Patent EP-0293206-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALDERSON EDGAR DEAN
IPC: F02C6/00
Filed: 1988-05-26
Abstract: The use of hot gas generators which produce corrosive or abrasive products of combustion have precluded the use of gas turbines in a direct flow path of the combustion products. It is preferable to utilize non-contact gas to gas heat exchangers in order to transfer heat from a hot gas stream to a working fluid. A first heat exchanger (116) connected to a gas furnace (110) is used to raise the temperature of inlet gas (120) to an air turbine (101). A second heat exchanger (140) is used to raise the temperature (prewarm) of discharge air (118) supplied from a compressor (102) to the air turbine air inlet, the second heat exchanger connected to the air turbine exhaust (142). A third heat exchanger (170) may preheat the air input (166) into the furnace.

Abstract: Un procédé permettant d'évaluer le type de couleur de diamants consiste à soumettre les diamants à un rayonnement laser de longueurs d'ondes différentes et à produire une valeur numérique caractéristique du type de couleur du diamant sur la base des intensités mesurées du rayonnement de RAMAN diffus qui en résulte pour au moins deux longueurs d'ondes de rayonnement incident différentes. On peut déterminer le type de couleur du diamant en comparant les intensités relatives obtenues pour chaque diamant avec les intensités de diamants de références qui ont été déterminées par une évaluation subjective standard. Ledit procédé peut également être utilisé pour trier des diamants selon leur type de couleur.

Abstract: This invention relates to a medical branch pipe equipped with a plug member which is separable upon fracture. The branch pipe consists of a rigid pipe body having at least two openings and a plug member having an open portion which is fixed to one of the openings of the pipe body, a closed portion, and a fracture portion which permits separation from the pipe body upon fracture at a portion other than the fixing portion. The Shore hardness of the plug member is from 68 to 76. Air-tightness and adhesion between the plug member and the pipe body are further improved, and the plug member is free from possible contamination before use, and its fracture property is not lowered at the time of use. Damage to the plug member by external force at times other than at the time of use is very unlikely, and external contamination of the pipe body can be avoided. The plug member is protected around its outer periphery with a protective member having such hardness as not to prevent the fracture at the fracture portion. Therefore, the safe protecting property of the plug member is more excellent and the fracture of the plug member becomes further easier.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE88/00329 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 24, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 24, 1989 PCT Filed Jun. 4, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/09974 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 15, 1988.In a method for determining a route between a starting point and a destination which are located on a digitally memorized road map, the problem is to perform the necessary calculations for determining the route within a short time, even for extensive road systems. Otherwise, the results could arrive too late and could no longer lend the driver any aid in making a decision. The object is attained by dividing the road map into at least two levels of different grid density and regional size and storing it in memory. A plurality of smaller subregions of fine grid density are assigned to the lower level, and one or more larger subregions of coarser grid density are assigned to the higher level. Beginning with the lower level of the road map, a possible route is then studied; if the results are negative, a transition is made to the next-higher level, until a positive result is attained. Then the route is plotted within whatever level a positive result was attained in, for instance in the same level or back and forth between the levels.

Filed: 1988-11-17
Abstract: This invention employs an entirely novel full periphery surrounding type electrode structure for the electrode shape for supplying power to a thermal head and thus makes one discrete electrode correspond to one heat generating portion without separating independently a heat-generating resistor. In this manner the present invention makes it possible to improve heat generation efficiency in printing. to improve thermal response and to reduce power consumption. Furthermore, since the invention employs the structure wherein the heat-generating resistor completely covers the full periphery surrounding type electrode portion, non-uniformity of the resistance value of each dot resulting from non-uniformity of the printing width of the resistor is eliminated but the resistance values are made completely uniform by a power supply overload trimming system, thermal efficiency and thermal response are improved, and a high reliability thermal head capable of high quality printing can be accomplished by eliminating a non-uniform density of printing of each dot and improving gradation recordability.
