  • Patent number: 11033871
    Abstract: Apparatus for converting feed gas (28) into a product gas (29), comprising at least one reactor (1) with a reaction chamber (15) bounded by the inner wall of an outer tube (4) closed at a first outer end and an inner tube (14) received coaxially in this outer tube (4) and provided at both its outer ends with openings, which reactor (1) is provided with an inlet chamber (11) and with an outlet chamber (10), wherein a first wall (31) of the outlet chamber (10) encloses the outer tube (4) and extends therefrom, and a second wall (12) of the outlet chamber (10) lying opposite the first wall (31) encloses the outer tube (4) and extends therefrom, and the inlet chamber (11) is bounded by the second wall (12) of the outlet chamber (10) and a third wall (47) which lies opposite this second wall (12), encloses the outer tube (4) and extends therefrom.

  • Patent number: 6199308
    Abstract: A system of hinges for pop-ups. The system consists of subsystems that could function on their own if they were ideally rigid, but which are in the practical situation in sufficiently rigid. The subsystems are interconnected by extra hinged connecting parts in such a way that the total system achieves as yet sufficient rigidity, but without impairing the sought pop-up movement.
