Filed: 1994-06-30
Abstract: The invention concerns a method in the regulation of a multi-layer headbox and a multi-layer headbox for a paper machine/board machine. In the method, for the formation of the different layers in the web, in the multi-layer headbox, at least two pulp suspensions (M1,M2) of different pulp concepts are made to flow, said pulp suspensions forming the different layers in the web. The flow of a pulp suspension (M2) that forms one of the layers in the web is regulated by regulating the component flows (Q3.1, Q3.2...Q3.n) that constitute said flow and the concentrations of said component flows independently from one another. Hereby, by means of said regulation applied to the particular layer, the total flow of the pulp suspension (M) leaving the headbox is regulated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cloth pocket is described which includes a unitary body formed out of a rectangular sheet of cloth material.  The body has a first fold and a second fold adjacent each of a bottom edge,  a  first  side  edge  and a  second side  edge  of  the rectangular sheet.  The folds create a first band of material from each of the edges to the first fold and a second band of material from the first fold to the second fold.  The second band of material is of a consistent selected width along each of the edges.  The first bands are secured onto a workpiece adjacent the first fold, thereby creating a generally box-like pocket a depth of which is determined by the selected width of the second band.    The pocket is stronger and yet is less expensive to make.

Title: A fuel nozzle for a turbine having dual capability for diffusion and premix combustion and methods of operation
Inventor: BEAUDOIN RONALD J
IPC: F23R3/12
Filed: 1995-02-23
Abstract: The fuel nozzle includes an annular chamber defined between a housing and a central tube. At the downstream end of the-tube, inner and outer swirlers are provided in communication with the upstream chamber and a combustion zone downstream of the swirlers. When fuel gas is supplied the inner swirler, a portion of the air flowing through the chamber mixes in the inner swirler with the supplied fuel for holding a diffusion flame in a downstream diffusion mixing cup. The balance of the air flowing through the chamber through the outer swirler is segregated from the air supplied the inner swirler by a circumferentially extending splitter vane. At an upstream portion of the chamber a plurality of spokes pass into the chamber for supplying fuel gas to the chamber when the nozzle operates in a premix combustion mode. When operating in a premix combustion mode, fuel gas is cut off from the inner swirler and supplied to the spokes. The fuel and air are mixed in the chamber and pass through both the inner and outer swirlers, forming a premix flame front within a downstream premix cup in the combustion zone.

Abstract: A time-domain reflectometry device and method are provided wherein TDR may be performed on active Ethernet systems.  A crossover network provides proper impedance termination both for pulse infor-mation generated by the TDR and for DC path signals.

Filed: 1995-07-27
Abstract: In a method of detecting motion vector data indicative of motion of a partial area in an input picture from any area on a reference picture, a first distortion between a partial area constructed by fields of the input picture and a partial area constructed by fields of the reference picture is calculated as a  first evaluation value;  a position of the partial area constructed by the fields of the reference picture at which the first evaluation value becomes the minimum value is detected; a search windowon a frame of the reference picture is set on the basis of a detected position of the partial area constructed by the fields of the reference picture previously detected; and a second distortion between a partial area constructed by a frame in the set search window and a partial area con-structed by a frame of the input picture is calculated as a second evaluation value, and a position of the partial area constructed by the frame of the reference picture at which the second evaluation value becomes the minimum value is detected.  Therefore, the frame vectors can be detected on the basis of the field vector detection positions, so that the amount of calculations required to retrieve frame vectors can be reduced markedly,  without degrading the detection precision of the frame vectors.

A vacuum centrifuge (5) is positioned so as to pivot inside of the housing (5'), whereby the space (7) between the centrifuge (6) and the hous-ing (5') can be placed under variable reduced pressure (pu), whereby the reduced pressure is adjustable in such a way that, during rotation, essentially only the bearing friction of the centrifuge still occurs but the air friction of the outer wall of the centrifuge is largely sup-pressed.
