  • Patent number: 11940008
    Abstract: Rolling-element bearing for a turbomachine of an aircraft, comprising an inner ring (3) defining a first raceway (112), and an outer ring (4) defining a second raceway (124), characterized in that the bearing has at least one loop circuit (21, 22) for forced recirculation of lubricant, this loop circuit comprising a first recirculation circuit (21) comprising at least one lubricant inlet (1200) located on the second raceway (124), and connected by at least one duct (120, 166) created in the outer ring (4) to at least one lubricant outlet (1661) which discharges into a second recirculation circuit (22) of the loop circuit (21, 22), this second recirculation circuit (22) comprising at least one duct (152, 1134, 1136; 1135, 1136) created in the inner ring (3).

  • Patent number: 10493432
    Abstract: Forming a photocatalyst/aerogel composite includes contacting an aerogel including a porous carbon nanotube network with a solution including a photocatalyst precursor to yield a wet gel. The porous carbon nanotube network includes carbon nanotubes, nodes, and struts. Each node is defined by a region in which two of the carbon nanotubes are in direct contact with each other, and each strut is defined by one of the carbon nanotubes extending between a first node and a second node. Forming the photocatalyst/aerogel composite further includes initiating a chemical reaction in the wet gel to form, on the nodes and struts, photocatalyst nanoparticles from the photocatalyst precursor, and removing liquid from the wet gel to yield an aerogel composite defining pores and including the photocatalyst nanoparticles. The photocatalyst nanoparticles are covalently bonded to the nodes and the struts throughout the porous carbon nanotube network.

  • Publication number: 20140174943
    Abstract: And objective of the present invention is to provide an improved method and system for use for control of layer formation in an aluminium electrolysis cell and exploitation of the heat. The present invention attains the above-described objective by a reordering of the fundamental structure of a Hall-Héroult cell, providing two alternatives, eliminating the need for thermal insulation. In a first embodiment the ordering from the inside to the outside is: Electrolyte-sidelining-heat tubes-steel shell. In a second embodiment the ordering from the inside to the outside is: Electrolyte-sidelining-steel shell-heat tubes.

  • Publication number: 20110169932
    Abstract: Identifying individuals ad-hoc by a user wearing specially designed glasses that include a hidden internal display screen that can be seen only by the user or wearer of the glasses that is wirelessly linked to a central database to determine via facial imaging techniques the identity of the person or persons standing in front of the user or wearer of the glasses. Information can be obtained from a social networking site which can include age, marital status, preferences, vices and habits, ethnic background, frequently viewed websites, personality traits, dating habits, color preferences, educational background, criminal history, family history, average annual income, religious beliefs, clubs memberships, associations, date of birth, and other such individual data. The information can be instantly provided to the user of the glasses, to help in identifying local people.

  • Publication number: 20110173020
    Abstract: The world was shocked at the untimely death of Michael Jackson, a Rock and Roll Legend in the World of Music. This demonstrates how easy access to habit forming drugs and celebrity status contributed to his sudden death. A prescription is used to administer a prescription drug to a patient. This printed prescription is encrypted with a cipher glyph that has the patient's name, drug prescribed, dosage and doctor's name and registration number graphically hidden in the prescription itself. The prescription when presented to the pharmacy for dispensing is inserted into a machine which verifies and authenticates the prescription and other embedded information. The encrypted information is sent to a central server database to log and record the data.
