  • Publication number: 20240006710
    Abstract: A protective housing (100) for batteries, accumulators and electrical cells, with a body (101) which forms a chamber (105) for accommodating the battery, accumulator and/or electrical cells. The housing has at least one chamber, wherein this chamber extends over at least one surface forming at least one wall of the housing and forms a cavity to receive water therein. The cavity has at least one one-way valve for relieving excess pressure and an inlet channel for filling the cavity with water, and the chamber has at least one connection via an electrical cable (107) to the outside of the housing (100) and at least one inner surface (109) of the housing forming the cavity in which the thermally conductive water is present.

  • Patent number: 9174370
    Abstract: Provided is a fine paper powder-containing resin molded object with a content of a thermoplastic resin being reduced to offer a lighter weight and a superior mechanical strength, and a manufacturing method thereof. The fine paper powder-containing resin molded object (1) is made from a thermoplastic resin containing fine paper powder and is composed of a non-foam layer (2) formed on the surface and a foam layer (3) formed in the inner side. The foam layer (3) has, in the order from the surface side, a first foam layer (3a) containing cells having an average cell diameter ranging from 10 to 100 ?m, a second foam layer (3b) containing cells having an average cell diameter from 5 to 50 ?m, and a third foam layer (3c) containing cells having an average cell diameter from 20 to 500 ?m. The molded object (1) contains an aromatizing ingredient.

  • Publication number: 20150072904
    Abstract: Emulsions usable within a wellbore as drilling fluids can be prepared by adding an internal phase to an external phase to form an emulsion base, and adding solid organophilizated mineral structures, a matrix stabilizing agent, a weighting agent, and a secondary stabilizer to the emulsion base. The solid organophilizated mineral structures stabilize the emulsion base and affect the rheology thereof, and the matrix stabilizing agent and the secondary stabilizer can retain the stability and viscosity of the emulsion base in the presence of hydrophilic solids. In addition to use as a wellbore fluid independently, usable emulsions can be compatible with and combined with traditional emulsions to form a mixture usable within a wellbore a drilling fluid.

  • Patent number: 4308144
    Abstract: In a long vertical shaft sewage circulation waste treatment process where influent waste is introduced into the shaft through a downcomer conduit, an improvement is provided whereby the downcomer conduit, because of its flexible construction, is made to collapse by the application of external pressure from surrounding fluid waste in the shaft. Such collapse acts as a check valve which pinches closed the influent conduit and prevents reversal of flow in the circulation system. External pressure collapse of the flexible conduit is produced by a pressure differential between influent within the conduit and the surrounding fluid waste caused, for example, by flow interruption or power failure. The need to employ mechanical check valves, which are subject to malfunction, is eliminated.
