  • Method for the in situ production of fuel/water mixtures in combustion engines
    Patent number: 8875666
    Abstract: A process for operating an internal combustion engine or a nozzle includes producing a fuel mixture in-situ. The fuel mixture consists of a polar component A, a nonpolar fuel component B, an amphiphilic component C, and an auxiliary component D. The fuel mixture is produced in a high-pressure region of an injection system of an internal combustion engine or of a nozzle within 10 seconds of an injection operation. The fuel mixture is injected into the internal combustion engine or the nozzle. A pressure is in a range of from 100 to 4,000 bar.

  • METHOD FOR IMPROVED HANDLING OF INCIDENTS IN A NETWORK MONITORING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130219053
    Abstract: A method for operating a monitored telecommunications network, the telecommunications network management system being monitored by a network management system, the network management system processing alarm messages generated by monitoring components within the telecommunications network, incidents of technical failure or error within the telecommunications network resulting in the generation of the alarm messages by the monitoring components, includes: monitoring the telecommunications network, observed incidents of technical failure or error, and generated alarm messages during a preparatory period of time; determining a scaling parameter per type of alarm message, wherein the scaling parameter is related to the number of incident tickets generated during the preparatory period of time; and suppressing the generated alarm message based on the value of the scaling parameter associated to the type of the generated alarm message.
