摘要:
A process for quenching, separating and collecting targeted components of a hot pyrolysis product stream from the pyrolysis of biomass is provided. The process utilizes rapid quenching and electrostatic precipitation at a predetermined temperature in order to selectively collect one or more fractions of the hot mixture.

The invention provides novel polypeptides having phospholipase activity, including, e.g., phospholipase A, B, C and D activity, patatin activity, phosphatidic acid phosphatases (PAP)) and/or lipid acyl hydrolase (LAH) activity, nucleic acids encoding them and antibodies that bind to them. Industrial methods, e.g., oil degumming, and products comprising use of these phospholipases are also provided.
摘要:
A latent heat-ballasted gasifier suitable for converting biomass, coal, or low-quality fuels into a producer gas. Latent heat is stored in the reactor in ballasts containing a metal alloy with a melting point approximate the pyrolysis temperatures of the fuel. A fluidized bed reactor is used to enhance heat transfer between the latent heat material and the fuel. The latent heat-ballasts allows the reactor to be operated in a quasi-steady mode rather than a batch operation employed in the prior designs.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are shown to measure unburned carbon particles in the exhaust of a combustor. Photoacoustic absorption spectrometry is employed to measure the presence of the unburned carbon. Especially helpful in these measurements is a vertically elongated photoacoustic cell in which high flow velocities are maintained to prevent particles from settling. These measurements are useful in determining the efficiency of coal-fired combustors.
摘要:
A combined power and sensing cable for inter-connecting an EDM power supply and machine tool including a pair of power conducting leads (14,16), each having a non-conducting sleeve (18a, 20a) and a plurality of individual conductors (20) inside each such sleeve. A braided shield sleeve (22) encloses both the power leads. An external insulating jacket (12) encloses the braided shield sleeve (22). A plurality of sensing and control leads (28) are enclosed by a second braided shield (26) which in turn is enclosed by its insulating sleeve (24). The sensing and control leads (28) are aligned substantially parallel to the power conductor leads (14,16) intermediate their respective braided shield (22) and the external insulating jacket (12).
摘要:
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape closures for diapers or other garments are formed from backing strips which are divided into three portions of roughly equal area. One end portion and one of the other portions are surfaced with pressure-sensitive adhesive, while the remaining portion is surfaced with a release material; the latter two portions are folded together. In use, the first end portion is adhered to one garment border, a second border juxtaposed or overlapped, the folded portion of the closure then unfolded, and the thus-exposed adhesive surface adhered to the second border. These closures may be formed by cutting parallel strips across an elongate sheet of appropriately configured convolutely wound adhesive-coated sheet material.
摘要:
A bio-oil formulation, useful as an asphalt binder substitute in pavement and roofing shingles, includes bio-oil and a polymer additive. The bio-oil binder can include an asphalt additive. The bio-oil binder can be emulsified with water and a surfactant for use as a weatherproofing sealant or as an adhesive. A method for making the bio-oil binder is disclosed.
