Title: One piece internal casing for a hp-mp steamturbine with controlled cooling
IPC: F01D9/04
Filed: 1990-04-23
Granted: 1993-03-03
Abstract: HP-MP steam-turbine body comprising a single inner stator (57) surrounding the HP part (2) and MP part (3) of the rotor. The inner stator (57) defines with the outer stator (9) means (11) for the axial positioning of the inner stator (57), and a thermal screen (10) defines an inter-stator space (19) swept by the steam taken from one of the last stages (25) of the HP section (6). 
<??>The parts of the inner stator which surround the entire expansion sector of the HP section (6) and the hot stages of the MP section (8) are thus air-conditioned to an optimum degree, thereby making it possible to reduce the thermal gradient supported by the inner stator (57) and the temperature of the bolts of the stators (57) and (9).

Abstract: A method of manufacture of a durable abrasive sheet which includes a perforated metal sheet of woven metal mesh or the like having abrasive grit brazedly attached, imbedded in a backing substrate. The method includes the steps of coating a perforated metal substrate with a mixture of an infiltrant and a temporary binder and applying a layer of abrasive grit particles thereto. Thereafter, this product is heated to drive off the binder and attach the grit particles to the perforated metal substrate. The metal substrate having the grit particles attached is then imbedded in a backing substrate such that the portion of the perforated metal substrate having the grit particles attached are at the surface of the backing substrate. In order to provide a cutting type abrasive sheet material the particles are magnetically aligned on the perforated metal substrate and brazed in position. Thereafter, a deformable substrate sheet is place contiguous with the perforated metal substrate. This combination is placed in a press having a deformable pressure plate which is deformable with respect to the grit material used such that when pressure is applied to imbed the metal substrate the grit particles extend into the deformable pressure plate to provide exposed portions of the grit particles in the final abrasive sheet. A metallized ceramic substrate having abrasive grit particles brazedly attached are also utilized for imbedment in a backing substrate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is an isolated protein of 21,600 Da which binds to both latent and activated type IV collagenase with high affinity at 1:1 molar stoichiometry, thereby abolishing enzyme activity. The protein is purified by affinity chromatography on solid phase metalloproteinase, or solid phase metalloproteinase substrates which bind the enzyme-inhibitor complex. The complete primary structure of this protein (initially called CSC-21K), as determined by sequencing overlapping peptides spanning the entire protein, reveals homology with a protein called TIMP, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases. In addition, a cDNA for this novel inhibitor, now designated TIMP-2, was cloned from a melanoma cell and its sequence was compared with that of human TIMP-1. Northern blots of melanoma cell mRNA showed two distinct transcripts of 0.9 kb and 3.5 kb which are down-regulated by transforming growth factor- beta , and are unchanged by phorbol ester treatment. The inhibitor of the present invention may be used for treatment of pathologic conditions resulting from inappropriate degradation of extracellular matrix molecules by matrix metalloproteinases, such as metastatic neoplasia, myocardial infarction, and arthritis. Therapeutic treatments using this inhibitor may include formulations for inhalation and inclusion complexes adapted for buccal or sublingual administration, or administration of a recombinant DNA molecule which expresses a DNA segment that encodes the matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor of this invention.

Abstract: The invention comprises an n-bit analog-to-digital flash converter comprising 2n/2 input comparators, each having a first input coupled to receive the analog voltage to be converted and a second input coupled to a different reference voltage. The reference voltages of each consecutive input comparator are spaced apart two LSBs of the converter. Each input comparator has two outputs, OUT and an inverted version thereof, O^¨B7U^¨B7T^¨B7. 2n-1 consecutive latches are provided. Every other latch receives at its inputs the OUT and O^¨B7U^¨B7T^¨B7 signals from a single associated input comparator. All other latches receive the OUT signal of one of the input comparators and the O^¨B7U^¨B7T^¨B7 signal of an adjacent input comparator. The latches having inputs coupled to the OUT and O^¨B7U^¨B7T^¨B7 signals of a single input comparator produce a comparison output which change state every two LSBs of the converter and the latches having one input coupled to the OUT signal of one input comparator and the O^¨B7U^¨B7T^¨B7 signal of an adjacent input comparator produce comparison signals which change state halfway between the output signals of the adjacent latches. Thus, a comparison output is provided for every LSB of the full scale range of the converter using only 2n/2 input comparators.

Abstract: The process involves using a largely spherical cleaner (1) which is connected via a supply conduit (2) with a souce of pressure medium, and which exhibits a nozzle opening in the form of a largely continuous annular gap (6). This extends along the periphery of the cleaner (1) and is connected to the supply conduit (2) and the source of pressure medium. The medium is made to discharge through the annular gap (6) in order partly to clean inner walls of the line, and partly, as a result of the forces of reaction from the discharging medium, to make the cleaner (1) move into the pipeline. The cleaner (1) is brought into contact with an inner wall of the line. A reduced pressure is established between the cleaner (1) and the inner wall and it is made to move around about the cross-section of the line by twisting of the supply conduit.

Abstract: Gas and liquid separation with membranes has either been achieved by organic polymer membranes, which are limited by low temperature stability and a separation mechanism through adsorption or solubility in the membrane matrix, or by inorganic membranes, whose gas and liquid separation efficiency is limited by Knudsen diffusion. The membranes of this invention show a temperature stability up to 500 DEG C and a gas separation with separation factors better than the Knudsen limit. Continuous microporous inorganic membranes of any desirable thickness can be prepared by e-beam evaporation of metal oxides on a support membrane, which has substantially larger pores than the metal oxide membrane. It is advantageous when the support membrane consists of the same material as the microporous membrane. The membranes are of porous structure with a narrow pore size distribution of pores, where the majority of the pores have diameters smaller than 1 nm. The membranes can be used in all areas of gas and liquid separation, where the selective separation of smaller molecules from mixtures is desired (f.e. gas concentration by removal of water from natural gas, hydrogen from synthesis gas). The membranes can also be used for the concentration of aqueous solutions (fruit juices with retention of aroma compounds, vitamines and other compounds important for the flavor and nutritional value of the juice; biological liquids like lymphe, blood, or others with retention of valuable compounds including small peptides, hormones, antibiotics and others) and for the concentration of organic solutions with retention of molecules larger than the solvent including oligomers and polymers. The membranes can also be used for the concentration of waste water with retention of organic contaminants like phenol resins and coal oil at coking plants. If the membranes have been made catalytically active, the membranes can also be used for the selective and poison resistant conduction of heterogeneously catalyzed three phase reactions by having the reaction gas diffusing through the catalytically active membrane to react at the other side of the membrane with the liquid, consisting of molecules too large to penetrate the pores.

As a result, a programming of programmable integrated circuits (PIS) on equipped circuit boards (VPL) is accomplished as part of functional testing. With the aid of the method according to the invention a considerable reduction in cost is achieved in the production of circuit boards (VPL) or assemblies with programmable integrated circuits (PIS) by the avoidance of separate programming on a special programming terminal and program-individual stock keeping of the programmed integrated circuits (PIS). <IMAGE>
