A detector that may contain a glow discharge ionizer and a photo-ionizer. The existence of both ionizers may increase the accuracy and number of chemical compounds that can be simultaneously monitored for chemical screening applications. The detector is particularly useful for screening explosives, chemical agents, and other illicit chemicals.

SE REFIERE A UNA RED QUE SE EMPLEA EN ACTIVIDADES COMO LA PESCA, ACUICULTURA, PROTECCION, DEPORTES, ENTRE OTRAS; FABRICADA CON HILOS TORCIDOS DE DOS CABOS, LO CUAL OPTIMIZA LA CARGA DE ROTURA DE LA RED Y ASI OBTENER UNA MEJOR RELACION DE CARGA DE ROTURA A PESO RESPECTO DE UNA RED SIMILAR FABRICADA CON HILO DE TRES CABOS. DONDE EL HILO ES DE FIBRA SINTETICA TAL COMO POLIAMIDA, POLIESTER, POLIETILEN...

The present invention relates to a device for recirculation of exhaust gases of a combustion engine (1). The recirculating exhaust gases are intended to be led from an exhaust line (3) of the combustion engine (1) via a return line (9) to an inlet line (7) which is intended to lead air to the combustion engine (1). The device (11) can be fitted close to a connection between the return line (9) and...

A method and a device for photocatalytic oxidation of organic substances in air on a photocatalytic surface of semiconductive metal oxide, air containing the organic substances being caused to flow over the photocatalytic surface and the surface being irradiated with activating light. The relative humidity of the air (RHair) and/or the temperature of the photocatalytic surface (Tcat) are regulated...

A method for making a semiconductor device may include forming a superlattice including a plurality of stacked groups of layers, with each group of layers comprising a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions. The method may also ...

The method is for modifying the data in a system for transactions by card, where the card is with a memory, and a reader can read the card when it is in a determined position with respect to the reader. The memory is read-only, erasable and re-writable, and comprises two counter stages (A,B) for registering the data values with respect to transactions effected by the card. Each transaction involve...

This invention relates in general to the method of harnessing the power of wind to generate electricity, pump air/water, operate machinery, do work, and the like. The method varies the catch area that catches the wind, the catch area having a variable catch factor. In particular, the method varies the shape, size, plane, surface area, texture, and any combinations thereof, of said catch area. Furt...

In a secondary system of high temperature carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas stream it is known to employ electrical elements, or inert gas heated tubing , inside a tubular spherical or rectangular furnace, to which is attached any number of oxygen selective or permeable membranes and a solid carbon removal trap and sequestration subsystem. The membranes will extract and provide for the format...

This invention finds application in the field of liquid distributing devices, and more particularly relates to a sprinkler head device, for example for use in sprinkler systems for distributing liquids or the like. The device comprises a support body to be removably coupled to a sleeve for connection to an external liquid supply line, a convergent nozzle between the body and the sleeve, and a dive...

The single-dose container for liquids and/or solids comprises a wrapper (2) having at least an opening (3) and at least a straw (4) arranged sealedly across the opening (3) and extending internally of the wrapper (2), as well as projecting externally of the wrapper (2).

An antipanic handle, of the type which comprises a frame (11) to be fixed horizontally to the face of a door (12) to which a longitudinal body (13), pushable to actuate the lock (14) associated with the door (12), is rigidly coupled. Advantageously, the antipanic handle (10) comprises at least one photoluminescent element (24), which is integrated in the pushable longitudinal body (13) in a positi...
