Title: Compact hybrid particulate collector (cohpac)
Inventor: CHANG RAMSAY
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 1990-12-07
Granted: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A method for removing particulates from a gas is described incorporating an electrostatic precipitator and a barrier filter in series, i.e. baghouse, downstream of the electrostatic precipitator. The series arrangement enables the barrier filter to operate at significantly higher filtration velocities than normal 4.06-20.32 cm/s (8-40 ft/min) versus 0.76-2.54 cm/s (1.5-5 ft/min) and reduces the size of the barrier filter significantly. The invention overcomes the problem of the sensitivity of electrostatic precipitator particulate collection efficiency to variations in particulate and flue gas properties and the alternative of having to substitute the electrostatic precipitator with large barrier filters in which its use would be prohibited by cost and space considerations.

Abstract: The separator (20) comprises a mat of glass micro-fibers and a binder. The binder is an aqueous mixture of colloidal silica particles and a sulfate salt. The mat is impregnated with the binder, compressed, and dried into a rigid state that makes the separator easy to handle. The binder is formulated to release the mat from the compressed state contacted by the sulfuric acid electrolyte between the electrode plates (24, 26) of the battery. The mat expands against the electrode plates to provide the separator-to-electrode contact that is necessary for proper battery performance. The silica particles of the binder then facilitate oxygen transport between the battery electrodes (24, 26).

Abstract: Système de transport linéaire sous l'eau comportant un véhicule (1) se déplaçant sur un rail (2) situé sous l'eau. Ledit véhicule (1) dont le poids propre est légèrement différent de sa force ascensionnelle, présente une structure totalement étanche soutenue par un rail (2) et capable de se déplacer le long de ce dernier. Le côté primaire (4) d'un moteur à induction linéaire est en contact avec le rail (2) tandis que le côté secondaire (6) du moteur à induction linéaire est en contact avec le véhicule (1). Ledit système est doté d'un dispositif de commande de propulsion destiné à commander une force de propulsion produite par le moteur à induction linéaire formé du côté primaire (4) et du côté secondaire (6), et de roues pour soutenir la différence entre le poids propre et la force ascensionnelle du véhicule (1) sur un rail (2). Afin de réduire la différence entre le poids propre et la force ascensionnelle, on applique une force électromagnétique pour compenser ladite différence ou on génère une commande de courant électrique afin de garder constante la taille de l'écart entre le conducteur sur le côté secondaire et le rail (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a screen drum which, along an outer cylinder surface, has screen bars which extend parallel to the centre axis of the cylinder and between them form the screen slots and which are held by support rings, extending in the peripheral direction of the outer cylinder surface at a mutual axial distance, in open-rim recesses thereof. The invention is characterised in that the screen bars have, in the radial direction (V) of the screen drum, relative to the direction of viewing, side surfaces of which at least one is inclined to the radial (V) at an angle, that a conicity of between 14 and 35 DEG  results between the two side surfaces, to which at least largely corresponding side surfaces of the recesses of the support rings correspond, so that, after the deforming of support rods of corresponding length into the support rings, clamping of the screen bars in the support rings is established at these points, and that at least one of the side surfaces of the screen bars has at least one projection or a recess, the recesses or projections of the support rings corresponding in each case conversely to re-entrant or projection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A metal-encapsulated, gas-insulated switching installation (1) has a switching-chamber housing (4) and a cable-connecting housing (16) which is connected to the switching-chamber housing (4). Located between the two housings (4, 16) is a supporting insulator (14) which is provided with through-openings (22) for the insulating gas. Furthermore, a channel (24) is provided which starts in the cable-connecting housing (16) close to a connecting body (19) for the cable conductor (18) and which opens, after being deflected approximately through a right angle, in the switching-chamber housing (4). The channel (24) is effective in the case of interfering arcs in the cable-connecting housing (16) and favours extinguishing of the interfering arc (21) or moving it into the larger switching-chamber housing (4) which is provided with a device (23) for pressure relief. The described switching installation (1) is particularly suitable for the medium-voltage range up to 36 kV. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and to devices enabling two arbitrary substrates to be positioned with respect to each other and relates, more particularly, to a method for positioning a first substrate (2) on a second substrate (3), and the micromechanical positioning device (1) obtained. In a first embodiment, the two tenons (4) produced on the first substrate (2) are triangular and each include two planar bearing surfaces (4a, 4b). The two mortices (5) obtained on the second substrate (3) have a base, for example a rectangular or square base, extended by an isosceles triangle whose two equal sides constitute, for each mortice, two planar bearing surfaces (5a, 5b). After positioning the first substrate on the second substrate, or alternatively when the contact planes (2a, 3a) of the respective substrates are kept in a single plane, the conjugate bearing surfaces (4a, 5a; 4b, 5b) define two sets of conjugate bearing surfaces. In a second embodiment, the two tenons (4) produced on the first substrate (2) are cylindrical and each include two convex bearing surfaces (4a, 4b). The two mortices (5) obtained on the second substrate (3) are identical to those described previously. After positioning the first substrate on the second substrate, the conjugate bearing surfaces are in contact with each other and also define two sets of conjugate bearing surfaces (4a, 5a and 4b, 5b). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The technical field of the invention generally involves mount assemblies and in particular, a mount assembly is described for resiliently mounting a stabilizer bar on an automobile frame (12). The mount assembly comprises a bracket assembly and a bushing assembly. The bushing assembly includes an outer sleeve (9) adjacent to the bracket (8) and an inner sleeve (14) for contacting the stabilizer bar (10). The nesting sleeves are designed so as to provide restraint of axial movement while allowing ease of rotational movement. The restraint can be provided by a positive stop such as a projecting flange member (40, 41), or by cooperating conical or tapered surfaces (33, 34) which defines an increased frictional engagement and compression of the stabilizer bar as the inner sleeve (14) and the outer sleeve (9) move increasingly out of relative axial alignment.
