A second branch well may also extend from the main access well and may contain a disposal assembly that is...

PURPOSE:To perform exhaust gas recombustion combined cycle operation without dropping the output of power generation by a steam turbine by measuring the outlet/inlet temp. difference of a condenser circulating water, and therewith controlling each condensate rate of flow on the supply water heater side and the economizer side. CONSTITUTION:A boiler 1 generates steam by using the exhaust gas 27 fro...

The carriage (12, fig. 1) of a mobile X-ray unit (10, fig. 1) is moved by application of force on a force sensing handle 200 engaged with the carriage by two strain gauge assemblies 210, 212. These assemblies provide signals 244, 252 to motor drive control circuits 195, 197 which drive motors 176, 174 to control independently the direction and magnitude of two driven wheels (17, 178, fig. 7), acco...

An automatically controlled cutting machine for working on limp sheet material utilizes positive air pressure and vacuum to hold the material in place during a work operation. The level of the pressure is set or regulated with a pressure sensor to develop an appropriate holddown force and to minimize the disturbance to the material surrounding the work operation. The distribution of the airflow on...

Human pre-formed xenoantibodies play an important role in the hyperacute rejection response in human xenotransplantation. Disclosed are materials and methods for removing or neutralizing such antibodies. Also disclosed are materials and methods for reducing or eliminating the epitopes in the donor organs that are recognized by such antibodies. Such epitopes are formed as the result of activity by ...

A method and a device for separating a component, such as fibrin I from blood, by centrifugation. The method involves feeding of blood admixed an anticlotter to a first annular chamber in a device, where the annular chamber is defined by a cylindrical outer wall and a cylindrical inner wall, both walls extending coaxially about a common axis, as well as by a top wall and a bottom wall, where the t...

The present invention refers to a process and relative plant for the disposal and recycling of waste, both of urban and industrial origins. The process and plants are based on cryogenic technology, that is on the principle of putting waste into contact with a cryogenic fluid, with the aim of weakening, separating and reducing in volume the waste to be disposed of and recycled. The process is intri...

A control system for a hybrid vehicle including a traction motor (3) which drives a drive shaft (2) of the vehicle by electrical energy and has a regenerative function of converting kinetic energy of the drive shaft (2) into electrical energy, a transmission (4) arranged between driving wheels (5) of the vehicle and an internal combustion engine (1) of the vehicle and the traction motor (3), and a...

The sheet delivery facility has a switching coupling (11) by means of which the drum (7) of the facility can be stopped. The coupling is located between a toothed wheel (6) joined to the drum and the drum itself. The toothed wheel rotates on the shaft (10) of the delivery facility's drum, and the coupling may be fitted on the side of the toothed wheel facing away from the drum. With the coupling i...

Graphite powder having a mean particle size not larger than 30 mu m is added to a negative electrode plate for a lead storage battery. Preferably, the amount of graphite powder added is in the range of from 0.3 % to 2 % by weight. Preferably, vein powder is used as the graphite powder. More preferably, 0.3 % or more by weight of an organic expander is added.

The valve consists of a strip -1- onto which two coplanar strips -3, 4- are welded separated by an opening -5-. Production of the valve takes a strip -11- onto which two strips -12, 13- are welded separated by a space -5-. The valve obtained -16- is welded onto a laminar -17-, which forms part of the inflatable, with a hole -19- which has to coincide with the valve opening -5-. Next the first shee...

The invention relates to a computer system for data management including at least the management of data relating to the trading of warrants (citi CATS-OS), comprising a data processing system (1), an input unit (2), a display unit (3) and a data input (5), wherein the display unit (3) displays a first mask having a format allowing the input of a request for specific data by the input unit (2), th...

A novel technique to treat post-consumer polyester for reuse in food-contact applications is described. The process comprises contacting contaminated post consumer polyester flake with at least one extraction solvent which is soluble in said contaminated flake at a temperature sufficient to allow rapid diffusion of contaminants from said polyester flake; and removing said extraction solvent contai...
