Title: Controller for water heater system, program for controlling water heater system, and method for operating water heater system
Inventor: MAITANI HIROSHI
IPC: F24D11/02
Filed: 2011-04-07
Abstract: An operating method in a heat pump hot water supply system of an indirect heating method is provided by which an average COP during a water heating period can be improved and a risk of running out of hot water can be prevented from increasing. For a heat pump hot water supply system (1000) of the indirect heating method, a change in heat transfer efficiency of a second heat exchanger (29) is estimated by using either or both of a tank water temperature and a temperature of a second refrigerant flowing through a water circuit (21). When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be high, an operation switching unit (3) raises an output of a heat source device (20). When the heat transfer efficiency is determined to be low, the operation switching unit (3) lowers the output of the heat source device (20).

Title: Process and apparatus for growing mercury cadmium telluride layer by liquid phase epitaxy from mercury-rich melt.
Inventor: LOCKWOOD ARTHUR H
IPC: C30B19/04
Filed: 1981-10-21
Abstract: A process and apparatus for growing a layer of mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) on a substrate is used in the fabrication of infrared detectors. The growth of a layer of HgCdTe by liquid phase epitaxy from a melt comprising mercury, cadmium, and tellurium requires a relatively high temperature which causes the mercury to constanily vaporize from the melt, thereby constantly changing the composition of the melt and the HgCdTe layer grown from the melt. This problem is overcome by providing a mercury-rich melt and also by condensing mercury vapors escaping from the melt and returning the mercury to the melt. First, a crystal growth melt (36) comprising mercury, cadmium and tellurium is provided in a vertically-oriented crystal growth chamber (14). The melt (36) comprises 33.33 mole percent or more of mercury and is maintained at a predetermined temperature above the liquidus temperature thereof. A condensing means (such as 15) is provided atop the crystal growth chamber (14) in order to condense vapors of mercury which escape from the melt (36) and to return this condensed mercury to the melt, to thereby maintain the melt at a constant composition. The substrate (not shown) in the substrate holder (22) is contacted with this crystal growth melt (36) for a predetermined period of time while cooling the melt below its liquidus temperature at a predetermined rate sufficient to cause the crystal growth of the layer of HgCdTe on the substrate to a desired thickness. The layer of HgCdTe so formed is of uniform composition and of high purity and is formed at a relatively low growth temperature and relatively low system pressure.

Title: Method of forming shaped components from mixtures of thermosetting binders and powders having a desired chemistry
IPC: C04B35/632
Filed: 1990-05-25
Abstract: Shaped parts are formed from a powder having the desired chemistry of the finished part by mixing the powder with a thermosetting condensation resin that acts as a binder. The resin may be partially catalyzed, or additives or surfactants added to improve rheology, mixing properties, or processing time. Upon heating, the inherently low viscosity mixture will solidify without pressure being applied to it. A rigid form is produced which is capable of being ejected from a mold. Pre-sintered shapes or parts are made by injection molding, by using semi-permanent tooling, or by prototyping. Binder removal is accomplished by thermal means and without a separate debinding step, despite the known heat resistance of thermosetting resins. Removal is due to the film forming characteristic of the binder leaving open the part's pores, by providing oxidizing conditions within the part's pores as the part is heated, and by insuring that the evolving resin vapor diffuses through the pores by heating the part in a vacuum.

Title: Method and installation for sorting objects
IPC: B65G47/64
Filed: 1990-11-14
Abstract: A method for sorting objects, preferably tuberous roots, provides for feeding the objects one by one in a single row to a control zone and determining the minimum number of supporting elements of a conveyor section on which the object being analysed is projected orthogonally. The number of supporting elements gives the possibility of removing the object by removing the supporting elements forming that section within the addressing area. The addressing area is established depending on the sorting coefficient which is determined by means of measuring the current value of the sorting coefficient and comparing it with the predetermined value established in accordance with the user's requirements, with subsequent distribution of objects to the addresses depending on the comparison results. A device for implementing the method comprises a unit (1) for feeding the objects (2) one by one, a conveyor (3) with supporting elements (4), a device (5) for sending the objects to the addressees, an arrangement (6) for returning the supporting elements to their initial positions, an automatic control system (7) with a device (8) for measuring the current values of the sorting coefficient, actuating mechanisms (9) and a unit (10) for determining the number of supporting elements on which the object is projected orthogonally, and a unit (11) connected to it for determining the displacement of the supporting elements. The installation (8) for measuring the current values of the sorting coefficient is connected to the unit (10) for determining the number of supporting elements. The device provides for different types of the conveyor: linear, longitudinal, horizontally closed rotor type. The supporting elements may be mounted horizontally on one conveyor, on two conveyors oriented in parallel to each other or at an angle so as to provide a V-shaped channel for receiving the object to be analysed. The installation is controlled by an automatic control system based on an algorithm established in accordance with the user's requirements.

Title: Metal-resin composite plate, rocking actuator with composite plate, and method for production thereof
Inventor: TANAKA KENJI
IPC: G11B21/16
Filed: 1996-03-08
Abstract: A metal-resin composite plate obtained by joining a metal sheet (1, 12) and a resin sheet (2, 13). An insert member (3, 17) having a through-hole is buried into the resin sheet. The insert member is in close contact with the resin of the resin sheet at its peripheral portions other than its surface at which the through-hole is open. The metal sheet includes a metallic coupling member (4, 16) fixed thereto, and the metal sheet and the resin sheet are united by the coupling member which is fitted into the through-hole. The insert member and the resin around the insert member involve stresses (F3, F4) due to their elastic deformation, so that sufficient force is generated for firm connections between the coupling member and the insert member and between the insert member and the resin sheet. The stress of the surrounding resin results from elastic deformation (V2-V3), smaller than the deformation (V2) produced in the insert member, which can generate the stress (F3) in the inner member.
