Abstract: The present invention implements a power generation system in which an
improved efficiency of fuel combustion and effective purification of exhaust gas can
be attained with the use of radiation energies caused by alpha-decay of a natural
radioactive element. Namely, radiation energies and neutrons caused by alpha-decay
of the natural radioactive element which emits 0.6 becquerels/g or more of
alpha rays are irradiated to a supply fuel and intake air, necessary for combustion in
a combustion equipment in a power generation system using a fossil fuel, to
transform oxygen contained in the intake air into active oxygen which is to be used in
a fuel activator (5) and air activator (2) to implement a complete combustion of the
mixture of the intake air and supply fuel. Also, a neutron irradiator (3) is provided
to irradiate neutrons also caused by the alpha-decay. A water activator (9) with an
aeration unit is provided to activate water supplied to a steam generator. In
addition, an exhaust gas purifier (7) with an aeration unit is provided to purify the
exhaust gas from the combustion equipment.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un amortisseur de rotation (1) pour un véhicule qui roule sur des rails. Cet amortisseur possède un piston (9) et des parties de cylindre (2) se déplaçant l'un par rapport à l'autre. Cet amortisseur présente des caractéristiques de friction, c'est à dire que la connexion par fluide avec le piston ne consiste pas en un orifice ouvert en permanence mais comprend également des soupapes à ressort (11). En vue de faciliter l'installation de ces amortisseurs, on propose de fabriquer une connexion séparée entre le cylindre qui fonctionne et le réservoir où se trouve une soupape que l'on peut actionner manuellement. Cette soupape, en cours de fonctionnement, établit une connexion et ainsi le piston et le cylindre peuvent se déplacer l'un par rapport à l'autre, au moyen d'une force manuelle.

IPC: A61M1/12
Filed: 2001-11-16
Abstract: The invention relates to an intracardiac rotating pump (10) which is provided with a differential pressure sensor (18) for supporting a pumping heart.  The differential pressure sensor measures the differential pressure between the aorta (AO) and the left ventricle (LV).  Said difference in pressure must correspond to defined set values at different speed stages.  If said differential pressure is very different from said set value, the difference is recognised as a drift of the pressure sensor and in accordance therewith a correction value is determined, wherein the subsequent measured pressure values are corrected.  Due to said invention, it is possible to carryout a drift correction of the pressure sensor in a pump located in the heart even when a pump is in operation.

Abstract: The object is to gently stop a pull-in member and to prevent
a large impact force from being exerted on the pull-in
member or a member disposed near the pull-in member and
affected by the pulling-in operation of the pull-in member
even when the pull-in member is pulled in by a pre-tensioner
until the pull-in member is stopped. When a wire (3) is
pulled by operation of a buckle pre-tensioner (11) at the
time of an emergency, a buckle (2) is pulled in towards a
bracket (1) while a cover (4) contracts. Before the cover
(4) contracts to a maximum permissible contraction position,
the buckle (2) comes into contact with the free end of a
shock absorbing member (14), and, then, is pulled in while
the shock absorbing member (14) is caused to contract. By
the contraction of the shock absorbing member (14), the
shock absorbing member (14) absorbs impact energy of the
buckle (2), so that shock performance is further enhanced,
and the buckle (2) can more effectively come into contact
with the free end of the shock absorbing member (14) and can
be gently stopped.

Abstract: A radiation director(24) is coupled to move under
the control of a piezoelectric element(2). The director
directs electromagnetic radiation(20) from a radiation
source(22) under the control of the piezoelectric
element. In a scanning station embodiment, an electrical 1
signal source(12) is connected to cause the piezoelectric
element to vibrate, and a radiation detector(32) is
positioned to detect radiation from an object(28) scanned

IPC: H04B1/713
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: In a first aspect the present invention provides
a method of producing an ultra wide band signal in which
(I) a carrier signal is modulated by a spreading waveform
which is a periodic deterministic wideband signal and
(II) the frequency of the carrier signal is changed by a
predetermined amount at predetermined intervals (the
reciprocal of this interval being the hopping rate),
wherein there is a harmonic relationship between the
carrier frequency, the predetermined amount of frequency
change, and the period of the spreading waveform. In
this way, an ultra wide band signal is created using both
direct sequence and frequency hopping techniques and the
signal so created may be detected using a coherent
detector at a receiver. This provides a wide bandwidth
signal, or even an 'ultra wide bandwidth' (UWB) signal
which mitigates the problems of multi-path signals
(through coherent combining across a wide bandwidth) and
also interference.
