Abstract:
Solid electrolyte capacitors are produced in such a way that a formed metallic anode body which has pores passing through it is arranged on a working electrode, and a conductive polymer is deposited in the pores of the anode body by electochemical polymerization of a monomer in the liquid phase, in the presence of a conducting salt. The polymer is provided with a contact point.
Abstract:
The invention discloses an apparatus for maximizing the uniformity of distribution of gasification medium in a rotary grid generator. To insure proper input, a distribution head is rotatably mounted within the interior of the rotary grid, and the distribution head is connected by means of elastic input conduits to either openings which are directly connected with the reactor chamber, or to distribution chambers in the individual segments of the rotary grid. Through use of the apparatus, the formation of canals through preferential gas flow in the solid beds of pressure gas generators is eliminated.
Abstract:
A machine for the continuous processing of hides and skins comprising a first and a second processing unit mounted on a frame. The first unit includes rollers, a hide gripping arrangement, and means for driving same; the second unit being similarly equipped; the second unit being capable of processing that portion of the hide not processed by the first unit. The second unit grips the hide before processing by the first unit is commenced.
Abstract:
The apparatus for burning the contaminated soot particles in the exhaust gases of diesel motors of vehicles comprising in the exhaust gas line a housing with a burner operated with a fuel/air mixture for burning the contaminated particles in the exhaust gas flow. The housing comprises a rotatably supported hollow cylinder through which the exhaust gases flow. The housing and the hollow cylinder bound the combustion space of the burner, wherein the hollow cylinder comprises drive vanes and the exhaust gases of the diesel motor and/or the exhaust gases of the burner act upon the drive vanes and wherein the exhaust gases of the burner heat the hollow cylinder up to the combustion temperature of the soot particles. The arrangement can be also made in such a way, that the exhaust gases and/or the combustion gases of the burner flow through bores into the perforated hollow cylinder and exit through the one open end face of the perforated hollow cylinder.
Abstract:
Apparatus and process for the manufacturing of microcrystalline metallic materials in band form, wherein the chemical compositing for the cooling roller given in ranges within which the upper surface roughness is reduced, the geometry is improved, the presence of microcracks is eliminated or reduced and the ductibility of the band is increased.
Abstract:
A method for determining the concentration of sugar in the presence of interfering foreign substances, by means of a test electrode with a membrane placed in front of it, the electrode being contained in an electrocatalytic sugar sensor, whereby the test electrode is set potentiostatically to a reactivation potential and to a test potential and the current flowing during the set test period is evaluated as a test signal. The invention formulates a method such that with varying concentrations of urea a sensitive determination of sugar concentration which is reliable over a long term is achieved. The invention discloses the method which includes the step that after the reactivation potential and prior to the test potential a third potential that is more negative than the test potential is applied to the test electrode. The technique proposed in the invention is particularly appropriate for the determination of the concentration of glucose in body fluids.
Abstract:
An improved heart pacemaker of the type which includes a stimulating electrode and a counter electrode, a pulse generator and which has an implantable glucose/oxygen biofuel cell as an energy supply, in which pacemaker the area of the glucose electrode of the biofuel cell is made larger than that of the stimulating electrode and the stimulating electrode is in electrically conductive connection with the glucose electrode and thus at the same potential.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for transporting commodities, especially liquid commodities above their congealing temperature in a tanks or tank containers. At least a partial flow of hot exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine of a tank vehicle or tank container vehicle flows through a heat exchanger through which passes the heat transfer oil in a closed cycle and yields heat to the heat transfer oil and an electrically heated heat exchanger yields heat to the heat transfer oil and the heat transfer oil transfers heat to the commodity through a tank or tank container wall heat exchanger. The heat transfer oil is conducted in a closed cycle in a regulation circuit including the heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas passes and the electrical heat exchanger. The temperature of the heat transfer oil is controlled as a function of a variable reference and the variable reference is preset as a function of the temperature of the commodity to be transported and contained in the tank or tank container, so that the variable reference is always higher than a specified temperature of the commodity to be transported.
Abstract:
An implantable electrode, particularly a stimulation electrode, in which the electrode head consists of vitreous carbon which is preferably surface activated.
Abstract:
A method and device for reducing the noise produced in a turbo-machine by e interaction of the blades of a ring of rotor blades and the vanes of a ring of stator vanes, by the creation of a counter-noise of opposed phase. This is achieved by the injection of a fluid into the flow passage of the machine in which the blades and vanes are located. The injection is carried out through orifices located on stationary parts of the machine and equal in number to the vanes of ring of stator vanes, the flow through the orifices being modulated at the frequency of the noise to be reduced and with a phase difference which increase in an incremental manner from one orifice to the next. The phase of the modulated flows injected through the orifices is simultaneously regulated so that the acoustic waves created by the flows are substantially in opposition, with respect to phase, to those of the noise to be reduced.
