Patent EP-0790391-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KALINA ALEXANDER T
IPC: F01K23/04
Filed: 1997-02-07
Abstract: Converting heat in a primary fluid (e.g., steam) to useful energy by multistage expansion of the primary fluid, heating of a multicomponent working fluid in a separate closed loop using heat of the primary fluid, and expansion of the multicomponent working fluid. The primary fluid in a vapor state is expanded in a first stage expander to obtain useful energy and to produce a partially expanded primary fluid. The partially expanded primary fluid stream is then separated into liquid and vapor components and split into a vapor stream (which is expanded in a second stage expander) and a further primary stream (which used to heat the multicomponent working fluid).

Abstract: Cryogenic apparatus comprising a liquefier (11) and a dual column system distillation column system (81) selectively operates in a first mode during which only liquid nitrogen (130) is produced and a second mode during which liquid nitrogen (130) and liquid oxygen (106) are produced. By adjusting the time of operation in each mode, any ratio of liquid nitrogen (130) to liquid oxygen (106) greater than the ratio achieved during the second mode of operation can be achieved. In the first mode of operation, a condenser (88) is used to condense the lower pressure column gaseous nitrogen into lower pressure column nitrogen condensate (122) against at least a portion (146) of the crude oxygen liquid (92) from the higher pressure column (82), at least a portion (108) of the oxygen-enriched liquid (104) from the lower pressure column (86), at least a portion (138) of the liquefied air (134), or mixtures thereof. In the second mode of operation, said condenser (88) is not used; instead, all of the crude oxygen liquid (92) is introduced into the lower pressure column (86), which produces a liquid oxygen product (106) and a low pressure overhead waste stream (152) containing nitrogen.

out of the individual channels, the synthesis image signal is used for displaying a
multi-screen, a moveable cursor image is superimposed on the multi-screen for
designating one small screen corresponding to the desired channel. The channel
designated by the cursor image is detected based on the control information, and

Abstract: A phase change type optical disk in which recording is performed in land portions and
groove portions, and which eliminates the detrimental effects of narrowing of the track pitch.
The optical disk includes a disk substrate having a refractive index n and performs recording
in land portions and in groove portions using a phase change between amorphous and crystalline,
with an illuminating light having wavelength λ. A groove depth, which is the
difference in level between a land portion and a groove portion, is limited in the range of
numerical values of λ/(3.78n) or greater. Moreover, the groove depth may be set to any
value close to λ/(3n), {λ/(3n) + λ/(2n)}, {λ/(6n) + λ/(2n)}. Furthermore, while the groove
depth is made deep, the roughness width of the groove sidewalls is kept to 50 nm or less, or
to 20 nm or less. Moreover, the taper angle of the groove sidewalls is set at 60° or more,
80° or more, or 84° or more.

Abstract: In a method and system are provided for trunking multiple links between a switch and a
server, server drivers recognise and automatically configure additional installed network
interface cards (NICs) or multi-port NICs as group members. A monolithic driver, or an
overlaying driver shim makes the group of NICs appear to be a single NIC to the server
operating system and clients. Multiple NICs having the same MAC addresses and appearing
on different ports are connected directly to a switch which treats the group as a single logical
port. Using a deterministic algorithm, the switch looks up a received packet's destination in
the address table. A list of possible ports for reaching the server and a flag indicating that the
server is to be reached via this trunked group of ports are retrieved. The switch selects a port
based upon the packet's source address. On the trunk to the clients, the server driver performs
the same deterministic algorithm on the destination addresses. The invention supports fault
tolerance. In one embodiment, a single switch is connected to a server via multiple NIC links.
In another embodiment, the server is connected via multiple NIC links to a plurality of
switches. To mitigate effects of the same source MAC address appearing on packets received
from multiple ports in a group, the switch is notified that it is acceptable to see the server's
MAC address appearing on several ports and is directed not to notify the system operator
thereof.

Abstract: The invention described is an energy absorbing bearing with a primary application in the seismic isolation of a structure from the ground or parts of other structures. It may also be used to dampen other forces on structures on which it is installed. The bearing consists of end plates (12, 14) separated by a laminate of resilient (16) and stiffening layers (19). In a preferred embodiment there is a plastically deformable insert (22) within the laminate. The laminate interfaces with the end plates in each bearing are secured near the central axis from end plate to end plate, but not near the peripheries. The advantage provided is allowing a wider range of forces to be absorbed than with known bearings of this type. Also described are novel laminae and novel means for securing the laminae and end plates.
