Abstract: A method of bending at least one glass sheet including: allowing the glass to sag under gravity; then placing the central region of the one or more sheets in contact with a male former by advancing a female former supporting the sheet toward the male former, the male former being located above the female former with vertical movement of one with respect to the other being possible in a bending cell; then pressing the glass in its peripheral region between the male former and the female former; then holding the glass against the male former by partial vacuum, the pressing being continued; then discontinuing the pressing by separating the male former from the female former; and then cooling the glass outside the bending cell. The method makes it possible to produce bends with short radii of curvature in two perpendicular directions without leaving marks on the glass.

Abstract: A concentration sensor which detects the concentration of a liquid reducing agent based on a heat transfer characteristic between two spaced positions is attached to a storage tank which stores the liquid supplied to a NO x  reduction catalytic converter. Then, the concentration is read out from the concentration sensor, and when the concentration is equal to or less than 0%, it is discriminated that the liquid in the storage tank is the water. Namely, it is utilized that, since the concentration of the water is 0% if converted into the concentration of the liquid reducing agent, the concentration of the water is equal to or less than 0% even if lowered due to the convection. Further, if the concentration is more than the predetermined concentration, it can be considered that an output from the concentration sensor becomes abnormal because the storage tank is empty. Therefore, it is discriminated that the storage tank is empty. On the other hand, when the concentration is more than 0% and also equal to or less than the predetermined concentration, although there is a possibility that the concentration includes an error, it is discriminated that the liquid in the storage tank is the liquid reducing agent.

The nozzle tip (240) includes a first melt channel (252) in fluid communication with the nozzle melt channel (216) and a plurality of release melt channels (254) between the first melt (216) channel and an annular melt channel (256).

The annular melt channel (256) includes a decompression chamber (258) in fluid communication with respective ones of the release melt channels (254) and a compression chamber (260) between the decompression chamber (258) and a mold. A pressure difference formed between the respective release melt channels (254) and the decompression chamber (258) and between the decompression chamber (258) and the compression chamber (260) blends the molten material to even and balance flow into the mold cavity (226). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A Spacecraft Regulation Unit SRU or Power Conditioning Unit PCU with decentralized capacitance comprising several power conversion modules each coupled, via interconnection means, to a high-level power bus for supplying power to equipment of a satellite. Each power conversion module has a bus capacitor (C mod ) coupled via the interconnection means to the high-level power bus. The known common power bus capacitors bank is thereby replaced by the bus capacitors distributed within the different power conversion modules. This saves a specific power bus capacitors bank and allows the bus capacitance to grow with the number of paralleled power conversion modules, thereby yielding a bus impedance all the more lower that the power level is high. This also improves the SRU in term of mass and cost in several power ranges. The bus capacitor is further coupled to a low-level voltage bus preferably located onto a motherboard located parallel to the high-level power bus. This low-level voltage bus forms a resonance compensation provision to damp the resonance between the decentralized bus capacitance and parasitic interconnection inductance. The compensation is further improved by an additional resistance (R' board ) and an additional inductor (L' mod ).

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system are directed to maximizing network connectivity after a network failure in a network clustering system. A cluster master in a cluster is configured to manage membership to the cluster based, in part, on a connectivity of the members to adjacent networks. A network device sends information about its connectivity to the cluster master. The cluster master compares the received information to determine whether the network device has different connectivity than the cluster. If the network device has different connectivity, the cluster master may deny cluster membership to the network device. By rejecting network devices with different connectivity, the invention ensures that data received by the cluster may be delivered with substantially equal reliability by virtually any of the cluster members. Thus, even the cluster master may be rejected from membership to the cluster.
