Abstract: The delivery system is designed so that the compressed air delivery valve (14) can be bridged by a bypass (13). With each delivery operation of the dry mortar, the compressed air delivery valve is controlled on CLOSED for the beginning of the charging time. The cross-section of the passage of the delivery valve and of the bypass are sized in such a manner, that a normally needed delivery amount at 50-70 percent flows through the bypass, 50-30 percent flows through the delivery valve.

Abstract: A method of gas liquefaction wherein the refrigeration to cool and liquefy an essentially water-free feed gas (100) is provided by a single recirculating mixed refrigerant cycle in which refrigeration is provided by the vaporization of two mixed refrigerant streams of different compositions at a lower and higher pressure levels respectively. A lower pressure level vaporizing refrigerant cools the feed gas stream (100) in a first cooling zone (106) and a higher pressure level vaporizing refrigerant further cools and condenses the cooled gas in a second cooling zone (124) to provide the final liquid product (136). The lower pressure level vaporizing refrigerant is provided by one or more liquids obtained by ambient cooling of compressed mixed refrigerant vapor (176). The vaporized lower pressure level refrigerant (114) can be returned to the refrigerant compressor at a temperature below ambient, without further warming, and this cool refrigerant (114) is compressed and combined with the vaporized higher pressure level refrigerant (176), which is returned at about ambient temperature. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Connection elements such as link connectors used with automatic cut-out switches, often use riveted connections for fixing the two shell walls of the switch housing together, resulting in increased manufacturing costs. To avoid these additional costs, the connection element has a approximately cylindrical-shaped basic body (34) with a first external diameter, to which are molded split arms (37-40), the outer diameter of which is less than that of the outer diameter of the basic body, and whose free ends have radially-protruding noses (41,42) on opposite lying side-lines.

Abstract: A system for individually controlling the power levels of a plurality of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical signals in a single optical guide comprising optical attenuation means comprising a plurality of individually controllable optical attenuators. An example of a suitable optical attenuator is a tunable fibre Bragg grating filter whose reflectivity characteristic varies with wavelength over an active region thereof. By tuning the filter, it is possible to control the reflectivity at a particular wavelength in the active region. The system may, in addition, comprise a second plurality of optical attenuators arranged so as to compensate for any power level distortion introduced by the first plurality. Optical circulators may be used to route signals into and between the pluralities of optical attenuators.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus is described wherein for a device for controlling the flow of fluid. A housing having an inlet for receiving the fluid, an outlet for discharging the fluid, and a bore connecting the inlet to the outlet is provided. A piston is disposed in the bore and has a through bore for permitting the flow of the fluid through the piston. A valve member is disposed in the bore of the piston and adapted to engage an internal surface of the piston to block fluid flow through the piston and therefore through the housing, the piston responding to an increase in pressure at the outlet as a result of the fluid flow for moving in a direction toward the valve member until the valve member engages the piston surface to restrict fluid flow. A stop member is disposed in the housing and extends into the bore of the piston for stopping movement of the piston after it engages the valve member. Further, the embodiment includes means for normally positioning the valve member away from the surface so that fluid flows through the piston.

Abstract: A method and apparatus increase the temperature of a fuel cell via reactant starvation at one or both electrodes. Reactant starvation at an electrode results in an increased overvoltage at the electrode and hence increased internal heat generation under load. Further, starvation techniques may be used to prevent poisoning of electrode catalysts, a potential problem that is aggravated at lower temperatures. Starvation conditions can be prolonged or intermittent and can be obtained, for example, by suitably reducing the supply rate of a reactant or by operating the fuel cell at sufficiently high current density so as to consume reactant faster than it is supplied. The method can allow for some generation of useful power by the fuel cell during start-up. The method is particularly suitable for starting up a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell from temperatures below 0° C.

Abstract: A diagnostic medical instrument adapted to determine whether a patient is suffering from a pre-shock, shock, or shock-related condition. The instrument is used in a capillary filling time CFT test procedure in which a skin area in the patient which overlies blood-filled capillaries which normally display a pink color is depressed to expel blood from the capillaries and impart white color to the skin at which point the pressure is released to permit blood to flow back into the capillaries and cause the skin to regain its pink color. The instrument includes a color sensor trained on the sign area and responsive to light reflected therefrom to produce a first signal at the point in time the skin color turns from pink to white and to later produce a second signal at the point in time at which the skin color has turned from white to pink. The time elapsing between the first and second signals is measured to provide a CFT index indicative of the patient's condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the requirement of security in an ad hoc network. More particularly it relates to the problem within ad hoc networks, not having on-line connections to a particular server for getting desired public keys or certificates, required to create trust relations. Within an ad hoc communication network, some of the nodes have a mutual trust relation to each other, thus constituting a trust group. An additional node within the network is being a candidate node for joining the trust group. An X-node is identified, being a member of a trust group and having a trust relation with the candidate node. The X-node distributes trust relations between the members of the trust group and the candidate node. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method is for controlling the cooking temperature in a continuous vapour phase digester for chip-shaped cellulose material. A high pressure is established in the vapour phase largely by means of steam, without risk of attaining excessively high temperatures in the cooking. A temperature-controlled supply of cooking liquor in close proximity to the surface of the liquor level is introduced to obtain a protective liquor surface with a temperature lower than the vapour phase. A lower initial cooking temperature is obtained in the cooking zone, which ensures that the exothermic cooking process does not lead to the attainment of temperatures detrimental to the pulp quality.

Abstract: Data representing a postal address (30) is retrieved from a coded address database (6) representing, in the form of a tree of coded postal address elements (27, 28, 29), a multiplicity of postal addresses. A dictionary (4) formed as a trie data structure is provided, the path from the root node (10) to the leaf nodes (11) representing respective postal address elements. A processor (2) receives input data (8) comprising one or more input terms (8a, 8b) for finding a postal address (30) represented in the address database (6). The processor (2) searches the dictionary (4) for entries (31) exactly corresponding to the search terms and for entries (32a, 32b, 32c) allowing for the possibility of the input data containing one or more errors. The processor then finds, by reference to a location index (5), the matched coded postal address elements (27a, 27b, 28a, 28b, 28c) corresponding to the entries (31, 32a, 32b, 32c) in the dictionary (4) determined by the processor (2) as corresponding to the input terms (8a, 8b).
