Patent EP-0589960-B1 (EP)
Inventor: COHN ARTHUR
IPC: F02G5/02

Granted: 1997-01-02
Abstract: An improved power plant employing a combination of compressed air storage and saturation (simultaneous heating and humidification) of compressed air is disclosed. The power plant includes a combustor which provides hot gas for driving a turbine. The turbine is used in conjunction with a generator to generate electrical power. The power from the turbine is accessible by a compressor system during low power demand periods. The compressor system is used to compress air which is stored in an air storage chamber. The compressed air from the air storage chamber is used by the combustor during high power demand periods, while the compressor system is shut down, to provide compressed combustion gas to the turbine. To enhance the efficiency of the plant, while further lowering the capital cost of the plant, a saturator is positioned between the storage chamber and the combustor. The saturator receives compressed air from the storage chamber and simultaneously heats and humidifies it. The resultant heated and humidified compressed air is then conveyed to the combustor, typically after further heating by a recuperator.

Abstract: A thermal transfer printing receiver sheet for use in security laminates, comprises a substrate supporting a receiver coat of a dye-receptive composition on one side and a backcoat on the other, wherein the backcoat comprises a thermoplastic polymer having a Tg less than 130 DEG  C., and dispersed therein a particulate solid material in amount 1-24% by weight of the thermoplastic polymer and an average particle size of 0.3-10  mu m. The security laminates are prpared after printing the receiver with an image, by bonding a first cover sheet of plastics material to the printed receiver coat so as to overlie the image, and a second cover sheet of plastics material can be bonded to the present backcoat more readily than to a highly crosslinked backcoat, using common adhesives. For greater security, thicker than normal backcoats are used.

Abstract: Device (1) for supporting a shuttering element running perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shuttering beam, in particular for supporting the side plate (50) of a joist shuttering, comprising a supporting frame (6, 7, 8) and a bracing device (2, 3, 4, 5, 10) which is connected to the supporting frame via connecting elements. The bracing means (2) and the engagement means (3, 10) are arranged in a toggle-lever arrangement such that, on bracing fixedly, a prestressing path along the shuttering beam (40), and thus a prestressing force perpendicularly with respect to the plane of the side plate (50), is obtained for the device (1), with the result that the joint between the side plate (50) and the base panel (51) holds in a reliably sealed manner despite the concrete pressure which arises. In a preferred embodiment, the joist clamp (1) is provided with a vertically adjustable adjustment load-bearing member (30) which can be adapted to the required joist height. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A highly controllable way to light target areas includes a primary reflector (34) which generates a defined primary beam (40) in association with a light source (30). The primary beam (40), or at least a portion of the primary beam, is directed onto a secondary reflector (42) which generates a secondary beam (44) to the target space. The secondary reflector (42) can be configured in any number of contours, shapes, specularities, or other characteristics to alter and control the characteristics of the secondary beam (44). Various options, alternatives, and features are possible with the invention. For example, a plurality of light sources (30) and primary reflectors (34) can be used with one secondary reflector (42). The surface of the secondary reflector (42) can be corrugated to have alternating segments to direct light in different directions. A combination of light source (30), primary reflector (34), and secondary reflector (42) can also be positioned on a moveable base. A plurality of secondary reflectors (42) and light sources (30) and primary reflectors (34) can be positioned on one moveable base and can be oriented in different configurations for different lighting effects. The invention can be used to light a variety of areas, including highways, spectator events and locations where significant control of light is needed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The composition of the present invention combines the local anaesthetic lidocaine in free base form and the non-CFC aerosol propellant HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane; CF3CH2F) or HFC-227 (1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane; CF3CHFCF3), or a combination thereof, thus incorporating previously-unattainable amounts of the lidocaine free base in solution in a non-CFC aerosol propellant. This particular form of relatively-concentrated cosolvent-free anaesthetic permits improved inhalation delivery to the airway and lung, and topical airway local anaesthesia is thus readily provided. A method in accordance with the invention provides for release of the anaesthetic in aerosolized form of selected dosage from a canister containing the pressurized local anaesthetic composition into a patient's respiratory system directly or by way of an airway.
