Abstract: An apparatus for testing and calibration in automated test equipment includes a time varying signal channel having a series-connected solid state switch interposed between a time varying signal circuit end and a device under test end of the time varying signal channel. A DC test channel is connected to the time varying signal channel between the series-connected solid state switch and the device under test end, and has at least one solid state switch interposed along the DC test channel to provide switchable coupling between a DC parametrics circuit side of the DC test channel and the time varying signal channel. A time varying signal level calibration channel is connected to the time varying signal channel between the series-connected solid state switch and the time varying signal circuit end, and has at least one solid state switch interposed along the signal level calibration to provide switchable coupling between a DC parametrics circuit side of the signal level calibration channel and the time varying signal channel. The time varying signal channel may have a low resistance type solid state switch, while the DC test channel, the signal level calibration channel, or both, may have low capacitance type solid state switches. Thus, opto-coupled MOSFETS, pin diodes, or other kind of solid state switches, may be utilized. The DC test channel, or the signal level calibration channel, or both, may have a force branch and a sense branch each having a solid state switch.

Abstract: A liquid jet pump for moving a wide variety of material is described. The liquid jet pump is comprised of a nozzle assembly (307) and a target tube (206), and defines a suction chamber (205). The nozzle assembly is configured to pull in gas, causing a gas bearing effect wherein a layer of gas surrounds the liquid jet flow exiting the nozzle assembly. The liquid jet passes through the suction chamber with minimal deflection, reducing cavitation and improving mixing as educted materials enter the suction chamber and combine with the liquid jet. The combined material is directed into the target tube, which preferably is designed to detach from the other components, is composed of abrasion-resistant material and provides ease of changing parts. The nozzle assembly is preferably positioned within the suction chamber in a way which maximizes vacuum, and the vacuum is maintained in relation to the pressure or vacuum produced by a downstream pump by controlling the gas flow into the nozzle assembly.

Abstract: A staged gasification process and system for thermal gasification of special waste fractions and biomass, e.g. wood comprises a drier (1), in which the fuel is dried by contact with superheated steam. The dried fuel is fed into a pyrolysis unit (4) to which superheated steam is also supplied. The volatile tar containing components produced in the pyrolysis unit (4) is passed to an oxidation zone (5) in which an oxidation agent is added so as to cause a partial oxidation, whereby the content of tar is substantially reduced. The solid fuel components from the pyrolysis unit (4) may be fed into a gasification unit (6) to which hot gases from the oxidation zone (5) are supplied. In the gasification unit (6) the solid fuel components are gasified or converted to carbon. The gas produced in the gasification unit (6) may be burnt in a combustion unit (7), such as a combustion engine. Thus, a gasification process is obtained for gasification of biomass and waste with a high energy efficiency, low tar content of the gasification gas, with moderate risk of slagging for a wide spectrum of fuels, including fuels with a large content of moisture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a decision procedure in combinational logic which requires a computing time of n for determining the congestion of a railway track system. The railway track system supports n trains, each with a route length of m itineraries. Prior to setting a requested route segment for a given train, a query is performed to check train positions and whether the given train is allowed to travel on the track sectors to be used for the requested route segment, without causing a possibility that the track system may become congested. The processing steps can be reduced. a) verification of whether a train can reach the next immediate track sector of a route; b) verification for a two-train variation whether a reference position of the first train prevents the second train from traveling on its route; c) new dependencies are created using transitivity and for combinations of two trains, a verification is made whether a cogent sequence exists. Step c) is iterated until no new dependencies occur or no train can reach its destination.
