Abstract: The invention provides a mass of crystals, particularly diamond crystals, having a size of less than 100 microns and in which mass the majority of the crystals are faceted single crystals. The invention further provides a method of producing such a mass of crystals which utilizes crystal growth under elevated temperature and pressure conditions, the supersaturation driving force necessary for crystal growth being dependent, at least in part, on the difference in surface free energy between low Miller index surfaces and high Miller index surfaces of the crystals. Preferably, the method is carried out under conditions where the Wulff effect dominates.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for establishing control commands for electronic power converters, especially power converters with a modular design, whereby said modules are correspondingly grouped into parallel branches according to a previously found voltage system in order to provide a constant output voltage for an on-board power supply network. Said modules are also adjusted in a co-ordinated manner by means of a current control regulator which is superimposed on an output voltage regulator. The control commands for the modules are produced when one of two threshold values of a tolerance band are reached for the current regulator error iN*-iN of the total current iN flowing through the electronic power converter, whereby the width of said tolerance band can be predefined. According to the invention, a two-step strategy defines the module which is switched when an event occurs: total current reaches the upper/lower threshold value of the tolerance band. This strategy includes the following steps: 1) parallel branch p of the module is selected and 2) the position r of the row of the module of chosen branch p is selected.

Abstract: There is provided the combination of a corrugated solar collector panel and a building surface to which it is attached, in spaced relationship. At least some of the panel corrugations are flat and located such that they face in the general direction of the sun during at least a portion of the daylight hours. Generally uniformly distributed apertures are provided in the panel, and specifically at flat areas in the corrugations. The combination further includes photovoltaic cells mounted to the corrugations at flat portions thereof containing the apertures, with the cells being supported substantially parallel with and adjacent to but spaced apart from the flat surfaces, thus leaving air passages between the photovoltaic cells and the solar collector, whereby air can enter and leave the enclosed space by flowing through the air passages and along the undersides of the photovoltaic cells, thus removing excess heat build-up from the voltaic cells. In a variant, the photovoltaic cells are incorporated into individual panels adapted to span several corrugations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A modular insert for curb-inlet storm drains creates a composite collection system for trash and for oil or other hydrocarbons and related chemicals. A hopper contains a multitude of irregular, macroscopic fragments of a hydrophobic, compliant, oil-absorbent, copolymer material having high surface area. Preferably, the material is formed with a binder in a novel extrusion process. The fragments absorb and retain permanently a high quantity of oil and other chemicals passing through the hopper, while permitting a high water flow-through rate. The fragments are held in place by a removable bottom plate, which allows replacement of the filtering fragments, and an internal basket. Trash and debris are collected in the internal basket. The hopper is configured to be suspended in a storm drain adjacent to a curb inlet on a bracket and can be installed or serviced through a conventional manhole entry. The hopper has a side cutout that permit lateral overflow from one of the modular units to an adjacent one.
