Abstract: A tank for a railway tank car includes an outer tank, a nozzle, a fittings plate, and a set of pipes. The nozzle protrudes through the outer tank such that an outer edge of the nozzle extends past an exterior surface of the outer tank. An intersection between the nozzle and the outer tank defines an opening in the outer tank. The fittings plate is welded to the nozzle around the outer edge of the nozzle. The set of pipes pass through the fittings plate and into the outer tank through the nozzle. The set of pipes includes pipes to load and/or unload fluid from the tank.

Abstract: A cryogenic railway tank car includes an outer tank, an inner tank positioned within the outer tank, an internal nozzle, and a pipe. The inner tank includes a shell that defines an opening. The internal nozzle is coupled to the inner tank at least along a perimeter of the opening and extends in a radial direction through the opening and into the inner tank. A space defined by an interior surface of the outer tank, an exterior surface of the inner tank, and an interior surface of the nozzle is configured to hold a vacuum. The pipe is configured to transport the fluid between an exterior of the outer tank and the interior of the inner tank. At least a portion of the pipe extends from the outer tank to the inner tank through at least a portion of the nozzle.

Abstract: A cryogenic tank car tank includes an outer tank, an inner tank positioned within the outer tank, an inner nozzle, and inner manway plate, an outer nozzle, and an outer manway plate. The inner nozzle defines an opening in the inner tank. The inner manway plate is welded to the inner nozzle and covers the opening in the inner tank. The outer nozzle defines an opening in the outer tank and is positioned above the inner nozzle, such that the inner manway plate is accessible through the outer nozzle. The outer manway plate couples to an upper edge of the outer nozzle to cover the opening in the outer tank. In response to applying the vacuum to the annular space between the inner and outer tanks, a differential pressure between the annular space and a space external to the outer tank secures the outer manway plate to the outer nozzle.

Abstract: A vacuum conduit pipe adapter includes a hollow body extending from a first end to a second end, a vacuum conduit connector positioned at the second end of the hollow body and operable to connect the vacuum conduit pipe adapter to a vacuum system, and a pipe connector positioned at the first end of the hollow body. The pipe connector includes a plurality of cylindrical fitments, where each fitment is formed circumferentially about a respective central axis and includes an inner surface having an inner diameter sized to receive a pipe having a different diameter than the other fitments. The central axis of each fitment is radially offset from the central axis of each other fitment.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise; annealing steel sheets (e.g., hot rolled steel sheets or thin cast strip steel); cold rolling the sheets in one or more cold rolling steps (e.g., with annealing steps between multiple cold rolling steps); and performing one or more of tension leveling, a rough rolling, or a coating process on the sheets after cold rolling, without an intermediate annealing step between the final cold rolling step and the tension leveling, the rough rolling, or the coating process, or the customer stamping or final customer annealing. In order to achieve the desired properties for the steel sheet, stamping and final annealing is performed by the customer. The new process provides an electrical steel with the similar, same, or better magnetic properties than an electrical steel manufactured using the traditional processing that utilizes an intermediate annealing step after cold rolling and before the stamping and final annealing.

Abstract: A shield (3) is mounted in the driver's side window frame (7) of a vehicle by a lower support (5) containing a flat spring (49) which releasably pushes the shield against the upper window frame. A stand-off (17, 18) at the upper end of the shield spaces other portions the upper edge of the shield from the window frame. A shield handgrip (9) is angled 45° with respect to a lower edge of the shield, to permit the shield to be carried with one apex of the shield up.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to ophthalmic laser procedures and, more particularly, to systems and methods for lenticular laser incisions to form a top lenticular incision, a bottom lenticular incision of a lens in the subject's eye, an added shape between the top and bottom incisions where the added shape has no corrective power and a transition ring bisecting both the top and bottom lenticular incisions.

Abstract: An IBC storage box assembly is elevated from a railcar. A vertical beam is used to elevate the storage box off the railcar so that the storage box is more easily accessed from a rail platform. Additionally, the vertical beam may provide some clearance for the storage box so that the storage box is not impacted by the railcar coupler during transport.

Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical laser system includes: a laser that produces a pulsed laser beam having a pulse energy and pulse repetition rate; a high frequency fast scanner; an XY-scan device; a Z-scan device; and a controller. The controller controls the high frequency scanner to produce a scan line having a scan width; controls the XY-scan device and the Z-scan device to carry out of first sweep of the scan line in a first sweep direction and to carry out a second sweep of the scan line in a second sweep direction that is not parallel to the first sweep direction thereby defining an overlap region. At least one of the pulse energy, repetition rate, XY-scan speed, and the scan width is varied so as to accelerate the cutting speed and reduce the exposure of ophthalmic tissue in the overlap region to multiple exposures of laser pulses configured to modify ophthalmic tissue.
