Abstract: A linear power controller system may be implemented that includes looked-rotor protection circuitry that is primarily assembled using analog circuit components. The locked rotor protection circuitry may be part of a power module in the system. The power module may be a switched power source that includes temperature circuit. A control loop may be established in the system to maintain the voltage across a motor that is driver by the power module. Circuitry for establishing a close loop with a motor may be positioned in a control head in the system or in a power module in the system. Temperature protection circuitry may be integrated into a current source in the power module to provide automatic thermal shutdown of the current source. The linear power module may specifically include analog circuitry that is arranged to establish a control loop with the motor.

Title: An improved hydrocracking process
Inventor: KALNES TOM N
IPC: C10G47/00
Filed: 2002-07-02
Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: A hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and hydrogen is passed to a denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone and then directly to a hot, high pressure stripper utilizing a hot, hydrogen-rich stripping gas to produce a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream which is passed to a hydrocracking zone. The resulting effluent from the hydrocracking zone is then directly passed to the hot, high pressure stripper. A vapor stream from the hot, high pressure stripper is passed to a post-treat hydrogenation reaction zone to saturate at least a portion of the aromatic compounds contained therein.A second feedstock having an average boiling point lower than the feedstock passed to a denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone may be passed to an upper end of the hot, high pressure stripper to serve as reflux and/or to an intermediate location in the denitrification and desulfurization to serve as quench.

Title: Method for treating a flow of gas and a gas treatment system
Inventor: HILL AXEL
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 2003-09-11
Granted: 2010-11-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating a flow of gas (G), which is guided via a catalytic adsorber module (6) in order to oxidize contaminants carried along therewith. The aim of the invention is to make a reliable purification of the flow of gas (G) possible with the use of equipment that is held to a comparatively low level of complexity. To this end, the flow of gas (G) is guided in a first purification step via a first catalytic adsorber module (6) in order to oxidize contaminants carried along therewith, during which molecular or atomic oxygen is added to the flow of gas (G), and the flow of gas (G) mixed with the added oxygen is guided in a second purification step via an oxidation catalyst (8). The flow of gas (G) flowing away from the oxidation catalyst (8) is guided in a third purification step via a second catalytic adsorber module (6) in order to reduce excessive oxygen.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne d'une manière générale un système permettant d'interfacer un dispositif d'échantillonnage et un chromatographe et de préconcentrer des analytes dans un échantillon avant l'introduction de l'échantillon dans la colonne chromatographique, lequel système comprend un boîtier d'interface doté d'un premier canal et un boîtier d'adsorbant doté d'un deuxième canal et contenant au moins un adsorbant. Des conduits dépourvus de soupape permettent à un fluide de circuler entre le dispositif d'échantillonnage et le premier canal, entre le premier canal et le deuxième canal et entre le premier canal et la colonne. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le fluide s'écoule dans un sens lorsque les analytes sont adsorbés et s'écoule dans le sens opposé lorsque les analytes sont désorbés. Dans certains modes de réalisation, deux adsorbants différents sont introduits dans le deuxième canal afin qu'ils adsorbent différents types d'analytes.

IPC: F03D11/00

Granted: 2009-07-14
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de fonctionnement d'une éolienne, qui consiste à enregistrer les valeurs de paramètres de fonctionnement prédéfinis au moyen de capteurs appropriés, à enregistrer au moins une condition limite prédéfinie et à comparer les valeurs enregistrées avec des valeurs mémorisées des paramètres de fonctionnement. Cette invention concerne également une éolienne permettant la mise en oeuvre dudit procédé. L'objectif de cette invention est de pouvoir adapter le fonctionnement d'une éolienne à des modifications. A cet effet, selon le procédé susmentionné, lorsque les valeurs de paramètres enregistrées diffèrent des valeurs de paramètres mémorisées et en fonction de la condition limite, soit les valeurs de paramètres mémorisées sont adaptées aux valeurs de paramètres enregistrées, soit le fonctionnement de l'éolienne est influencé en fonction des valeurs de paramètres enregistrées. Cette invention repose sur le fait que, d'un point de vue pragmatique, même le givrage d'une pale de rotor entraîne une modification (temporaire, attribuable aux conditions météorologiques) de la forme de la pale. Pour cette raison, un givrage des pales d'une éolienne entraîne toujours une modification du profil aérodynamique et nuit, ainsi, au rendement de l'éolienne. Toutefois, des divergences des pales de rotor par rapport à la forme optimale prédéfinie résultant de la fabrication et des divergences par rapport à ladite forme résultant de l'encrassement graduel des pales de rotor en cours de fonctionnement induisent également des différences de rendement.
