Title: Method and apparatus for characterising a three phase transformer using a single phase power supply
Inventor: FAWCETT TIMOTHY JAMES
IPC: G01R31/72
Filed: 2005-03-03
Granted: 2012-01-31
Abstract: A method and apparatus for characterising a three phase transformer (3) using a single phase power supply (1). Pairs of input terminals (H0-H3) of the transformer are sequentially energised for each energisation and the voltage between pairs of output terminals (x0-x3) of the transformer are measured.  Measured voltages are processed in order to characterise the winding configuration of the transformer. Either simultaneously or subsequently the presence of neutrals on the primary and/or secondary side of the transformer are identified to enable the winding configuration to be further characterised. Subsequently any phase displacement of the transformer is determined. The apparatus comprises means (2) for selectively applying a single phase power supply (1) to pairs of terminals (H0-H3) on the transformer (3) and for measuring voltages between pairs of terminals (x0-x3) of the transformer and for measuring phase difference between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer all under automatic control of a control means (13) which includes a processing means to process measured voltages and phase differences in order to characterise the transformer.

Title: Injection molding method and injection molding apparatus
Inventor: UCHIDA HIROSHI
IPC: B29C45/17
Filed: 2005-06-06
Granted: 2011-04-26
Abstract: This invention relates to an injection molding method using an injection mold.  The method comprises (1) a molten resin injection step for injecting the molten resin from a gate into a cavity, (2) a pressure-keeping step for continuously applying pressure from the gate after the molten resin injection step, and (3) a fluid injection step for injecting a fluid toward the back surface of the molded product. The pressure-keeping step and the fluid injection step are simultaneously executed. Simultaneously executing these two steps can lower the pressure that is to be continuously applied from the gate.  The present injection molding method can reduce the pressure of the fluid to be injected toward the back surface of the molded product in order to cause the back surface of the molded product to separate from the cavity surface.

Abstract: A mixer apparatus for use with a vessel centered about a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The mixer has a blade body formed along a central head axis. The blade body has a first end, a second end spaced from the first end along the head axis, and a passageway extending between the first and second ends. The passageway tapers from the first end to the second end. The outer surface of the blade body defines an inside blade diameter "ID" at the second end and an outside blade diameter "OD" at the first end. The blade body is positioned within and coaxial to the vessel. A scotch yoke, operatively connected to the blade body by a shaft, effects reciprocating longitudinal movement of the blade body through a stroke "S", with a duration "T" for each stroke. Enhanced mixing efficiencies are achieved when the mixer is operated within a set of operational parameters defined by the equation: 80 <= 0.36 × OD2/ID2 × S/T <= 550, when OD, ID and S are expressed in inches, and T is expressed in minutes.

Title: Carbon-containing refractory, production method thereof, and pitch-containing refractory raw material
Inventor: HOKII TOSHIYUKI
IPC: C04B35/66
Filed: 2006-07-21
Granted: 2012-04-17
Abstract: A configuration in which particles of pitch 2 having a softening point in the range of 70 to 200°C and a diameter equal to or smaller than 30 µm are held on the surfaces of particles of a refractory raw material 3 having a diameter equal to or smaller than 50 µm is employed. This pitch-containing refractory raw material 1 can be used with the pitch being in a fine-particle form without any aggregation even after the long-term storage. Using it as a part of a raw material formulation allows the fine particles of pitch to be uniformly dispersed during the mixing or kneading process. The resulting carbon-containing refractory has an excellent corrosion resistance. It also provides suppressed increase in the Young's modulus while maintaining the level of strength, thereby being excellent in thermal spalling resistance even with the carbon content ratio being low.
