Title: A method for decomposition of hydrocarbons.
Inventor: LYNUM STEINAR
IPC: C09C1/48
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: In a method for decomposition of hydrocarbons for the production of hydrogen and carbon black, the feed stock is passed through a plasma torch, which causes a pyrolytic decomposition of the feed stock. The feed stock is transported through the plasma torch (A) in a cooled lead-in tube (1) and undergoes a first heating in an area in the immediate vicinity of the plasma flame. The material thereby produced is passed on to one or more subsequent stages where the final and complete decomposition of the hydrocarbons to carbon black and hydrogen occurs. In this area further raw material may be added which causes quenching and reacts with the already produced carbon black. An increase is thereby caused in particle size, density and amount produced without further energy supply, whereafter the products produced are expelled and separated and hot gas may be transported in a return pipe to the torch, in order to further increase the energy yield.

Abstract: In a method of producing a λ/4-shifted diffraction grating, a positive type photoresist is applied onto a substrate so that the surface level of the photoresist may be in the vicinity of a node nearest to the substrate in a light intensity distribution in the thickness direction of the photoresist, which light intensity distribution is produced by an interference between light reflected by the substrate and incident light. Then, the photoresist is subjected to two-luminous-flux interference exposure, followed by a development, providing a pattern comprising a plurality of photoresist films each having an over-hanging portion. Thereafter, an insulating film is deposited on the photoresist, a first protective resist is selectively formed on the photoresist, the insulating film which is not covered with the first resist is removed, the substrate is etched using the photoresist, which is not covered with the first resist, as a mask, the photoresist is removed together with the first resist and the insulating film on the photoresist by lift-off, leaving the insulating film on the substrate, a second protective resist is selectively formed on the etched surface of the substrate, and the substrate is etched using the insulating film on the substrate as a mask, whereby a region whose phase is reversed with respect to the region covered with the second protective resist is produced.

Abstract: In a device for controlling the reverse rotation of a motor, output pulses of a detector (3) connected to an axis of rotation of a motor (1) are counted for each very small unit time period Δt after a reverse rotation instruction is output to the motor (1), and the speed  N  and the acceleration  α  of the motor are calculated for each very small unit time period Δt. It is judged that the motor (1) is rotated in the reverse direction at the time point where the acceleration  α  is switched from the negative to the positive when the calculated speed  N  of the motor is not more than a predetermined reference speed Nth. In addition, when it is judged that the motor is not rotated in the reverse direction within a predetermined time period which has elapsed after a reverse rotation instruction was output to the motor (1), it is judged that an abnormality has occured in the control device, so that the motor (1) is stopped.

Abstract: Two coils 3, 3 are wound over the piled portions of a first magnetic core possessing two closed magnetic circuits and a second magnetic core. The winding directions of the two coils are so set that the magnetomotive forces generated by the both coils may cancel each other in the second magnetic core. The magnetic fluxes flowing in the first magnetic core decrease the higher harmonics of the input current of the power source circuit, while the magnetic fluxes flowing in the second magnetic core 2 decrease the noise between the line and the ground. That is, the choke coil of the invention possesses the function of choke coil and the function of noise filter at the same time.

Abstract: A fitting (1) designed, for example, as a non-return valve (2) has an outer housing (3) which has an inner lip seal (7) interacting with a closing element (5) and an outer annular seal (8). Both the outer housing (3) and the seals (7, 8) are designed as injection moulded parts. The production of the outer housing (3) with the seals (7, 8) is carried out in an injection moulding process in which first the outer housing (3) and, in a second operation, the seals (7, 8) are injection moulded. If appropriate, more than two operations, in particular in the case of more than two injection moulding components, may be provided. By virtue of the fact that the seals (7, 8) are injection moulded, they are durable and bonded tightly to the outer housing (3), as a result of which simplifications in production and design are possible. <IMAGE>

Title: One-hand openable and closable umbrella

Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: There is disclosed a one-hand openable and closable umbrella which does not cause the relative rotational movement and displacement between an inner shaft (10) and an outer shaft (20). The inner shaft (10) has a U-shaped groove (11) extending in the lengthwise direction thereof and the outer shaft (20) has a convex block (22) provided inside a lower nest (23) mounted on the top of the outer shaft (20). By the engagement of the convex block (22) of the outer shaft (20) with the U-shaped groove (11) of the inner shaft (10), the inner and outer shaft neither turn nor displace relative to each other when the latter slides on the former. Moreover, since a plastic sleeve (33) is put on the upper end portion of the inner shaft (10) inside a spring (32) mounted thereon, any frictional force between the spring (32) and the inner shaft (10) and between the spring (32) and an upper nest (13) can be decreased, by which the umbrella can be smoothly opened and closed.
