Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de chaudière qui permet de produire de la vapeur d'eau et qui comprend une pluralité de chaudières oxygaz montées en série. Chaque chaudière comprend une entrée en communication fluidique avec une pluralité de tubes. Les tubes de chaque chaudière forment au moins une paroi d'eau. Chaque chaudière est conçue pour empêcher sensiblement l'introduction d'air. Chaque chaudière comprend un système de combustion oxygaz comprenant un dispositif d'alimentation en oxygène fournissant de l'oxygène dont la pureté est supérieure à 21 %, un dispositif d'alimentation en combustible à base de carbone fournissant du combustible à base de carbone et au moins un système de brûleur oxygaz destiné à injecter l'oxygène et le combustible à base de carbone dans leur chaudière respective dans une proportion quasi stoechiométrique. Le système de combustion oxygaz est conçu pour limiter un excès d'oxygène ou de combustible à base de carbone par rapport à une tolérance prédéterminée. Les tubes de chaque chaudière sont conçus pour subir une exposition directe à une énergie rayonnante pour effectuer un transfert d'énergie. Chaque chaudière est indépendante des autres chaudières.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thread system (1) for installing in drinking water systems and other liquid guiding systems, said thread system having a multidimensional structure formed by at least one thread (200) which exhibits a germicidal activity in a damp environment due to oligodynamic metal parts in the thread. According to the invention, the thread system (1) is provided with a first surface structure (10), and a plurality of spacer thread elements (11) extends perpendicularly to the surface structure (10) in such a way that the thread system (1) forms an elastically deformable three-dimensional spacer structure, the thread (200) with the germicidal activity being arranged in the surface structure (10) and/or in the region of the spacer thread elements (11). The elastic properties enable the same thread system (1) to be used for a plurality of different drinking water systems. A volume unit of the thread system (1), which is larger than the spatial volume in the assembly region of the drinking water system, is introduced into the assembly region in a compressed manner. The thread system (1) is then left to expand, and sticks, with the surface structure (10) and the fibrous spacer sections (11), the wall sections of the drinking water system which define the spatial volume.

Abstract: An electric autobrake interlock system for an aircraft includes an autobrake power interlock mechanism that prevents inadvertent (uncommanded) application of brakes. The autobrake power interlock removes operating power from the brake actuators whenever the autobrake actuation data does not indicate a legitimate autobrake application condition. The interlock processing occurs in parallel with the autobrake command processing such that even if an inadvertent autobrake command is generated, the brake actuators will be unable to act upon the inadvertent autobrake command. In this regard, the brake actuators are unable to apply brakes automatically unless the following two actions happen concurrently: the operating power is provided to enable the electric brake actuators and autobrake actuation control is commanded in response to the legitimate autobrake application condition.
