IPC: B04B1/20
Filed: 2005-04-25
Abstract: A centrifuge of the type having an outer bowl and an inner rotor both of which are generally cylindrical and rotate in the same direction but at slightly different rates separates slurry fed into the interior of the rotor into solids and liquid. An auger flight on the outside surface of the rotor carries the solids along the annular channel between the outside of the rotor and the inside of the bowl.

Title: Anti-vibration tube support
Inventor: KEEN MALCOLM D
IPC: F28F9/013
Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: A tube support device is used with tube bundle devices such as heat exchangers or, condensers with in-line tube arrangements (rectangular tube configuration) to mitigate the possibility of tube damage from flow-induced vibration in the tube bundle. The tube support comprises an elongated member or strip which is intended to be inserted in a tube lane between the tubes of the tube bundle. Raised-tube-engaging zones which include transverse, arcuate tube-receiving saddles are disposed along the length of the strip at successive longitudinal locations corresponding to the tube positions in the bundle.  These tube-engaging zones extend laterally out, away from the medial plane of the strip, so that the saddles receive and closely hold the tubes on opposite sides of the tube lane. The support device may be made of two strips joined back-to-back with the tube-engaging zones extending out from one face of each strip or, alternatively, by a single strip with longitudinal slits which enable the tube-engaging zones to extend out on alternate faces of the strip at each tube location.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing lithium transition metallates of the general formula (I):      Li x (M1 y M2 1-y) n O nx, where M1 represents nickel, cobalt or manganese; M2 represents chromium, cobalt, iron, manganese, molybdenum and/or aluminum and is not equal to M1; n is equal to 2 if M1 = Mn, and 1 in all other cases; x is a number between 0.9 and 1.2; y is a number between 0.5 and 1.0; and z is a number between 1.9 and 2.1. According to the method, an intimate solid mixture is produced of oxygen-containing compounds of the transition metals and oxygen-containing lithium compound and this mixture calcinated in a reactor, the calcination takes place at least partly at an absolute pressure of less than 0.5 bar. This method solves the problem of insufficient removal of gases produced during calcination and provides a process requiring shorter reaction times and lower temperatures. A process for preparing a preliminary mixture for producing the lithium transition metallates comprises impregnating sparingly soluble transition metal compounds with highly concentrated lithium salt solutions and then drying.

Filed: 2004-02-12
Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, devices and kits for the timed dispensing of laundry additive materials into the drum during a cycle of a multiple cycle fabric laundering operation. To bring about such dispensing of additives, a housing structure device having multiple chambers is placed within the drum of an automatic washing machine, a unit dose insert package, containing laundry additives in at least one compartment of the insert, is placed within the housing structure, and the machine is run through the several stages of its laundering cycle. A piercing element is provided to open the compartment of the insert in the laundering cycle to dispense contents of this compartment into the washing machine drum as rinse additive materials. The contents move from the insert to the first chamber of the housing structure device by centrifugal force arising during the first spin cycle of the laundering operation. The centrifugal force also holds the contents within the first chamber until cessation of the spin cycle. The contents move from the second chamber to the third chamber to be dispensed from the housing structure into the washing machine drum upon cessation of the spin cycle and during the second spin cycle.

Abstract: A chimeric transactivator comprises a transcription activation domain, a repressor protein DNA binding domain and the bacterial DNA gyrase B subunit. A target gene is operatively linked to operator DNA sequences recognized by th e repressor binding domain. The addition of the antibiotic coumermycin results in a coumermycin-switched dimerization of the transactivator, which then bin ds to operator DNA sequences and activates transcription of the target gene. Th e addition of novobiocin switches off expression of the target gene by abolishing coumermycin-induced dimerization of the transactivator.
