Abstract: There is provided a radiofrequency thermal balloon catheter system capable of precisely predicting the surface temperature of a balloon which directly heats a target tissue without allowing a temperature sensor to directly contact with a balloon membrane. In the radiofrequency thermal balloon catheter system, a vibrational wave is applied to an inside of the balloon through a solution transport path by means of a vibration generator. An in-balloon temperature sensor is insulated from the electrode for delivery of radiofrequency current to be fixed in the vicinity of a distal end of an inner tube and then the temperature of the swirls flowing along the inner surface of the balloon is detected. In the present system, the surface temperature of the balloon can be predicted by measuring the temperature of the swirls approximate to the surface temperature of the balloon by means of the in-balloon temperature sensor while applying a radiofrequency current.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling operation of an outboard motor having an internal combustion engine, a transmission and a low-speed cruise controller controlling a rotational speed of the propeller to make the boat cruise at low speed, the low-speed cruise controller outputs an increase/decrease command of the propeller rotational speed in response to an operator's manipulation, and change the gear position from the second speed to the first speed when the decrease command is outputted under a condition where the gear position is in the second speed and an engine speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed. With this, it becomes possible to decrease the propeller rotational speed to the maximum extent, thereby making a boat cruise at very low speed.

Abstract: As C02 is a main greenhouse gas, CCS (carbon capture and storage) is essential to control global warming. CO2 compression is one of the main steps in the CCS process, which also requires a large amount of energy. For flexible CO2 compressor operation the CO2 compressors are typically powered by electric motors. These increase the operational flexibility but lead to additional expenses, losses in power and efficiency due to generators, transmission and the motors themselves. The main objective of the present invention is to provide a method for the optimized operation of a power plant comprising a power generation unit with a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture system and CO2 compressor with minimum losses during normal operation, and which allows flexible part load operation of the CO2 capture system and compressor. The essence of the invention is a flexible operating method, which allows the use of steam from the power unit to drive a steam turbine, which drives the CO2 compressor via an engaged overrunning clutch if a sufficient amount of steam is available from the power unit, and to drive the CO2 compressor by the generator, which is used as motor when insufficient steam is available from the power unit. At times when no or insufficient steam is available the overrunning clutch is disengaged and the steam turbine may be at standstill or idling.
