Abstract: A gas storage system formed of a continuous pipe wound in plural layers, each layer having plural loops. The pipe may be distributed within a container, which may serve as a carousel for winding the pipe and as a gas containment device. When containers, each containing a continuous pipe are stacked upon each other, the weight of upper containers may be born by the walls of lower containers, thus preventing lower layers of pipe from suffering stresses due to crushing by upper layers. A method of transporting gas to a gas distribution facility including obtaining a supply of gas at a gas supply point remote from the gas distribution facility, injecting the gas into a continuous pipe bent to form plural layers, each layer including plural loops of pipe, transporting the continuous pipe along with the gas to the gas distribution facility preferably in a ship and discharging the gas at the gas distribution facility. It is preferred that cooling of the pipe during discharging of the gas be conserved so that during subsequent filling the pipe is initially cool. Also, in a further aspect of the invention, during filling, the gas pressure should be maintained as constant as possible for example by controlled release of an incompressible liquid from the pipe as the pipe is filled with gas. Energy from the incompressible liquid may then be recovered or dissipated outside of the pipes.

Abstract: A micromechanical ejection pump for extracting small fluid volumes from a flowing sample fluid is provided with a substrate, and a canal for pressurized working fluid. The micromechanical ejection pump also has a canal for ejecting a fluid volume from the sample fluid. The working fluid canal runs into the extension of the sample fluid canal discharging crosswise thereto. The ejection canal connected to the sample fluid canal branches off from the working fluid canal opposite to the sample fluid canal. The working fluid canal and the ejection canal have in particular a substantially similar cross-section of 0.01-0.12 mm2, wherein the ratio of the cross-section of the sample fluid canal to the cross-section of the working fluid canal or the ejection canal is preferably between 0.2 and 0.5, more particularly between 0.3 and 0.4 and most preferably 0.35.

Abstract: A method for reducing the exhaust pollution emissions in a two-stroke sliding vane internal combustion engine. First, fresh air is inducted into a vane cell, and fuel is injected into the cell at an ultra-lean fuel-air equivalence ratio less than about 0.65. The fuel is injected at a location such that a circumferential distance at mid-cell-height to the stator site at the onset of combustion is at least about 4 times a vane cell height at intake. The ultra-lean fuel-air combination is then compressed and thoroughly premixed prior to combustion to a dimensionless concentration fluctuation fraction below about 0.25. The ultra-lean, thoroughly premixed fuel-air combination is then combusted. The combusted fuel-air combination is purged after an expansion cycle. The premixing step prior to combustion may use inclined airfoils within the intake duct to produce counter-rotating mixing vortices.

Abstract: The method involves measuring the entry speed of each vehicle axle entering the section (1) of track using a speed sensor. The entry speed is used with the braking characteristic of the one or more rail brakes (5) to derive a start and end time point (t0-t4) for the period during which the axle occupies part (11,13,15) of the track section. An auxiliary signal is generated at the start time point and is reset at the end time point for each vehicle axle's occupation of the section of track. The control signal (st) is generated if there is no auxiliary signal.

Abstract: A target for sputtering is subjected to a surface treatment process and special packaging after target manufacture for improved sputtering performance and process and yield by reducing particulates. The sputtering target is first surface treated to remove oxides, impurities and contaminants. The surface treated target is then covered with a metallic enclosure and, optionally, a passivating barrier layer. The metallic enclosure protects the target surface from direct contact with subsequently employed packaging material such as plastic bags, thereby eliminating sources of organic materials during sputtering operations. The surface treatment of the target removes deformed material, smearing, twins, or burrs and the like from the target surface, reducing "burn-in" or sputter conditioning time prior to production sputtering of thin films.

Abstract: The fourdrinier section of a machine for the production of a paper or cardboard fiber web has a flexible support belt where the two fourdriniers come together to form a double fourdrinier zone.  The fourdrinier section (10), of a machine for the production of a paper or cardboard fiber web (12), has a flexible support belt (22) where the two fourdriniers (16,18) come together to form a double fourdrinier zone (14). The flexible support belt (22) is cylindrical, along the support zone (24) where the movement path (38) diverges from a circular track (36). The path line has a curvature radius which is larger than the radius of the circular path and especially larger than the average curvature radius of the total path (48) of the rotating support belt (22). The surface of the flexible belt (22) is structured to hold water by surface profiles and/or blind drillings. The flexible belt (22) and its inner support (40) are at a gap from each other in the support zone (24), along the direction (L) of web travel. The fourdrinier (18) at the double fourdrinier zone (14), away from the support belt (22), is pressed by pliable inner press units with intermediate spaces (44) between them. Both fourdriniers (16,18), with the wet web (12) between them, are pressed against the flexible support belt (22). The press units (42) are web shaping bars combined with a web shaping box (46). Suction slits are directed at the inner side of the fourdrinier (18) away from the support belt (22), opposite the inner belt support (40) and/or intermediate zones (44). A further support is provided for the flexible support belt (22), in at least a further zone along a path (49) within its circular path (36), to form a zone together with another machine section and especially the stock inlet, and two spaced supports (40) where the flexible support belt (22) travels in a straight path between them. The guide movement of the flexible support belt (22) is assisted by an overpressure on it within a sealed zone (50) at the side away from the supports (40). The flexible support belt (22) passes round an inner pipe (52), with seals (54) to define the inner ring zone held at an overpressure of 50-100 mbar. The rotating flexible support belt (22) is fixed by side cover disks. The inner side of the flexible support belt (22) is lubricated by a fluid, and the supports (40) are structured for the use of a fluid lubricant. The lubrication has a hydrodynamic and/or hydrostatic action. An Independent claim is included for a belt guide system with supports (40) within the loop formed by the flexible support belt (22). The flexible support belt (22) has a generally circular and cylindrical path, with a section (38) of a larger curve radius at the fourdrinier (16,18) support zone (24) than the remainder of its circular path (36).

Abstract: A vibrating member (31) connected to a frequency transmitter (41) produces relative movement between the injection cylinder (21) and the material conveying unit (22). The frequency can be varied within a range which sets up a resonance vibration in the cylinder and conveying unit. An Independent claim is made for a method for influencing the melt flow between the cylinder and conveying unit in which forces applied to the melt effect a transverse movement with a frequency in the ultrasonic range. Preferred Features: The vibrating member (31), which is a piezoelement, is located either between the material conveying unit (22) and power unit (51) or is connected to the injection cylinder (21) which with the injection nozzle is decoupled from the molding tool to prevent vibration transfer. The vibrating member can be located either in a housing (71) or clamped between two flanges. Vibration decoupling can be effected by a sliding ring or a damper. The material conveying unit (22) can be a screw (23) with a sliding contact (43) between the vibrator and frequency transmitter (41) or a screw with a frequency transmitter connected to a coil surrounding the drive rod (52) and magnetically coupled to another coil connected to the vibrator. The material conveying unit may also be a solid or tubular piston. A melt temperature sensor (81) is connected to the frequency transmitter which functions in an ultrasonic range, e.g. 10-40kHz.
