Abstract: A device which regulates the flow of a medical liquid includes a first and a second body, the first body featuring a first passage fluidly connected to a regulation channel, the second body featuring a second passage which may be positioned at a desired point of the regulation channel and set, during use, in fluid passage communication with the first passage by means of the regulation channel. The device includes a limiter which, once engaged, can no longer be disengaged during normal use of the regulation device, the first body or the second body featuring at least a first stop, and the limiter, when engaged, encountering the first stop in order to prevent the second passage being positioned in a predetermined portion of the regulation channel and/or at the first passage.

Abstract: A material for reducing the content of polluting and/or unwanted substances in a liquid includes at least one polymeric and/or inorganic base, suitable to be immersed in the liquid, having at least a surface, whereto is bonded at least one catalyst of the degradation reaction of inorganic salts in gaseous substances. The catalyst, whose function is to reduce the energy required for the activation of said reaction and to accelerate its progress, is an enzyme preferably selected among the lyase group, the hydrolase group and the oxidoreductase group.

Abstract: A hydraulic machine includes oscillating radial cylinders close to an external shell of a crown or star of cylinder-piston groups. The pistons of the groups are made sliding on a crank shaft with throw or on interposed concentric elements, which create an alternative movement in the oscillating radial cylinders. The oscillating cylinders are placed in contact with a spherical oscillation surface made on a body or shell of the hydraulic machine. A passage of the hydraulic liquid to and from the oscillating radial cylinder, to create feeding and discharge of the cylinder, is formed through at least a flat lateral external surface on the side of the oscillating cylinder, parallel to an oscillation plane of the cylinders, to and from a feeding channel on a lateral body or cover of the hydraulic machine.

Abstract: A radial cylinder hydraulic motor includes oscillating cylinders, in proximity to the outer skirt to the crown or star of cylinder-piston groups; the pistons of the said groups slide on a crankshaft or eccentric shaft, or on interposed organs concentric to it, and create alternate motion in the oscillating cylinders. A respective surface of oscillation for each cylinder of the said groups, in proximity to the outer skirt, is constituted by a portion of cylindrical surface with axial direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft or eccentric shaft and positioned in the part of skirt including the diametral plane of lying of the said crown or star of radial cylinders.

Abstract: A device for reducing the content of polluting and/or unwanted substances in water, including a support made of polymeric material for a catalyst of the reaction of degradation of inorganic salts into gaseous substances; the catalyst, intended to reduce the energy required for the activation of the reaction and to accelerate its course, is an enzyme preferably selected from the group of lyases, and even more preferably selected from the subgroup of carbonic anhydrases. The inorganic are being carbonates, and/or hydrogen carbonates of calcium and/or magnesium, the reaction being the reaction of decarboxylation and acting for the conversion of inorganic salts into carbon dioxide and water according to the following reaction: HCO3?+H+H2O+CO2.

Abstract: A method for cutting tubular members, particularly legs, for supporting structures using at least one travelling wire having suitable cutting parts is described.

Abstract: A machine for cutting structural members is described. The machine has an endless travelling wire and a frame arranged around a structural member to be cut. The travelling wire and frame have longitudinal track with carriages with at least one pulley carrying at least one cutting segment. The longitudinal tracks are adapted to be engaged via motion means in arcuate guide slots.

Abstract: A method for preventing and controlling the formation of biofouling on an object that is immersed or partially immersed in a water environment in which there is one or more organic or inorganic compounds capable of releasing gas, comprising the step of applying to the surface of the object a composition comprising a polymeric resin and one or more enzymes or a paint or a coating and one or more enzymes, wherein the one or more enzymes are adapted to catalyze a reaction of the one or more compounds that leads to the formation of gas.
