Abstract: Form a single unit by use of a motor that is internally
mounted within an outer-facing or sheath resin, a mechanism
for conversion of the motor's rotation into linear straight
movement of an actuator rod, a bearing for support of a
rotor of the motor, and a bearing guide. The unit is then
attached to one terminate end of a valve body, causing the
rod to be coupled to a valve rod . The bearing guide (good
thermal conduction member) comes into contact with stator
parts of the motor, thus coming into contact with the of
the valve body's inner periphery directly or indirectly
via the good thermal conduction member. The valve element
and the valve rod are separately machined components and
are tightly attached by welding or the like after having
performed position adjustment by gap fit techniques. 
     With such an arrangement, it is possible to readily
define relative initial positions of the actuator rod and
valve body of a motor-driven flow rate control valve while
additionally increasing the motor's heat releasability to
thereby enable improvements in performance of the flow rate
control valve and further making it possible to make an
apparatus more compact and also simplify the assembly
property thereof.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on refroidit la lampe xénon à arc de projecteur de cinéma en recouvrant l'extrémité anodique de la lampe d'une enveloppe faisant partie d'un support de ladite extrémité. L'air de refroidissement coule dans l'enveloppe le long du bras du support et pénètre dans l'enveloppe par une fente sur sa paroi latérale. L'enveloppe présente un volume d'air annulaire autour de l'extrémité anodique de la lampe, ainsi qu'une sortie d'air annulaire, l'air de refroidissement s'en échappant tel un 'manteau' d'écoulement d'air laminaire qui tend à coller à la surface de l'ampoule, assurant ainsi un refroidissement précis.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système intégrant automatiquement un module dans un système informatique pour remplacer un module défaillant. Le système commence par détecter l'insertion d'un module dans le système informatique. A la suite de cette insertion, le système lit les informations provenant du module afin d'identifier le type de module qui a été inséré dans le système informatique. Si le nouveau module ne parvient pas à exécuter les fonctions du module précédent, le système signale une condition d'erreur. Par ailleurs, le système lit les informations provenant du module afin de déterminer s'il a présenté une défailllance depuis sa première expédition ou sa dernière réparation. A l'origine, ces informations ont été écrites par ce système ou par un autre système suite à la détection d'une défaillance. Si le module a connu une défaillance depuis sa première expédition ou sa dernière réparation, le système signale une condition d'erreur. Finalement, si aucune condition d'erreur n'est signalée, le sytème intègre le module dans le système informatique. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le procédé d'intégration consiste à soumettre le module à des tests fonctionnels, et à charger les informations de configuration dans le module. Ainsi, la présente invention permet d'accélérer le processus d'intégration en rendant superflue l'entrée manuelle de commandes d'intégration dans le système informatique. Cela réduit la probabilité d'erreur, étant donné que les commandes d'intégration ne sont plus mémorisées par un technicien qui risque d'entrer accidentellement les mauvaises commandes. La présente invention favorise également une véritable pratique de service du fait qu'elle encourage un technicien à renvoyer un module vers un bureau de service au lieu de simplement enclencher le commutateur d'injection d'un module pour remettre l'unité en état.

Abstract: The multi-layer film structure having an inner sealing layer (<HIL><PDAT>36</BOLD><PDAT>) which comprises metallocene resin, a core (<HIL><PDAT>38</BOLD><PDAT>) which includes polypropylene copolymer and an outer layer (<HIL><PDAT>37</BOLD><PDAT>) and wherein the multi-layer film structure has a thickness (X) within a range between about 50 and 70 microns (2.0-2.75 mil). By utilizing this thin film with specific properties the sealers may be operated at lower temperatures thereby resulting in an energy saving and they produce seals having improved seal strength of 30% to 50% as compared with known prior mono-layer polyethylene film. The seal initiation temperature is reduced by 10° C. to 15° C. and the film exhibits an improved machine direction tensile strength of 25% to 40% and an improvement of 30% to 50% in puncture resistance as compared with a 76 microns (3 mil) mono-layer polyethylene film. This results in a reduction in the sealing cycle time and an increase in the throughput of the machine. This results in a liquid pouch having a substantial improvement in drop test performance, puncture resistance and seal strength. The machine accomplishes better seals with less energy, requires less downtime for roll changes and maintenance and increase throughput.</PTEXT>

Title: Uninterruptible power supply utilizing thermal energy source
Inventor: PINKERTON JOSEPH F
IPC: H02J9/06
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: Uninterruptible power supplies are provided that utilize a material to provide a source of thermal energy that may be converted to electrical energy to produce backup electrical power for a load. In some embodiments, a hot tank assembly is utilized to hold a liquid heated to a predetermined temperature. A closed-loop pipe containing, water for example, is immersed in the heated liquid. Upon the loss of primary power, the water flows into the heat exchanger where it is raised above its boiling temperature. The steam is then passed to a heat engine (e.g., a turbine-based system) that converts the heated steam to mechanical energy by causing the heat engine rotor to rotate. A generator is physically coupled to the heat engine so that the rotation of the heat engine rotor drives the generator. The generator produces AC power which is converted to DC and again back to AC before being provided to the load. In other embodiments, a solid mass, such as a block of iron, is heated to a predetermined temperature. The heat from the solid material is then converted to electrical energy for the load.
