Title: Method and system for energy efficient torrefaction of biomass
Inventor: BURMAN JONAS
IPC: C10L9/08
Filed: 2016-01-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for torrefaction of biomass and combustion of generated torrefaction gases. The torrefaction gases released from the biomass during the torrefaction reaction are withdrawn from the reactor and into a first burning zone. A secondary stream of air is introduced to the first burning zone to combust the torrefaction gases whereupon hot flue gases are obtained. Part of the hot flue gases are directed to a mixing unit. The rest of the hot flue gas is directed to a second burning zone for complete combustion of the flue gases. The fully combusted flue gases obtained in the second burning zone are directed to a heat recovery unit where the temperature of the flue gas is decreased. Part of the cold flue gases are directed to the mixing unit where it is mixed with the hot flue gases such that a stream of cooled flue gases is obtained. The stream of the cooled flue gases are diverted into the torrefaction reactor for direct heating of the biomass.

Title: Externally pressurized porous media gas bearing for use in valves and preventing fugitive emissions of the same
Inventor: DEVITT ANDREW
IPC: F16C32/06
Filed: 2016-03-14
Abstract: In order to drastically improve the functionality of flow control, externally-pressurized porous media gas bearings is introduced into valves. The porous media gas bearings mitigate two of the biggest issues with the current technology, which are: (1) leakage of fugitive emissions, and (2) high breakaway torque values for actuating valves. By employing externally-pressurized porous media bearings, fugitive emissions are completely eliminated, and valves can be rotated effortlessly due to the non-contact nature of porous media gas bearings.

Abstract: In a tool for cutting circles into drywall or other soft material such as cardboard, paper, etc.... It is known to have a (nail or pin) part, which you push into the material to anchor the tool into the material to be cut. In all models, this part is protruding and can become a safety issue. In this invention, the (nail or pin) part is retractable, making the tool friendlier and safer to use. Also, the knife part is usually adjusted along a bar, that knife part is not retractable or removable. In this invention, the bar has a multitude of slots with the size of the cut written by each slot. Therefore, a knife is inserted into the slot and guided into a circular motion, thus cutting the drywall or other material with the protuberance of the knife's tip on the underside of the bar. When the cut of the desired circle size is done, the knife is removed and the (nail or pin) part is retracted, leaving this circle cutter with no sharp protuberance left to hurt anyone. Making this circle cutter safer and friendlier to use and faster as there is no adjustment needed, just insert the knife and cut.

Abstract: The invention provides a solution for secure authentication of an individual. The invention comprises methods and apparatus for secure input of a user's identifier e.g. PIN. An image of a keypad is superimposed over an operable keypad within a display zone of a screen associated with an electronic device. The keypad i mage and/or the operable keypad are generated by the device using a scrambled or randomised keypad configuration generated on or at the electronic device. The configuration or order of keys depicted in the image may or may not be scrambled or randomised. Thus, t he order of keys depicted in the image do not correspond to the order of the keys in the operable keypad, so that when the user selects a 'key' depicted in the image on the screen, the underlying operable keypad is caused to operate and an encoded version of the user's input is received into memory on the device. The encoded input can be sent for decoding on a remote computer. The keypad configurations used for generation of the operable keypad(s) and/or keypad image(s) are generated using an inpu t. The input could be a true or pseudo random number or biometric data relating to a user of the device. The device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, laptop, PC, payment ter minal or any other electronic computing device with a screen.

IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 2016-06-14
Abstract: Un vêtement de compression élastique selon l'invention comprend une partie centrale principale et de multiples sangles qui s'étendent latéralement à partir de la partie centrale principale. Des encoches peuvent être prévues à l'endroit où les sangles rencontrent la partie centrale principale, et peuvent être formées dans la partie centrale principale de manière adjacente aux sangles respectives.
