Patent EP-1355103-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KIRKEGAARD KIM S
IPC: F16L59/14
Filed: 2003-04-03
Abstract: The present invention relates to pre-insulated pipes for e.g. district heating,
district cooling etc., said pipe comprising a medium conveying pipe, an
insulating material surrounding at least a part of the length of the medium
conveying pipe and a jacket pipe at least partly surrounding the insulating
material. The novel aspects include that the pipe comprises a layer of
polymeric material at least partly surrounding the insulating material, the
layer of polymeric material comprising at least one layer of a material or
combination of materials being permeable to water or water vapour, and
having significantly better properties than PE for resistance against diffusion
of oxygen and carbon dioxide, where said material or combination of
materials includes at least one of the materials PVDC, PA and EVOH. By the
invention it is obtained that any water vapour is allowed to escape from the
insulation material, but also that carbon dioxide is kept within the insulation
material and thereby avoiding an amount of ambient oxygen to build up in the
insulating material.

the jaw means (6, 6'); the adjusting device (23) has
traction means (25) fitted movably to the jaw means (6,
6') and exerting pull on the tube (3) of packaging
material, and a cam assembly (26) for controlling and
activating travel of the traction means (25) at a
predetermined station (27) along the path (P); and the
cam assembly (26) has fixed first interaction means (30),
and second interaction means (32) carried by the jaw
means (6, 6'), connected to the traction means (25), and
cooperating with the first interaction means (30) by
virtue of the movement of the jaw means (6, 6') along the

Abstract: Feed for the culture of aquatic organisms, in particular of filter feeding
organisms like rotifers or  Artemia , containing at least partially dried algae
and/or yeast. The feed comprises a gelled body, at least 30% by weight of
which is formed by a gelling agent and water. The advantage of the
present invention is that algae or yeast released from the gel when
introduced in the culture medium hardly clog together compared to non-gelled
diets. This way, the particle size of the released feed in the culture
medium is appropriate for the prey organisms.

Abstract: A stabilizer system including stabilizer control portions which
change respective elastic forces of front-wheel-side and rear-wheel-side
stabilizer bars. When an abnormality occurs to one of
the stabilizer control portions, the other control portion is
controlled according to a changed control rule corresponding to
the abnormality. In the case where the front-wheel-side stabilizer
control portion 20 is abnormally fixed to a damping-force
producing mode, the rear-wheel-side stabilizer control portion 22
is controlled to the damping-force producing mode. In the case
where the front-wheel-side stabilizer control portion 20 is
abnormally fixed to an elastic-force producing mode, the rear-wheel-side
stabilizer control portion 22 is controlled according to
a normal control rule. Since the control rule is changed according
to the nature of the abnormality, the vehicle can enjoy improved
running stability.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif catalytique à échange de chaleur interne qui peut être utilisé notamment dans des véhicules équipés d'un moteur à combustion interne ou dans des moteurs fixes dont l'échappement contient une certaine quantité de composants gazeux non brûlés qui peuvent être convertis dans le catalyseur. Le catalyseur décrit permet d'obtenir une température maximale sensiblement constante, indépendante de la température à l'entrée. Ce catalyseur peut par conséquent être conçu de manière à fonctionner à une température très spécifique, ce qui permet d'une part d'assurer une combustion améliorée et plus sûre des composants imbrûlés, et d'autre part de réduire les dépenses en matériaux de catalyse. Le gaz d'échappement est guidé à travers le catalyseur (1) par au moins trois sections de passages entre lesquels se produit un échange de chaleur interne réciproque. La section (3) de passage réactionnel principale contient un ou plusieurs types de matériaux de catalyse (4), assurant la réaction des gaz, et dans lesquels un échange de chaleur se produit entre les gaz et la section principale du passage de transfert de chaleur adjacent. Cette conception spécifique augmente l'efficacité de l'échangeur de chaleur à mesure que les réactions chimiques dans le catalyseur ralentissent, et vice versa. Le dispositif catalytique s'autorégule ainsi de manière autonome à la température adéquate, de manière à permettre un déroulement précis de toutes les réactions dans le dispositif catalytique.
