The Presented Hungarian Items and Awards
Silver
medal - Fuel
Consumption Quantifier, invented by Berta,
Ferenc:
The
Invention, called ÖKOLINE™
is dedicated for general use in Internal Combustion Engines. The fuel flowing
trough two specially modified chambers. In the first one there are an optimal
arrangement of neodymium-iron-boron magnets. Inside the second chamber there are
metal modifiers, which directly affects the characteristics of the fuel. The
right type of ÖKOLINE™
is selected to fit the type of engine, i.e. petrol, diesel or gas. It has to be
installed into the fuel system. This device decreases fuel consumption and it
reduces the pollutants in emission. The power and the torque of engine will not
change.
This
consists plastic colored elements. These are covered by a layer resistant to UV
radiations, to shock and are anti-slippery or the elements can also be covered
by a soft sponge. They are easy to clean and to mend. It can be used either for
indoor or outdoor activities. Problems of dyslexia and disgraphia can be
corrected by use of this toy.
Gold
medal - Instruments
for determining of wheat quality,
invented
by Fodor,
Dezső:
These
instruments are following: micro-screen shaker and micro-valorigraph. The
micro-screen shaker separates small quantities of wheat grinds by grain size for
testing of flour samples. The screen shaker has been designed to enable
continuous control of the vibrations required. Micro-valorigraph is a device
preparing the material for forecasting of the wheat quality. The utilization of
these new instruments allows the selection of new wheat for mixing properties
and water absorption. Digital processing of the electronic signal greatly
improves the accuracy of the measurement in spite the small quantity of the test
material.
Gold
medal - Construction
game invented by
Fuchsné TolnaY, Judit
This
(Boyongolo ™) is a new and exciting construction game. The player can
build an endless variety of tracks with ramps, bridges, jumpers, etc. to carry
the fast or slow moving balls on their way. A skilful selection of slopes and
curves will allow the balls to speed along. This well designed game is safe,
non-toxic, attractive and entertaining for everyone. It develops creative
thinking, coordination skills, a sense of direction, color and form. It is an
excellent stimulating therapy for the players' mind. Learn the rules of physics
through play, and have a lot of fun.
The
invention is a rotary type of equipment with several separate cremating spaces
on a joint rigid cylinder shape body, heated by hot gases and/or hot air. The
external cylinder is rotated by cogwheel rotating mechanism involving a
tooth-edged segment. Exhaust gas is collected in the section between the
separate cylindrical cremating units, channeled into the standing smoke
collection drum through the holes in the external cover sheet of the cylinder
where it can be released through a chimney via a heat exchanger after the
already applied neutralizing technologies. It is possible to install 3, 6 or 12
cremating channels within the external sheet with a single feed hole.
Gold
medal - Multi
purpose wooden tower, invented by Hegedüs,
János:
The
tower is built with laminated wooden elements. It is engineered with structural
integrity and strength. It could be built up to 50 meters high. This tower is
self stabilizing without any external support. It is used as communication relay
and/or observation tower. This structure is attractive in its appearance and it
blends into any environment.
Gold
medal and "Aur
Inventica" (Romania)-
Variable
angle drive, invented by Nádas, Béla
dr.:
The
variable angle drive is suitable for the coupling of two shafts with variable
drive angle. The velocity of the driving shafts remains equal. Its construction
assures the balancing of the longitudinal and angle errors.
Advantages
of the new procedure are no cremating coffin needed, the ashes are not mixed
with any foreign material and environmentally safe.
Silver
medal -
Variable
traffic sign, invented by Osbáth,
Sándor – ZALAI, Tibor:
The
construction can show tree different signs determined by traffic control center.
The connection between the variable sign and center is by GSM phone chain. The
source of energy is battery-solar cell system.
Gold
medal and "Alama
Mater Iassyensis" prize (Romania)-
Crane-work
controller, invented by Osbáth,
Sándor – ZALAI, Tibor:
This
is an electronic device, which appreciates the inclination of crane during its
work. If the angle of inclination is more than 3 grades then the working will be
automatically stopped.
Gold
medal - Prevention of infection in
water system, invented by Szilágyi,
Sándor:
This
is a special element connected to the pipes of water without any moving parts
and chemicals. Its use is economical and bacteria “Legionella” cannot be
propagated.
The
universal earplugs are made in five sorts according to the anatomy of ear. The
sizes are being taken into consideration of the proportions of distribution of
the population. The material of earplugs is tissue-friend, elastic silicone-gum.
They
protect the ear from physical effects (for example noise, water). It is possible
to connect hearing aids, phones etc. It is suitable to filter out noise effects
of individual demands, with selective filters of noise straying.
Gold
medal with mention of International Jury - Purification
of drinking water, invented
by Törőcsik, Mihály dr.:
This
method is based on the use of a new adsorbent. It is consisting of a synthetic
compound and a natural mineral. The drinking water can be purified from arsenic,
lead, cadmium, caesium, strontium, and cerium. The greatest advantage of this
method is that it also eliminates bacteria in the drinking water.
Activity of ITDH (The Hungarian Investment and Trade Development Agency)
ITDH, an advisory and servicing organisation with an extensive domestic and foreign office network and information base, is jointly operated and supervised by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ITDH’s activities contribute to fulfilling the following economic programmes:

Eureka-International Foundation invited students to exhibit their research work. The Hungarian students were represented by Peter Korcsmár (awarded Gold Medal):
Potential Epileptic Brain Signaling
Patterns, work out by Peter Korcsmár
It is very interesting in the epilepsy, that inchoative stage it is
not traceable in the brain.
I examined artificially triggered epileptic seizures in the slices of
the rats brain and then set up models based on the process:
a) Necrosis of the nerve-cells
b) Increase in the number of receptors (NMDA)
c) Decrease in receptors, inhibition (GABA)
d) Changes to the number, size, shape of dendrites
