Title: High efficiency low pollution hybrid brayton cycle combustor
Inventor: GINTER J LYELL
IPC: F02M25/03
Filed: 1999-03-10
Abstract: A power generating system is described which operates at high pressure and utilizes a working fluid consisting of a mixture of compressed non-flammable air components, fuel combustion products and steam. The working fluid exiting the power generating system is substantially free of NOx and CO. Working fluid is provided at constant pressure and temperature. Combustion air is supplied by one or more stages of compression. Fuel is injected at pressure as needed. Substantially all of the oxygen in the compressed air is consumed when the fuel is burned. Inert liquid is injected at high pressure to produce an inert mass of high specific heat diluent vapor for use for internal cooling of the combustion chamber. The use of non-flammable liquid injection inhibits the formation of pollutants, increases the efficiency and available horsepower from the system, and reduces specific fuel consumption. Control systems allow the independent control of the quantity, temperature and pressure of the air, fuel and non-flammable liquid introduced in the combustion chamber allowing control of the maximum temperature and average temperature within the combustion chamber as well as the temperature of the exhaust from the combustion chamber. Substantially all of the temperature control of the system is provided by the latent heat of vaporization of the inert liquid, which is preferably water, the latent heat of vaporization counteracting the heat generated by combustion of the fuel. If the injected water contains inorganic or organic contaminants, they are collected as a molten or solid residue or, if flammable, ignited by the flame.

Title: Systems and methods for producing standby uninterruptible power for ac loads using rectified ac and battery
Inventor: OUGHTON GEORGE W JR
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 1999-03-16
Abstract: Systems and mehtods for producing standby uninterruptible power for an AC load rectify an AC utility input voltage to produce a rectified voltage and activate a DC  battery voltage in response to a change in the AC utility input voltage to thereby produce a standby DC voltage.  The rectified voltage and the standby DC voltage are connected to an AC load that includes input rectification to thereby produce standby uninterruptible power without the need for costly, bulky, and/or unreliable inverters or converters. Seamless transfer of power may be provided to support the AC load upon failure of the AC utility input voltage and upon restoration of the AC utility input volt-age. The AC utility input voltage is preferably rectified by a diode rectifier, most preferably a full-wave diode rectifier including at least four diodes, to produce the rectified voltage. A diode switch is used to activate the DC voltage from the battery in response to a change in the AC utility input voltage to thereby produce the standby DC voltage.  The diode switch may include a separate diode and an electronic or electromechanical switch. Alternatively, the diode switch may be a single element such as a thyristor. The diode rectifier and the diode and switch are connected in a diode-OR connection that provides the standby uninterruptible power for the output of the UPS. The diode-OR  connection allows the strongest source to support the AC  load at all times.

Title: Drive device, especially for moving and turning the slats of a blind in a runner
Inventor: HUGIN WALTER
IPC: E06B9/00
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: In a drive device which is especially suitable for moving and turning the slats of a blind in a runner and in which the rotational movement of a drive wheel (2) can be alternately transmitted to a turning drive means effecting the rotational movement of the slats and to a transport drive means effecting the movement of the salts in the runner, the drive wheel (2) is driven by electric motor and, in addition, the shift of the change gear from its one shifting position into the other shifting position is effected by an electrical signal. For this purpose, a toothed sleeve (3) driving the transport drive means and a toothed sleeve (4) driving the turning drive means is alternately coupled to a drive tube (1), which can be driven via the drive wheel (2), in dependence on the relative rotational position of a reversing shaft (10) in the drive tube (1) via locking members (7, 8) arranged on its periphery. A brake disk (24) of magnetizable material, which faces an electromagnet (25), is mounted on the reversing shaft (10). When the electromagnet (25) is not excited, the reversing shaft (10) is rotationally entrained by the drive tube (1) and when the electromagnet (25) is excited, the brake disk (24) is attracted, the reversing shaft (10) thus held in its position and the drive tube (1) can be rotated with respect to the reversing shaft (1) against a restoring force.

The method further includes calculating, from the bit design parameters, drilling parameters and earth formation, parameters of a crater formed when one of a plurality of cutting elements contacts the earth formation. The method further includes calculating a bottomhole geometry, wherein the crater is removed from a bottomhole surface. The method also includes incrementally rotating the bit and repeating the calculating of crater parameters and bottomhole geometry based on calculated roller cane rotation speed and geometrical location with respect to rotation of said roller cone drill bit about its axis. The method also includes converting the crater and bottomhole geometry parameters into a visual representation.

Title: Detecteur pour mesurer un champ magnetique
Inventor: SCHELTEN JAKOB
IPC: G01R33/00
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne un détecteur pour mesurer un champ magnétique, qui, par rapport à un détecteur à effet Hall, présente une sensibilité de mesure élevée. Ce détecteur est constitué de plusieurs couches semiconductrices électriquement, qui sont placées sous la forme d'une diode de puissance montée dans le sens indirect, constituée d'une couche anodique, d'une couche cathodique et d'une couche intrinsèque intercalée entre les deux couches mentionnées précédemment. La couche anodique est divisée par des sections d'isolation en plusieurs zones isolées les unes des autres. La couche cathodique présente, sur les zones faisant face aux sections d'isolation, une zone d'injecteur dopée de manière opposée. L'application d'une tension d'injection au niveau de cette zone d'injecteur permet de former, entre la zone d'injecteur et l'anode, un faisceau électronique qui se répartit sous la forme de courants partiels homogènes sur les zones de couche anodique mises à la terre. Un champ magnétique apparaissant dans la couche intrinsèque dévie le faisceau électronique, ce qui entraîne la formation de courants partiels de différentes intensités sur les zones de couche anodique mises à la terre. La mesure de ces différences d'intensité permet de calculer le champ magnétique en présence.

Title: Bridge device for paper forming equipment and method
Inventor: BOUCHARD DANIEL JEAN
IPC: D21F1/02
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: A bridge (70) for a papermaking apparatus having a headbox (12), an apron li p (42) and a forming surface (16). The bridge spans a gap between the apron li p of the headbox and the forming surface to substantially eliminate a free jet  of stock slurry as it leaves the headbox apron lip. This serves to maintain pressure from the headbox to the forming zone above the forming surface thereby eliminating the reduction in velocity of the stock slurry in the forming zone. In an aspect of the invention, the bridge generates micro- turbulent flow of stock slurry within the forming zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the non-leachable immobilisation of molybdenum compounds in a slag by treating iron- and molybdenum-containing waste streams under reducing conditions, for example under an oxygen pressur e of 10-6 to 10-12 bar, advantageously 10-7.5 to 10-9.5 bar, at a temperature which advantageously is 50 ~C above the liquidus temperature of the slag and  under a thermodynamic activity of Fe(II) in the slag of more than 0.5, the Fe(III)/Fe(II) ratio in the slag being adjusted to a value of between 0.25 a nd 2. The resulting slag is then cooled in such a way that a solid solution of MoO2 in a spinel structure is obtained, which spinel structure exhibits a ve ry low leaching value for molybdenum. By reason of this, such slags can be used , for example, as material in the construction industry.
