Abstract: The two stage production of clear, low-haze, injection stretch blow molded polypropylene container articles is disclosed. In the first processing stage, a preform article is manufactured on an injection molding machine. In a second and subsequent step, which may occur remotely from apparatus used in the first step, the preform article is heated and stretch blown into a container. The process may employ the selection of processing parameters to produce preform articles that facilitate stretch blow molding at relatively high rates of speed, while still maintaining an appropriate polypropylene polymer morphology that results in clear, low haze containers.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring engine starting system performance in a gas turbine engine using a plurality of sensors to sense data related to the operation and performance of the gas turbine engine. Selected data parameters from the sensed data are continuously sampled during an engine start sequence. The data parameters are then evaluated to determine whether predetermined sets of criteria have been met. Selected engine starting system performance data and data sampling times are captured when each of the sets of criteria are met. The captured engine starting system performance data are normalized and then compared to a parametric baseline for the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A cascade speed control for tensionless production in a rolling mill by the measurement of stand motor current with temperature compensation. A low tension speed ratio between pairs of mill stands is calculated by successive incremental corrections. The corrections are based on the difference between a no tension current and a tension current for the motors of the mill stands as compensated for temperature variation. In one embodiment a compensation factor is calculated by taking the temperature difference of the material at the times the currents are measured and multiplying the difference by an empirical constant which relates the change in motor current to a change in temperature for a particular plant. Another embodiment illustrates temperature compensation by using current compensation values which are obtained by storing a no tension current profile for one of the mill stands.
