  • Publication number: 20240179475
    Abstract: MEMS device comprising: a signal processing assembly; a transduction module comprising a plurality of transducer devices; a stiffening structure at least partially surrounding each transducer device; one or more coupling pillars for each transducer device, extending on the stiffening structure and configured to physically and electrically couple the transduction module to the signal processing assembly, to carry control signals of the transducer devices. Each conductive coupling element has a section having a shape such as to maximize the overlapping surface with the stiffening structure around the respective transducer device. This shape includes hypocycloid with a number of cusps equal to or greater than three; triangular; quadrangular.

  • Publication number: 20240084202
    Abstract: An emergency distillation column (2) is disclosed, connected to a plant wherein a main distillation column (1) is present. Such connection occurs by means of by-pass of the pipes which supply said main column, which by-pass has stopping means of the liquid which allow the supply of said emergency column when the pressure drops downstream of the main column exceed a preset threshold value. Preferably, said stopping means are shut-off valves (28; 33; 35). A process of use of a column (2) is furthermore described as in any one of the preceding claims wherein the pressure difference between inflow and outflow of the liquid being distilled is measured continuously and compared against a dedicated threshold. Finally, a plant for the regeneration of waste oils is disclosed, comprising a distillation column, which furthermore comprises an emergency distillation column (2), as previously defined.
