Abstract: A switching and/or distributing device has at least one receiving housing and a housing cover. Arranged in at least one housing rail region are one or a plurality of power distribution rails which extend substantially in a main plane and are connected to sub-distribution rails. In at least a first plane, said sub-distribution rails extend substantially in parallel to the main plane and are electrically insulated from one another and extend in the direction of at least one housing component region, wherein in the housing component region, in particular modular components, which contain electrical/electronic operating means, are in electrical contact with one sub-distribution rail each. As a result, a switching and/or distributing device is improved in such a way that the arrangement of corresponding components is possible easily without much additional effort even in potentially explosive atmospheres and a plurality of components of different ty pes and of different sizes can be arranged at the same time.

Abstract: One example method for navigating a scrollable user interface includes outputting to a display device the scrollable user interface, the scrollable user interface including a scroll-control target. The method further includes receiving a pointer input, and moving a position of a virtual pointer on the scrollable user interface responsive to the pointer input. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a first region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a first speed. Responsive to the virtual pointer being within a second region of the scroll-control target, the scrollable user interface is scrolled at a second speed, faster than the first speed.

Abstract: A method for fusing game control inputs includes, on a computing device, receiving a first game control input from a first input device having a first housing and receiving a second game control input from a second input device having a second housing. The first game and second game control inputs are fused into a fused game control input mimicking a game control input from a single input device having a single housing. The fused game control input is provided to a video game application.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for recovering boil-off gas from a head space of a liquid storage tank having a fluid contained therein is provided. The method can include the steps of withdrawing the boil-off gas from the storage tank and introducing said boil-off gas to a heat exchanger using a vapor flow inducer; cooling the boil-off gas in the heat exchanger by using cold energy from vaporization of liquid nitrogen to form a cooled fluid; and introducing the cooled fluid to the liquid storage tank, thereby reducing the temperature within the liquid storage tank.

Abstract: In another embodiment of the invention, a method for recovering boil-off gas from a head space of a liquid storage tank having a fluid contained therein is provided. In one embodiment, the method can include the steps of flowing the boil-off gas from the liquid storage tank to a heat exchanger by opening a valve; creating a vacuum within the heat exchanger by cooling and condensing the boil-off gas in the heat exchanger by using cold energy from vaporization of liquid nitrogen from a liquid nitrogen storage tank to form a cooled fluid; and introducing the cooled fluid to the liquid storage tank, thereby reducing the temperature within the liquid storage tank.

Abstract: A biomass fire inside an installation is suppressed with dripping liquid nitrogen from over the biomass and injecting gaseous nitrogen underneath the biomass.

Abstract: A method of improving the efficiency in delivery of a cryogenic liquid (10, 160) to the surface of a metal body in a furnace, the method comprising the steps of a) causing a flow of the liquid cryogen i) from a source of the liquid cryogen (10, 160), ii) to the surface of a metal body, and b) sub-cooling the liquid cryogen or a combination of the liquid cryogen and a cryogen gas (40, 180) between step a), sub-step i) and step a), sub-step ii) to reduce a temperature of the liquid cryogen or the combination of the liquid cryogen and the cryogen gas.

Abstract: A method of improving the efficiency in delivery of a cryogenic liquid to the surface of a metal body in a furnace, the method comprising the steps of delivering a liquid cryogen (10, 20) to a liquid-gas phase separator (30), allowing a gaseous cryogen (45) present in a liquid phase (40) of the liquid cryogen to separate from the liquid cryogen (40), condensing (60, 70, 80) the gaseous cryogen (45) to an additional amount of liquid cryogen (40), delivering the liquid cryogen and the additional amount of liquid cryogen (50) to the surface of a metal body in a furnace.

Abstract: The invention uses both heating and cooling zones to prevent the precipitation of solids onto equipment surfaces until they are efficiently removed from the gas phase via one or more heat exchangers. Each heat exchanger may be regenerated to melt off the solids when the amount collected becomes excessive. A storage plenum is available under each heat exchanger to store the melted solids until final removal to avoid the need to open the equipment for the removal of the unwanted solids.
