Inventor: NURCOMBE CLAIRE
IPC: G01D3/00
Filed: 2004-12-21
Abstract: An olfactory method for simultaneously assessing a quantity and a quality of odours in an airstream, comprising the steps of determining a first mean value of results of ratings of an acceptability of an odour of a single airstream, rated by a group of test persons; determining a second mean value of results of ratings of an odour intensity done by the same group of test persons for the same odourous airstream;  determining a decipol value of ratings of a perceived air quality according to the method of Fanger of the same odourous airstream, rated by the same group of test persons;  providing a matrix containing all mathematically possible values of the acceptability of rating, the odour intensity rating and the decipol values of the perceived air quality, wherein each value or a range of values of one the three rating categories is assigned to one score in a scale of scores: determining a score for each of the values taken from steps a), b), and c) by classifying it into one of the values or ranges of values in a corresponding category in the matrix of step d), which results in three scores; and calculating a third mean value of the three scores, resulting in an overall average score corresponding to an overall quantitative and qualitative odour characteristics of the airstream evaluated.

Abstract: An upright product outlet bag evacuation packaging (100, 200) includes a flexible, collapsible bag (101, 201) and a spout (116, 216) that contains an d dispenses a liquid (118, 218). The bag (101, 201) includes a first wall (102 , 202) and a second wall (104, 204) that are operatively connected by a seam (106, 206). When the bag (101, 201) is filled with liquid (118, 218), the first wall (102, 202) and the second wall (104, 204) are pushed away from on e another thereby pulling a first side (109, 209) inward and causing an indentation (114, 214) to form. The indentation (114, 214) hinders flush contact between the first wall (102, 202) and the second wall (104, 204) as the bag (101, 201) progressively collapses as the liquid (118, 218) is dispensed. A housing (300, 400) for use with a dispenser may be used to crea te and reinforce the indentation (114, 214). The housing (300, 400) includes a cavity (303, 403) configured and arranged to receive the bag (101, 201). A door (302, 402) is operatively connected to the housing and includes a bar member (304, 404) which extends into the cavity (303, 304). The bar member (304, 404) contacts the bag (101, 201) with the cavity (303, 304) to create and reinforce the indentation (114, 214).

Title: Veneer slicer
Inventor: WEPPLER HEINRICH
IPC: B27L5/04
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: The problem in previously known stay log-type veneer slicers in which a larg e block of wood is directed in an eccentrically rotating manner past a knife consists of the fact that a remaining block that cannot be sliced has to be removed by hand from a girder structure on which the block is mounted. Hence , the downtime for removing the remaining block and mounting a new block of wo od is relatively long. The aim of the invention is therefore to create a stay l og- type veneer slicer that has a reduced downtime. Said aim is achieved by disposing means for discarding the block of wood (16) and a device for automatically conveying away the discarded block of wood on the girder structure (12).

Abstract: The invention is a method of reducing the carbon dioxide content of flue gas emissions of coal fired furnaces in a manner that is in general agreement with the Kyoto Protocol which carne into popular effect 16 February 2005. Flue gases exit the facility by induced draft into a scrubber barrel which is placed within the facility stack immediately contiguous to its bade. The flue gases pass upward in the said scrubber barrel through an aqueous alkaline mist generated as the diffused discharge of a series of longitudinally aligned ejectors. The carbon dioxide within the flue gases chemically react with basic alkaline spent electrolyte material dissolved in the aqueous solution of the ejector discharge spray to form alkaline metal carbonates of various consistencies and is also absorbed in the aqueous media itself as bicarbonated liquid. The reacted electrolyte mist coalesces on the cooling surface of a condenser and passes downward into a sludge basin where it is further processed to remove reacted particulate matter and is also subjected to a lower pressure to remove absorbed carbon dioxide, which is subsequently compressed in a different pressure vessel. Both the recovered precipitated matter and compressed carbon dioxide are value added products to be sold on the commodity market.
