  • Method and Apparatus for Treating an Elongated Object with Plasma
    Publication number: 20100203257
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating an elongated object using a plasma process. The method comprises the steps of providing an elongated object in a cylindrical electrode structure, and applying potential differences between electrodes of an electrode structure to generate the plasma process. Further, the method comprises at least partially surrounding the elongated object by a unitary section of the guiding structure, the electrode structure being associated with the unitary section.

  • Expansion Circuit
    Publication number: 20100026011
    Abstract: An expansion circuit comprising a working medium and a decompression unit for converting thermal energy of a combustion engine into electrical energy by expanding the working medium, wherein the decompression unit is part of an air-conditioning circuit as a compressor for compressing a working medium. The decompression unit runs in the same direction during expansion of a working medium and during compression of a working medium.
