Abstract: A cyclone separator, for the separation of particulate materials from a particle-bearing gas or vapour, in which the particle-bearing gas or vapour is injected into a separating chamber (10), and the particles centrifuged to a separating chamber wall (12) of the separating chamber (10) for collection, the separating chamber wall (12) being wetted by a liquid to assist in collection of the centrifuged particles from the separating chamber wall (12), the separating chamber wall (12) being at least partly porous, the separating chamber wall (12) being wetted by the passage of the liquid through the porous part, to provide a more uniform wetting of the separating chamber wall (12), and hence more efficient particulate collection than previously achieved by prior art methods. The cyclone separator of the invention may also be used for the separation and collection of gas or vapour-borne vapours, in place of particulates. An instrument for the separation, collection and detection and/or analysis of gas or vapour-home materials using a cyclone separator in accordance with the invention is described.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil pour la mise au point automatique d'un instrument optique, particulièrement un microscope (10). Le schéma de mise au point automatique comprend un filtre à gradient numérique destiné à générer une valeur focale à partir de chaque image prise. Les images peuvent être prises dans différentes positions et les valeurs focales peuvent être analysées pour déterminer une valeur maximale. La position correspondant à cette valeur maximale est ensuite prise comme position de mise au point. De préférence, l'étendue spatiale du filtre peut être réglée de manière que le filtre numérique sélectionne des éléments de l'image selon leur taille sur ladite image. Ainsi, le procédé de filtrage peut être commandé en fonction des éléments de l'image, dont la taille peut être spécifiée indirectement par l'utilisateur au moyen de l'étendue spatiale du filtre. Ceci permet d'exclure des éléments d'image de petite ou de grande taille de la mise au point automatique, que le filtre devrait préférablement ignorer. Le schéma de mise au point automatique est particulièrement adapté à la mise au point pour des prélèvements biologiques.

Abstract: An ice scruffing device for scruffing a covering of ice on a ground surface to improve the ability of the ice to retain de-icing chemicals on its surface. Paddles are mounted radially about a drum that is mounted substantially parallel to the ground surface and transverse to the direction of travel of a prime mover of the ice scruffing device. Each paddle bears a plurality of impactors. The impactors are made of flexible wire cable, with a strike element arranged at the end of the cable.

Abstract: A system (10) for ensuring lubricating oil quality in a locomotive engine without the need for specialized diagnostic and fluid handling systems thereon. A test portion (28) of lubricating oil is analyzed at an oil analysis center (26) to determine an oil quality parameter (32). The oil quality parameter is input to a calculator (34) which determines a quantity of oil (36) to be replaced by fresh oil during a current maintenance outage in order to ensure an acceptable engine oil quality throughout a forthcoming operating period. Resultantly, a complete lubricating oil change-out may be delayed or avoided. Prior to the arrival of the locomotive at the service center (18), the oil replacement decision and quantity is communicated thereto via a communications link such as the Internet (40). The used oil may be removed from the engine using a portable transfer device and mixed with fuel in a fuel storage tank for subsequent refueling of other locomotives.

Abstract: The effective ionic conductivity in a composite structure is believed to decrease rapidly with volume fraction. A system, such as a bipolar device or energy storage device, has structures or components in which the diffusion length or path that electrodes or ions must traverse is minimized and the interfacial area exposed to the ions or electrons is maximized. The device includes components that can be reticulated or has a reticulated interface so that an interface area can be increased. The increased interfacial perimeter increases the available sites for reaction of ionic species. Many different reticulation patterns can be used. The aspect ratio of the reticulated features can be varied. Such bipolar devices can be fabricated by a variety of methods or procedures. A bipolar device having structures of reticulated interface can be tailored for the purposes of controlling and optimizing charge and discharge kinetics. A bipolar device having graded porosity structures can have improved transport properties because the diffusion controlling reaction kinetics can be modified. Graded porosity electrodes can be linearly or nonlinearly graded. A bipolar device having perforated structures also provides improved transport properties by removing tortuosity and reducing diffusion distance.
