Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a disposable multilayer test strip comprising a substrate onto which is deposited an electrode assembly comprising a carbon-based working electrode, a carbon-based counter electrode, a pseudoreference electrode, wherein the pseudo reference electrode, the working electrode and the counter electrode, are arranged adjacent to each other in the same plane, contacts for contacting the electrodes directly to a voltage supply, and the test strip further comprises a permselective membrane layer. The electrodes of the electrode assembly layer are electrically separated from one another and said electrode assembly layer is positioned between the substrate and the permselective membrane layer. The permselective membrane has a structure adapted to allow passage of one or more electronically neutral analytes in a sample to be analysed across the permselective membrane to the electrode assembly.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reducing NOx emissions in CFB reactors used for combusting fuel at atmospheric pressure. The CFB reactor includes a combustion chamber having a fluidized bed of particles therein, a particle separator section including one or more consecutive particle separators, a convection section and a clean gas duct connecting the particle separator to the convection section. The apparatus also includes a device for injecting ammonia or its precursor into the flue gases, for reducing NOx therein. The ammonia or its precursor is injected into the clean gas duct connecting the last separator to the convection section, the clean gas duct having a very small density of solid particles herein. The temperature in the clean gas duct is sufficient for NOx reducing reactions.

Abstract: A plating apparatus used in a diamond plating process in which a first electrode having a surface from which plating material is released is located in connection with a firing electrode to generate a first arc, the first arc being used to start a second arc between the first electrode and a second electrode, and in which apparatus a plasma spray formed from plating material released from the first electrode is directed toward a substrate to be plated includes a grinding element in contact with the surface of the first electrode and a mechanism for rotating the surface of the first electrode. The grinding element may be a firing electrode or an abrading tool. A method of operating the plating apparatus includes abrading the surface of the first electrode from which plating material is released.

Abstract: Hot gases from a pressurized fluidized bed reactor system are purified. Under superatmospheric pressure conditions hot exhaust gases are passed through a particle separator, forming a flitrate cake on the surface of the separator, and a reducing agent--such as an NO.sub.x reducing agent (like ammonia), is introduced into the exhaust gases just prior to or just after particle separation. The retention time of the introduced reducing agent is enhanced by providing a low gas velocity (e.g. about 1-20 cm/s) during passage of the gas through the filtrate cake while at superatmospheric pressure. Separation takes place within a distinct pressure vessel the interior of which is at a pressure of about 2-100 bar, and-introduction of reducing agent can take place at multiple locations (one associated with each filter element in the pressure vessel), or at one or more locations just prior to passage of clean gas out of the pressure vessel (typically passed to a turbine).

Abstract: Procedure and apparatus for the coating of materials. In the procedure the material or substrate (7) is coated by means of a pulsating plasma beam emitted from at least one electrode (1). The plasma beam is accelerated by a magnetic field and deflected by the same to separate the uncharged particles from it, whereupon the plasma beam hits the surface of the material (7) to be coated. The apparatus of the invention for the coating of materials is provided with electrodes (1, 3), at least one voltage source (2) and at least one capacitor (C1) for producing a pulsating plasma beam and at least one deflected coil (4) which generates a magnetic field that accelerates the plasma beam emitted by at least one electrode (1) and deflects the beam to separate the uncharged particles from it.
