Abstract: A device for coagulating body tissue contains an electrode arrangement comprising a first electrode group and a second electrode group, both of which have strip-shaped electrodes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a warhead (10) for attacking particularly half-hard and/or soft targets, wherein the warhead comprises a splinter-forming casing (1) and an explosive material positioned in the casing (1). The warhead (10) further has a front plate (2) having a splinter formation, into which a distance sensor (3) is integrated. An igniter (5) for the explosive material and a stabilizing strap for adjusting perpendicular flight characteristics on the way to the target are located in the rear part of the warhead (10), wherein the initiation of the igniter (5) is determined by a property of the target to be attacked, namely, the parameter of a defined height from the target.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the utilization of a feedstock essentially comprising nitrogen-organic compounds, in which the utilization takes place by gasifying the feedstock under normal pressure or an increased pressure, up to 40 bar, at temperatures at least about 900° C., and preferably between 1100° C., and 1600° C., by partial oxidation using a gasifying medium containing free oxygen, as a flame reaction in an entrained bedgasifier. An apparatus for carrying out the process is described.

Abstract: A reconnaissance sonde to be dropped and erected in an area for wirelessly transmitting data to a data processing apparatus.

Abstract: A method for the autonomous guidance of a spin-stabilized artillery projectile (2; 25) toward a target (12). To ensure that an autonomously guided, spin-stabilized artillery projectile (2; 25) hits a target (12) with high precision, even at distances of .gtoreq.35 km, previously determined target data are transmitted to the projectile (2; 25) and stored therein before it is fired, and, following the firing of the projectile (2; 25), these stored data are compared with projectile position data, detected with the aid of a satellite navigational receiving station (23). The correction data resulting from this comparison are then used for the projectile (2; 25) guidance.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for regenerating a liquid from a spent liquid containing sodium compounds created during kraft processing for pulping wood while simultaneously obtaining energy. Regeneration begins by gasifying said sodium compounds in a gasification reaction chamber at a temperature greater than the melting temperature of the sodium compounds and generating a gasification gas and salt melt. The gasification gas and salt melt are then directly cooled to a temperature greater than the dew point in the quenching chamber by spraying a cooling liquid which, in turn, causes gaseous condensate to form a bath in the quenching chamber which may also include water from kraft processing. The salt melt dissolves in the bath to produce an aqueous solution. This aqueous solution is then cooled and diluted with alkali liquid produced during the kraft process.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an etched wiring (spider) for integrated circuits having a metallic frame for electrodeposition and shorting purposes proceeding all around at the periphery and connecting the wiring at several points. When separating a plurality of circuits lying side-by-side after the electrodeposition, an entire strip of the carrier material previously had to be discarded in order to enable the short-free separation of the etched wirings. In order to avoid this waste, the invention provides that the leads to the junctions of the frame with the wiring of neighboring circuits be fashioned meander-like.

Abstract: A burner with an integrated electrical high-voltage igniter and a flame monitor for partly oxidizing gaseous fuels in reactors that are either pressurized or not. A fuel-gas channel communicates with a confusor which opens into an annual fuel-gas nozzle. The fuel-gas channel, furthermore, is surrounded by an annular oxygen channel. Water channels border the confusor and the annular fuel-gas nozzle. The annular fuel-gas nozzle, moreover, has the confusor, and annular nozzle with a reaction zone end, and a diffusor. This diffusor merges into the oxygen channel at an axially parallel radius of curvature. A high-voltage ignition cable extends through the fuel-gas channel and terminates in a metal electrode which is positioned so as to form a spark gap in a space between the tip of the electrode and a metal wall of the burner.

Abstract: An apparatus for gasifying pulverized coal, the apparatus comprising a housing with a granulated slag discharge opening in a bottom of the housing, and a producer gas outlet opening in a lower part of the housing; a layer of thermal insulation lining the housing; a pulverized coal burner having a discharge area in the top of the housing; a layer of heat-resistant lining located above the producer gas outlet opening; a steam injection inlet; and a plurality of ducts arranged between the heat-resistant lining and the thermal insulation and extending between the steam injection inlet to the discharge area, each of the ducts having an outlet opening arranged at a level of the discharge area and an inlet opening arranged above the steam injection means. Steam is injected into the housing and the producer gas is cooled with a plurality of cooling medium supply nozzles arranged in the housing.
