Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a medium voltage or high voltage switchgear includes an evaporator, a fluid conduit, and a condenser. The evaporator is configured to surround at least part of a current carrying contact. The fluid conduit fluidly connects the evaporator to the condenser. A section of the fluid conduit is formed within the evaporator and is electrically insulating and is configured such that fluid can contact an outer surface of the current carrying contact. The cooling apparatus is configured such that in use a working fluid in the evaporator is heated to a vapour state, and the vapour is transferred by the fluid conduit to the condenser. The vapour in the condenser is condensed to the working fluid. The condensed working fluid is passively returned via the fluid conduit to the evaporator.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a bushing including an electrical conductor comprising a terminal at a first end of the bushing. The bushing also includes an electrically insulating condenser core arranged around the conductor and defining a central longitudinal through-hole through which the conductor extends. The bushing also includes a plurality of concentric field-grading layers arranged in the condenser core, comprising an inner field-grading layer and an outer field-grading layer. The bushing also includes an electrically conductive head electrically connected with the conductor passing there through, forming a gas-tight cap of the first end of the bushing outside of the condenser core, sealingly engaging a circumferential lateral outer surface of the condenser core and sealingly engaging the conductor. The bushing also includes an electrically conductive connection between the inner field-grading layer and the head.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a condenser bushing including a condenser core and electrically conductive field-grading layers, which are embedded in insulating material of the condenser core and arranged around a central channel for conductor extending along an axis defining an axial direction, while an electric connection is provided to at least one of the field-grading layers, wherein pairs of neighbouring field-grading layers with the insulation material between them form sections of the condenser core of axial lengths L1 through Ln and with capacitances C1 through Cn, characterized in that a shape of at least one of the field-grading layers deviates from cylindricality in order to reduce non-uniformity of electric field stress of the condenser bushing compared to a corresponding condenser bushing with the cylindrical field-grading layers forming sections of the axial lengths L1 through Ln and with capacitances C1 through Cn.

Abstract: A method of making sand casting moulds with a protective coating for a multiple process of reactive moulding of insulation components and products made by filling up a mould cavity with polymer materials, including composites, based particularly on epoxy resins or composites based on cellulose materials, the method wherein the process of infiltration of the mould structure is performed chemically by soaking through the raw mould structure with chemosetting or thermosetting material. The application of a protective layer on external surfaces of a sand casting mould is done by means of any spraying, immersion or deposition method, whereas material with anti-adhesive properties is used for the protective coating in the form of organic chemosetting, thermosetting, light-curing material or in the form of inorganic material, including metal.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an indication of randomness quality of random number data generated by a random data service. The random data service may provide random number data to one or more applications adapted to generate key pairs used in code signing applications, for example. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of: retrieving random number data from the random data service; applying one or more randomness tests to the retrieved random number data to compute at least one indicator of the randomness quality of the random number data; associating the at least one indicator with at least one state represented by a color; and displaying the color associated with the at least one indicator to a user. The color may be displayed in a traffic light icon, for example.

The reference may be usable to identify the received message.

Abstract: Embodiments of a distributed ad-selection system and method for distributed ad selection are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an applications service provider sends a query to an advertising service provider for ads. The query includes ad-selection criteria and an indication to indicate whether broadening of the criteria is permitted. The ads are received and cached by the application service provider including associated relevancy information. Cached ads are selected by the applications service provider for distribution to mobile devices based on the relevancy information and based on applications operating on the mobile devices that are being serviced by the applications service provider.
