Abstract: Multimodal cermet compositions having lower melting point metal binders and methods of making are provided The multimodal cermet compositions having a low melting point metal binder include a) a ceramic phase, and b) a low melting point metal binder phase, wherein the ceramic phase is a metal boride with a multimodal distribution of particles, wherein the metal of the metal boride is chosen from Group IV, Group V, Group VI elements of the Long Form of the Periodic Table of Elements, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the low melting metal binder phase is represented by the formula (DEF). One or more advantages of the multimodal cermets with low melting point binder are high packing density of the ceramic phase, high fracture toughness, and improved erosion resistance at high temperatures up to 1000°C. The multimodal cermets with low melting point binder are suitable in high temperature erosion/corrosion applications in various chemical and petroleum environments.

Abstract: A strap hook retainer mounted alongside a platform retains the strap hook of a tie down strap for securing cargo onto the platform. In a first embodiment, the strap hook retainer includes a hook opening between an upright retainer flange and a lower flange in which the lower flange portion is offset outwardly in relation to the upright retainer flange portion to define a supporting surface which supports the strap hook when the tie down strap is slack. In a second embodiment, the retainer is mates with a mounting track of the platform such that the base of the retainer is slidable along the track. The strap hook is hooked onto a retainer flange spaced below the base to receive the strap hook therebetween. A stop flange below the retainer flange portion serves to support the strap hook when the tie down strap is slack in this instance.

Title: Feed delivery system for a solid-liquid separation vessel
Inventor: SURY KEN N
IPC: B01D21/24
Filed: 2010-08-17
Abstract: A method of delivering feed, for example a paraffinic solvent treated bitumen froth, to a separation vessel, for example a froth separation unit (FSU). The feed is delivered from one or more inlets into the side of a series of parallel plates that form a series of channels which may be either vertical or inclined at an intermediate angle. This feed inlet flow conditioning system is characterized by a Channel Reynolds number of less than 3000. Such inlet flow conditioning is particularly useful where the feed has particles with a bi-modal size distribution to be separated from an overflow stream. The low Reynolds number combined with the influence of the walls serves to mitigate the upward flux of the smaller particles, for example mineral solids, by trapping the smaller particles within a matrix of larger particles, for example precipitated asphaltene aggregates.

Abstract: A target for use with a projectile has a web defining a target face and has a depth. The web also defines one or more segments within the web that open toward the target face One or more cups are mounted for sliding within the web and substantially fill the target face of one or more segments of the web. Each of the cups has one or more resilient cushions, between each cup and the back board. Each cushion has one or more electroconductive areas. The web is covered by a cladding. The back board has an array of switch contacts on a pad forming an electrical switch. The projectile impacts a cup at the target face with sufficient force to cause the cup for that insert to slide within the web and have the electroconductive area of the one or more cushion contact the switch contacts on the pad beneath that cup, resulting in closing of the electrical switch defined by the switch contact. The one or more resilient cushions beneath that cup return the cup substantially to its original position.

Abstract: A container can include a base, a lid, and a tamper-evident, closed band. The base can define a space and an opening at a periphery, the opening can include at least one outwardly extending base flange, and the flange can have a contact surface. The base can also include a base sealing section. The lid can have a shape that generally matches the opening of the base generally at a periphery of the lid. The lid can also include at least one outwardly extending lid flange with a contact surface at the periphery, as well as a lid sealing section. The base sealing section and the lid sealing section can together form a reclosable snap fit when the lid is forcibly applied to the opening of the base to generally close the opening.  Further, the base flange and lid flange can be in at least approximate alignment when the opening is closed such that the lid and base Ranges can be manually pulled apart to separate the lid and base and overcome the snap fit. The lid and base flanges can also include a removed portion to create an increased distance between contact surfaces on the lid and base flanges at at least one region. The tamper-evident, closed band can attach at a first end to one of the base and lid substantially along its entire periphery. At a second end, the band can have a free end. The tamper-evident band can be substantially detachable from the base or lid as a closed band. The band can also extend to substantially prevent direct manual access to the lid and base flanges.

Abstract: Confusion resulting from assigning the same node identifier to multiple nodes is resolved through the use of confusion detection techniques and the use of unique identifiers for the nodes. In some aspects a network may provide a time gap (e.g., an asynchronous time gap) during which an access terminal may temporarily cease monitoring transmissions from a source node so that the access terminal may acquire a unique identifier from a target node. In some aspects an access terminal may commence handover operations at a target node after determining whether the access terminal is allowed to access the target node. In some aspects a source node may prepare several target nodes for potential handover in the event confusion is detected or likely. Here, the source node may send information relating to the preparation of the potential target nodes to the access terminal whereby the access terminal uses the handover preparation information to initiate a handover at that target node.
