Abstract: Process for casting a component from a light metal having; (i) a casting core consisting of a matrix infiltrated with infiltration channels comprises a docking phase in which a liquid melt enters the intermediate space between the core and a shell surrounding the core; (ii) an infiltration phase in which the liquid melt penetrates the infiltration channels in the edge zone of the core under reduced pressure; (iii) a cooling phase in which the melt is converted into a thixotropic state; and (iv) a pressure phase in which the thixotropic melt is placed under pressure to prevent solidification porosity in the cast workpiece. An Independent claim is also included for a casting core. Preferred Features: The material regions of the matrix limiting the infiltration channels are made from a light but dense material to prevent penetration by the melt. The size of the space of the infiltration channels in the core is at least three to five times greater than the diameter of the crystal body of the light metal used for the melt. The matrix consists of porous mineral spheres joined together at contact surfaces and having a diameter between 1 and 8 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-free-flow valve to prevent fluid free-flow through a tube assembly having a lumen. The valve device comprises a body disposed inside the lumen having a cylindrical portion formed adjacent a tapered portion, the cylindrical portion includes an opening and the tapered portion has a pair of beveled surfaces with ends that form a slit therebetween. The slit communicates with the opening through a passage formed through the body of the valve device. When the tube assembly is in a relaxed condition, the ends of the beveled surfaces confront one another and place the slit in the closed position which prevents fluid flow through the passage of the body and through the valve device. When a tensile force is applied along the tube assembly in an area adjacent the valve device, the inner diameter of the lumen decreases which elongates the body and urges the ends of the beveled surfaces away from one another and places the slit in the open position which permits fluid flow through the passage and out the body of the valve device.

Abstract: The electric current for the generation of the cathodic and anodic plasma jets (15) is divided into three parts, one passing through the object (2) being treated and the two others supplying the jets. The cathodic jet is at an acute angle( 25 to 60 degrees) to the treated surface and the anodic jet is at an angle about 90 degrees to the surface. A series of alternate cathode and anode jets are used in a direction transversal to the direction of displacement of the abject being treated. The electrical supply feeding the jets forms a loop circuit which is closed by a part of the object being treated. The circuit includes means for varying the electric current passing through the treated object. The plasma jet generator includes an electrode, a stabilizer channel, a pipe forming the jet, and supply system for introduction and control of gas flow for protection of the electrode and gas flow to the jet. Up stream of the plasma treatment zone an air current stabilizer, which includes a cooling system is used. Aero-dynamic bearings are fitted in front and behind the plasma generators.

Abstract: A hybrid waveguide structure is disclosed comprising a combination of buried waveguide sections and ridge waveguide sections on the same substrate, sharing a common core layer (2). The buried waveguide sections provide the low index contrast desirable for couplers and other device components, whereas the ridge waveguide sections provide the high index contrast needed for efficient low-loss tightly curved waveguides. The devices are fabricate starting from a low index contrast buried waveguide. Cladding material is then selectively removed by etching down from an upper surface (8) either side of the waveguide core (2 ) to a lower surface (14). This forms an enhanced index contrast ridge section of the waveguide. The other sections of the waveguide core remain buried and thus retain lower index contrast. Using this approach, a variety of optical devices, such as add/drop or add-after-drop multiplexers for WDM applications based on microrings or Mach-Zehnder interferometers, can be made with large feature sizes of several microns using silica-on-glass or silica-on-silicon technology, for example, and without having to use nanofabricated semiconductor structures.

Abstract: A stationary modular oxygen supply system has a number of oxygen concentration units feeding a single point. The oxygen is generated within the modules by a pressure change adsorption process. The oxygen generated charges a tank reservoir (150). The modular generators are switched on and off as required. An Independent claim is included for an associated demand-dependent control system which monitors the oxygen tank pressure and terminates oxygen generation when pressure reaches a given upper threshold. A maximum acceptable flow rate to the tank is determined, at which point the modular generators shut down. A further pre-determined gas pressure value is set for the gas tank below which a gas generator module is activated. The oxygen generator assembly has a first compressor with an incoming air filter, a PSA oxygen generator with pressure switch and a second compressor. The first compressor compresses air to between 1.5 and 3 bar. The PSA generator delivers a gas mixture via a back-flow prevention valve and throttle to a magnetic valve to a pressure switch-operated compressor. The second compressor brings the gas to between 4 and 7 bar. The gas mixture passes to the gas tank via a magnetic valve, a back-flow prevention valve and shut-off valve. Oxygen is supplied from the tank (150) via a pressure-reduction valve (160), bacteria filter (170), a flow-sensor (180) and a concentration sensor (190).

The endothermic catalytic steam reforming zone and the heat exchange zone are respectively disposed tube side and shell side within a shell-and-tube reforming exchanger. The reforming exchanger comprises a plurality of tubes (118) packed with low pressure drop catalyst-bearing monolithic structures wherein an inside diameter of the tubes is less than 4 times a maximum edge dimension of the catalyst structures.
