Publication number: 20060096282Abstract: In a method for purifying exhaust gases in particular from lean-burn internal combustion engines having an exhaust-gas converter with a heat exchanger and catalysts arranged in inflow and/or outflow passages, the heat exchanger exhaust gas which flows in is heated by heat exchange with exhaust gas which flows. The incoming exhaust gas enters the inflow passages without encountering any obstacle susceptible to blockages, and flows through the inflow passages to a diversion region. Heat is fed to the exhaust gas by means of a burner. The burner is operated with fuel, air and engine exhaust gas in such a way that it supplies either an oxidizing or a reducing exhaust gas. Burner exhaust gas is admixed to the gas which emerges from the inflow passages and, together with this gas, enters the outflow passages, where nitrogen oxides are removed from it by a deNOxing catalyst present in the outflow passages.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Inventors: Gerhard Friedrich, Grigorios Kolios, Volker Schmeisser, Ute Tuttlies, Frank Opferkuch, Gerhart Eigenberger

Patent number: 6787686Abstract: Novel lines of Brassica juncea yield an edible oil that has properties similar to canola oil. More specifically, the oil has an oleic acid content of at least 55% by weight, a linoleic acid content of less than 25% by weight, a linolenic acid content of less than 14% by weight, a erucic acid content of less than 1% by weight, a palmitic acid content of less than 6% by weight, a stearic acid content of less than 2.5% by weight, and a total saturated acid content of less than 7.1% by weight. The novel lines of B. juncea plant have a lineage that includes both lines J90-3450 and J90-4316, these being known lines of B. juncea, and may be formed by conventional cross fertilization or other means. The novel lines can be grown in harsher environments than conventional canola species and are high-yielding and disease-resistant.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2001Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignees: Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food CanadaInventors: Derek Arthur Potts, Daryl Richard Males, Gerhard Friedrich Werner Rakow, John Philip Raney
