Abstract: A system for simulating an air mode and a ground mode of an airplane is provided. The air mode is a state of the airplane when the airplane is in the air, and the ground mode is a state of the airplane when the airplane is on the ground. The system includes means for sensing parameters indicative of whether the airplane is sensed in the air or sensed on the ground. Means for determining whether the airplane is sensed in the air or sensed on the ground is provided. The determining means is responsive to the sensing means, and the determining means outputs a signal that is indicative of a sensed air mode or a sensed ground mode. Means for interfacing with an operator is also provided. A simulated air mode and a simulated ground mode are selectable via the interface means. Means for overriding the signal output from the determining means is provided, and the overriding means outputs a signal that is indicative of the simulated air mode or the simulated ground mode in response to a selection from the interface means. The overriding means outputs a signal that is indicative of the sensed air mode or the sensed ground mode when the simulated air mode or the simulated ground mode is not selected.

Abstract: A method for water-cooling slabs by dipping and a water vessel used for said method. Slabs cooled by this method yield steel sheets with a minimum of scabs and uneven gloss. Slabs are dipped in water such a way that their larger faces are the upside and underside thereof. Dipping is accompanied by water injection (at a flow rate of 10-150 L/m2~min) toward the underside of slabs. The direction of water injection is perpendicular or oblique to the underside of the slabs. The position of water injection is 30-500 mm away from the underside of the slabs. In the case of water-cooling Cr-containing slabs (Cr 5-30 wt%), the slabs are conditioned such that their surface temperature is 500°C or above before dipping and the dipping lasts until the surface temperature decreases to 400°C or below.

Abstract: An oilwell leak containment apparatus for a completed oilwell includes a body segmented into two or more segments.      Each of segment has a non-mating edge and a mating edge. The non-mating edge has an upstanding containment wall. When the segments are coupled together to form the body the upstanding containment wall extends around a peripheral edge of the body and defines a liquid containment cavity. The mating edge mates with an other segments. Each mating edge has an arcuate portion. When the segments are coupled together to complete the body the arcuate portions form a circular collar. The segments are connected together with quick release couplers.      It is preferred that the quick release couplers be positioned within the liquid retaining cavity for ease of access.

Abstract: Powder metallurgically produced ferritic stainless steel articles are strengthened by alloying the ferritic material with a small amount of nickel (up to 3.0 % by weight). Alloying is carried out by either admixin g nickel powder to the ferritic alloy powder or by pre-alloying the stainless steel powder with nickel. Conventional sintering procedures, either in a hydrogen atmosphere or in a partial vacuum, are applicable. High strength stainless steel parts made in this manner are suitable for demanding applications, including automotive exhaust flanges and HEGO bosses.

Abstract: A drawer pull-out guide that consists of a guide rail 11 that can be fastened to a piece of furniture 12, a slide rail 14 guided by means of rolling elements and attachable to the drawer 16, and a profiled rail 16 having tracks for the rolling elements at one end area or at both end areas is to be made in a simple to construct manner in such a way that the lateral stability of the drawer pull-out guide is clearly improved without increasing the structural parts. In the drawer pull-out guide 10 of the invention, the area of the profiled rail 13 adjoining the tracks is staggered, at least by area, vis-à-vis the vertical in such a way that this area is situated in direction or almost in direction of the resulting lateral forces acting on the drawer pull-out guide 10. For this reason, the area of the profiled rail adjoining the tracks is diagonal vis-à-vis the vertical, however, it is essentially straight or also curved, nevertheless, this area can also be bent repeatedly in the same or opposite directions or have a zigzag shape. The drawer pull-out guide of the invention is particularly suitable for house furniture.

Abstract: An elbow shaped draft tube for a reaction hydraulic turbine has a splitter vane mounted within the draft tube that partially extends between 50% and 80% across the width of the draft tube to redirect flow about said elbow in the draft tube. The partial splitter vane has opposing side edge surfaces spaced from the side walls of the draft tube to allow the peripheral flow to swirl around the splitter as it moves through the draft tube. The splitter vane does not result in any efficiency decrease for operating conditions below peak efficiency flow rates and still provides the full benefits at flow rates above the peak efficiency flow rate for a given head. The splitter vane results in much lower static and dynamic loads due to its smaller surface area and minimal blockage of the swirl component of the flow. A plurality of support posts are embedded at one end in the draft tube and connected at the other end to position the splitter vane in non-contacting relation with the side walls of the draft tube.

Title: Fill and pressurization apparatus

Granted: 2001-12-11
Abstract: Fill and pressurization apparatus having a sectional fluid conductor (27) having a first section (27a) fixed relative to the surroundings, and a second section (27b) which moves toward the first section (27) to form an enclosure (Fig. 2) through which a high volume flow rate low pressure flow may be passed to fill an adjacent open end of a tube (17) with liquid. Said fluid is passed through an inlet conduit (38), which may be a rigid conduit, to the fixed first section (27a). A seal head (77) insertable into the end of the filled tube (17) has an elastomeric seal member (87) and a rod (76) and a sleeve (78) relatively axially displaceable to compress the seal member (82) and deform it into sealing engagement with a surface of the tube (17). A stop member (84) on one of the rod (76) and sleeve (78) and a stop surface (81a) on the other of the rod (76) and sleeve (78) limit the axial displacement and hence also the compressive force applied to the seal member (82). The relative displacement is achieved by retracting one of the rod (76) and the sleeve (78) and blocking the retraction of the other. The blocking is provided by two telescoping cylinders (89 and 96), one (96) of which has abutments (99) thereon running in channels (101) provided in the other cylinder (89). To effect blocking one cylinder (96) is rotated relative to the other so that the abutments (99) are out of register with the channels (101) and engage stop surfaces (103) in an extended condition of the cylinders (89 and 96) relative to one another.

Title: Demetallation of hydrocarbon streams
Inventor: MESHER SHAUN TERRANCE EINAR
IPC: C10G25/00
Filed: 2000-05-05
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: A method for the removal of metals from hydrocarbon stream by passing the oil over a bed of high surface area ceramic material at elevated temperatures. Contact with the ceramic material causes the metals to be absorbed on to the surface of the material and undergo a chemical reaction. The oil after contact with the material contains little or no metals. The metals can be removed from the material by reversing the chemical reaction with the addition of hot steam. The steam has the added benefit of enhancing the material and making it more reactive towards the next metal laden petroleum feedstock. The steam/metal stream can be collected and concentrated to efficiently dispose of the metals taken from the oil.
