Abstract: A method of producing a synthetic carbonated mineral component in a cement manufacturing plant, includes providing a carbonatable substance from an external source, introducing the carbonatable substance into an exhaust gas installation of the cement manufacturing plant for contacting the carbonatable substance with CO2 enriched exhaust gas, carbonating the carbonatable substance by reacting the carbonatable substance with CO2 contained in the CO2 enriched exhaust gas, thereby obtaining the synthetic carbonated mineral component, and removing the synthetic carbonated mineral component from the exhaust gas installation.

Abstract: The present invention aims at solving tire storing information problems by providing a method and system for identifying sets of tires. the system of identification comprises a band made of resilient yet flexible material comprising identification information related to a tire, such as the owner's or a garage contact information, the installation localization of the tire and so on. The band may be secured to a tire, with or without rim, by an attachment mechanism, such as hook and loops or quick release clips. The information may be affixed to the band by sewing another piece of fabric material, installing a paper into a plastic cover or by pinning a pin. The information may be in the form of text, images, colors or code bars. The invention is not limited to warehouses, as it may further be used in home storage and garages.

Abstract: A multipurpose tool for use by woodworkers or the like and which includes a body portion having end walls and first and second pairs of opposed side walls, with a plurality of level indicating means, at least one magnet recessed in the body portion, and a recess formed in one end of the body portion and extending between the first pair of opposed side walls, and a protractor arm having a longitudinally extending slot mounted in the recess.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ground power supply device for electric vehicles (5), the device including power supply segments (52) insulated from each other and each having a length less than half the length of the footprint of the vehicle (5), and being adapted to apply a supply voltage to a segment (52) only when said segment (52) is within the footprint of the vehicle (5), the vehicle (5) having a power supply rubbing member (80), and the device being adapted to apply the supply voltage to two adjacent segments (52) when the rubbing member (80) is in simultaneous contact with the two segments (52) and to earth one of the two segments (52) a short time after said rubbing member (80) has left that segment (52).

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards the use of a reaction product of an alkynediol and a polyalkylene polyamine to inhibit metal surface corrosion caused by water present in the hydrocarbons in oil pipelines.

Abstract: Process for the conditioning of solid radioactive waste with large dimensions, constituted by contaminated objects such as cartridge filters, metal chips, tools etc., wherein said waste is incorporated into an ambient temperature-thermosetting resin to which has previously been added at least one inert filler, and the said resin is then cross-linked. One application is the encasing of solid radioactive waste below water, particularly at the bottom of a pond.
