A magnesiumdiboride (MgB) powder-in-tube (PIT) wire has a cross-section showing —voids, —magnesiumdiboride, and —oxides, as measured by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Oxides are located at the borders between the voids and the magnesiumdiboride. The MgBPIT wire has a higher degree of superconductivity.

A superconductor () has a twisted structure and is adapted to form windings in a superconducting coil. The superconductor () comprises at least one superconductor wire. The superconductor further comprises at least one elongated electrical insulation element (). The elongated electrical insulation element(s) () is/are twisted with or around the superconductor wire(s) in order to create a separation distance with an adjacent superconductor wire in a neighbouring winding, The elongated electrical insulation element(s) () and the superconductor wire(s) may be twisted in one and the same twisting operation.

The invention proposes a drive cable for actuating an element being movable relative to a structure, comprising a cable body which is made of plastics, and which comprises a denticulation extending in the axial direction for engaging a mating denticulation as well as at least one armouring, which continuously reaches through the cable body in the axial direction. A coupling element realised as a moulded section is moulded in a cable connecting region so as to adjoin the cable body. Said coupling element shows a connecting portion for being coupled to the moveable element.

A modular flare stack used for the combustion of combustible fluids comprises: a gas feed pipe, at least two burner elements, and an automated control system for applying a fixed stoichiometric combustion to an air/gas venturi mixing system based on a feedback loop from the flue gas temperature. Mixing ratios are obtained either using a fan for gas flows at a lower pressure (less than 0.5 barg) or a venturi for gas flows at a higher pressure (more than 1 barg). The control system also determines the number of operational burner elements and which of the burner elements are to be operational. The flare stack provides premixed surface burners for waste gas streams, thus guaranteeing extremely low emissions and high destruction efficiency by complete combustion with a high turndown ratio.
