Title: Drop tube type granular crystal producing device
Inventor: NAKATA JOSUKE
IPC: C30B11/00
Filed: 2002-05-13
Granted: 2006-08-24
Abstract: A drop tube type particulate crystalline body producing device is a device for creating a substantially spherical crystalline body by solidifying a particulate melt of an inorganic material while allowing it to free-fall inside a drop tube. This device 1 has a melt formation device 2, drop tube 3, gas flow formation means for forming inside the drop tube 3 a gas flow of cooling gas, and recovery mechanism 5 for recovering a crystalline body 25a from the lower end of the drop tube 3. The drop tube 3 comprises an introducing tube 30, cooling tube 31, and solidification tube 32, where the cooling tube 31 is configured such that the cross sectional area thereof becomes smaller toward the bottom such that the cooling gas flow speed becomes substantially equal to the free fall speed of the particulate melt, and the solidification tube 32 is connected to the lower end of the cooling tube 31 and has a cross sectional area enlarged discontinuously from the lower end of the cooling tube 31. In a proximity of the upper end of the solidification tube 32, the flow speed of the cooling gas is rapidly reduced and the gas pressure increases, whereby a crystal nucleus is generated in the melt in a supercooled state, and the melt is crystallized at once. <IMAGE>

Title: Modified spanning tree protocol for metropolitan area network
Inventor: FINN NORMAN W
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2003-10-21
Granted: 2009-01-08
Abstract: A system and method permits the creation of very-large metropolitan area networks (MANs) using Layer 2 (L2) switching technology. Different groups of L2 switches are logically organized into Islands. Connected to each Island are a plurality of customers sites, and an interconnect fabric couples the Islands together. The Islands cooperate to provide a Virtual Ethernet Connection (VEC) to each set of customer sites being coupled together. Customers identify their traffic that corresponds to a VEC by labeling or tagging it with a Customer-Equipment VLAN Identifier (CE-VLAN ID). Within each Island, the CE-VLAN ID specified by the customer's traffic (and hence the corresponding VEC) is mapped to a unique MAN Provider-Equipment VLAN ID (PE-VLAN ID). To prevent the formation of loops, the Islands run the Inter-MAN Control Protocol (IMCP), which represents a modified version of the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).

Title: Electrosurgical generator and system
Inventor: AMOAH FRANCIS
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2005-09-27
Granted: 2011-05-12
Abstract: In an electrosurgical generator for generating radio frequency power, the generator comprises a radio frequency output stage having three or more output connections, one or more sources of output power coupled to the output stage, and a controller operable to cause the generator to supply a first cutting RF waveform to the output connections or a second coagulating RF waveform to the output connections. In a combined mode, the controller causes the generator to deliver both first and second RF waveforms, the controller including means for feeding the waveforms to the output connections such that the first RF waveform is delivered between a first pair of the output connections, and the second RF waveform is delivered between a second pair of the output connections. The combined mode is adjustable between various settings, each setting having a different proportion of the first and second RF waveforms. In response to a operator-actuated input signal, the controller causes the generator to supply an output waveform starting at a predetermined start setting, ending at a predetermined end setting, and changing between the start and end settings according to a predetermined progression.

Granted: 2011-08-25
Abstract: Internal Combustion Engine with Torque Converter Abstract An internal combustion engine with a torque converter includes a crankshaft (30) on which the torque converter is mounted. The crankshaft (30) is formed with an oil 5 passage extending along the axis of the crankshaft (30), an inlet hole (35) for supplying a hydraulic fluid from the oil passage to the torque converter, and an outlet hole (36) for discharging the hydraulic fluid from the torque converter to the oil passage. The crankshaft (30) is provided with a shaft bearing (55) for supporting a rotating shaft for the torque converter. The inlet hole (35) is so provided as to contact with the shaft bearing io (55). That is, the inlet hole (35) is located at an axial end of the shaft bearing (55). With this arrangement, a flow resistance due to the shaft bearing (55) can be greatly reduced to thereby allow smooth supply of the hydraulic fluid into the torque converter. Accordingly, even when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is low and the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid is therefore high, a necessary oil quantity and oil pressure in the torque is converter can be obtained. The axial end of the shaft bearing (55) corresponds to an axial end positioned near the rotating shaft for the torque converter. C,4 co CY) C%4 m cv CY) co co co to CO 0 .... ....... ..... .. .
