Title: Method and apparatus for the production of metal granules
Inventor: LUNDSTROM PER-AKE
IPC: B22F9/08
Filed: 1990-05-25
Abstract: Method and apparatus for the production of metal granules from a molten metal are disclosed. A molten metal stream (19) is directed against an impact element (8) located above the surface of water in a water tank. The impact of the molten metal upon the impact element causes the molten metal to disintegrate into drops (20) which spread out radially from the impact element. The drops fall down into the water below the impact element in an annular region a certain radial distance from the impact element. The radial distance is varied by varying the velocity of the molten metal stream relative to the impact element at the instant of impact, and/or by varying the height of the impact element above the water surface, in order to substantially continuously vary the radius of the annular region in which the molten metal drops hit the water surface. By using the method and apparatus of the present invention it is possible to granulate metals and metal alloys having a low sinking rate in water and a high enthalpy.

Patent AU-6470390-A (AU)
Title: Dc/dc converter switching at zero voltage
Inventor: BASSETT JOHN A
IPC: H02M3/158
Filed: 1990-10-18
Abstract: A two switch, DC/DC converter provides sufficient inductive energy storage at the termination of the "on" period of each switch to alter the charge on the intrinsic and stray capacitance of the combination of switches producing zero voltage across the alternate switch prior to its turn on. A short dead-band between the turn on pulses provided by the control circuit allows time for this transition. Thus the energy stored in the capacitance of the switches is returned to the source and load rather than being dissipated in the switching devices. This greatly improves the efficiency of the converter particularly when operating at high frequency. The unique topology of the converter provides other new and useful characteristics in addition to zero voltage switching capability such as operation at constant frequency with pulse-width-modulation for regulation, quasi-square wave output current, and the ability to integrate the magnetic elements with or without coupling.

Filed: 1998-03-17
Abstract: A composite elastomeric spring having a predetermined final shape and including a first member of elastomeric material having a first durometer hardness and a second member of elastomeric material having a second durometer hardness is disclosed. The second member has a predetermined initial shape complimentary to an initial shape of the first member. The second member is positioned adjacent and in circumferential surrounding relation relative to the first member to define a preform composite spring member. After the second member is positioned about the first member, a force is applied to the preform composite spring member sufficient to simultaneously compress the first member and the second member thereby permanently changing the initial shapes of the first member and second member are permanently changed from their respective predetermined initial shape such that the first and second members are thereafter maintained in captured relationship relative to each other. The force is then removed from and thereby allowing the preform composite spring to transmute to the final shape of the composite elastomeric spring.

Title: Excess-flow valve
IPC: F16K17/36
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: An automatically operating valve for use for example in a forecourt fuel pump has a body (10) defining a flow passage (20) within which is formed a valve seat (22), the body having a weakened zone (16) around the flow passage (20) such that an impact on the body will fracture the body at the weakened zone. A valve member (30) is mounted for movement within the flow passage (20) and is engageable with the valve seat (22) to close the valve. A closing mechanism effects movement of the valve member (30) to its closed position in the event that the body (10) is fractured at the weakened zone. Further, the valve member (30) is configured to move to its closed position under the influence of excessive flow of liquid through the flow passage (20).
Patent AU-7625681-A (AU)
Title: Power capacitor structure and method of assembly
Inventor: HOLTZMAN BARRY LYN
IPC: H01G4/38
Filed: 1981-10-12
Abstract: A power capacitor and method of making it employs the technique of stacking capacitor sections together in an enclosure of which each section includes rolled electrode foils and dielectric layers of which at least one of the electrodes has a rolled edge resulting in a greater thickness in that portion of the section. In order to permit thorough impregnation of the section, the winding tension is deliberately made loose and the initially resulting section is insufficiently tight to retain conductive tabs reliably in contact with the foil electrodes. The stacked sections have, however, between them in the body portion intermediate the rolled edges, one or more sheets of material that compress the body portion and insure reliable pressure contact thereat while not interfering with the impregnation of the fluid throughout the section.

IPC: B01F27/91
Filed: 1991-07-08
Abstract: The impellers have a plurality of fluidfoil blades (12,14,16) and have camber and twist. The geometric pitch or blade angle increases from the tip (24) of the blade towards their axis of rotation in a manner to provide an over pitched condition so that the pitch ratio of the blades at 40% of the blade radius from the axis is greater than the pitch ratio at the tip. The blades are preferably smoothly tapered and increased in width from the tip towards the axis. The impeller blades are mounted on a hub (18) connected to a drive shaft. The blades may decrease in width where they connect to the hub. The pitch angle at the tip is in the range of 18 DEG  to 30 DEG (preferably about 20 DEG ). The angle at the tip of two diametrically disposed blades of a four blade impeller may have a different blade angle at the tip than the other pair of blades. A pair of impellers may be used. These impellers may be of different diameter and disposed in close proximity so that they are in dependent relationship (preferably spaced apart by less than the diameter of the larger impeller). <IMAGE>
