Abstract: Polyethersulfones derived from dihydroxybiphenyls or dihydroxybenzenes, especially 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, are isolated by crystallization from a solvent, preferably a water-immiscible aromatic solvent. Crystallization may be achieved by cooling from the reaction temperature to a temperature in the range of about 20-100° C., optionally with the use of a crystallization aid such as preformed polyethersulfone crystals. The crystallized polyethersulfone is then separated by filtration and by-product salts are removed therefrom by extraction with water.

Abstract: Apparatus, system and method precisely, quickly control flow of molten metal to metal-casting apparatus by pumping, braking or throttling. The Faraday-Ampère principle of current flow in a unidirectional magnetic field is employed. Permanent magnets comprising neodymium or similar high-energy, rare-earth materials provide "reach-out" magnetism. These neo-magnets, usually shown as cubes, are arranged in various powerful configurations driving intense unidirectional magnetic field B across a non-magnetic gap many times larger than economically feasible otherwise. This gap accommodates a conduit for pressurizing and moving a flow of molten metal. In making multiple identical castings, a controlled, intermittent, predetermined flow of molten metal is fed to a series of identical individual molds. The invention obviates needs for operating metallurgical valves or expensive tilting mechanisms for metallurgical furnaces. Existing furnaces too low to permit inflow by gravity may be rendered usable by embodiments of this invention.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a system for determining the spatial speed distributions in electrically conductive fluids, which guarantee replicable results for all speed components and avoid all contact with the fluid, or with the walls encompassing the latter. To achieve this, two different primary magnetic fields, which have a different direction in the total volume of fluid, are successively applied and the two induced magnetic fields, measured respectively at the detection points, are considered equally as necessary information for determining the spatial speed distribution. The system consists of conventional means comprising a pair of coils (1) which create a magnetic field for generating a primary magnetic field that penetrates the volume of fluid, a large number of magnetic field sensors (5) which are arranged outside the fluid for measuring the magnetic field induced by the interaction of the fluid motion and the generated primary field, a signal processor (6) placed downstream for receiving the measured values of the magnetic field sensors, an evaluation and memory unit (7) positioned downstream and an output device (8). According to the system, the pair of coils (1) is connected to a measuring and control unit (3) for measuring and temporally controlling the coil current in the pair of coils (1).

Abstract: Structures of direct current motors or ac commutator (Universal) motors which use a concentrated winding on the rotor with coils wound around the teeth. The number of commutator segments is higher than the number of rotor teeth. Several coils are wound around the same tooth. The terminals of the coils are connected to different segments of the commutator. The parallel paths of the armature winding are perfectly balanced. An equal current distribution through the parallel circuits of the armature is maintained and there is no circulation current between these parallel circuits. The problems related to commutation are reduced because the value of the coil inductances is low. The copper volume of the end-windings, the Joule losses and the axial length of the motor armature are lower than a lap or a wave winding with interlocked coils. Two kinds of structures with a concentrated winding are presented: some with rotor teeth with identical dimensions and some with rotor teeth with different dimensions.
