Abstract:
A history sensor is described. The sensor comprises a support substrate comprising a group IV semiconductor; at least one thin-film metal structure connected to at least a first and second contact pad, at least part of said first metal structure being in contact with said group IV semiconductor, wherein said metal is selected such that it reacts with said group IV semiconductor to a metal-compound semiconductor region when exposing said sensor to temperatures around or above a predetermined reaction temperature associated with the formation of said metal-compound semiconductor and wherein the electrical response of said exposed sensor provides information on at least a first part of said thermal exposure.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for converting a biomass feedstock into at least a liquid hydrocarbon product wherein a biomass feedstock is provided and converted into at least a liquid hydrocarbon product by means of pyrolysis in the presence of a deoxygenation catalyst not comprising a transition metal as catalytically active component, followed by a hydrodeoxygenation step over a hydrodeoxygenation catalyst, wherein the hydrogen needed in the hydrodeoxygenation step is obtained by means of sorption-enhanced water-gas shift conversion of pyrolysis gas produced in the process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a coupling system for transmitting torque around a central axis of the coupling system, wherein the coupling system comprises; - a stator, - a hypocycloid transmission system rotatably supported by the stator, - an output member for transmitting torque, which output member is rotatably coupled with the stator through the hypocycloid transmission system, wherein, the hypocycloid transmission system comprises a planetary wheel member provided with a drive cam, the output member comprises a bending member at one end thereof coupled with the output member at an outer circumference thereof which bending member extends from the outer circumference of the output member towards the central axis, the drive cam contacts the bending member for driving the output member, and the radial position of the drive cam with respect to the bending member is adjustable through the hypocycloid transmission system,between an outer position proximate the circumference of the output member and an inner position proximate the central axis, for adjusting a desired stiffness of the coupling system.
