Patent EP-1369396-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCOTT GARRETT L
IPC: C03B40/027
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: A burner (16, 116, 216) of a surface-mixing type receives a
carbonaceous fuel, for example, an acetylene-based fuel, from a fuel line
(20) and an oxidant, such as relatively pure oxygen, from an oxidant line
(18), the oxidant being supplied to the burner at a rate insufficient to result in
complete combustion of the fuel, to thereby produced a sooty flame that is
useful in applying lubricating soot particles to a molten glass contacting
surface of a glass manufacturing machine. The burner, which is
intermittently operated by a solenoid valve (38) in the oxidant line and by a
solenoid valve (40) in the fuel line, has a fuel inlet passage (60) that extends
along a longitudinal central axis of a tip element (56) of the burner, and an
annular inlet passage (64) that surrounds the fuel inlet passage. The fuel
inlet passage, which is otherwise closed at its downstream end, terminates
in a multiplicity of separate passages (62) that are arranged in an annular
array and through which fuel exits from a burner tip in an annular pattern on
an interior of oxidant exiting from the burner in an annular pattern through a
passage (66) in an annulus between the tip element and a cap element (58)
of the burner. The burner serves to ensure rapid mixing of the fuel and
oxidant streams downstream of the burner, to thereby rapidly form an
ignitable mixture that can be ignited by a spark igniter (54). 2-way solenoid
valves (38, 40) are provided in the oxidant and fuel lines, respectively, to
permit the burner to be operated intermittently.

Abstract: A very high temperature sensor of a resonant integrated microstructure
having an electrostatic beam driver and an optical fiber pick-up for sensed
light from the beam. The high temperature sensor has no components that
are vulnerable to temperature up to 600 degrees C. Associated components
for detection, processing and driving are remote from the sensor
environment. By using different materials in the beam assembly, such as
tungsten for the beam, and sapphire for the substrate and the shell, the
sensor can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees C. Also, optical fiber
may be used for long distance connections between processing electronics
and the driver in the sensing device, by locating a photo detector just
outside, the very high temperature sensing environment and than using
optical fiber for sending long distance signals from the processor to the
driver photo detector, for eliminating electrical signal-to-noise problems.

Abstract: A tin-lead solder alloy containing copper and optionally silver
as its alloying constituents. The solder alloy consists essentially of, by
weight, about 55% to about 75% tin, about 11% to about 44% lead, up to
about 4% silver, nickel, palladium, platinum and/or gold, greater than 1% to
about 10% copper, and incidental impurities. The solder alloys contain a
small portion of CuSn intermetallic compounds, and exhibit a melting
mechanism in which all but the intermetallic compounds melt within a narrow
temperature range, though the actual liquidus temperature of the alloys may be
considerably higher, such that the alloys can be treated as requiring peak
reflow temperatures of about 250°C or less. The intermetallic compounds
precipitate out to form a diffusion barrier that increases the reliability of
solder connections formed therewith.

Abstract: In a vehicle dynamics control (VDC) system for a
four-wheel-drive vehicle employing a brake control system
regulating braking forces applied to road wheels
independently of each other and a differential mechanism
controlling a differential motion between front and rear
wheel axles, a VDC controller controls a braking force
of each road wheel depending on whether the vehicle is
in oversteering or understeering. The VDC controller
includes a braking-force compensation section that
compensates for a braking force of at least one of a first
wheel, which is subjected to vehicle dynamics control,
and a second wheel to which a transferred braking force
is transferred from the first wheel through the
differential mechanism, to reduce a braking force of the
second wheel and to prevent the braking force of the second
wheel from exceeding a lateral grip limit of the second
wheel during the vehicle dynamics control.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un article de quartz fondu, tel qu'un tuyau de chambre de cuisson ou qu'un creuset, avec une résistance au fluage renforcée. Cette résistance au fluage renforcée est le résultat d'une dévitrification maîtrisée de cet article de quartz fondu. On maîtrise cette dévitrification en revêtant cet article avec une suspension épaisse de silice colloïdale dopée avec des cations de métal, tels que du baryum, du strontium et du calcium. Ces cations de métal présents dans la suspension épaisse favorisent la nucléation et la croissance de cristaux de cristobalite dans le quartz fondu à une température comprise entre environ 1000 °C et environ 1600 °C. La cristobalite possède une viscosité considérablement plus élevée et, par conséquent, une plus grande résistance au fluage aux températures élevées, que celle du quartz fondu. Cette invention concerne aussi des procédés d'application d'un revêtement dopé sur un article de quartz fondu et d'amélioration de la résistance au fluage d'un article de quartz fondu.

Abstract: Round honeycomb rotor for wind generators and most propellers has bent tubular trapezoids, two or more concentric tubular cylinders and a variable number of round bent tubular trapezoids. Both cylinders and trapezoids form modular trapezoidal tubes, which have large wind contact surfaces. The concentric tubular cylinders of the round panel have bent pieces fitted in between them whose function is to minimise wind exit and multiply wind contact surfaces in wind generators. As for propeller rotors the number of round bent tubular trapezoids gets multiplied as well as its wind contact surfaces, which results in the optimum use of most centrifugal propelling forces thanks to the reduction of wind entrance and the amplification of wind exit.
