The invention relates to a method of controlling a PFBC power plant in the event of an operational disturbance affecting a turbine unit driven by the plant, for example a load drop out, said plant comprising a bed vessel (12) enclosed within a pressure vessel (10) and surrounded by compressed combustion air, said bed vessel containing a bed (22) of fluidizable particulate material, and a gas turbi...

An adjustment device for seats, particularly motor vehicle seats, having a transmission, particularly a planetary gear transmission, and further including a drive shaft (2) which can be rotated by a drive device (4) coupled therewith. The mass moment of inertia acting on the drive shaft (2) can be increased by at least one mass body (15) that is operatively connected with the drive shaft (2).

For use in ophthalmic surgery, the surgeon has available a supply of "spare parts" which are artificial members, possibly simulating different components of the eye, that are suited, depending on their structural forms and shapes, for surgical implantation in the eye as and/or in connection with repair and/or reinforcement and/or replacement structures for damaged or diseased eye components. The m...

The present invention relates to precursor adhesive coating compositions which optionally contain water, which are particularly suitable for being admixed with at least one supercritical fluid used as a viscosity reduction diluent and then spraying this resultant liquid mixture of supercritical fluid and precursor adhesive coating composition onto a substrate to be coated. Processes for spraying t...
