Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for determining the thermodynamic properties and percentage of each component of a multi-component gas medium by using speed of sound in conjunction with other data. The present system comprises a computer system with means for obtaining the temperature, pressure, and speed of sound of a gas medium. The computer system operates according to operating logic stored in memory. According to the operating logic, measurements of the temperature, pressure, speed of sound and acoustic impedance are recorded in a gas pipe or other transport device to determine a convergent temperature range. Next a convergent series is extrapolated from the convergent temperature range and a convergent series calculation using isochoric convergence iterations is performed to obtain estimates of the thermo-physical properties of the gas medium.

Abstract: A fluid pressurization apparatus utilizing a slanted cam disk to oscillate, or to oscillate and rotate a set of piston assemblies arranged in a circle. The motion of the pistons is utilized to pressurize fluid or to perform work. The piston assemblies have multiple elements configured to allow the plungers to be engaged or disengaged to the motion of a disk by manipulating a working fluid introduced into the apparatus. By virtue of these disengageable plungers, the apparatus can be disabled and resumed at will. This apparatus is particularly well suited for pressurizing liquids such as water for high-pressure and high-flow applications.

The first surfactant includes a compound selected from ethoxylated hydrogenated fatty oils, monosaccharides, monosaccharide derivatives, polysaccharides, polysaccharide derivatives, and combinations thereof. Other ingredients can also be added. The composition can be applied as an aqueous emulsion to a substrate such as a nonwoven web, to provide enhanced wettability combined with skin enhancement to the wearer.

Abstract: A method for mixing fluids in which a continuously variable flow rate stream of an injection fluid is introduced into a substantially constant flow rate stream of a primary fluid in a direction substantially transverse with respect to the direction of flow of the substantially constant flow rate stream of the primary fluid.

Abstract: Nonwoven webs prepared from a blend of polymer and a migrating internal additive are heat treated only in selected regions to cause surface migration of the additive in those regions. The nonwoven webs have a desired property attributed to the additive in the selective regions. Regions surrounding the selected regions are not heat treated, and are either devoid of the desired property, or manifest the property to a lesser extent than in the heat treated regions.

Abstract: A round-shank bit for a coal cutting machine or the like, having a bit head and a bit shank, wherein the bit head has a bit tip, maintained by a base element in a receptacle of the bit head. Starting at the base element, the bit tip tapers in a direction toward the free end of the bit tip, wherein the base element forms a maximum diameter of the bit tip, and wherein the bit tip has recesses on its outer contour. In order to assure good rotational behavior over the entire length of the operating time, the base element has the recesses on an outer circumference forming the maximum diameter.

Abstract: A system for inspecting in-service gas distribution mains is disclosed. Coiled tubing technology and magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technology are integrated to produce a new inspection system for low pressure, in-service distribution pipelines. The coiled tubing provides the means by which an inspection module employing MFL technology is inserted into, moved through, and removed from an in-service pipeline. A portable inspection system can thereby be moved to a desired location on a trailer. The sensor module comprises a plurality of magnet assemblies each having a Magnet N out, a Magnet S out and a magnet core, the magnet assemblies being conical in shape and being arranged into a circular array. The magnet array diameter is smaller than that of a pipe to be inspected, thus defining a radial air gap. The magnet array being constructed and arranged to provide a magnetic circuit having sufficient strength so as to be operable through the radial air gap.

In the coupling plate, suspension elements adapted to the coupling element are formed by at least one correspondingly shaped window in a plane of the coupling plate.

Abstract: A creped nonwoven web having permanent crepe includes regions of interfilament bonding which are permanently bent out-of-plane, alternating with regions of no interfilament bonding. The non-bonded regions include a multiplicity of filament loops which terminate at both ends in the creped interfilament-bonded regions. The creped nonwoven web is useful as the female component of a hook-and-loop fastener, and can also be used in diaper outercovers, liners, transfer and surge layers, wipers, and other fluid handling products.

Abstract: A switching cabinet with two side walls, a back wall, a bottom side and a cover side and with frame pieces which, at least in part, are formed by multiple beveling of the side walls, the back wall, the bottom side or the cover side in the inner space of the switching cabinet, where the sections formed by beveling have a section which is inclined or parallel to the plane of the corresponding side wall, the back wall, the bottom side or the cover side and is at a distance from these. Extended mounting capabilities are offered by the fact that the inclined or parallel sections of two bordering walls standing perpendicular to one another or of a wall and a side of the switching cabinet are assigned to one another in such a way that they form a deepened inside receptacle in the inside space of the switching cabinet.

Abstract: A fastening device for attachment of, for example, mounting rails to vertical frame profiles of a switchgear cabinet. The frame profiles have rows of evenly distributed fastening retainers. A fastening block, which has fastening retainers for connecting the mounting rail or the like, can be added to the frame profile. In order to secure fastening of the mounting rail on the vertical frame profile, which only requires a small outlay of parts, the fastening block is manufactured either as a punched and bent element from a sheet metal blank or as an extruded element. At least one hook element projects from the fastening block, which can be suspended in an associated fastening retainer of the frame profile. The fastening block has two lateral walls, which extend at right angles with respect to each other and form a common vertical inner edge facing the interior of the switchgear cabinet. The lateral walls are equipped with the fastening retainers for connecting the add-on elements.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer having a hollow body with at least one opening and forming a chamber. A plug is removeably mounted within each opening. At least a portion of the plug is positioned between two contact surfaces of a sealing device. The sealing device further has a threaded member rotatably mounted with respect to the plug and mateably engageable with an internally threaded bore formed by a first plate of the sealing device. As the threaded member is rotated, the two plates of the sealing device move towards each other which compresses and deforms at least a portion of the plug. An outer surface of a portion of the plug is enlarged and compressed against an inner surface of the hollow body to form a tight seal that contains a fill within the chamber.
