Abstract: A cryogenic turbo-expander has a rotary shaft (10) which carries a turbine wheel (6)
and carries or is operatively associated with an energy dissipating means (8) and
which extends axially through a sleeve (12). First race means (80, 84) surrounding
the shaft (10) and housing first bearing means (82) for the shaft (10). Second race
means (90, 94) surround the shaft (10) and house second bearing means (92) for
the shaft (10). The first and second bearing means are axially spaced from one
another. Each race (80,84; 90, 94) has an aperture (86, 96) therein extending from
an outer to an inner surface thereof communicating with a lubricating oil passage
(52, 56) extending from an outer surface to an inner surface of the sleeve (12). Both
race means (80, 84; 90, 94) are arranged so that spent lubricating oil can pass
therefrom to a common drain passage (58). The cryogenic turbo-expander
additionally includes a reservoir (40) for lubricating oil communicating with the
aperture (86) in the first race means (80, 84) via an intermittently-operable metering
pump (50) and with the second race means (90, 94) via an intermittently operable
metering pump (54).

Title: Topologie de melangeur symetrique double a entree asymetrique
Inventor: LUFF GWILYM FRANCIS
IPC: H03D7/14
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: Selon l'invention, le circuit mélangeur consiste en une entrée asymétrique sur un mélangeur symétrique double à domaine dynamique élevé, comportant seulement deux jonctions émetteur-base dans l'alimentation. Il permet l'utilisation de fils de liaison vers une terre hors puce comme bloc C.C. et éléments d'alimentation C.C. Le mélangeur symétrique à sortie différentielle et à entrée asymétrique est bien adapté comme étage d'entrée d'un récepteur radio à circuit intégré, un circuit non intégré étant habituellement asymétrique, et les circuits intégrés étant habituellement différentiels. Ce circuit ne requiert ni circuit H.F. différentiel non intégré, ni balun, ce qui réduit la quantité de composants non intégrés et améliore la performance radio. Le circuit mélangeur a des besoins inférieurs en pilotage d'oscillateur local en raison du couplage C.C. du port d'oscillateur local, ce qui a pour conséquence une meilleure performance radio et une surface de contact électrique plus petite en raison du couplage C.C. du port de fréquence intermédiaire.

Abstract: An apparatus and a concomitant method for controlling coolant (air) flow proximate a reaction chamber (102) within a workpiece processing system (100) such that the temperature of a wall of the reaction chamber (102) is maintained at a predefined target temperature. The target temperature is typically a temperature that optimizes a process concurrently being accomplished within the chamber (102), e.g., utilizing one temperature during deposition processes and a different temperature during cleaning processes. The apparatus contains a temperature measuring device (132) to measure the temperature of the chamber wall. The measured temperature is compared to the predefined target temperature. A closed loop system controls the air flow proximate the chamber walls such that the measured temperature becomes substantially equal to the target temperature. Air flow control is provided by an air flow control device (138) located within an inlet conduit (120) that supplies air to a shroud for channeling the air past the reaction chamber (102). The shroud forms a portion of a housing (118) which supports and encloses the reaction chamber (102).
