Abstract: The present invention relates to a tap for mounting on a container containing liquid, such as a wine box, a container containing medicine or a chemical, which tap comprises a sensor arranged on or in the tap for determining the outflow of liquid as a function of dispensing time and outflow characteristics. A display indicates the remaining amount of liquid in the container.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thermodynamic cracking process wherein the cracking takes place in a cyclone reactor and in a riser of varying areas under the influence of a rotating and turbulent fluidised energy carrier which is put in motion in a fluidised regenerator by injection of combustion gases or air. A cracking unit is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sound source for the stimulation of an oil reservoir or an oil well for enhanced oil recovery or for seismic logging of the reservoir. The sound source is operated by a pressurized gas from a compressor or a pressure tank on the surface, and the gas is transported to an in the sound source situated cylinder with an accumulator, via a feed line.

Abstract: The present invention describes an actuator in a microfluidic system for inducing an electroosmotic liquid movement in a microchannel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the simultaneous recovery and cracking/upgrading of oil from solids such as tar sand and oil shale. With this process a number of the obstacles with the existing technology are solved, and the process upgrades the oil into a lighter product than the existing technology, remove sulphur in the order of 40% and heavy metals in the order of 90%.

Abstract: A catalytic cracking process is described wherein the cracking takes place in a reactor under the influence of a rotating fluidized bed catalyst and compressed gases and/or steam is injected in order to effect movement of the catalyst bed.

Abstract: A method to increase the production of oil from an oil reservoir is described. The method includes injecting a magnetic or magnetostrictive material through an oil well into the oil reservoir, vibrating the material with the aid of an alternating electric field and removing oil from the oil well.

Abstract: A process for thermal and, optionally, catalytic upgrading and hydrogenation of hydrocarbons is described, wherein the hydrocarbons (oil) with a lower API grade is passed through one or more reactors connected in parallell or in series, preferably in series, in liquid state where it under pressure and intense agitation at a given temperature is thermally upgraded by increasing API, and that the product is discharged in liquid state, and whereby the agitation is effected by whipping elements, optionally made of a catalytic material acting as a catalyst in upgrading the oil in the reactor.

Abstract: An arrangement in a needle holder unit capable of being mounted on a syringe housing for self-destructing hypodermic and similar syringes wherein the needle holder is equipped with medically acceptable chemical agents for retracting the needle holder into the syringe housing.

Abstract: A method for the transport of liquid in a textile or porous structure, whereby the liquid is forced to travel through the textile with the aid of electric pulses applied to a conductor or semi-conductor which is woven onto, or in some other fashion applied to, each side of the material which may be a single textile or several layers of textiles which together form a laminate.
