An electric energy saving system characterized in that it consists on detecting the time span when there is an overload in the demand of energy of a region; providing a controller in certain number of devices and equipment connected to the energy distribution system of a region according to the overload registered at said region; programming the controllers to shutoff said devices or equipment for several short time periods, and in a staggered form, during said time span wherein there is an overload of the demand in the region, in such a way that a group of devices will be shut-off for one period, the expiration of which will indicate another group to do the same thing, and so forth.

The present invention pertains to a mineral exploitation method and, more specifically, to a method for extracting potassium salts from underground deposits. In the method according to the present invention, an intermediary stage is carried out between the primary mining and secondary mining stages, and in this intermediary stage sinks (8) are created that receive the water-immiscible fluid (9) used in the primary mining stage, exposing an amount of potassium chloride remaining on the cavern ceiling, at the end of the primary mining stage, which will be dissolved by a second solvent during the secondary mining stage.

The invention relates to a wheel bearing arrangement, comprising at least one encoder, at least one sensor, a seal arranged concentrically to the rotational axis and a hub mounted to rotate in the wheel bearing arrangement, whereby a radial flange on the hub, faces radially away from the rotation axis and the seal seals at least one radial annular gap around the hub on the side of the radial flange. The seal comprises at least one cover ring, made from a non-ferromagnetic material and at least one elastic first sealing lip, the first sealing lip is fixed to the cover ring and makes sealing contact with the encoder and at least one signal-active part of the encoder is arranged on the inside of the seal and rotates about the rotational axis with the hub.

The invention relates to a composition for use in the production of an article of manufacture, and in particular, to the manufacture of wall and corner guards. The composition includes a biopolymer in combination with PETG as well as a modifier. The biopolymer and modifier are preferably produced from an annually renewable source such as corn or sugar as opposed to traditionally used petroleum based plastics. In this manner, the composition of the invention is relatively environmentally friendly as compared to known compositions while maintaining many of the desirable qualities thereof. In addition, the production of the articles of manufacture results in the consumption of fewer fossil fuels and less production of pollutants.

A method of extracting at least one rhamnolipid compound from a rhamnolipid fermentation mixture, the method comprising the steps of: (a) admixing an inert adsorbing support with a rhamnolipid fermentation mixture; (b) dissolving the mixture in an organic solvent at a temperature higher than 31 DEG C and at a pressure higher than 73 bars; (c) separating at least one fatty compound; (d) adding a co-solvent to said organic solvent; (e) modifying temperature and/or pressure; (f) separating a first rhamnolipid compound; and (g) separating a second rhamnolipid compound.

A radar level gauge for determining a filling level of a product in a tank, comprising a volatile high-speed working memory, a first processing unit connected to the volatile high-speed working memory, the first processing unit having an active mode in which the first processing unit is turned on and accesses the working memory, and an inactive mode where the first processing unit is turned off, memory loading circuitry, separate from the processor, configured to transfer software code from a non-volatile memory into the volatile high-speed working memory while the processor is in inactive mode, and an auxiliary power connection configured to provide power only to the volatile high-speed working memory and the memory loading circuitry.

With this design, the memory loading circuitry and working memory can be powered separately, thereby allowing loading of software code from the non-volatile memory into the volatile high-speed working memory without activating the relatively power-hungry processor.

The invention relates to a manufacturing method for a crash frame of a battery compartment for electric drive vehicles by using metallic sheets which are arranged on top of one another and fixed together and which form in a following step a space by using an inner active media forming process to create walls of a crash frame whereby the space works as a deformation space to protect the battery modules inside the battery compartment against an impact. The invention further relates to the use of the crash frame for a battery compartment.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for determining a flight plan for an aircraft, including: determining one or more regions that intersect an initial flight path and comprise at least one terrain feature having an elevation greater than an elevation threshold; for each respective region: determining a flight area based on the initial flight path and an elevation threshold line; determining one or more segments of the initial flight path that comprise one or more terrain features having an elevation greater than the elevation threshold; and determining a modified flight path for each respective segment by: determining a plurality of descent gradients along the respective segment; and moving the respective segment of the initial flight path in the safe descent direction if any of the plurality of descent gradients would collide with any of the one or more terrain features.

A method is provided for plating a non-metal substrate (S), allowing a plated part to be obtained. The method includes steps of: (a) providing a non-metal substrate (S) having a surface (11); (b) forming a bonding layer (C1) on the surface (11); (c) forming at least one reinforcement layer (C2) on the bonding layer (C1); (d) forming a varnish layer (C4) above the reinforcement layer (C2); and performing a drying step to dry the varnish layer, wherein the varnish layer is exposed to ultraviolet radiation.

A buoyant apparatus that is capable of floating on liquid surfaces, such as bodies of water filled with waste byproducts. The buoyant apparatus supports a plurality of atomizers via rotatable and flexible arms that can achieve 180° adjustments with the respect to a longitudinal axis of the buoyant apparatus, such that the arms can be parallel to a surface of the body of water in both an extended orientation (with the atomizers deployed over the water surface) and a retracted orientation (with the atomizers stored within the surface area of the platform). In addition, the arms can achieve 360° rotational adjustments about the attachment point of the arms to the platform. The atomizers and arms are powered by low voltage direct current (DC) motors that can utilize solar power via photovoltaic cells such that the apparatus can be employed in remote locations without the need for a centralized power grid.
