  • Patent number: 8181334
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing windings for a dry-type transformer with in each case one winding for the low voltage (LV winding) and one for the high voltage (HV winding). The LV and HV windings are each electrically insulated from one another and have layers which are electrically insulated from one another by virtue of, initially, the winding for the low voltage being produced from electrically conductive wire or tape material and an insulating layer including resin-impregnated fibre material. Prior to the application of the HV winding, the maximum insulating thickness for the layer insulation and the number of fiber rovings corresponding to this insulating thickness can be determined, and each winding layer and the associated insulating layer can be produced simultaneously with a physical offset with respect to one another.

  • Patent number: 7056960
    Abstract: An ink is disclosed for producing an ink jet print receptive surface on coated or coated polymer substrates such as CD-R substrates. The ink comprises a solid water soluble salt of acrylamidoalkanesulfonic acid, one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers or oligomers capable of being photopolymerized by ultra-violet radiation, one or more functional extender pigments, and one or more photoinitiators. A modified silicone may be added to the ink to control the spread of the ink-jet print and the print definition. The inks are hardened by exposure to ultra-violet light. The ink may be over-printed with thermal drop-on-demand ink-jet printers.

  • Patent number: 4086160
    Abstract: A solids-liquid mixture, such as waste water, containing biologically degradable material is treated in a circulatory system having alternating upward and downward flow kept in motion by injection of gas such as air. Mixture is diverted from the system into a separating chamber in which solids-enriched mixture is separated by flotation and/or sedimentation. A solids-rich mixture, preferably recycled from the separation chamber, is fed into the system hydrostatically and thereby the concentration of such solids in the system is maintained and/or such solids are transferred from one location to another without mechanical pumping.

  • Patent number: 4048017
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for continuous fermentation wherein a limiting nutrient such as a carbon source is supplied to a culture at sufficient positions and at suitable rates to ensure that another nutrient such as oxygen does not effectively become the limiting nutrient. The invention is particularly applicable to the cultivation of bacteria such as Pseudomonas methylotropha upon methanol where it is undesirable that oxygen should become the limiting nutrient in any part of the culture.
