Abstract: A breathable gas supply regulation device of gas supplied by a respiratory assistance apparatus in breath assistance comprising a first input receiving a leakage signal produced by a detection member. The device regulates the supply of breathable gas to the patient in response to a received leakage signal, comprises a second input receiving a patient mouth movement measurement signal. The device comprises a processing unit provided for generating a synchronisation signal between the movement signal and the leakage signal. The processing unit generates a modification amount indicating the modification to be applied to the supply of breathable gas.

Abstract: Distance measuring device comprising an emitter and a receiver, said emitter being arranged to produce a magnetic field by means of a resonant circuit having a resonant frequency, said receiver being arranged to pick up at said resonant frequency the magnetic field emitted by the emitter and convert the strength of the magnetic field picked up into a first signal having an energy value, said emitter being arranged to produce said magnetic field intermittently, each emission having a predetermined energy, said receiver being connected to a detector arranged to determine, by correlation of said first signal with a second predetermined signal having a waveform representative of a signal to be picked up by the receiver, a distance measurement signal representing the distance between the emitter and the receiver. The device finds its application in detectors for sleep disorders or other forms of illness.

Abstract: The invention provides a pigment, the production and use thereof, furthermore a polymeric material delustred with pigments, processes for producing this polymeric material, and the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a non-positive-displacement machine, particularly a rotor for a compressor of a gas turbine, on which at least one shaft collar with an outer periphery and with two radially extending faces are placed. The rotor also comprises a multitude of retaining grooves for moving blades, said retaining grooves being provided on the outer periphery and extending transversal to the peripheral direction and each retaining groove has a groove bottom. In order to provide a rotor for a non-positive-displacement machine that makes it possible to reduce flow losses while having a simple geometrical design of the attachment of moving blades, the invention provides that an annual groove, which extends in an axial direction and which is coaxial to the rotation axis of the rotor, is provided at least on one face of the shaft collar.

Abstract: Barbecue grill consisting of housing containing possible charcoal rack and one or more cooking grills. Attached below housing is a biomass gasifier/combustion unit providing charcoal starting and combustion air control for charcoal combustion or providing primary heat for cooking.

Abstract: A method according to the invention or a corresponding device (1) provides for dividing exhaust gas (9) exiting the gas turbine into a first (11) and a second partial stream (13), for mixing the first partial stream (11) with combustion air (15), and for channeling the resulting mixture (17) to the combustion chamber (5) and the second partial stream (13) to a carbon dioxide precipitation plant (21). In an advantageous embodiment the exhaust gas (9) exiting the gas turbine (3) is previously used to generate process steam (31) for a steam turbine (33) (gas and steam power station) then cooled before the exhaust gas (9) is divided into said partial streams (11,13). Water (29) precipitating during cooling is removed.

Abstract: This invention discloses a conductor roll that is surrounded by a crown that extends along a substantial portion of the length of the conductor roll. The crown is designed to compensate for the deflection of the conductor roll when the conductor roll is placed under a load.

Abstract: The shaft bearing supports the rotor of a turbo-machine which extends along a rotor axis. The shaft bearing has a bearing element with a bearing surface. The bearing surface supports an associated rotor surface and the bearing element can be axially displaced. The invention further relates to a turbo-machine and to a method for operating said turbo-machine.

Abstract: A device and a method for burning fuel in air. The device includes an annular passage for directing the air in a meridional flow with regard to an axis. A swirl cascade is provided for imposing a swirl on the flow, and a mixer for intermixing the fuel with the flow for forming an essentially homogeneous mixture. Also present is an air flow delayer for delaying a portion of the flow that lies radially on the outside with regard to the axis relative to other portions of the flow. The device is configured in particular as a premix burner, for example for use in a gas-turbine plant.

Abstract: A fuel nozzle configuration for a fluid-fuel burner includes a main axis, a backflow region, a fuel nozzle and an inflow region disposed along the main axis between the fuel nozzle and the backflow region. A swirl flow of fuel can be generated in the inflow region. The backflow region has an annular gap adjacent the inflow region which narrows in the direction downstream of the inflow region and merges into a backflow conduit. An oil burner for a gas turbine uses the fuel nozzle configuration and a method is provided for regulating the fuel supply of a fluid-fuel burner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 8-iso prostaglandins and their derivatives for decreasing intraocular pressure, for example in the treatment of glaucoma It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that 8-iso prostaglandin E.sub.2 effectively decreased intraocular pressure by a trabecular meshwork outflow mechanism.
