Title: Method and apparatus for controlling flow of casing glass in a cased glass stream
Inventor: SCOTT GARRETT L
IPC: C03B7/084
Filed: 1998-03-27
Abstract: Apparatus for forming a cased glass stream having an inner core glass surrounded by an outer casing glass includes a first orifice for receiving core glass from a first source. A second orifice is vertically spaced beneath and aligned with the first orifice, and is surrounded by a chamber that communicates with the second orifice through a gap between the first and second orifices. A spout delivers casing glass from a second source through a tube to the chamber in such a way that glass flows by gravity from the first and second sources through the orifices to form the cased glass stream. Rate of glass flow through the second or casing glass source is measured and compared with one or more preset limits. Rate of casing glass flow from the second source to the chamber surrounding the orifices is adjusted when rate of flow through the second source departs from the preset limit. In this way, a desired ratio of casing glass to core glass, and consequently the desired thickness of the casing glass layer, is automatically maintained

Title: Electronic method for controlling charged particles to obtain optimum electrokinetic behavior
Inventor: WILLIAMSON FLOYD L
IPC: H01M10/44
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: An electronic method is described whereby the applied electromotive force optimizes the electrokinetic behavior of charged particles to match closely the natural electrical response and physical structure of the system. The method shapes the electromotive force's amplitude and frequency to normalize the relative interactions between the charged particles and the physical structure. An injection means (1) allows this method to be applied to a broad base of physical, biological, and electrochemical processes that depend on the electrokinetic behavior of charged particles. The method can effectively utilize the reactive energy or amplification occurring at natural system resonance to enhance the performance of the system without an increase in the applied power. In an electrochemical process the method provides an optimized mass transport perturbation, including the electrical double layer, that is perpendicular to the electrodes. Further, a battery module (52) is disclosed using this method to control and improve performance in electrolytic, galvanic, and storage modes of operation. Advantages of this method include less energy consumption, better material utilization, tighter process control, simpler circuitry, lower cost, longer operational life, and higher process throughput.
