Patent EP-1857725-A3 (EP)
Inventor: FREEMANN RICHARD WARD
IPC: F16L59/14
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: A system in which the half-shells (16) are installed and, prior to their rupture, a polyurethane foam (22) is used to backfill the annular space. This allows for easy insertion of the half-shells since a small clearance can be provided, but does mean that the necessary physical and thermal properties are nevertheless obtained. The polyurethane foam forms a close fitting enclosure around the half-shells so that after they are breached, they work as intended. Thus, a pipe-in-pipe apparatus comprises a central flow pipe and an outer pipe, wherein the annular space between two comprises a particulate insulation material (18), the remains of vacuum-packaging of the material, and a polyurethane foam in intimate contact with at least one of the pipes and at least one of the remains and the particulate material. Further, a method of preparing a pipe-in-pipe apparatus comprises the steps of assembling a pair of pipes, one within the other, inserting a plurality of sealed packages containing a particulate insulation material into the space between the two pipes, backfilling at least part of the remainder of the space between the pipes with a polyurethane foam, and rupturing the packaging of the half-shells.

Abstract: A method for producing a low-resistivity silicon single crystal in which a silicon wafer having a crystal axis orientation [110] can be obtained and dislocations are sufficiently eliminated, and a method for producing a low-resistance silicon wafer having the crystal axis orientation [110] from the silicon single crystal obtained by the low-resistivity silicon single crystal production method. In this Czochralski method, the silicon single crystal whose center axis is inclined by 0.6° to 10° relative to a crystal axis [110] is grown by dipping a silicon seed crystal in a silicon melt. Boron as a dopant is added in the silicon melt so that a boron concentration ranges from 6.25×10 17  to 2.5×10 20  atoms/cm3, a center axis of the silicon seed crystal is inclined by 0.6° to 10° relative to the crystal axis [110], and the silicon seed crystal has the substantially same boron concentration as that of a neck portion formed in the single crystal grown from the silicon melt.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell with a non-prismatic casing and solid cathode is the present invention. The casing has a front side wall, a back side wall, a right side wall, a left side wall, a top wall, and bottom wall. The non-prismatic function is obtained by having the right and left side walls having tapered widths - wide near the top wall and narrower near the bottom wall. A solid anode having a uniform height is positioned against the front side wall and/or the back side wall. A solid cathode is surrounded by a separator and has at least a tapered height to correspond to the tapered right and left side walls wherein the anode's front side is parallel with the front major sidewall and the anode's back side is parallel with the back major sidewall. This non-prismatic design decreases the formation of voids and maximizes the amount of cathode in non-prismatic casing designs to obtain the optimal electrochemical capabilities.
