Abstract: The powder metering feed method for aluminum production involves feeding the powder (A) from a  vertical storage hopper (1) lower discharge opening. The powder passes through a horizontal passage (2) extending into the hopper. Gravity flow and forced flow using gas feeds the powder from the hopper. The  powder flow is cut off after a preset dosage volume by cutting off the gas flow and forming a powder ramp in the passage.

Abstract: A micro beam collimator for compressing beams is described, wherein said collimator has channel means for providing a channel having a cross section and guiding said beams from an entrance end to an exit end of said channel. The object of the invention is to provide a micro beam collimator for compressing beams which allows easy adjustment of the width of the cross section of the beams while making it possible at the same time to adjust the length of the cross section of the beams. For solving this technical problem it is proposed to form the channel means by at least three rod members each of which having at least one bordering surface for bordering said cross section, wherein said rod members are moveable against each other along said bordering surfaces so that the geometry of said cross action is variable. <IMAGE>

IPC: F02M29/06
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: The device is utilized to provide swirling of either intake air flow or exhaust gas flow of an internal combustion engine. When used to swirl intake fluid flow, the device is positioned in the intake passageway for air entering the carburetor or fuel injection subsystem. The swirling of the air provides more complete mixing of the air and fuel entering the combustion chamber of the engine thereby providing more complete combustion of the fuel mixture. When utilized to swirl exhaust fluid flow, the device is positioned in the exhaust passageway for exhaust gases exiting the exhaust manifold. The swirling of the exhaust gases minimizes slowing of exhaust gas flow through the exhaust system to reduce back pressure and thereby provide more complete combustion. The device includes a set of flat planar vanes which are mounted within a housing. The vanes are angled to impart a swirling motion to the intake air or exhaust gas passing through the housing. The vanes are also provided with curved trailing edges to minimize impediment to fluid flow passing through the housing and provided with angled trailing end portions to enhance effectiveness of the vanes in imparting a swirling motion to the fluid flow.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif en inclusion destiné à la restitution des fichiers multimédias. Il est capable de générer une liste d'écoute de fichiers multimédias sur la base d'entrées vocales de l'utilisateur. Il comporte une logique d'indexation servant à produire une pluralité de grammaires de reconnaissance vocale. Selon un aspect de l'invention, pour générer des grammaires de reconnaissance vocale, la logique d'indexation s'appuie sur le contenu de l'en-tête du fichier multimédia. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, pour extraire les fichiers multimédias destinés à un emplacement utilisateur, la logique d'indexation s'appuie sur une catégorisation définissant des voies de fichiers. Lorsque le module de reconnaissance vocale, alors qu'il est en mode sélection, reçoit une entrée vocale d'un utilisateur, il y a intervention d'un sélecteur de fichiers multimédia qui prend l'entrée vocale reçue en mode sélection et la compare à la pluralité de grammaires de reconnaissance vocale, sélectionnant par là-même le fichier multimédia.

Abstract: Gallium nitride is grown by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on (111) and (001) silicon substrates using hafnium nitride buffer layers. Wurtzite GaN epitaxial layers are obtained on both the (111) and (001) HfN/Si surfaces, with crack-free thickness up to 1.2 µm. However, growth on the (001) surface results in nearly stress-free films, suggesting that much thicker crack-free layers could be obtained.
