A closed-cycle gas turbine chemical processor separates the functions of combustion air and dilution fluid in a gas turbine combustor. The output of the turbine stage of the gas turbine is cooled and recirculated to its compressor from where a proportion is fed to a dilution portion of its combustor and the remainder is fed to a chemical recovery system wherein at least carbon dioxide is recovered...

The method according to the invention enables the determination of colour differences and colour deviations such as, for example, colour differences in specific manufacturing processes whose detection serves the purpose of rejecting useless parts. In the method, comparative measurements are performed in a multiplicity of spectrum regions of radiation reflected from the specimen. At the same time, ...

The subject-matter of the application is a navigation method for vehicles, having an indication of the instantaneous location, determined by integrated navigation, in a position plan. In order to make it easier to drive over a predetermined route, a coding pin is used to drive over the driving route on a map before the start of the drive, and this route is stored by means of a large number of coor...

The invention provides a method of treating thrombo-embolic conditions, stress and/or visceral cellular insufficiency in mammals, the method comprising administering to the mammal effective amounts of creatine-phosphate and creatine-phosphokinase. The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition suitable for use it the method.

Ethylene glycol is prepared by a process in which ethylene oxide is extracted from an aqueous solution with near-critical or super-critical carbon dioxide. Thereafter an ethylene oxide-carbon dioxide-water mixture is contacted with a catalyst to form ethylene carbonate, which is then hydrolyzed to ethylene glycol in the presence of the same catalyst. The ethylene glycol is separated as product and...

An automatic selvedger has a pair of longitudinally spaced and transversely throughgoing main rolls rotatable about respective parallel axes and guides and a drive that pass the web longitudinally and continuously from one of the main rolls to the other main roll in a travel direction perpendicular to the roll axes and with the web spanned tightly longitudinally between the main rolls and lying ge...

Apparatus and method for splicing the ends of spun yarn by inserting the yarn ends into two air jet nozzles, in which they are doubled and subjected to an air jet to join them each other. Yarn end cutting and holding devices for the top yarn and the bottom yarn and automatic yarn inserting devices are disposed at each end of the jet nozzles.

Solid materials having a flash point of less than 500 DEG C. are rendered fire alarming by providing for the presence thereon of micro capsules containing a bromofluoroalkane having a critical temperature of at least 100 DEG C., the micro capsules having an external diameter of from 200 to 260 microns, and the wall of the capsules consisting of a polymer, treated to release the bromofluoralkane ...

The device, known by the name of <>, for monitoring the function of processors comprises an oscillator (1) and a counter (2) with a plurality of outputs and a dynamic reset input. The different counter outputs are used for a stepped response to malfunctions and for checking by the processor (4) of the monitoring device (1, 2). The fault response comprises an interrupt, a hardware reset a...

The generator comprises a clock (3) which supplies logic signals, at the frequency of 56 MHz, to counters (20- 21) having a programmable capacity, triggered off at each period of a fundamental frequency of 875 KHz obtained by division (at 40-41) of the clock frequency. Binary programming words for the counter are provided, from a microprocessor, by FIFO registers (10-11) adapted to periodically re...
