Abstract: An air treatment system having a relatively large capacity yet a relatively small footprint and low sound level. The air treatment system includes a housing defining adjacent vertically extending inlet and outlet chambers. A blower is mounted within the inlet chamber to move air through the system. A generally planar filter is contained within the outlet chamber and is spaced apart from the rear wall of the housing to define a plenum. The rear wall of the housing is curved so that the plenum is tapered to provide uniform pressure over the face of the filter. The system is adapted to rest upon the floor or mount either vertically or horizontal to a wall.  Additionally, the system includes a control mechanism that allows the system to run at full speed for a predetermined period of time and then automatically return to its previous speed level.

Abstract: The invention provides composite membrane materials comprising a polymer of the state of art uniformly filled with a zirconium phosphate, preferably .alpha.-zirconium phosphate or zirconium phosphate sulfoarylenphosphonate particels. The composite membrane materials are preferably prepared starting from a solution of a polymer of the state of art and from a colloidal dispersion of .alpha.-zirconium phosphate or a zirconium phosphate sulfoarylenphosphonate. The colloidal particles are transferred into the solution of the polymer preferably by mixing the dispersion with the solution or by means of phase transfer. The membrane material is preferably obtained by removing the solvent by evaporation or by a suitable non-solvent. Besides the composite membrane materials and the preparation methods, the use of the above membrane materials is claimed as ionomeric membranes with high overall performance in high tempreature, especially hydrogen, and in indirect methanol fuel cells and with decreased methanol crossover in direct methanol fuel cells.

Abstract: Disclosed is a packed, highly compressed cuboid-shaped filter tow bale, the top side and bottom side of which are free from nuisome curvatures or constrictions. Said bale is characterized by the fact that a) the bale has a packing density of at least 300 kg/m3, b) the bale is entirely wrapped in a mechanically self-supporting, elastic packing material which is provided with one or several convectively airtight connections, and c) the top side and bottom side of the bale are so flat that a flat plate which fully covers the bale can be pressed onto the top side of the bale via a centrally effective normal force of 100 N and at least 90 percent of the surface of the top side of the bale, which lies within the largest rectangle that can be inserted by vertically projecting the bale onto the pressed plate, has a maximum distance of about 40 mm from the flat plate when the unopened bale is placed on a horizontal plane. A particularly suitable method for producing said bale comprises the following steps: a) filter tow is supplied in a compressed form;  b) the compressed filter tow is enveloped in a wrapping; c) the wrapping is closed in an airtight manner; and d) the wrapped bale is relieved of the load.  The wrapping of such a bale is largely prevented from bursting as a result of the prevailing internal pressure. The inventive bale has an ideal cuboid shape such that curvatures negatively affecting the bale during transport or constrictions hampering the behavior of the filter tow are largely prevented from occurring.

Abstract: In a system for subdividing hot rolled product lengths being delivered from a rolling mill along a first path, a first switch acts in concert with a first shear to subdivide each product length traveling along the first path into successive segments including a front end segment, a plurality of intermediate segments, and a tail end segment, and to alternately deliver the successive segments to one or the other of two adjacent downstream second paths leading to a cooling bed. Second switches on the second paths are selectively adjustable between first positions allowing the intermediate segments to continue along the second paths, and second positions diverting the front and tail end segments from the second paths to thud paths. A second shear chops the front and tail end segments moving along the third paths into scrap pieces.

Abstract: A power management system for a multiple compute component system. The management system enables operational management of individual compute components in two low power states of operation, suspend and hibernate. In addition, the management system enables granular management of power consuming accessories within an individual compute component. When a compute component is in the low power state of suspend or hibernate, it may be hot-swapped to a different locale. In addition, when a compute component is restored from a low power state of hibernate, it may access an alternate image in the system. Accordingly, the power management system allows for five state of operation of an individual component in a multiple compute component system.
