  • Patent number: 9089792
    Abstract: A multi-phase flow separation apparatus has a vessel having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and an enclosure separating the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The enclosure has an open bottom that extends below the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The open bottom of the enclosure has a plurality of distributed points of egress that are below the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The fluid inlet induces an inlet flow vector on an inflow of fluid. Each point of egress defines a flow path, that, when defined as the path of least resistance from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet while traversing the respective point of egress, includes a reversal of the inlet flow vector.

  • Publication number: 20150203936
    Abstract: The invention relates to metallurgy, particularly to acid methods or producing alumina, and can be used in processing low-grade aluminum-containing raw materials. The method for producing alumina comprises treating aluminum-containing raw materials with hydrochloric acid, crystallizing aluminum chloride hexahydrate by means of evaporating the supernatant chloride solution, and thermally decomposing the to form alumina. In order to increase the quality of the alumina and decrease energy consumption, crystallization is carried out with the addition of calcium chloride, wherein the ratio of the total mass of calcium chloride to the calculated mass of alumina in the supernatant solution equals 2-4, in the presence of aluminum chloride hexahydrate seed crystals having an average particle size of 250-500 microns.

Situated at the hinge points of the mast arms are hinge components, which span the respective mast arm transversely and define a bearing axis. At least one of the hinge components has a hinge pin, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the mast arm, projects outwards beyond the mast arm to both sides at the free ends thereof, and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the mast arm. On the ends of the hinge pin that project beyond the mast arm, bearing shells are arranged for the rotary bearing of an adjacent drive or coupling member of the coupling gear mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20150207406
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a voltage regulator implemented as an integrated circuit (IC). The voltage regulator may include a power transistor configured to receive and convert an input voltage from a voltage source to an output voltage, and a feedback loop configured to regulate the output voltage in response to a change from a desired level. The feedback loop may include an error amplifier configured to determine and amplify a value difference between the output voltage and a reference output voltage, a voltage divider configured to generate voltage proportional to the output voltage such that a ratio is the value difference, and a first unity gain buffer configured to increase stability of the IC. In some examples, the feedback loop may include a second unity gain buffer and/or an overshoot suppressor circuit configured to reduce an output voltage fluctuation when a current consumed by the load is changed suddenly.

  • Publication number: 20150204896
    Abstract: A single sensing unit having two electrodes with a common thermal reference is positioned near the centroid of the inertial mass of a differential inductive accelerometer. As the mass is displaced a first sensor detects an increase in inductance while a second sensor detects a decrease in inductance. Significantly, the first and second sensors share a common thermal reference eliminating any thermal differential. As the sensor system is closely aligned with the centroid of the inertial mass the sensor system of the present invention reduces or eliminates any systemic error.

  • Patent number: 9087072
    Abstract: A file cloning mechanism allows for quickly creating copies (clones) of files within a filesystem, such as when a user makes a copy of a file. In exemplary embodiments, a clone of a source object is at least initially represented by a structure containing references to various elements of the source object (e.g., indirect onodes, direct onodes, and data blocks). Both read-only and mutable clones can be created. The source file and the clone initially share such elements and continue to share unmodified elements as changes are made to the source file or mutable clone. None of the user data blocks or the metadata blocks describing the data stream (i.e., the indirect/direct onodes) associated with the source file need to be copied at the time the clone is created. At appropriate times, cloned files may be “de-cloned.

  • Patent number: 9086069
    Abstract: Cooling apparatuses, electronic device assemblies, and cooling assemblies having a magnetic shape memory member are disclosed. In one embodiment, a cooling apparatus includes a first compliant member, a magnetic shape memory member, a magnetic field generating device, a second compliant member and a fan member. A first end of the magnetic shape memory member is coupled to the first compliant member. The magnetic field generating device is positioned proximate the magnetic shape memory member, and generates a magnetic field toward the magnetic shape memory member to cause the magnetic shape memory member to expand along a linear translation axis. Expansion of the magnetic shape memory member causes an actuated portion of the second compliant member to translate about an axis. The fan member is coupled to the actuated portion of the compliant member such that translation of the actuated portion translates the fan member.

  • Patent number: 9086151
    Abstract: A hydrodynamically lubricating geometry for the generally circular dynamic sealing lip of rotary seals that are employed to partition a lubricant from an environment. The dynamic sealing lip is provided for establishing compressed sealing engagement with a relatively rotatable surface, and for wedging a film of lubricating fluid into the interface between the dynamic sealing lip and the relatively rotatable surface in response to relative rotation that may occur in the clockwise or the counter-clockwise direction. A wave form incorporating an elongated dimple provides the gradual convergence, efficient impingement angle, and gradual interfacial contact pressure rise that are conducive to efficient hydrodynamic wedging. Skewed elevated contact pressure zones produced by compression edge effects provide for controlled lubricant movement within the dynamic sealing interface between the seal and the relatively rotatable surface, producing enhanced lubrication and low running torque.
