An open-cycle engine in which rotary power is produced by the pressure of hot gasses against confined, rotating vanes.

The subject invention provides systems and apparatuses for producing microbe-based compositions that can be used in the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup, as well as for other applications.More specifically, the present invention includes biological reactors, equipment, and materials for fermenting microbe-based compositions.

The invention relates to an apparatus for separating hydrocarbons from solid particles, wherein the apparatus comprises a slurry inlet for receiving a slurry comprising water, hydrocarbons and solid particles, a water supply for rinsing water, and a slurry outlet. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of nozzles configured to provide rinsing water as droplets with sufficient speed to induce cavitation in the slurry, and separating means for extracting a liquid containing water and hydrocarbons from the slurry and a separate liquid outlet for the extracted liquid.

The battery pack (10) has a battery cell (35). A compressible insulator plate (45) arranged beside the battery cell has phase change material. The liquid phase of the phase change material is changed to solid phase at a temperature in 0-40[deg] C. An independent claim is included for method for controlling temperature of battery pack.

The invention provides systems, processes and methods for converting heterogeneous coal-fired power plants to cogenerate a sustainable, consistent, and economic cement. Such cogeneration enables a simultaneous production of both electric power and cement and thus provides significant economic and environmental efficiencies and benefits and eliminates a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and thereby mitigates a major contributor to climate change.

The invention relates to a method and a device for loading data and instruction in computer. Computer array (10)comprises multiple computers(12)asynchronously communicated with each other and operating in asynchronous mode inside. When a computer tries to communicate with another computer, it enters into sleep until the other computer is ready for transaction processing, so power is saved and heat quantity generation is reduced. The sleeping computer (12)waits for data or instruction(12), if it is instruction, sleeping computer(12)waits for storing instruction or instantly performs instruction, if it is the latter, when instruction has been received, it is placed in instruction register(30a) and performed from instruction register(30a)without using placing it first in memory. The instruction comprises crawler for passing several processors along predetermined path (202) and performing a series operation in pre-chosen computer. The crawler performs pressure test in computer in a application.

The present invention relates to a tool (22) for handling chains, wires, etc. on a ship. The tool is equipped on the outer component of an arm of crane which is provided on the operating deck or adjacently with the deck on the ship, wherein, the tool (22) is provided with a chain paw (22) which is set for clamping and holding the chains, wires, shackles, etc. The chain paw (22) is designed to represent at least partial U-shape and comprise an upper movable paw (36) and a lower fixed paw (38) for receiving and holding the chain or analogous device.

An infant formula comprising protein, carbohydrate and fat is disclosed, wherein the major source of protein is potato protein.

The invention discloses a multi-barrel molecular sieve wheel intermittent circulation dehumidification dryer, which comprises a multi-barrel molecular sieve wheel and an intermittent driving mechanism. The multi-barrel molecular sieve runner includes a top cover, a bottom cover and at least three dehumidification barrels, each of which is filled with granular molecular sieve desiccant; the intermittent drive mechanism includes a rotating shaft capable of intermittent rotation, a driven wheel, and a driving wheel with a lever , intermittent motor and position sensor, and the dehumidification bucket is evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft and fixedly connected with the rotating shaft. After adopting the above structure, each dehumidification barrel can be driven by the rotating shaft to perform intermittent regeneration-cooling-processing cycle work, which can make the air in the working circuit reach a lower dew point, and the dew point is stable and the fluctuation range is small. And the range can be adjusted. At the same time, the granular molecular sieve desiccant has sufficient regeneration, high energy utilization rate, and small equipment footprint. In addition, the regenerative cooling does not introduce outside air, and the regenerative waste heat is reused to heat the processed materials, saving energy.

The present invention relates to waste heat recovery for power generation and engine preheating. Methods and systems are provided for heating an engine and generating energy from a shared waste heat recovery system. In one example, a method includes: expanding a working fluid of the waste heat recovery system via an expander to generate electricity in response to a first condition; and compressing the working fluid of the waste heat recovery system via an expander to transfer heat in response to a second condition to the engine.

A filter for a fabric dyeing machine comprises a filter plate (5) configured to be placed across a flow path for dye liquor in a dyeing machine, the plate having perforations for dye liquor to pass through, and at least one blade (3) with a scraping edge (12), the blade movably mounted with respect to the plate such that movement of the blade carries the scraping edge across the perforations in the plate, the action of the scraping edge across the perforations breaking up lint trapped by the plate until the lint is small enough to pass through the perforations. The plate may be tubular, with a plurality of blades mounted radially on a rotatable shaft (2) coaxial with the plate. The plate and the blades may be housed in a vessel (15) having an inlet (1) and an outlet (9) for connection of the filter into the dye liquor flow path of a dyeing machine.
