Abstract: A plasma mass filter for separating low-mass particles from high-mass particles in a multi-species plasma includes a cylindrical shaped wall which surrounds a hollow chamber. A magnet is mounted on the wall to generate a magnetic field that is aligned substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the chamber. Also, an electric field is generated which is substantially perpendicular to the magnetic field and which, together with the magnetic field, creates crossed magnetic and electric fields in the chamber. Importantly, the electric field has a positive potential on the axis relative to the wall which is usually zero potential. When a multi-species plasma is injected into the chamber, the plasma interacts with the crossed magnetic and electric fields to eject high-mass particles into the wall surrounding the chamber. On the other hand, low-mass particles are confined in the chamber during their transit therethrough to separate the low-mass particles from the high-mass particles. The demarcation between high-mass particles and low-mass particles is a cut-off mass Mc which is established by setting the magnitude of the magnetic field strength, Bz, the positive voltage along the longitudinal axis, Vctr, and the radius of the cylindrical chamber, "a". Mc can then be determined with the expression: Mc = ea<2)<Bz)<2> / 8Vctr. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dynamic molten mass guide sleeve disposed to articulate to compensate for differences in expansion between an inner hot flow hot channel injection and mold cavity with air gap insulation therebetween. Prior fixed molten mass guide sleeves required extremely stringent location deviations and often led to mold cavity ruptures or leakage as a result of differential expansion between the nozzle body having the hot flow channel and the mold cavity channel. The inventive sleeve is fitted with peripheral sealing lips at each end and is mounted between the body having the hot flow channel and the mold cavity (6). The sleeve compensates for differential heat expansion while enabling well-defined temperature separation in the mold feed orifice area of the injection mold by sealing the air gap (4).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système transpondeur optique sans fil qui comprend une antenne optique passive couplée par fibre optique à un module électronique actif. Le système transpondeur reçoit et émet des faisceaux lumineux respectivement en provenance de l'atmosphère et vers celui-ci et communique ainsi optiquement avec un second transpondeur optique. Des récepteurs, des émetteurs, des répéteurs, des commutateurs, des routeurs, etc., peuvent être organisés de façon similaire, c'est-à-dire présenter un couplage d'une ou de plusieurs antennes optiques passives et d'un module électronique actif réalisé au moyen d'un câble à fibre optique. En outre, on peut obtenir différentes topologies et organisations de réseaux au moyen d'au moins un des transpondeurs, récepteurs, émetteurs, répéteurs, commutateurs, routeurs, etc. couplés par fibre optique. De tels composants conviennent particulièrement bien à une utilisation dans différentes configurations de réseaux telles que des réseaux de diffusion, des réseaux point à multipoint etc., cela grâce à leur prix bas, à leur facilité d'installation et à la facilité du pointage de l'antenne, ainsi qu'à leur modularité et à leur évolutivité. Un routeur optique, servant à établir des liaisons sans fil avec un certain nombre d'abonnés, peut présenter une configuration fondée sur la démodulation et la remodulation de faisceaux lumineux, ou bien sur le réacheminement de faisceaux lumineux au moyen de miroirs déflecteurs réglables. L'invention concerne une infrastructure de réseaux de communication fondée sur la propagation atmosphérique des faisceaux lumineux.

Title: Easy to open self locking splash plate unit for spreading a liquid
Inventor: MAUNSELL CATHAL
IPC: A01C23/00
Filed: 2013-09-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to machinery used for spreading a liquid on land. In particular the invention provides a new device for attaching a splash plate unit to spreading equipment comprising a mounting plate; a backing plate; linkage arms; and a lever mechanism. The advantage of the invention is that it enables a splash plate unit to be quickly and easily opened to clear blockages with the minimum of operator effort. When the user rotates the operating lever, the device simultaneously unlocks and opens so that blockages can be cleared. When the lever is fully rotated the device locks in the open position. When the user rotates the operating lever in the opposite direction, the device closes and locks shut by means of an over centre lock. <Figure 2>

Abstract: The mechanism comprises longitudinal rails (12) and, for each door, a double slide assembly (14) of which a first slide (16) slides along the rails and a second slide (18), constrained to the door (A), moves at right angles to the first slide (16) between a retracted position in which the door is closed and an extracted position in which the door is opened, at a distance from said first position at least equal to the thickness of the door or a multiple thereof. A longitudinal traverse of the slide assembly (14) is allowed only when the second slide (18) is in the extracted position with respect to the first (16). The retracted position is forced by spring means (36) between the second slide and the first slide.
