Patent number: 6213086Abstract: A process for operating of an internal combustion engine running on fuel that is both externally ignitible and self-ignitible, especially gasoline, the operating region of the engine including self-ignition or compression-ignition (CI) regions and external-ignition or spark-ignition (SI) regions, and a high compression ratio suitable for self-ignition of the fuel being provided, at least in compression-ignition regions, and combustion being initiated by self-ignition of the fuel-air mixture in compression-ignition regions and by spark-ignition of the fuel-air mixture in spark-ignition regions, and part-load operation being assigned to the compression-ignition region, whilst full-load operation and/or operating modes with high engine load as well as cold starts are assigned to the spark-ignition region. In order to improve the quality of the exhaust gases while maintaining high efficiency, a largely homogeneous fuel-air mixture should be produced in the combustion chamber in the compression-ignition region.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1999Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: AVL List GmbHInventors: Franz Chmela, Peter Meurer

Patent number: 5865695Abstract: A training device and method of use thereof to initiate and develop proper shooting technique for basketball players. The device comprises a pair of arm braces that when worn overlay the inside portion of the forearm and upper arm of the shooting arm of the player, a pair of sleeves attached to the arm braces that are adapted to snugly fit around the player's forearm and upper arm, and an interconnecting pivot which allows the arm braces to pivot relative to one another over a predetermined range of motion whereby the forearm is prevented by mechanical resistance from pivoting beyond the point at which it forms a right angle with the upper arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1996Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Inventors: Robert Mahala, Mark Qualben, Peter Meurer

C. which is below the melting points of the pure starting compounds bisphenol A (157.degree. C.) and bisphenol TMC (208.degree. C.).Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1996Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: Bayer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Kurt-Peter Meurer, Tony Van Osselaer, Claus Wulff, Jurgen Hinz

Patent number: 5269814Abstract: Between a chrome tanning step and a fat liquor treatment step, a flesh side split leather is subjected to shaving on both its split and flesh sides to a thickness of 1.1 to 2.5 mm, preferably 1.2 to 1.5 mm and is then aftertanned. After a split side dressing of the dried butt, a further shaving operation is effected on the flesh side to a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mm, preferably 0.7 to 0.9 mm, whereupon the flesh side is also dressed. The result is a split leather which is particularly effective for use on automotive vehicle dashboards and has low shrinkage even when subjected to high temperature and moisture fluctuations.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1990Date of Patent: December 14, 1993Assignee: Ludw.

Patent number: 4742623Abstract: Referring to process and equipment for the indirect drying of sludge, especially for the drying of wastewater sludge, which may undergo previous mechanical dehydration and/or preheating, it is intended to provide a method that permits utilizing low-value energy for drying purposes while avoiding environmental nuisance. With reference to the process, the problem is solved by drying the sludge under vacuum which is produced by withdrawing the water vapor by means of an injection condenser, the equipment provided for solving the problem comprising a barometric condensor associated with a mechanical sludge dehydrator and at least one sludge drier for indirect drying with an hermetically closed sludge space, the gas dome of the sludge space being connected to the injection condenser through a line for withdrawal of the water vapor.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1985Date of Patent: May 10, 1988Assignee: Uhde GmbHInventors: Peter Meurer, Heinrich Steuber, Jurgen Bassler, Winfried Liebig, Ludwig Muhlhaus

Patent number: 4257898Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing the waste sludge obtained in purification facilities for phosphoric acid produced by the wet process. The composition of this sludge is such that it cannot be utilized for any purpose in this state. It is known that sludge from wet phosphoric acid purification facilities contains different quantities of certain substances, the concentrations being such that these substances may not be allowed to mix with surface water or ground water under any circumstances, not even in the case of dumps. A typical composition of such waste sludge is as follows:______________________________________ Fe 9.0% by weight P.sub.2 O.sub.5 21.0% by weight CaO 6.2% by weight SiO.sub.2 12.5% by weight MgO 5.8% by weight Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 2.7% by weight Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 0.7% by weight V.sub.2 O.sub.5 0.6% by weight Na.sub.2 O 18.0% by weight K.sub.2 O 0.3% by weight F 1.7% by weight C 2.5% by weight S 0.3% by weight Remainder* 18.7% by weight 100.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1979Date of Patent: March 24, 1981Assignee: Uhde GmbHInventors: Peter Meurer, Martin Hater, Fritz Meininghaus, Rudiger Scheel
