Title: Apparatus for measuring the calorific power carried by a flow of combustible matter
IPC: G01N31/12
Filed: 1989-01-27
Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: To determine the calorific value of the combustible energy-carrying matter, particularly in gaseous form, flowing in a pipe (1), the combustible matter is burnt in a combustion chamber (110) suitable for measuring a small known fraction (qgas) of the mass flow rate (Qgas) of the matter. The air-fuel ratio (f) applying to the combustion in the chamber (110) is measured by means of a measuring circuit (104'). The mass flow rate of the air (qair) used for the combustion in a pipe (103) is measured by means of a measuring device (106). A computer (160) is used to deduce the calorific value (Pu) of the matter flowing in the pipe (1) from the measurements of the mass flow rate of the air (qair) used for the combustion flowing in the pipe (103) and from the measurement of the air-fuel ratio (f). In a variant, the air-fuel ratio (f) may be adjusted using a control circuit (104). <IMAGE>

Title: Valve device, particularly a ventilation valve for the vent pipe of a vehicle fuel tank
IPC: F16K24/00
Filed: 1989-11-01
Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: Combined ''roll-over'' and float valve for the vent pipe from a vehicle fuel tank. The valve has a valve closing member (8) with a float (11) which, when liquid penetrates into the valve housing (1), lifts the valve closing member towards the valve seat (13). Normally, the valve housing is empty of liquid, and is vertically positioned, with the valve closing member resting on a ball (15) in a conical depression (16) in a slideable plunger (17). If the valve is tilted, the ball moves laterally and pushes the valve closing member to its closed position. If the valve is turned upside down and liquid flows in through the inlet, the valve is kept closed by virtue of the fact that the total weight of the ball, the plunger and the valve closing member is greater than the lifting force of the float.

Abstract: A plurality of clean gas collection units (9), equipped with numerous filter cartridges (11), are accommodated in a multideck manner one above the other in a housing (1). Each clean gas collection unit (9) is composed of a plurality of parallel collection channels (10), which are arranged in the manner of a gridiron with intermediate spaces. The collection channels are connected to vertical clean gas tubes (12) which open into a clean gas chamber. All of the built-in components form a self-supporting, detachable module, which can be thermally deformed independently of the housing (1). The device has the advantage in particular that the gas to be cleaned flows parallel to the filter cartridges vertically downwards, avoiding cross streams. The clean gas tubes (12), into the open ends of which project short, straight propellant gas tubes (18), are used for feeding flushing gas to the filter cartridges (11). The device is particularly suitable for removing dust from hot streams of gas which are under elevated pressure.

Abstract: A personal computer has two memory banks (12,14) respectively connected to two parity check units (16,18) operative to detect parity errors. Upon doing so, each unit (16,18) feeds a parity error signal to a separate latch (22,24). The latches (22,24) are connected to a logic circuit (26) which is in turn connected to an interrupt controller (34) that initiates an interrupt (36) when a parity error occurs. One latch (22) is further connected to a check bit (41) of a register (40) of an I/O port (38) and the check bit (41) is set by the one latch (22). An interrupt handler reads the register and provides messages indicating which memory bank (12,14) caused the parity error.

Abstract: A cementless metallic artificial hip cup which is covered on its outside with multi-layer metal fabric (4) and which consists of an inner shell (1) and an outer shell (2) which form between them a cavity. The inner shell (1) and outer shell (2) are connected to one another at their edges in a gastight manner so that no particles can escape from the cavity (5) to the surrounding area. In contrast to the inner shell (1), the outer shell (2) is designed with a thin wall and is highly elastic. Arranged in the cavity (5) are elastic transmission elements (3) which bear on the inner shell (1) and on the outer shell (2). Upon primary anchoring, the outer shell engages in a bead (10) running around the edge of the metal fabric (4) in order to snap into a matching undercut in the bone tissue (17). As a result of the elastic resilience of the outer shell (2), upon loading of the artificial hip joint towards the bone tissue (17) which is being incorporated, a state of equilibrium is established which substantially prohibits local stress peaks.

The holder device is further provided with a retaining stirrup (6, 7) pivotal to an operative position for engagement with the frame tube (5) of the cycle. The retaining stirrup is connected by the intermediary of joints (8) to the support channel (1), which is, in its turn, secured with a releasable, U-shaped yoke (10) in the region of the connection between the retaining stirrup (6, 7) and the support channel (1), on a strut (3) disposed transversely across the vehicle roof. In order to prevent unauthorised removal of the holder device, with a cycle secured therein, from the strut (3), the stirrup (6, 7) is, according to the invention, provided, at the joints (8), with detent portions (12) which, in the operative position of the retaining stirrup (6, 7), cover an aperture (11) through which a locking heel on one shank of the yoke (10) must be passed on removal of the yoke (10). By pivoting the retaining stirrup (6, 7), when the cycle is removed, to an inoperative position, the aperture (11) is exposed so that the yoke (10) may be removed. The other end of the yoke (10) is provided with an excenter lock.

Title: Process for the preparation of chlorine-resistant polyester semipermeable membranes
IPC: C08L33/14
Filed: 1990-03-16
Granted: 1992-12-30
Abstract: Semipermeable membranes comprising polyesters which are resistant to chlorine are prepared by casting on a porous support backing material either a solution comprising a blend of a polymeric hydroxyalkyl acrylate and a polymeric monocarboxylic acid, or a polymeric polycarboxylic acid, or a solution containing a prepolymer which has been formed by the reaction of a polymeric hydroxyalkyl acrylate with an acryloyl halide or an anhydride of a dicarboxylic acid. The porous support backing material is contacted with the solution at contacting conditions, following which the excess solution is removed and the solution-coated porous support backing material is then cured at curing conditions. This membrane will possess excellent characteristics of salt rejection and flux as well as being resistant to the action of chlorine which is present in water which is subjected to a desalination process.
