are split in sub-periods. For each disruption sub-
period, the mapping is initialized by first establishing
a direct match between the cabin and travel class
structures. Then, the direct match is validated

against the actual cabin and travel class structure of
the replacement flights which includes pinpointing all
found discrepancies. All class matching tables
(CMTs) that apply to the disrupted flight for the
disruption period considered are retrieved from a
repository of rules. The cabin and travel class
structure of the replacement flights are further split in
sub-periods to imbed the actual validity periods of
the retrieved CMTs. Finally, rules of the retrieved
CMTs are applied to resolve all found discrepancies.

transportation; the distribution pattern of the existing
bearing surface is changed due to the arrangement
of a middle groove, so that the middle part with weak
anti-bending and anti-deformed capability of the
bearing surface is separated from the bottom
surface of the buffer to reduce the load force on the
middle part of the bearing surface, thereby improving
the strength of the coupler yoke, reducing
occurrence of the crack and the fracture in the using
process of the coupler yoke, guaranteeing the
connection reliability and the travelling safety of the
train and ensuring the exchangeability between the

Liquid feedstock (e.g., water and/or hydrocarbons mixed with biomass) is pumped through a pipeline; the single-phase stream is then transformed into a biphasic liquid-and-gas stream inside a chamber. The transformation is achieved by transitioning the stream from a high pressure zone to a lower-pressure zone. The pressure drop may occur when the stream further passes through a device for atomizing liquid. Inside the chamber, an electric field is generated with an intensity level that exceeds the threshold of breakdown voltage of the biphasic medium leading to a generation of a plasma state. Furthermore, the invention provides an energy-efficient highly adaptable and versatile method and apparatus for sanitizing water using plasma particles to inactivate biological agents contaminating water.

cleaning a soiled substrate, the method comprising
the treatment of the moistened substrate with a
formulation comprising a multiplicity of polymeric
particles, wherein the polymeric particles comprise at
least one antimicrobial agent. Preferably, the
substrate is wetted so as to achieve a substrate to
water ratio of between 1:0.1 to 1:5 w/w. Optionally,
the formulation additionally comprises at least one
additional cleaning agent and, in this embodiment, it
is preferred that the polymeric particles are mixed
with the at least one additional cleaning agent.
Preferably, the additional cleaning material
comprises a surfactant, which most preferably has
detergent properties. Most preferably, the substrate
comprises a textile fibre. Typically, the polymeric
particles comprise particles of polyester or nylon,
most preferably in the form of beads. The results
obtained are very much in line with those observed
when carrying out conventional aqueous cleaning
processes and the method provides the significant
advantage that the use of antimicrobial agents in or
on the polymer bead greatly improves the overall
hygiene in the washing machine by preventing
mould and bacterial growth on the polymer particle
surfaces, particularly at low temperatures.

Page | 242
00: - A method for generating synthesis gas by
gasification of solid or liquid carbonaceous fuels with
an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent in a reactor,
wherein the synthesis gas is removed from the
reactor overhead and the mineral ash/slag droplets
produced during the reaction are removed from the
reactor downwards in the direction of gravity, is
intended to make it possible to use a markedly less
expensive fire-tube boiler for heat removal instead of
a radiant boiler. This is achieved in that the
synthesis gas is passed uncooled over a hot gas
filter (2) and subsequently for cooling through a fire-
tube boiler (3), wherein the ash/slag particles
separated off at the hot gas filter (2) are recirculated
in the direction of gravity back to the gasification
reactor (2).
