IPC: B28C7/04

Abstract: Described are a method and system for minimizing errors in the manufacture or management of aggregate-containing construction materials such as concrete. Aggregates used for making concrete are stored or weighed in dry bulk bin type hoppers, and conveyed from these hoppers into mixer drums which batching or mix the concrete. The hoppers or conveyor belts may contain sensor probes for measuring moisture levels in the aggregate. These sensor probes require calibration from time to time, but time and expense are required for proper calibration, leading to habitually erroneous moisture level data used in the industry on a daily basis. The present inventors believe that the smallest inaccuracies in aggregate moisture level readings can have profound effects on the properties of the resultant concrete product. To confront this problem, the present inventors discovered that the inaccuracy of these aggregate moisture sensors, as used for evaluating the aggregate as a dry bulk material, can be detected and even addressed through the use of slump monitoring systems to evaluate the concrete slurry mix prepared from the aggregates.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulation system for an electrical machine, in particular a rotating electrical machine in the high-voltage or medium-voltage range such as a generator, transformer, a bushing and/or a cable which are exposed to relatively high rated voltages at operating voltages, that is, 10 kV or more, for example. The insulation system comprises an outer corona shielding consisting of an insulant which for its part can be produced by curing from an insulation material. In the insulation material there are filler particles which are embedded in a polymer matrix and are basically n-doped metal oxides which, above the percolation threshold, have a square resistance of 1 to 1000 kOhm in the composite material and at the same time allow the resistance of the outer corona shielding to rise locally by up to 7 decades under an oxygen-containing atmosphere, owing to local electrical discharges at the vacancies, and thus locally generate a resistive field control.
