Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE              An oil containment boom is provided herein.  It includes an elongated member of generally V-shaped cross-section, which is provided by a front wall section and a (preferably higher) rear wall section, joined together along respective lower edges.  Ballast means are provided which are located at the joint between the front and rear walls for normally maintaining the elongated member upright.  Float means (preferably inflatable) are provided, which are disposed between the front wall and the rear wall at a predetermined and preselected level above the joint.  Liquid deflecting means are positioned above the float means and are secured to the front and rear walls in a watertight manner to form a catch basin in the upper portion of the boom, so that liquid is prevented from entering the boom below the level of the liquid deflecting means.  Drainage means are provided within one of the walls, preferably the front wall to permit polluted liquid trapped in the catch basin to escape therefrom to a location outside of one of the walls.

Abstract: Abstract Disclosed is a liquid moving and mixing apparatus selectively submersible in a body of liquid and is operative to effect a turbulent flow of the liquid upwardly and then out-wardly and then downwardly and to mix a selected material into the body of liquid during the upwardly and outwardly flow of the liquid.  The liquid moving and mixing apparatus includes a pro-peller rotated by a submersible motor carried on a portion of a frame structure extending upwardly from a ballast member.  The propeller directs the flow of liquid upwardly toward a down-wardly directed apex of a cone-shaped diffusing member which directs the flow upwardly and outwardly toward a deflector member which deflects the flow outwardly and downwardly.  Liquid flow by the diffusing member cooperates with and/or induces a flow of a selected material outwardly through an annular orifice in the diffusing member adjacent to and spaced from the apex there-of to mix said material into the body of liquid during the flow effected therein.

Abstract: ELASTOMERIC EXPANSION SEAL              ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           An expansion joint strip seal for use in roadways, bridges, buildings, and the like adapted for use with a pair of elongated, parallel, spaced apart edge members defining a gap therebetween and each of the edge members having a generally C-shaped cavity opening toward said gap.  The seal includes mounting beads on each of its longitudinal edges for mounting within the aforesaid edge member cavities and a downwardly folding resilient web member spanning the aforesaid gap and being attached to the mounting beads.  Each mounting bead is of tubular construction and includes an outer wall surface. configuration adapted for engagement in said cavity.  A wall in an unstressed, disassembled condition includes a radius of curvature which is less than the radius of curvature of the cavity so that upon assembly of the mounting head within the cavity the curved outer wall mid-portion is forced to assume the curvature of the cavity resulting in a highly effective mounting of the bead.  To facilitate such deformation and assembly of the mounting bead, each of the edges of the outer wall adjacent to the curved mid-portion are provided with reliefs. In addition, the wall portion of each mounting bead adjacent to the aforesaid gap is of a S-shaped configuration, the latter acting as a spring to resiliently retain the bead in a firmly mounted disposition during the various degrees of expansion and contraction of the gap defined between the edge members.

Granted: 1981-09-08
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure The method is characterized in that the material to be treated is formed within a confined space into a vertical cy-lindrical column, and the  lower portion of the column is rotated by a rotor shaped as a truncated cone, the rotor thus transmitting a dynamic load to the material, which is thus disintegrated in an active horizontal zone without the use of any grinding or disintegrating bodies.     A material disintegrating apparatus according to the dis-closed method includes a  hollow cylinder mounted concentrical-ly about a shaft above the rotor and connected to a housing by vertical partitions dividing the working space of the housing into a  series of adjoining chambers, the rotor being so arranged with respect to these partitions that a horizontal zone is defi-ned therebetween for active disintegration of the material.          Furthermore, the internal space of the rotor is made up of sec-tions having each in the lower portion thereof an aperture for the supply of a carrier fluid into the zone of  active disite-gration of the material. The present invention enables to disintegrate a material with a high efficiency and moderate energy consumption.

Abstract: A B S T R A C T     Liquid oxygen and/or liquid nitrogen are made by remov-ing carbon dioxide and water vapour from air, compressing the purified air in a re-cycle compressor and dividing the purif-ied compressed air into first and second streams.  Part of the first stream is expanded in a first expander and the ref-rigeration produced is used to cool both the first and second streams in a first heat exchanger.  On leaving the first heat exchanger, the second stream is expanded in a second expander and the refrigeration produced is used to liquify at least part of the remainder of the first stream.  The liquid stream is expanded and introduced into a fractionation column from which liquid nitrogen and/or liquid oxygen can be withdrawn. Expanded air from the first and second expanders is returned to the re-cycle compressor although part of the expanded air from the second expander is preferably introduced into the fractionation column. The invention is particularly suited to installations producing in excess of 100 tons of liquid per day and, at this size, preferred designs offer an estim-ated 51-9% power savings over the known prior art.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE             LOW VOLTAGE INHIBIT FOR ADAPTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM   An adaptive braking control circuit and a solenoid valve actuated by the control circuit is protected by a fuse which is blown when a malfunction of the solenoid exists.  However, if the voltage produced by the vehicle electrical supply falls below a predetermined level insufficient to actuate the solenoid valve, the adaptive braking control circuit is disabled without blowing the fuse.  A control circuit is provided which senses a malfunction in the solenoid, and which generates a fuse blowing signal which is used to actuate a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) in order to blow the fuse.  However, under the low voltage condition, this fuse blowing signal is inhibited.
