Abstract: An injection molded thermoplastic preform for blow moulding to form a container, the preform base of a central part having a first, downwardly and radially inwardly tapering portion therebetween which increases in thickness from a radially outer end of the first tapering portion adjacent to the hollow transition portion to a radially inner end of the first tapering portion adjacent to the gate part and the middle part opposite the gate part can allow the injected resin to be urged back through the gate at the end of the injection moulding cycle at a lower fluid pressure in the vicinity of the gate which is associated with high resin temperatures. The technical effect achieved by the first tapering portion is that crystallinity in the gate area is minimized or eliminated, which avoids or minimizes partial blocking of the gate which would otherwise restrict the injected resin from being urged back through the gate at the end of the injection moulding cycle.

The method determines a speed of the first drive piston, establishes a difference between the determined speed of the first drive piston and an expected speed of the first drive piston, and determines a faulty state as a function of the difference established between the determined speed of the first drive piston and the expected speed of the first drive piston.

Abstract: A high-performance electrochemically active sodium molten salt catholyte enables a dramatic reduction in molten sodium battery operating temperature from near 300° C. to less than 120° C. As an example, stable electrochemical cycling was demonstrated in a high voltage (3.65 V) sodium battery comprising a sodium iodide-gallium chloride (NaI—GaCl3) molten salt catholyte for over 8 months at 110° C. The combination of high voltage, stable cycling behavior, and practical current densities supported by a molten catholyte enables a new generation of transformative high performance, low temperature molten sodium batteries.

Abstract: Waste water treatment systems and methods are described that remove screenings, objects, and grit from waste water. The system includes a tank for receiving unfiltered waste water from an inlet and a flow screen installed in the tank to capture screenings that are objects too large to pass through the flow screen. A washing compactor ejects the screenings out of the system. Filtered water containing grit passes through the flow screen and under a velocity-diffusing baffle surrounding the flow screen into the tank to produce a grit slurry. A pump removes the grit slurry from the tank through piping to a dewatering device, and the dewatering device removes water from the grit slurry to produce dewatered grit. Filtered waste water and objects are transmitted out of the tank via an outlet after it flows over an overflow weir installed around an interior surface of a wall of the tank.
