Title: DeNOx-Katalyse
Inventor: JACOBS PIERRE
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 1998-07-09
Abstract: Die Reduktion von Stickoxiden (NOx) aus Verbrennungsabgasen von mager betriebenen
Verbrennungskraftmaschinen ist problematisch, da die in den Verbrennungsabgasen
enthaltenen Reduktionsmittel sich in einer Konkurrenzreaktion auch mit dem Sauerstoff
umsetzen. Mit selektiv wirksamen Katalysatoren (SCR) kann erst ab einer Temperatur von
200 °C eine befriedigende NOx-Umsetzung erreicht werden. 
     Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Zugabe des Reduktionsmittels bei der SCR, insbesondere bei
tiefen Temperaturen, nicht kontinuierlich, sondern gepulst mit einer sehr niedrigen Frequenz.
Hierdurch kann die NOx-Konversion bei Temperaturen um 170 °C mehr als verdoppelt werden.

the card reader from vandalism. A card gate mechanism (30) includes a gate
device (32) that is moveable between a closed position wherein it blocks the
card path (16) and an open position which allows passage of the card to the
card reader. At least one lever (34, 36, 38) has a card-engaging part (50, 52,

card-engaging levers have card-engaging parts which must be deflected by the
card leading edge to allow the gate to open, with at least one and preferably
two of the levers deflected to the side of the card path by the leading edge of
the card. The gate has a roller (100) that rolls along the top of the card when
the gate is raised, to avoid scratching the card. A well (110) lies across the
entire width of the card path between the card-passing slot and the gate device,

Abstract: A bubble detector/direction sensor for detecting the presence
of liquid and gas in a stream of liquid and gas segments flowing
through an elongated transparent tube and for sensing the direction of
flow of the stream. The sensor has first and second light sources,
first and second input fiber optic bundles, and first and second
collection fiber optic bundles. The first and second input fiber optic
bundles couple the first and second light sources to first and second
sides of the tube, respectively, so that light passes through the tube.
When the tube is filled with liquid, the light passing therethrough
from each light source passes through first and second predetermined
regions. When the tube is filled with gas, the light passing
therethrough passes outside of the predetermined regions. The first
and second collection fiber optic bundles are coupled to the second
and first sides of the tube, respectively, outside of the predetermined
regions. A circuit is provided for producing signals indicating the
presence of liquid in the tube, the presence of gas in the tube, and the
direction of flow of liquid and gas through the tube based upon the
light received by the first and second collection fiber optic bundles. 
In alternative embodiments, the sensor includes an additional
collection fiber optic bundle coupled to the second side of the tube
that is positioned within the first predetermined region. In these
embodiments, the circuit produces a signal indicating the presence of
a liquid in the tube containing a marker dye having known absorbance
characteristics based upon the light received by each of the collection
fiber optic bundles and the known absorbance characteristics.

Abstract: We have realized that for a connection over a large data network,
such as an Internet connection that couples a web access device to a terminal
server connected to a applications server, delays associated with the process
of downloading large data files over such a connection, occur primarily in the
leg of the connection that couples the applications server to a terminal
server while little congestion is typically observed in the leg of the
connection that couples the Internet access device to the terminal server. The
aforementioned delay is reduced by establishing a separate connection from
the applications server to the Point Of Presence server outside or
independently of the backbone of the large data network thereby allowing
users to receive enhanced grade of service for file transfer operations.
