Abstract: A floating platform for high-power wind turbines, comprising a concrete substructure, said concrete substructure forming the base of the platform, which remains semi-submerged in the operating position, and consisting of a square lower slab on which a series of beams and five hollow reinforced concrete cylinders are constructed, distributed at the corners and the center of said lower slab; a metal superstructure supported on the concrete substructure and forming the base for connection with the wind turbine tower, said tower being coupled at the center thereof; and metal covers covering each of the cylinders, on which the metal superstructure is supported and to which vertical pillars are secured, linked together by beams, which join at the central pillar by an element whereon the base of the wind turbine tower is secured.

Abstract: A fluid flow fitting with a tubular comprising a void therethrough allowing flow of a fluid, a plurality of fins at least partially transverse to the flow of the fluid extending inward from an inner wall of the tubular, and an outlet cap having an outlet hole centered thereon. An ignition source can be placed proximate the outlet cap and/or outlet hole to ignite the combustible fluid. The fins can cause a swirling motion of the combustible fluid, thereby separating contaminants from the combustible fluid and leading to more efficient and clean combustion.

Abstract: A burner for a flash smelting furnace. The burner has an adjustable nozzle to control the velocity of the combustion gas supply to the reaction shaft. The nozzle is defined by the burner injector and a surrounding structure that extends from the burner wind box through an opening in the burner block that integrates the burner with the furnace. The nozzle is adjusted by control means that is exterior of the wind box.

Abstract: A burner for a flash smelting furnace. The burner includes an injector having a sleeve for delivering pulverous feed material to the furnace and having a central lance within the sleeve to supply compressed air for dispersing the pulverous feed material in the reaction shaft of the furnace. The central lance has an annular slot at its tip for creating a substantially continuous air curtain.

Abstract: The invention relates to an immersion treatment system, particularly an electrophoretic immersion coating system, comprising at least one immersion basin in a known manner that can be filled with a treatment fluid. A transport system guides the objects to be coated to the immersion basin, into the interior of the immersion basin, out of the immersion basin, and away therefrom. It comprises at least one transport car whereon a vertically displaceable carriage is disposed. A component defining a rotary axis is supported on the same, supporting a mounting device for the object to be treated. A motion sequence for the object can be achieved in said manner, comprising a superposition of a horizontal linear motion, a vertical linear motion, and a rotary motion about the rotary axis.

Abstract: A burner for a flash smelting furnace. The burner includes a distributor for receiving pulverous feed material from a plurality of feed pipes. The distributor has at least one curved deflector that directs the feed stream in an evenly distributed annulus into the sleeve of the burner.

Abstract: Systems and methods for switching communications across different data link layer protocols are provided. A switch which supports a first data link layer protocol can support differentiated services for a second data link layer protocol without performing routing in the second data link layer protocol. The differentiated services are provided by mapping a connection of the first data link layer protocol onto one of a plurality of connections of a second data link layer protocol. The mapping of frames is based on the connection carrying the frames of the first data link layer protocol and a type of service associated with the frames. The frames of the first data link layer protocol are forwarded to another switch using one of a plurality of connections based on the mapping.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical composition and to the method of producing same from the fruits of the royal palm (Roystonea regia) in order to prevent and/or treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis as well as alopecia and hirsutism. The inventive composition comprises a mixture of free fatty acids and/or the esters thereof, within a range of between 8 and 28 carbon atoms, in particular between 8 and 18 carbon atoms, and, more specifically, saturated straight-chain free fatty acids with 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 carbon atoms and mono-unsaturated free fatty acids with 16:1 and 18:1 carbon atoms. The inventive method of producing the aforementioned composition comprises the drying and crushing of the fruits, with optional basic hydrolysis, and, subsequently, selective extraction in organic solvents.

Abstract: A multipurpose dispenser is provided. The multipurpose dispenser comprises two deposits and having different products and means for dispensing each of them simultaneously or alternatively. A control plate controls two motors. The first motor transmits its movement via gears to a pusher element which acts on a push-button arranged at the exit to the valve of deposit, dispensing the contents of the deposit either in a dropwise manner to channels or pipes, or by spraying it outside through a window created for this purpose in the dispenser cover, and the second motor drives a fan that circulates air containing the product held in deposit that is evaporated by a cord, the air exiting to the outside via gratings according to the rotation direction of the fan.
