Abstract: The invention concerns a method for forming a coating film, consisting of nanotubes, the surface of a substrate, which consists in contacting said surface with a gaseous atmosphere containing at least a carbon compound and causing thermal decomposition of said compound; therefor the part of the substrate surface which is to be coated is subjected to direct heating with means different from means possibly used for heating the gaseous atmosphere. Thus the nanotubes are grown perpendicularly to the surface of the substrate, with uniform spacing of their axes. An electron-emitting cathode, wherein the electron-emitting source consists of such a coating film, exhibits better emitting homogeneity as well as reduced operating voltage, compared to a cathode provided with a carbon nanotube coating film formed with a method in conformity with prior art.

Abstract: A combination of a torque-generating apparatus with an alternator/generator. The torque-generating apparatus comprises a first assembly ( 10, 25 ) including a generally cylindrical member of magnetically soft material and having a longitudinal axis, and a second assembly ( 2 ) arranged coaxially within the first assembly and including an electromagnetic winding ( 4 ). The first assembly ( 10, 25 ) and the second assembly ( 2 ) are rotatable relative to each other about the axis. Relative rotation between the first ( 10, 25 ) and second ( 2 ) assemblies induces a magnetic field which generates rotational torque between the first and second assemblies. Rectification means ( 31 ) is provided to convert alternating current electrical output from the alternator/generator ( 22 ) to provide D.C. current to the electromagnetic windings ( 4 ) of the torque generating apparatus to generate an electromagnetic braking effect.

L'embout protecteur comprend une poche de lame (130) conçue pour s'adapter aux parties d'extrémité de la lame de nettoyage, ainsi qu'une partie de milieu (140) comportant un réseau d'arêtes. Ces arêtes sont inclinées vers l'intérieur pour solliciter le toner coincé entre les arrêtes vers l'extérieur, de sorte à l'éloigner de l'embout protecteur, le toner pouvant être dirigé normalement vers un réservoir à déchets. Cette action de 'chasse-neige' des arêtes permet d'éviter le déplacement du toner vers l'extérieur, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum les fuites de toner. L'embout protecteur selon l'invention peut être constitué d'au moins deux couches (110, 180) de matériaux différents. Un embout protecteur peut être disposé à chaque extrémité de la lame de nettoyage.

Abstract: The invention relates to procedures and devices for routing of a data packet from a first device in a first network segment to a second device in a second network segment. The data packet includes a first address in a receiver address field and a first port number in a receiver port field. According to the invention a second port number which in the second device is uniquely associated with the first address is allocated. The data packet is modified by the first address in the receiver address field being replaced with the address of the second device and by the first port number in the receiver port field being replaced with the second port number. The modified data packet then is transmitted from the first device to the second device. In the second device the first port then be identified by means of the second port number that the modified data packet is associated with the first address. The modified data paacket then can be restored by the address of the second device being replaced with the first address.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique et un appareil d'imagerie pouvant utiliser un ensemble de sondes RF pour mesurer le bruit thermique non résonnant lequel est produit à l'intérieur d'un échantillon, tel qu'un corps, et produire une corrélation de bruit thermique non résonnant. La corrélation de bruit détecté est fonction du chevauchement spatial des champs électromagnétiques des sondes et de la répartition spatiale de la conductivité de l'échantillon. La technique de l'invention, laquelle peut être appelée tomographie par le bruit (NT), peut générer une carte tridimensionnelle de la conductivité de l'échantillon. Etant donné que la présente invention utilise une détection de bruit thermique généré à l'intérieur du corps, le procédé de l'invention peut être non invasif et peut être mis en application sans la nécessité d'introduire une puissance extérieure, des agents chimiques ou des radionucléides dans le corps. La méthode d'imagerie de l'invention peut être utilisée conjointement avec d'autres techniques d'imagerie.

Abstract: In a natural gas liquefaction system having a refrigerant storage circuit, a refrigerant circulation circuit in fluid communication with the refrigerant storage circuit, and a natural gas liquefaction circuit in thermal communication with the refrigerant circulation circuit, a method for liquefaction of natural gas in which pressure in the refrigerant circulation circuit is adjusted to below about 175 psig by exchange of refrigerant with the refrigerant storage circuit. A variable speed motor is started whereby operation of a compressor is initiated. The compressor is operated at full discharge capacity. Operation of an expansion valve is initiated whereby suction pressure at the suction pressure port of the compressor is maintained below about 30 psig and discharge pressure at the discharge pressure port of the compressor is maintained below about 350 psig. Refrigerant vapor is introduced from the refrigerant holding tank into the refrigerant circulation circuit until the suction pressure is reduced to below about 15 psig, after which flow of the refrigerant vapor from the refrigerant holding tank is terminated. Natural gas is then introduced into a natural gas liquefier, resulting in liquefaction of the natural gas.
