Title: Apparatus for bending a strand in a continuous casting installation
Inventor: VATERLAUS ARTHUR
IPC: B22D11/128
Filed: 1982-04-27
Granted: 1985-12-12
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for bending a strand in a continuous casting installation for metals, especially steel, the ferrostatic pressure of the liquid core or pool of the cast strand is supported at a transition curve along a bending path between a circular arcuate-shaped roller apron path or track and a straight roller apron path or track by means of pairs of support rolls. In order to obtain uniform low elongation velocities at the strand skin or sheel throughout the entire transition curve for the purpose of improving the surface quality of the cast strand and for avoiding structural flaws at the solid-liquid interface as well as for simplifying the adjustment, alignment and maintenance work, the transition curve along the roller apron track is continuously accommodated to changing casting and/or strand parameters by the action of the strand itself.

Abstract: A product-carrying tray (1) has longitudinally slotted end members (3) for sliding engagement on guide rails in a conveyor installation or storage unit. Transverse edges (2) of the tray are provided with coupling members (5) for interengagement with other like units also accommodated on the guide rails. In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling members (5) are defined by interengaging hook structures consisting of projecting portions (7) and laterally extending end portions (6). The tray of the invention is especially suited to accommodating food products within a storage or treatment chamber. The tray may however also serve as a product-carrying element in a conveyor installation. Apart from the hook-type interconnection illustrated, a multiplicity of other interconnecting arrangements may be provided, including, inter alia, alternative mechanical structures and magnetic coupling. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus for preventing separation of a down-hole motor from a drill string
Inventor: BEASLEY THOMAS R
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1991-10-22
Granted: 1993-10-28
Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for use in a drill string 10 to prevent separation of a lower tubular member 16 from an upper tubular member 15 by a rotational force applied from a down-hole motor 22. The down-hole motor 22 is rotated by drilling fluid pumped from the surface, through a passage formed within the drill string 10, and into the down-hole motor 22. A valve 36 is positioned in the passage in the drill string 10 and has a first operating position adapted for passing the drilling fluid to the down-hole motor 22, and a second operating position adapted for substantially blocking the drilling fluid from being delivered through the down-hole motor 22. The valve is of a two piece construction, having a first body 44 connected to an upper tubular section 14 and a second body 46 connected to the down-hole motor 22. Thus, longitudinal movement between the upper tubular section 14 and the down-hole motor 22, which is a result of rotation of the lower tubular section 16 by the motor 22, causes corresponding longitudinal movement of the first and second bodies 44, 46 between the first and second operating positions. <IMAGE>

Granted: 2003-03-13
Abstract: A composting system and method incorporating a vertical insulated composting tower with one or more compartments. The base of each compartment being fitted with a plenum and grate through which air is self induced and output is regularly removed. The method of composting biodegradable waste material utilises a plug flow principle including inducing low air flow rates through a compost pile using column energy. The method utlises high temperature pyro/thermopylic micro-organism activity in the compost pile and retaining pile energy above levels by controlling the induced air flow. Evolved gas extraction is utilised in the compost pile and constant biofilm is maintained by combined cycle anaerobic/aerobic operation.

Patent DE-2241335-B2 (DE)
Title: Separator for purifying steam - having mesh demister with cooling tubes above through which feed water passes
IPC: F22B37/26
Filed: 1972-08-23
Abstract: Purifier for steam consists of a fine mesh demister through which the steam passes with a tube bundle above it. A heat transfer medium flows through this at a lower temp. than the steam. Boiler feed water is a suitable liq. The fine mesh demister and the tubes lie along the longitudinal axis of a cylindrical vessel and extend to its full length. The demister and tubes are enclosed at the sides by walls which form a shaft through which the steam must flow. Used to remove water droplets and suspended salts in the steam. Demisters are a very efficient method for removing droplets but in themselves do not give an adequate redn. in salt content, this being 0.05 to 0.5%. The salt can be removed by sprays but this at once increases the water content. The method described means that the wire mesh is irrigated by condensate from the tubes and this gives both efficient droplet removal and salt removal.

Granted: 2000-05-08
Abstract: PURPOSE:To attain the fast working and a small structure for a shift register by using the rear stage part of two pairs of latch circuits connected in series and forming a single bit as a 2-input NOR gate where a clock is used as one of both inputs. CONSTITUTION:Each of register parts 1a1 - 1a5 consists of a latch circuit L1 where a transfer gate TG, an inverter 2, and a clocked inverter 3 are cascaded in a parallel circuit and a NOR gate 4 where a clock signal phi is inputted via one of two input terminals. In other words, the rear stage part of two pairs of latch circuits connected in series forming a single bit is used as a NOR gate 5. When an input signal DIN is inputted, the data of an H level is shifted to a higher rank bit from a lower rank bit at the rise and fall time points of a clock phi. This shift speed is doubled. Thus the faster working and a small structure are attained for a shift register.

Patent JP-3713788-B2 (JP)
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 1996-02-28
Granted: 2005-11-09
Abstract: An intermediate value derived from old and new data record values or old and new data themselves are sent from a control unit to a disk unit which stores a parity record as information necessary for updating parity. The disk unit reads an old parity record and generates a new value of parity record based on the read old parity and the information received from the control unit. The generated new value is stored in an empty record on the storage medium to which a read/write head is first positioned after the generation of the new value and in which effective data has not been stored. In a disk array system, a time required to update the parity record due to the updating of the data record is reduced and a performance of the storage unit subsystem is improved.

IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 1997-03-14
Granted: 2005-07-06
Abstract: In the event that during write to a storage device such as a DVD, data does not fill up a unit of generation of an error correction code (ECC), an increase in the data transfer amount caused by reading a shortage of data from a storage medium can be prevented. Controlling is carried out such that write data is not immediately written to the storage medium but write operation is deferred until an amount of data of ECC generation unit is complete in a buffer memory. As a result, the ECC can be generated and written to the storage medium by using only the write data without resort to read of the shortage of data from the storage medium.
Patent JP-H0559827-B2 (JP)
Inventor: JON EI ETSUFUENBAAGAA
IPC: D06N7/00
Filed: 1985-04-13
Abstract: Fluoropolymer containing coatings are applied to substrates, preferably textile substrates, to obtain composites which are flexible and not brittle, and which exhibit a low coefficient of friction, good wear resistance and excellent release properties. This invention comprises the technique of initially coating a flexible substrate, such as glass fabric or a metal mesh, with a fluoropolymer, which serves to prevent cracking upon flexing. The precoated substrate is thereafter coated with a blend of a hard polymer and a fluoropolymer which adheres well to the pre-coated intermediate substrate. Significantly, the composites of the invention are flexible, yet possess the wear resistance of the hard polymer component as well as the frictional and release characteristics of the fluoropolymer components.

Combustion gas (27, 29) is fed to the first and second expansion turbines from the two combustion chambers, and nitrogen-rich gas, optionally pressurized, is fed from the second air separator to a point upstream of the first expansion turbine and/or the second expansion turbine. At least 20 per cent of the air processed by the first separator comes from the third compressor in nominal operating conditions, and at least 80 per cent during reduced operating conditions.
