  • Publication number: 20240125094
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a metering valve for controlling the amount of a fluid passed through the valve and a servo-valve for controlling the metering valve, wherein the servo-valve is decoupled from the metering valve to thermally distance or thermally isolate the servo-valve from any heat from the fluid passing through the metering valve. The metering valve and servo-valve may be used to attemperate a steam stream in a power plant attemperation system, such as a system for attemperating a superheated steam gas stream from a power plant being used for a heat-recovery steam generator. An integrated metering valve and discharge valve for discharging fluid during periods of non-use is also provide. Changeable throttle plates are also provided that control the flow of the fluid through the control chamber of the metering valve and the discharge valve.

  • Patent number: RE47895
    Abstract: A method and a subscriber station for allocating rights of access to a telecommunications channel of the telecommunications network to at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) are proposed in which information signals are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). With the information signals, access authorization data (45, 50, 55) are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). Upon reception of the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) in an evaluation unit (6) of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20), the question is asked whether the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) include an access threshold value (S), and the access threshold value (S) is compared with a random number or a pseudo-random number (R), and the right of access to a telecommunications channel of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) is granted as a function of the outcome of comparison.
