Title: Treating products moulded from heterogenous structures
Inventor: DAVEY TERENCE JAMES
IPC: B63B9/00
Filed: 1999-11-29
Abstract: To treat heterogenous structures such as FRP moulded products, such as boat hulls, where the structure of the FRP laminate has been damaged, eg by water penetration, a layer of impermeable sheet material is first secured to a surface of the product to be treated to enclose a space between the surface and the layer. The contents of the space are continuously evacuated, for example by a vacuum pump, and then heating is applied within the space. A spacer is provided within the space to hold the sheet material away from the surface when vacuum is applied. After the treatment is competed, the heater is switched off and the vacuum released, the sheet is removed by peeling it away from the surface. The sheet can then be reused. The combination of the heat and vacuum it is claimed is sufficient to stabilise the deteriorating structure and allow restoration to its original condition.

The dispense temperature may be in the range of -1 {C to -12 {C. The beverage in the glass may or may not be subjected to external excitement energy, for example ultrasound, to encourage formation of nucleation sites in the beverage. Either way dissolved gas bubbles out of the beverage causing occurrence of nucleation sites at which ice (188A, 188B) from the water content forms. At least in part the ice has a slushy character. A head (174) also forms on the dispensed draught beverage and below the head the ice (188A, 188B) locates and develops downwards into the beverage.
Patent GB-997799-A (GB)
Abstract: 997,799. Controlling liquid fuel supply to burners. INDUSTRIEGERATE FUR ENERGIETECHNIK G.m.b.H. April 3, 1962 [Aug. 14, 1961], No. 12665/62. Heading F4T. [Also in Division G3] Means for controlling the oil supply to an oilfired central heating boiler comprises a bimetallic actuator 17 heated by a resistance 16 in series with a boiler immersion thermostatic switch 15 to operate a control button 3 to cut off the oil supply, and a bimetallic actuator 21 acting on a pin 4 for controlling the oil flow rate and heated by a resistance 20 in series with a room thermostatic switch 19. The room thermostatic switch energizes the resistance 20 when the room temperature is below a given value and the actuator 21 allows the pin 4 to rise to increase the fuel flow rate. A projection 27 on the actuator 21 has abutments 25 and 26 which operate the slide 24 of a variable resistance 23 in series with a burner air supply blower motor 5 to vary the speed of the latter in accordance with the oil flow rate. A further boiler thermostatic switch may be provided in series with the resistance 20. When the boiler temperature rises above a predetermined value the switch 15 cuts off power supply to the resistance 16 and the bimetallic actuator 17 lifts the button 3 to cut off the oil supply. This action also occurs if the power supply fails. Ignition of the burner is caused by an electric igniter 28 connected in parallel with a resistance 31 which, when energized, causes a bimetallic element 32 to depress the button 3 and open the fuel supply. When the power supply is switched on, the igniter 28 and resistance 31 are energized via a bimetallic switch 29 which opens under influence of heat from the burner flame. In another embodiment, Fig. 1 (not shown), the resistance 31 and bimetallic element 32 are omitted and a projection on the actuator 21 operates a quick break switch in series with the blower motor, the switch being such that it switches the blower on at a higher oil flow rate than that at which it switches it off. If a two stage blower is used, a resistance is arranged in series with the motor and in parallel with the quick break switch so that operation of the latter merely changes the blower speed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the cycle life characteristic by providing a prescribed relation between the ratio Y of the absolute sulfuric acid theoretical capacity/ negative electrode active material theoretical capacity per battery cell and the ratio X of the negative electrode active material weight/positive electrode active material weight after perfect charge. SOLUTION: In a lead acid battery having a negative electrode active material quantity/positive electrode active material quantity ratio of 0.75, the utilization ratio of negative electrode active material is increased when the ratio Y of the electrolyte theoretical capacity/negative electrode active material theoretical capacity is 0.4 or more. In a lead-acid battery having a negative electrode active material quantity/positive electrode active material quantity of 0.55, the utilization ratio of negative electrode active material is increased when the ratio Y of the electrolyte theoretical capacity/negative electrode active material theoretical capacity is 0.64 or more. Thus, Y per battery cell is set so as to be Y=-0.10X+1.27 or less and Y=-0.65X+0.78 or more to the ratio X after perfect charge.  Thus, the roughing of particles accompanying charge and discharge is eliminated, and the reduction in cycle life characteristic can be prevented.
