Abstract: An industrial plant for gas treatment, comprising a gas treatment unit, the gas treatment unit comprising a first, a second and a third compartments extending vertically; the first compartment comprising a gas inlet the second compartment comprising a first gas outlet; the gas treatment unit also comprising a first and a second porous structures in the first and in the second compartments, the first porous structure being situated higher than the gas inlet, the second porous structure being situated lower than the first gas outlet. The gas treatment unit also comprises: a first opening, situated between the first and third compartments, higher than the first porous structure; and a second opening, situated between the third and second compartments, lower than the second porous structure.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards apparatuses for rotating a gimbaled platform with rotatable actuators. Gimbal springs comprised of component springs with compliant axes that intersect at a nonzero angle are coupled to the gimbaled platform. Preferably, the compliant axes of the component springs are oriented at an approximately 45 degree angle relative to the actuator rotation axes. Wraparound lever arms coupling the rotatable actuators with the gimbal springs serve to increase the leverage ratio, thereby permitting greater platform rotation for a given actuator rotation.
