The present invention relates to a system for cooling and condensing gas, which uses the energy of the fluid and comprises a gas supply line, a first vortex tube connected to the gas supply line, a second vortex tube connected to the first vortex tube, and a first heat exchanger connected to the second vortex tube and to the gas supply line. The system for cooling and condensing gas is a modular system that can be replicated and connected in series or in parallel to another modular system to obtain a cooler gas or a gas with greater mass flow than that obtained using a single modular system. In addition, the system of the invention is optionally connected to elements for heat recovery, pressure recovery, recirculation or ventilation to make use of the residual gas streams. Moreover, the system of the invention does not require energy additional to that obtained from the pressure of the supply line to obtain liquefied gas. The system of the invention also makes use of the pressure drop required between the activities of transporting and distributing compressed gas.

The invention relates to an intraocular implant, comprising a disc, and at least two securing means joined to the edge of the disc. Each securing means has positioning openings and grooves. The intraocular implant is made of two different materials, with one material being more rigid than the other. The implant is used for changing the colour of the iris of a user for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes or for correcting visual defects of a user.
The present invention relates to a mobile cover with hole for loading or unloading cargo holds, such as cargo holds of boats, barges, silos and the like. The cover allows loading and unloading operations to be carried out under environmental conditions that affect the integrity of the load and/or pollute the environment. The cover comprises two systems of folding sheets, one longitudinal and the other transverse, each of which consists of folding sheets that can move along and across the opening of the hold, driven at the ends thereof by a transmission system, which can be two parallel flexible transmissions or a single central flexible transmission. Each flexible transmission element is driven by a toothed wheel or pulley. Both the longitudinal translation system and the transverse translation system have a loading or unloading hole. The loading or unloading hole of the longitudinal translation system is covered by the transverse translation system, so that the only hole that can be used for loading or unloading is the one that is located in the transverse translation system. This achieves the goal of protecting against any adverse conditions that might enter through the opening of the hold and affect the cargo.
The present invention discloses a heat transfer chain comprising circular links made from elliptical cross section solid wire, having a greater radius : lesser radius ratio of 1.5 to 3.0, having the axis formed by the greater radius of the elliptical section lined up with the diametrical direction of the circular link, achieving this way an increase in the chain's durability (less wear in time), and at the same time obtaining greater heat transfer efficiency due to a high surface area to unit of mass (ton) ratio in the installed chain. The present invention may be applied primarily to rotating chain furnaces, wherein these experiment transitory increases and reductions in temperature, for heat transfer between two or more phases, commonly seen in the concrete, paper and fertilizer industries.

Surface-deposited particle and substance sampling, dilution and analysis device
A device for sampling, diluting and analyzing particles and substances normally located on surfaces. The device includes a collection system which, through a rotating collecting surface and a scraper gathers the sample. The device also includes a tank-like storage system to store the diluting solution and a dilution chamber that permits the sample to mix with the solution and be diluted. This mixture is subsequently placed in contact with a detection system which is capable of discerning the presence or not of the substance being sampled.

A method and apparatus for on-line measurement and forecasting of a species concentration while a reaction is taking place, based on the measurement of the electrical conductivity of the reacting volume, and using such measurement to evaluate a first mathematical function relating such value to the concentration of the species in the reacting volume. The evaluation of the first mathematical function requires as inputs: electrical conductivity trajectory, time elapsed, and other significant process variables; it generates as outputs the estimated actual species concentration and at least one forecasted concentration value.
