Abstract: An arm of a coating robot is used to prevent external leakage of a high voltage. A tank 25 is installed on a robotic arm 1 and contains water as an actuating liquid. The water is supplied to a paint cartridge 4 by a pump 24 controlled by a controller 40. The water sent from the pump 24 under pressure is supplied to the paint cartridge 4 by a conduit tube 12. A high voltage generator 45 and a bleeder resistor 46 are combined with the tank 25 such that a high voltage generated by the high voltage generator 45 is supplied to the electrostatic paint applicator 2 via the water. For replenishment of water to the tank 25 is attained by relatively connecting a nozzle 32 in communication with a water source 34 to a main pipe 23. While the high voltage generator 45 generates a high voltage, the nozzle 32 and the main pipe 23 are kept disconnected to maintain electrical insulation between the nozzle 32 and the main pipe 23.

Abstract: Vane pump (10) mechanical losses are reduced by removing vane friction losses and replacing them with lower magnitude journal bearing fluid film viscous drag losses. A freely rotating cam ring (70) is supported by a journal bearing (80). A relatively low sliding velocity is imposed between the cam ring and the vanes (26). This permits the use of less expensive and less brittle materials in the pump by allowing the pump to operate at much higher speeds without concern for exceeding vane tip velocity limits.

Granted: 2018-12-04
Abstract: The invention provides improved apparatus and method for producing a pipeline- ready or refinery-ready feedstock from heavy, high asphaltene crude, comprising a pre- heater for pre-heating a process fluid to a design temperature at or near the operating temperature of a reactor; moving the process fluid into the reactor for conversion of the process fluid by controlled application of heat to the process fluid in the reactor so that the process fluid maintains a substantially homogenous temperature to produce a stream of thermally affected asphaltene-rich fractions, and a stream of vapour. The stream of vapour is separated into two further streams: of non-condensable vapour, and of light liquid hydrocarbons. The thermally affected asphaltene-rich fraction is deasphalted using a solvent extraction process into streams of heavy deasphalted oil liquid, and concentrated asphaltene, respectively. The deasphalted oil liquid and the light liquid hydrocarbons produced are blended to form a pipeline or refinery -ready feedstock.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system measures loyalty of one partner to another partner in a relationship, such as the loyalty of a company's customer to the company. The first partner's loyalty is measured by obtaining information from the partner, such as through answers to survey questions, about the partner's perception of the climate of the relationship. A loyalty index function may be applied to scores associated with the answers to produce a single loyalty index representing the first partner's loyalty to the other part-ner. The system may recommend that the second partner change their practices to increase the first partner's loyalty index. For exam-ple, the system may recommend that the second partner improve practices related to "satisfier" dimensions of the relationship, and/or that the second partner improve practices which empirical data have demonstrated to correlate most strongly with increased loyalty.

Abstract: A method of sterilizing an article by sequentially exposing the article to hydrogen peroxide and ozone is disclosed. The article is exposed under vacuum first to an evaporated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and subsequently to an ozone containing gas. The exposure is carried out without reducing the water vapor content of the sterilization atmosphere, the water vapor content being derived from the aqueous solvent of the hydrogen peroxide solution and from the decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The complete sterilization process is carried out while the chamber remains sealed and without removal of any component of the sterilization atmosphere. For this purpose, the chamber is initially evacuated to a first vacuum pressure sufficient to cause evaporation of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide at the temperature of the chamber atmosphere. The chamber is then sealed for the remainder of the sterilization process and during all sterilant injection cycles. Keeping the chamber sealed and maintaining the hydrogen peroxide and its decomposition products in the chamber for the subsequent ozone sterilization step results in a synergistic increase in the sterilization efficiency and allows for the use of much lower sterilant amounts and sterilization cycle times than would be expected from using hydrogen peroxide and ozone in combination.
