Granted: 2006-08-08
Abstract: A dual reflector lighting system (10) having a housing, a ballast and a lamp socket (16) connected to receive a gaseous discharge or high intensity discharge (HID) lamp (14). An outer reflector (21) is mounted to the housing to reflect a portion of light from the lamp (14). An inner or auxiliary reflector (22) is mounted coaxially with the lamp (14) to reflect a substantial amount of light from the lamp (14) downwardly. The auxiliary reflector (22) is preferably adjustable relative to the lamp (14). The invention also covers a dual reflector assembly, including an outer reflector (21) and inner reflector (22), adjustable relative to each other which is adapted to be mounted to a HID fixture. The invention also covers an auxiliary reflector (22) having a predetermined size and shape adapted to fit within an outer reflector (21) of a HID fixture and preferably includes facilities for adjusting the auxiliary reflector (22) relative to the outer reflector (21).

Abstract: A plant for transmitting electric power between a direct voltage network and an alternating voltage network through a power station. A converter of a station has two current valves connected in series, each having one turn-on and turn-off type breaker and a diode connected anti-parallel therewith. Circuits are provided to detect the direction and the intensity of the current through the converter, as well as the current valve through which it flows to actuate the control apparatus of the basis of the detected current level and the identity of the valve carrying the current. The control apparatus operates to commutate current through the valve which is not carrying current when a detected current level in the current carrying valve exceeds a first predetermined level.

Abstract: The build up of unwanted components, particularly potassium and chloride values, in pulp mill recovery cycles is avoided by processing pulp mill recovery cycle precipitator ash. The ash first is dissolved in water and the aqueous solution then is evaporated to crystallize sodium sulfate, which then can be returned to the pulp mill recovery cycle. The mother liquor from such crystallization is subjected to extractive crystallization to recover further quantities of crystalline sodium sulfate for return to the pulp mill recovery cycle. The purge stream containing chloride values is removed from the cycle.

Abstract: Ce système de livre électronique personnel remplace un livre standard, tenu à la main, par un équivalent électronique. L'invention a la taille d'un livre et une configuration lui permettant de s'ouvrir et de s'utiliser comme un livre. Après l'avoir ouvert, l'utilisateur voit deux écrans tactiles opposés comparables à des pages, avec une impression en noir sur fond blanc. Des icônes représentent les informations mises en mémoire électroniquement (illustrations, audioclips, livres, messages électroniques, fax, jeux, magazines, films, compositions musicales, journaux, photographies, logiciels, vidéoclips, etc.), que l'utilisateur sélectionne en touchant une icône. Quand un livre, un magazine, un journal, etc., est sélectionné, sa table des matières s'affiche et l'utilisateur peut lire page par page ou aller directement à une certaine page en touchant la sélection choisie dans la table des matières. La fermeture du livre électronique arrête automatiquement le dispositif. Si l'utilisateur touche un numéro de page avant de fermer le livre, un signet s'insère de façon qu'en rouvrant le livre, l'utilisateur se retrouve à la même page. Des matières nouvelles imprimées ou multimédia, peuvent être téléchargées à partir d'un serveur éloigné, c'est-à-dire d'une "librairie", et les matières anciennes, livres lus, etc., peuvent être effacées de façon à faire de la place pour les nouvelles.

Title: A floor structure of a vehicle
Inventor: HASSHI SUEHIRO
IPC: B62D25/20
Filed: 1998-03-16
Granted: 2004-09-28
Abstract: In a floor structure of a vehicle comprising: left and right side sills; a substantially flat floor panel extending between the left and right side sills; and a cross member for connecting the left and right side sills, the cross member comprises: left and right upper members which extend inwardly from the left and right side sills, respectively, and attached to a top surface of the floor panel with their opposing inward ends spaced from each other; and a lower member extending laterally across a part of a lateral length of the vehicle and attached to an under surface of the floor panel. In the above floor structure, an open space formed beside the lower member can accommodate external piping under the floor panel, and the floor surface can be substantially flat by placing front seats over the upper members. Thus, a floor structure is achieved in which the floor surface is substantially flat and the floor is placed at a lower position.      The upper and lower members connected via the floor panel can ensure sufficient rigidity of the floor structure.

Abstract: A support or hanger for an electric heating element in a heat treating furnace is disclosed. The heating element support includes a support arm having first and second end portions. First and second ceramic sleeves extend transversely through the support arm and a bracket surrounds at least three sides of the support arm. The bracket is dimensioned and positioned to engage with, and thereby support, the electric heating element. First and second pairs of ceramic spacers are disposed annularly on said first and second ceramic sleeves, respectively. The ceramic spacers are positioned between the bracket and the support arm to prevent contact between the support arm and the bracket. A pin is disposed within each of the first and second ceramic sleeves and extends through the bracket to support and retain the ceramic sleeves, the ceramic spacers, and the bracket on the support arm. In this arrangement, the heating element bears on the metallic bracket and does not cause wear or damage to the ceramic elements. The bracket also provides a shield against contamination and metallization of the ceramic components. A cap is disposed over the first end portion of the support arm and a portion of the bracket adjacent thereto and is supported and retained on the bracket by the inboard retaining pin. The cap provides a shield for the ceramic components, particularly those that are disposed along the floor or bottom of the furnace hot zone.

Abstract: Propylene is converted to propylene oxide in a vapor phase oxidation process employing a silver catalyst supported on an alkaline earth metal carbonate and containing both a potassium salt such as potassium nitrate and a molybdenum promoter. The potassium salt and the molybdenum promoter may be simulatneously supplied by the use of a potassium salt of a molybdenum oxyanion. The efficiency of the process is greatly enhanced through the simultaneous inclusion of carbon dioxide and an organic halide in the feedstream. The feedstream need not contain a nitrogen oxide species such as NO to attain high propylene oxide selectivity.

Abstract: An apparatus for restricting pivoting of an industrial vehicle axle and maintaining the vehicle stability without sacrificing the vehicle's driving performance.  Pivoting of the axle with respect to the vehicle's body is temporarily restricted in accordance with the yaw acceleration when the vehicle is turned.  The acceleration value for limiting restriction is varied in accordance with the stability of the vehicle, which is determined by the state of the carried load. The limit value is relatively high when the load state causes the vehicle to be relatively stable and is relatively low when the load state causes the vehicle to be relatively unstable.
