Granted: 1993-09-08
Abstract: A process for combusting a sulphur-bearing fuel is disclosed. A mixture of the fuel, a sulphur binding material and a sulphur retaining material is introduced into a first combustion zone. The mixture is combusted in the first zone under conditions of fuel-rich stoichiometry and temperature wherein substantially all of the sulphur is captured in a solid form by the sulphur binding material. The resulting captured sulphur compounds are then physically and/or chemically bound within or with the retaining material. Combustion products are thereby produced which include fuel-rich gases and solid flyash and slag containing mixtures of the captured sulphur and the binding and retaining materials. These combustion products are then further combusted in at least one additional fuel-rich combustion zone at temperatures above the fusion temperature of the solids, to melt the solids and to form complex, refractory mixtures and compounds containing the captured sulphur. Sodium present in the fuel may also advantageously be captured and retained by the above process.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DK88/00203 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 6, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 6, 1990 PCT Filed Dec. 5, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/05105 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 15, 1989.A shoe sole (1) manufactured of one or more pieces of a resilient material, such as plastics, natural or synthetic rubber, including a recess extending from below the heel and forward to the forefoot. The recess only allows the longitudinal circumferential rims of the shoe sole to come into contact with the walking surface when the user of the shoe is standing on said walking surface. A shock-absorbing projection (2) is provided in the recess opposite the heel bone of the foot, said projection not coming into contact with the walking surface at a low pressure load. At a high pressure load, such as when the user is walking or running, the shock-absorbing projection (2) comes into contact with the walking surface. In this manner the shocks usually affecting the heel of the shoe are moved to the heel bone as well as absorbed in the best possible manner. When the user is standing still the resilience is achieved by the circumferential rim of the shoe sole absorbing all the pressure in the heel area. The optimum absorption of shocks when the user of the shoe is walking and running is achieved by the pressure in the heel area being absorbed by the projection (2) situated just below the heel bone of the foot.

Abstract: A balanced free-planet drive mechanism (10) includes a reaction ring gear (72), an output ring gear (80), an input sun gear (84) arranged along a central axis (42), and a plurality of floating planet elements (92) individually having a first planet gear (94) engaged with the sun gear (84), a second planet gear (98) engaged with the output ring gear (80), and a third planet gear (96) engaged with the reaction ring gear (72). A required first rolling ring gear (134) resists radially inward movement of the planet elements (92) adjacent the thrid planet gear (96), and an optional second rolling ring gear (124) resists radially inward movement of the planet elements (92) adjacent the first planet gears (94) to maintain the planetary elements (92) essentially parallel to the central axis (42). A plurality of ring segments (114) are connected to the output ring gear (80) and engage a groove (104) in each of the planet elements (92) to maintain the planet elements (92) in a preselected axial position and to transmit relatively low thrust forces. The drive mechanism (10) is easy to assemble in a ground-engaging wheel (12) of a truck (14) or the like, with the output ring gear (80) being connected to rotate with the wheel (12). The incorporation of the drive mechanism (10) in a wheel (12) eliminates the usual planet carrier and planetary bearings associated with a conventional multi-stage planetary final drive, and is lighter in weight and less costly while fitting compactly within the same general space envelope.

Abstract: A seek method for disk drive is described. In the seek method of the present invention, the tracking servo loop remains in a track positioning mode throughout the entire seek process. By effectively varying the reference position of the head with respect to track center under a predetermined profile, the track positioning mode is utilized to produce a pseudo-continous movement across the disk surface. In essence, the servo track following loop attempts to mainta position relative to a local track center as dictated by profile information supplied by a microprocessor. The system of the present invention is an open loop in the sense that no attempt is made to loop information about deviation from the predefined profile back to the microprocessor. Local positioning, however, remains closed loop at all times so that the system is always within the predicted track and arrives directly on target.

Title: Circuit arrangement for a freely oscillating flyback switching power supply
IPC: H02M3/335
Filed: 1990-01-22
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a freely oscillating isolating transformer switched-mode power supply having a control device (IC) for the pulse-width-modulated triggering of an electrical switching element (T1). As control information, this control device (IC) receives, inter alia, on an input terminal (8) a zero passage detector signal (Uzero) and, on a further input terminal (1), a control voltage (UR), which is dependent on the output voltage (UA) of the switched-mode power supply. In order to ensure reliable operation of the circuit arrangement, even in the event of low power consumption and especially in the standby mode with only a few watts no-load power, it is proposed to provide, in addition to a capacitive coupling of the two input terminals (1, 8), a detector device (DE) with whose aid an internal reference voltage (Uref) of the control device (IC) can be reduced in the standby mode. By this means, the increase in the output voltage, which is undesired in the standby mode and is increased even further by the capacitive coupling, can effectively be avoided.

Abstract: Procédés de fabrication de bords fortement dopés des structures mesa dans des dispositifs semi-conducteurs silicium sur saphir (SOS) et silicium sur isolateur (SOI). Lesdits procédés, qui sont basés sur l'auto-alignement, exigent un nombre minimum d'étapes de masquage pour leur réalisation, et servent à réduire les fuites aux bords ainsi qu'à résoudre les problèmes de non-stabilité de la tension au seuil du canal N. On crée des structures mesa qui comprennent des roues de canal N et de canal P sur lesquelles on a déposé une couche d'oxyde thermique. Une couche de dopage de verre de borosilicate, ou une couche d'oxyde non dopée, implantée ultérieurement, est déposée sur les structures mesa. Lors du premier procédé, la couche de dopage est décapée par un processus de décapage à plasma anisotropique de manière à créer des espacements d'oxyde aux bords des structures mesa. On retire la couche de dopage des structures mesa N à l'aide d'un masque canal N et d'un processus de décapage à l'oxyde humide. On chauffe la structure ensuite à une température relativement élevée afin de conduire le dopant aux bords des structures mesa du canal N. Les couches de protection sont retirées par un processus de décapage humide. La fabrication du semi-conducteur est ensuite accomplie de manière courante. Lors du deuxième procédé, on dépose une couche d'azoture sur les structures mesa et la couche d'oxyde thermique. Une couche mince d'oxyde, déposée normalement par un procédé de dépôt de vapeurs chimiques, est déposée sur la couche de nitrure de silicium. La structure ainsi obtenue est alors traîtée de manière à exposer les structures mesa du canal N. A l'aide d'un masque de puits N, on décape la couche d'oxyde de sorte que l'on expose la couche de nitrure de silicium sur le canal N, et on retire la couche de nitrure qui revêtit le canal N au moyen d'acide phosphorique chaud, la couche d'oxyde servant de masque. La couche de dopage est ensuite déposée sur les structures mesa, et chauffée afin d'entraîner le dopant matériel d'implantation dans les bords des structures mesa du canal N. La couche de dopage est alors retirée par corrosion à l'oxyde humide, la couche de nitrure est retirée par rinçage dans de l'acide phosphorique chaud, et la couche d'oxyde thermique est retirée par un processus de décapage à l'oxyde humide. Le dispositif de semi-conducteur est réalisé ensuite de manière courante.
