Patent CA-2342345-C (CA)
Inventor: ROLLINS WILLIAM SCOTT III
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 1999-08-24
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pouvant à la fois augmenter le rendement spécifique d'une centrale à cycle mixte et apporter de la souplesse dans les caractéristiques assignées de la centrale, sans augmentation proportionnelle de la consommation spécifique de chaleur. Selon l'invention, le procédé d'amélioration de l'efficacité thermique des cycles mixtes peut souvent être réalisé par l'utilisation stratégique d'un apport supplémentaire de combustible et/ou de chaleur. En particulier, les turbines à gaz qui évacue dans des générateurs de vapeur à récupération de chaleur (HRSG) peuvent recevoir une alimentation additionnelle en combustible pour donner des rendements de turbine à vapeur beaucoup plus élevés et des puissances nominales globales beaucoup plus importantes, sans toutefois nuire à l'efficacité. De façon générale, ce système et ce procédé produisent une centrale à cycle mixte très performante, qui est principalement un cycle (finisseur) de Rankine. Des formes de réalisation exemplaires de l'invention incluent une charge (1304) entraînée par un moteur de cycle de tête (TCE) (1302), lequel est alimenté par un fluide de cycle de tête (TCF) (1301) évacuant dans un dispositif de récupération de chaleur (HRD) (1306). Le HRD (1306) est alimenté en combustible supplémentaire et/ou muni d'une source de chaleur additionnelle (1314) pour produire une quantité du fluide de cycle de fond (BCF) (1309) plus énergétique et/ou plus importante destinée à alimenter en énergie un moteur de cycle de fond (BCE) (1310), lequel entraîne une charge (1311) (potentiellement la même charge (1304) que le moteur de cycle de tête (TCE) (1302)). L'énergie contenue soit dans le TCF (1301) soit dans le BCF (1309) est utillisée pour alimenter le TCE (1302) et le BCE (1310) respectivement, mais ces fluides et/ou les échappements de leur moteur respectif peuvent également être utilisés pour mettre en oeuvre de nombreuses applications de cogénération.

Title: Elastically deformable truck hopper
Inventor: FEUEREISEN AZOCAR ALBERTO CRISTIAN
IPC: B62D33/02
Filed: 2001-07-19
Granted: 2009-03-17
Abstract: Truck bed hopper (1) of mining dump truck that is capable of elastically deform itself when it is subject to loading(s) or unloading(s) of material, built preferably of structural or of wear and tear steel wherein the general structure of the bed hopper is curved. In this manner, the great moments of inertia which are achieved with curved surfaces eliminate or allow obviating to a great extent the use of beams as main resistive elements. The present bed hopper (1) includes that the protective blinder (2) be preferably cylindrical, whereas the frontal wall (5) and floor (6) are preferably elliptical. The bottom of the bed hopper (1) externally comprises a plurality of transversal beams (7), preferably 4 to 6, even more preferably 5, which main function is to keep the bottom surface curved and transfer the strengths of the envelopment to the truck's body. Further, externally the bottom also comprises a plurality of support elements (8), preferably two, that are located at the front part, i.e., ahead of the rotation axis of the hopper. Said support elements only permit the support of the bed hopper on the truck's body and may be eliminated if the truck's body adapts itself to directly take in the transversal beams.

Abstract: A transfer device combines an advance-return drive mechanism and a clamp-unclamp drive mechanism. The transfer device operates from only one side of a press to position both drive mechanisms above a pair of feed bars thereby greatly reducing spatial constraints and costs and enabling an increase in speed. The feed bars operate to process a work piece along a process direction. The feed bars are cantilevered from the transfer device for easy use with a press, raw materials feeder, and product gatherer.

Title: Deterministic refrigerator defrost method and apparatus
Inventor: HOLMES JOHN S
IPC: F25D21/04
Filed: 2001-12-20
Granted: 2010-11-16
Abstract: A defrost control system for a self-defrosting refrigerator is configured to monitor a compressor load, determine whether at least a first defrost cycle is required based on the compressor load, execute at least one defrost cycle when required; and regulate the defrost cycle to conserve energy. A controller is operatively coupled to a compressor, a defrost heater, and a refrigeration compartment temperature sensor. The controller makes defrost decisions based on temperature conditions in the refrigeration compartment in light of other events, such as refrigerator door openings, completed defrost cycles, and power up events.  Defrost cycles are automatically adjusted as operating conditions change, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption that would otherwise occur in a fixed defrost cycle.

Abstract: A atomic beam generating method and apparatus for producing an atomic beam that is high in flow rate is disclosed which makes vacuum equipment simpler in construction, and is high in the rate of extraction of atoms, capable of adjusting its flow rate and applicable to many different atomic species. The atomic beam generating apparatus used produces a beam of atoms by extracting the atoms from a low temperature atomic cloud formed by laser cooling. The low temperature atomic cloud is formed by irradiating the atoms with at least two sets of laser lights in .a region of laser beam intersection in which they intersect, each of the sets of laser lights being made of a pair of laser beams which are opposite in direction of travel to each other, the laser beams intersecting in the region of laser beam intersection. In this region of laser beam intersection there is provided a laser beam shading zone in which one of the laser beams in each of the sets of laser lights that is traveling in a particular direction is obstructed to provide a shade therefor. The laser beam shading zone is so located in the region of laser beam intersection that in the laser beam shading zone a force is brought about that is effective to force atoms in the laser beam shading zone to move towards a preselected direction, thereby forming a beam thereof.
