  • Publication number: 20230338915
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reducing the deposit of metallic transition metal, particularly palladium, on a metal part in hydrogenation reactions using hydrogen and a heterogenous supported palladium catalyst. These metallic transition metal deposit, particularly palladium deposits, are particularly formed at areas which are exposed to high velocity and shear forces of the hydrogenation mixture comprising the transition metal catalyst, particularly palladium catalyst. They are significantly reduced or even avoided when the surface of the respective metal parts are coated by a plasma sprayed ceramic coating.

  • Patent number: 5072389
    Abstract: The marine fire-control system preferably comprises several subsystems, each having a target detection module and at least one effector module. The subsystems and/or the modules are extensively interlinked and contain means for compensating static, quasi-static and dynamic alignment errors. By means of at least one computer unit, the data determined by respective sensors are evaluated and the compensation parameters representing the alignment errors between the individual subsystems and/or between the modules are determined. The processing of these movement data permits taking into account, during operation, the dynamic position changes between the subsystems or between the modules, respectively. Preferably, a permanent monitoring takes place by a safety or control system, which monitoring automatically or indirectly leads to an optimized coupling of effector modules and target detection modules.
