Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for feeding a
granular or powderlike material to a pressing apparatus for
the dry pressing of the material. The device comprises
containers (10) for the materials and rollers (11) arranged at
openings of the containers (10). Each roller (11) has a cavity which
is suitable to be filled by the material and to be freed of
the material following a rotation of the rollers (11) so as to
pour the material into a mold (14). In the method, the rotation
of the rollers (11) is produced simultaneously with a movement of
the rollers (11) in a direction which lies at right angles to its
axis. The invention allows to obtain particular color
effects, such as colorings, color shades, basic decorations,
complex decorations, natural stone-like effects, et cetera,
on the resulting ceramic products, particularly tiles.

Abstract: A cryogenic rectification process and assembly extract oxygen from air at above ambient atmospheric pressure. The rectification has one or more pressurized columns (13) and a low pressure column (14). Incoming ambient process air (1) is compressed to a first pressure (3) which is approximately the same as that of the pressurized column (13). A portion (11) of the pressurized incoming ambient air (7) is fed to a heat exchanger (8) and cooled prior to release in the pressurized column (13). A flow of oxygen (31) is drawn from the low pressure column (14) and brought to a pressure which is higher than that of the operating pressure in the low pressure column (14). This gas (31) is then heated in the main heat exchanger (8) and discharged as the product (34). A process flow (21) is allowed to expand (22) yielding energy, and is then charged (23) into the low-pressure column (14). A portion of the energy yielded (22) is used to power a cold compressor (16). Especially, the flow of oxygen (31) from the low-pressure column (14) is brought to the release pressure (32) in liquid form, and evaporated by an indirect exchange of heat (18) with a second portion (12, 17) of compressed ambient air (7). The second portion (12) of compressed (3) air is then further compressed by the cold compressor (16) upstream of the indirect heat exchanger (18).

Abstract: A control system for auxiliary section range and/or splitter control
includes a direct ported control valve assembly having a spool (204) disposed within
a bore (200) of a cover housing (182), the spool having a differential area to bias the
valve and two sealing members (216, 218) radially biased by a spring (220) to direct
pressurized air or hydraulic fluid to an appropriate side of a piston to effect the
splitter and/or range shift of the transmission. The control valve assembly includes
components, such as the valve spool (204), which may be used in various
transmission applications in addition to components, such as the pilot cap (196) and
seal plate (230), which may be selected to control the logic (normally open or
normally closed) of the valve assembly and the apply rate of the range and/or splitter
cylinder depending upon the particular application. A filter/regulator is mounted to
the valve cover assembly to provide direct porting of the pressurized fluid supply to
eliminate connecting hoses.

IPC: G06F11/14

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method and an
apparatus that facilitates transparent failovers from a primary copy (206) of an object on
a first server (212) to a secondary copy (216) of the object on a second server (213) when the first
server fails, or otherwise becomes unresponsive. The method includes detecting
the failure of the first server; selecting the second server; and reconfiguring the
second server to act as a new primary server for the object. Additionally, the
method includes transparently retrying uncompleted invocations to the object to
the second server, without requiring explicit retry commands from a client
application program. A variation on this embodiment further includes winding up
active invocations to the object before reconfiguring the second server to act as
the new primary server. This winding up process may include causing
invocations to unresponsive nodes to unblock and complete. Another variation
includes blocking new invocations to the object after detecting the failure of the
first server, and unblocking these new invocations after reconfiguring the second
server to act as the new primary server. Hence, the present invention can greatly
simplify programming of client application programs for highly available systems.
It also makes it possible to use a client application program written for a non-highly
available system in a highly available system.

Abstract: A golf club head for hitting a golf ball toward a target
has a directional tendency to launch the golf ball in a
selected direction. Basic embodiments include a club
head having an asymmetric ball striking face such that
one side of the face, as measured from the centre of the
face, has a first bulge radius and the other side of the
face has a second bulge radius. The club head assumes a
directional tendency in the direction toward the smaller
bulge radius. Other embodiments of club heads with a
directional tendency have a striking face with a bulge
radius apex shifted either right or left of the centre of
the striking face such that a club face with the bulge
radius apex to the left results in a right directional
tendency and a club face with a bulge radius apex to the
right results in a left directional tendency. Further
embodiments of a club head may include a combination of a
shifted bulge radius apex and a different radius on each
side of the centre of the striking face.
