Method and combustor for combusting hydrogen

A plate burner for combusting hydrogen with air as an oxidizer forms a wall portion of a combustion chamber for example of a gas turbine. The plate burner is so constructed that air and hydrogen are separately guided to the downstream surface area facing into the combustion chamber for forming a large number of diffusive microcombustion flames, thus achieving a very low mixing scale simultaneously with a high nixing intensity. The number of diffusive micorcombustion flames is so selected that the NOx content in the exhaust gas from the combustion chamber is at the most 10x10-6 cubic foot per cubic foot of exhaust gas. The hydrogen enters the entrance area into the combustion chamber either through a porous wall, and air is injected into the hydrogen environment to form inverse diffusive microcombustion flames or the hydrogen is injected through a multitude of fine holes into high velocity air jets forming regular diffusion flames. In both instances, the formation of NOx in the exhaust gas during combustion is reduced to the above level or below.

Method and apparatus for triggering a fuse

The response time of a melting fuse is controlled or influenced by temporarily boosting a threshold level from a first constant value (I1) to a second dynamic value (I2) which is then caused to decay in a controlled manner during a fixed time between (t1) and (t2) and in accordance with a selectable decay function. If a current (m) flowing through the fuse exceeds the decaying threshold value a fuse blowing current is generated and supplied to the fuse, whereby the fuse blows sooner than it would have, if the excess current had prevailed for a long enough time between (t1) and (tX). On the other hand, the fuse does not blow in response to short duration transient excess currents that occur, for example at starting an engine. The engine start impulse which may be used to temporarily raise the threshold value from (I1) to (I2) and then cause said controlled decay.

Methods for determining the sex of birds' eggs

The invention relates to methods for determining the sex of birds' eggs. It can be used for an early determination of the sex, in particular in poultry farming, and in this respect also with non-incubated eggs. In the method in accordance with the invention, electromagnetic radiation is emitted onto the blastodisk of an egg by a radiation source and, after a switching off of the radiation source, the decay behavior of the autofluorescence intensity excited by the electromagnetic radiation is detected by a detector at the irradiated region of the blastodisk with time resolution and spectral resolution for at least one wavelength of the autofluorescence. The fractal dimension DF is calculated using the determined measured intensity values and the value of the fractal dimension DF is compared with a species-specific and sex-specific limit value, wherein, when the limit value is exceeded, the respective egg is classified as female and, when it is not reached, the egg is classified as male.

Round hexagon screw and method for its production

The invention concerns an outer hexagon round screw and a method for production of the screw. The screw cap is formed here essentially in the kind of a Torx head, with an outer hexagon round contour (5) and a flange (4) having a slope (4.1) reaching in the direction of the outer hexagon round contour (5) under an angle (alpha) thereby assuring a force engagement with a tool. The slope (4.1) of the flange (4) follows immediately to the outer hexagon round contour (5) such that the overall height (k) of the head (3) is substantially decreased, wherein at the same time the height (t1) of the outer hexagon round contour (5) assures a reliable force engagement. The production of the flange (4) and of the outer hexagon round contour (5) is performed either by scraping with a scraping tool or by head flattening or upset compressing or compression molding, wherein additionally a socket is formed in the head region. (FIG. 1).

A device for controlling a traffic light, where the controlling of the traffic light is dependent upon receipt and recognition of vibrations. The device includes a vibration receiver for detecting vibrations transmitted through the ground, a processor for converting one or more of the vibrations into a control signal and a controller to trigger a traffic light in response to the control signal. The device may also include a vibration generator, e.g., at least one channel or groove in a traffic-bearing surface. The vibration generator preferably facilitates the production of a pattern of vibrations when the tire of a vehicle passes over the vibration generator. Further, the device may include a vibration receiver, capable of detecting a pattern of vibrations and producing a pattern of signals corresponding to said pattern of vibrations.

Radiator shutter

A radiator shutter provided for the frontal arrangement at a motor vehicle shows two groups of lamellae, which are pivotally supported at opposite sides of a drive unit, each parallel in reference to a shutter frame. For a joint pivoting of the lamellae an entrainer tappet provided here at a distance from its bearing axis in the direction perpendicular in reference to the longitudinal direction of the lamellae, engages a common coupling element. For a simple production of the engagement of the bearing tappets of the lamellae in the shutter frame and its entrainer tappets in the coupling element they are latched in bearing recesses open perpendicular in reference to the bearing axis.

An actuator comprises an electroactive polymer layer (402) and stretchable electrode structures (410, 411) that are disposed on each side of the electroactive polymer layer (402). A softer passive layer (401) is secured to one of the stretchable electrode structures (410, 411). When compressed transversally by the stretchable electrode structures (410, 411), the electroactive polymer layer (402) will expand tangentially and the actuator will relax into a shape wherein the interior of the electroded region is substantially parallel to the plane of the device, while a substantial portion of the area increase is absorbed by out-of-plane bends arising at the electrode boundary (duck mode). The invention can be embodied as optically reflective or refractive devices with variable geometry.

Method for Protecting Against Undesired Telephone Advertising in Communication Networks

ActiveUS20090052648A1Little economic expenseSaving or reduction in the time taken to detectSpecial service for subscribersTelephonyTelephone call
A first list and a second list of identifications are established, with which a telemarketing advertisement or no undesirable telemarketing advertisement is expected. The identification of the caller an incoming call is compared to the identifications in the list. If the identification of the call is not found in the lists, the call is routed to a call processing which enables the reception of a telemarketing advertisement to ascertained and, based on the result of that determination, the lists are correspondingly updated. The calls for which the identification of the caller is recorded in the second list are routed to the called party and the calls for which the identification of the caller is recorded in the first list are rejected. Such protection against telemarketing is particularly efficient in the context of an industrial operation with numerous human resources and for lines on which several calls can be simultaneously carried.
