Patent EP-0364136-B1 (EP)
Inventor: TEMPLE STEPHEN
IPC: B41J2/16
Filed: 1989-09-29
Granted: 1994-08-03
Abstract: A high density multi-channel array, electrically pulsed droplet deposition apparatus comprises a sheet (14) of piezoelectric material poled in a direction normal to said sheet and formed with a plurality of parallel channels (12) mutually spaced in an array direction normal to the length of said channels. Each channel is defined by a pair of facing side walls (16) and a bottom surface (18) extending between the respective side walls (16). A top sheet (20) facing said bottom surfaces of said channels and bonded to said side walls closes the channels at their tops. Each of the channels is further formed with a forward part of uniform depth between the bottom surface and the top sheet and a part rearwardly of the forward part of lesser depth than the forward part. Each of at least some of the side walls of the forward parts include electrodes (34) on opposite sides thereof to form shear mode actuators for effecting droplet expulsion from the channels associated with the actuators. Each electrode extends substantially along the length of the corresponding side wall and over an area from the edge of the side wall adjoining the top sheet which is so spaced from the bottom surface of the channel in which the electrode (34) is disposed as to leave the portion of the wall adjacent the bottom surface of the channel substantially free from elastic distortion when an electric field is applied across the electrodes of the associated wall.

Abstract: A torsional vibration damper in which a fly-ring (3) is fixed on the outer circumference of a hub ring (1) of metallic material by a separately manufactured spring ring (4) of rubber. On the side facing the spring ring (4), the hub ring (1) is provided with a firmly adhering continuous coating (5) of thermosetting plastic. The ratio of the mean radial thickness (A) of the coating and of the mean radial thickness (B) of the spring ring (4) is from 0.25 to 3. The thermal expansion of the coating (5) which occurs during use brings about a radial prestress of corresponding size in the spring ring (4). As a result, the spring ring always has largely corresponding spring properties irrespective of the operating temperature.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for the speedy drying of a material by the application of microwaves, the material itself possibly being fragile. The invention concerns a method which consists in the application of microwaves with a quantity of energy enough to bring the temperatures of the surface and/or of the centre of the material up to a determined upper limit which is a function of the nature of the material, in the application thereafter of the microwaves, when the temperature or temperatures fall to a determined lower limit which too is a function of the material, until the temperature or temperatures again reach that upper limit, and in the renewal of the application of the microwaves in the same conditions until the desired degree of humidity is attained. According to the method of this invention the application of microwaves takes place with waveguide means inclined in relation to the plane of positioning of the material, that is to say, inclined according to the inclination of the Brewster angle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a continuous process for the preparation of phosphorous acid with simultaneous production of hydrochloric acid, a reaction zone is provided which is in open communication with a first scrubbing zone. A portion of the reaction product is recycled from the bottom of the reaction zone into the top of the scrubbing zone and phosphorous acid is removed from the circulation. Hydrogen chloride gas escaping from the top of the first scrubbing zone is brought into contact, in a cooled, second scrubbing zone, with an overstoichiometric amount of water. Hydrochloric acid is obtained which is passed as starting material into the reaction zone or into the top of the first scrubbing zone. The external cooling of the second scrubbing zone is controlled such that the temperature in the reaction zone is kept constant at a desired value between 90 DEG  and 130 DEG  C. without adding any external cooling or heating energy. Pure hydrochloric acid is recovered in an absorption zone.
