Title: A bushing including a terminal ear and a method of manufacturing the bushing
Inventor: EMERSON JACK L
IPC: C03B37/09
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A bushing (10) including a terminal ear (100, 102) and a method of manufacturing the bushing are disclosed. The bushing includes a bushing body (11) which can include side plates (12, 14), end plates (16, 18), a bottom plate (20), and terminal ears coupled to the bushing body. Clamps (200) are attached to the terminal ears to supply electrical current to the bushing to maintain the glass inside in a liquid state. Each terminal ear includes an upper portion (110) and a lower portion (120). The upper portion is coupled to a side plate of the bushing. A clamp is attached to the lower portion of the terminal ear. The upper and lower portions are oriented at an angle with respect to each other. Support portions (130, 132, 134, 136) are provided along the side edges of the upper portions of the terminal ears. Support portions stiffen the terminal ear, thereby increasing its resistance to bending and fatigue stresses. Support portions do not contact the bushing and therefore do not directly conduct current to the bushing. Accordingly, the temperature of the support portions during operation of the bushing will be lower than the conducting portion of the terminal ears. Since the support portions operate at a lower temperature, the thermal degradation of the terminal ear is reduced.

Title: Processes and systems for handling knots in a chemical pulping process
Inventor: STROMBERG C BERTIL
IPC: D21C3/22
Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: Processes and systems are provided for cooking wood chips containing knots in a digester to produce a chemical pulp. Specifically, a low pressure slurry of comminuted cellulosic fibrous material is formed in a vessel operating at essentially atmospheric pressure by mixing therein a liquid and the comminuted cellulosic fibrous material. The low pressure slurry is thereafter supplied to a low pressure inlet of a high pressure transfer device while liquid is removed from the slurry through a low pressure outlet thereof. A high pressure liquid is supplied to the transfer device (e.g., via a slurry pump) so as to form a high pressure slurry of the comminuted cellulosic material which is then discharged from a high pressure outlet of the transfer device. Knots are removed via a knot separator from a slurry of undercooked knot-containing cellulosic material at essentially atmospheric pressure. The removed knots are thereafter transferred to the vessel so that the knots become part of the low pressure slurry supplied to the low pressure inlet of the transfer device.
