Abstract: A reverse-conducting GTO thyristor comprises a gate turn-off thyristor and a diode which are formed on a single semi-conductor substrate so as to have a common layer and be connected electrically in an inverse-parallel connection. A power converter is composed of a plurality of pairs (21,22;23,24;25,26) of these reverse-conducting GTO thyristors connected in series, each pair ofthyristors being controlled so that they are turned on and off in opposite phases. An OFF gate pulse for one of each pair of thyristors continues from a time on or after the generation of an ON gate pulse for the other thyristor to the time when a recovery current flowing through the diode portion of the first thyristor is extinguished. The thus-extended OFF gate pulse functions to prevent any displacement current flowing through the GTO portion of the first thyristor during the recovery time for the diode portion thereof.

Abstract: The improved pipe flushing device comprises an elongated, elastomeric, hollow tubular member having a middle portion free to expand radially under water pressure. The rear Inlet end of the tubular member is fitted with a hose connector, while the narrow front outlet end of the tubular member contains a valve which opens upon expansion of the middle portion. The valve has a cage bearing a rear plate closure, and open sides and front. The rear plate is received in a transverse groove in the outlet, which groove is of a greater length than the thickness of the plate. The cage is gripped and held in a fixed position while the tubular member is in the relaxed unexpanded state. However, when the device is inflated by water pressure from a water hose connected to the inlet connector while in a water pipe, the middle portion thereof expands to meet the wall of the pipe. When the expansion is complete, the cage moves back in the outlet, the plate moving resrwardly in the groove to cause a mechanical vibration in the tubular member and water pipe. Waterthen by-passes the plate and passes through and out of the cage as a jet to break up a sewage clog. Upon expulsion of the jet, the middle portion contracts and the valve moves forward and closes, again causing sonic vibrations in the tubular member and water pipe. The expansion and contraction of the tubular member rapidly alternate to rapidly pulse water jets and vib ate the pipe to unclog the pipe.

Abstract: The salt content of crude oil is reduced by washing crude oil containing residual salt water with wash water of lower satinity than the water present in the crude oil and allowing the resulting mixture to settle into a layer of crude oil of reduced salt water content and a layer of saline water. The quantity of wash water employed is greater than 7.5% by volume of the crude oil. 
     The saline water may be recycled and a proportion removed from the recycle stream and a corresponding quantity of water of lower salinity added. 
     Washing with relatively large quantities of water results in the formation of a less stable emulsion. Consequently, less severe conditions are required to break it to recover the desalted crude oil.

Abstract: Fuel injection apparatus including a power converter for generating a stable, high voltage DC signal for powering the fuel injectors. The power converter is connected to a voltage source such as a vehicle battery. The power converter includes a DC-DC converter and a feedback- stabilized converter control circuit. The converter control circuit adjusts the operation of the DC-DC converter in a direction to counteract changes in output voltage caused by battery voltage variations. The high voltage DC signal is applied to each injector through one or more solid state switches. Since the signal used to power the fuel injectors is substantially constant regardless of normal battery voltage variations, the injector pull-in time is substantially constant. Moreover, the use of a high voltage power signal enables low current injectors to be used. The low injector current results in low power dissipation by the solid state switches which operate the injectors. The output voltage generated by the converter is also used to bootstrap the power signal applied to the converter control circuit.
