Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding 24, 25 and a field winding 10 for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit 40 is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding 24, 25 such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit 40 to control the current in the armature winding 24, 25 in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.

Abstract: A catalytic cracker riser reactor is connected to a regenerator standpipe through which hot, regenerated catalyst enters the riser bottom region. A hydrocarbon feed, such as gas oil, and dispersing gases, such as steam, are introduced through a single bottom entry nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly comprises three concentrically arranged conduits. An inner conduit provides a passageway for a first dispersing gas and terminates in a first cap having at least one outlet passage for discharging the first dispersing gas in a generally radially outward and upward direction. The first conduit and first cap are enclosed by a second conduit and second cap, the annulus formed thereby providing a passageway for a liquid hydrocarbon feed. The second cap also has at least one outlet passage for discharging the mixture of hydrocarbon feed and first dispersing gas into the riser reactor in a radially outward and upward direction. A first dispersing gas enters the inner conduit and proceeds to the first cap into a mixing zone located in the vicinity of the discharge passage between the first and second caps. Hydrocarbon feed enters the second conduit, continues through an annulus to the second cap and is mixed with the first dispersing gas in the mixing zone, resulting in the formation of a fine two-phase mixture of small dispersed bubbles in heavy petroleum hydrocarbon liquid. As the fine two-phase mixture passes through the outlet passage into the riser reactor to contact with regenerator catalyst, the two-phase mixture suddenly expands, forming a fine atomization of heavy petroleum hydrocarbon feed with narrow droplet size evenly distributed across the riser reactor.

Abstract: A print-medium transport unit including discharge rollers, a paper guide, and a lock member. The discharge rollers transport post-printed paper toward an outlet and can hold the leading end of the paper. The paper guide is placed upstream from the discharge rollers, and guides the leading end of the paper into the discharge rollers. The paper guide is rotatably supported so that the upstream side thereof opens a transport path of the paper, whereby when the leading end of the paper is held by the discharge rollers, the transport path allows the paper to be curved like a loop. The lock member locks the rotation of the paper guide when the leading end of the paper is guided into the paper guide. When the leading end of the paper reaches a predetermined position, the locking of the lock member is released. <IMAGE>

This auxiliary layer consists of nickel and zirconia particles which are substantially smaller than the particles of the support. Then an electrolyte layer (10) and, on the other side of the anodic support, a current collector layer are applied. None of these layers are sintered. Only after an assembly obtained in this manner has been obtained is a sintering treatment carried out.
