  • Patent number: 5492957
    Abstract: Proposed is a novel face coat composition having improved stability used in the preparation of a shell-like casting mold for a high melting point metal or alloy by the lost-wax mold method by forming a face coat layer on a wax model using the composition and further forming a backup coat layer thereon followed by removal of the wax by melting and calcination of the shell-like mold formed from the layers. The face coat composition comprises a rare earth oxide powder as the refractory constituent and a binder which is a synthetic resin in the form of an aqueous emulsion, a water-soluble organic polymer in the form of an aqueous solution, a sol of an inorganic oxide such as aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide and zirconium oxide or a combination thereof. A small amount of a powder of rare earth glass can be admixed to the composition so that the face coat layer formed from the face coat composition may have still improved properties.

  • Patent number: 5401923
    Abstract: A resistor-provided UHV breaker includes a tank, a main contact unit, a resistor unit, a resistor contact unit, support members, and a displacement absorbing system. The support members are arranged between the main contact and the resistor unit to support the resistor unit relative to the main contact unit. The displacement absorbing system is arranged at both ends of the resistor unit to absorb the relative displacement of the resistor unit in its axial direction.

  • Patent number: 5258573
    Abstract: A large-area superconductor magnetic shield comprising a plurality of small superconductor unit layers stuck onto the surface of a large-area substrate, wherein the external peripheral sections of the adjacent unit layers are overlapped mutually or the end sections of the adjacent unit layers are abutted mutually such that the adjacent unit layers do not make contact with one another. Compared with conventional magnetic shields, the magnetic shielding amount at the overlapping sections of the magnetic shield of the present invention is substantially greater.

  • Patent number: 4523052
    Abstract: A gas-insulated bushing including an insulating tube filled with an insulating gas, a central conductor centrally arranged within the insulating tube, and a capacitor unit connected to the central conductor and partitioning the interior of the insulating tube. The central conductor has an intermediate constriction to which the capacitor unit is connected and is formed of two connected conductor parts, at least one of which is terminally restricted to form the constriction. A pair of flanges is secured to the ends of respective of the conductor parts and connects the conductor parts at the constriction. A shield member is supported on one of the flanges and spaced apart from the conductor parts at the constriction in order to relieve the electric field at the constriction.
