into the supply water. After this, the supply water, which had been preheated by means of bled steams from the steam turbine, is passed in the steam boiler (10) into the hot economizer part (23'') and further to the vaporizer (240) and into the superheater (24) and through the superheater into the steam turbine.

Abstract: The isolated nucleic acid sequence for MEKK, the MEKK amino acid sequence and protein, antibodies to MEKK, and methods for using such sequences, proteins and antibodies are described. The amino acid sequence of MEKK (MEK kinase), was elucidated from a cDNA sequence encoding a protein of 672 amino acid residues (73 kilodaltons). When MEKK is expressed, it phosphorylates and activates MEK. Phosphorylation and activation of MEK by MEKK is independent of Raf, a growth factor regulated protein kinase that also phosphorylates MEK. Thus, MEKK and Raf converge at MEK in the protein kinase network mediating the activation of MAPKs by hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters.

Abstract: The invention provides pectins as new foam stabilizers for (temporary) foam heads in beverages, in particular in beers, especially beers of the pilsner type. These foam stabilizers are preferably obtained from hops, which is a constituent that is inherent in beer and accordingly offers the advantage, among others, that the foam stabilizers need to have no negative effect on the taste of the beer. Preferably, the pectins are obtained from hop cones or bines. It may be advantageous to partially saponify (de-esterify) the pectins, in connection with the number of charged groups on the pectins. In addition, the invention provides methods for obtaining the pectins and beverages stabilized with the pectins according to the invention.

Abstract: Sulfur oxides (SOx) are scrubbed from combustion effluents with aqueous limestone slurries with greater efficiency due to the use of an improved entrainment separator (130). In the preferred embodiment of a single-loop, counter-current limestone wet scrubber (100) (preferably with a spray-contacting zone of less than 6 meters in height) operating at bulk gas flow rates of greater than 4.5 meters per second, a vertical stream of flue gas is freed of a substantial portion of slurry droplets and diverted for effective mist removal by a well-drained, horizontal-flow mist eliminator (140). The entrainment separator (130) is a single-pass device with individual blades aligned for effective operation with reduced droplet impingement on the upper walls (e.g., roof) of the scrubber and to permit periodic washing. Use of a vertically-oriented, horizontal-shaft rotary heat exchanger (431) is facilitated and space and duct work requirements are greatly reduced.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making identity cores for ultrasound seals. Each core comprises a chip consisting of a brazed stack of metal disks 1 bearing at least one notch 3, the resulting identity being defined by the number, the size and the random angular position of the various notches in the stack and by the unpredictability of the brazing. The invention is characterized in that the notched disks 1 provided with a central hole 2 are first stacked in large numbers in a tubular metal sheath 4 with a circular cross-section corresponding to said disks 1. The stack is then axially compressed in the sheath 4 and a brazing bead 7 is inserted in the channel constituted by the assembly of aligned central holes 2. After brazing in a vacuum oven, the two ends of the sheath are eliminated and the resulting column is segmented perpendicularly to its axis into a series of individual identity chips 8 of predetermined thickness. Such a chip is finally associated by brazing with a metal block 13 used as delay line to constitute the core. Identity control can be combined with integrity control by associating an integrity rod 10 to 12 with said block 13, whereby with one reading both identity and integrity can be ascertained.

Abstract: A metal hose (10) comprises a metal tube (12) having an annularly corrugated wall, a fitting body (14), an extension (32) that projects from the fitting body, and a sealing member (16). The fitting body (14) defines a sealing seat (36) for the sealing member (16). The extension projects from the body about the tube and defines a corrugation positioner distal the fitting body. The extension (32) is deformed to shift the corrugation positioner (50) toward engagement with the tube and resiliently compress the tube corrugations between the positioner and the sealing member. The resiliently compressed corrugations urge the sealing member (16) against the seat for sealing the juncture of the fitting and the tube. In one embodiment a reinforcing shroud (102) surrounds the tube and extends into the fitting. The fitting secures the shroud in place. The corrugation positioner (50) compresses the tube corrugations through the shroud so the shroud is clamped and secured in place by the positioner at a location spaced axially from its end within the fitting. <IMAGE>
