Publication number: 20100005997Abstract: The proposed Amlev Self-Regulating System of High Speed Ground Transportation Based on Permanent Magnets and Steel Cores is designated for magnetic levitation, stabilization, and propulsion of vehicles moving without friction. The proposed system comprises subsystems: a Magneto-Dynamic Levitation and Stabilizing Self-Regulating System (MDLSS), and a Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM). Both systems comprise permanent magnets and steel cores. MDLSS provides levitation and stabilization of vehicle while PMLSM produces propulsion force providing the assigned alternative velocity of the vehicle along the stator winding powered by the current of constant frequency 50 Hz. Each of the subsystems comprises two main parts: a fixed part—guideway/stator including extended steel cores for MDLSS and windings for PMLSM, and moving part—permanent magnets of the levitator for MDLSS and the rotor for PMLSM—both affixed to the moving vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2008Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventor: Oleg Valentinovich Tozoni

Publication number: 20100005999Abstract: A rail car door closer is shown for hopper type rail cars used to carry bulk commodities or materials. Cylinders provide horizontal motion to rotate an axle on which cam closers are attached thereto. The cam closers operate between a relaxed position (down position) and a raised position (up position). During rotation of the cam closers from the relaxed position to the raised position, the cam closers push hopper doors under the rail car up to a latched position. Individual hopper doors can be closed, or multiple doors can be simultaneously closed, depending on the preference of the operator. The cylinders are protected from falling bulk commodities by an elongated tent frame structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2009Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: Gates Management, Ltd.Inventors: Carl A.

Publication number: 20100006000Abstract: A railroad freight car may have a body for carrying lading. The body may be a gondola car body. The car body may include a decking or floor structure, and may include longitudinally extending side beams bordering the floor structure. The connection of the side beams to the floor structure may be may without the use of a dedicated side sill. The car body structure may include cross-bearers and side beam stiffeners that are joined together by structural knees. The car body may also include clean out ports to facilitate cleaning of the lading receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: January 14, 2010Applicant: NATIONAL STEEL CAR LIMITEDInventors: James W.

Publication number: 20100006001Abstract: A composition comprising a glass-forming binder component and a particulate corrosion resistant component. The particulate corrosion resistant component comprises corrosion resistant particulates having: a CTEp of at least about 4 and being solid at a temperature of about 1300° F. (704° C.) or greater; and a maximum median particle size defined by one of the following formulas: (a) for a CTEp of 8 or less, an MP equal to or less than (4.375×CTEp)?10; and (b) for a CTEp of greater than 8, an Mp equal to or less than (?4.375 ×CTEp)+60, wherein CTEp is the average CTE of the corrosion resistant particulates and wherein Mp is the median equivalent spherical diameter (ESD), in microns, of the corrosion resistant particulates. Also disclosed is an article comprising a turbine component comprising a metal substrate and a corrosion resistant coating overlaying the metal substrate, as well as a method for forming at least one layer of the corrosion resistant coating adjacent to the metal substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2009Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Brian Thomas Hazel, Michael James Weimer

Publication number: 20100006002Abstract: A silver fine powder comprising silver particles with an average particle diameter of 20 nm or less and having an organic protective material on the surface thereof, wherein the proportion of the organic protective material present is 0.05 to 25% by mass based on the total mass of the silver particles and the organic protective material. An amine compound having a molecular weight of 100 to 1,000 is preferably used as the organic protective material, and that having one or more unsaturated bond in one molecule is particularly preferred. This silver fine powder has, for example, a crystallite diameter in (111) crystal plane of silver particle of 20 nm or less. The present invention further provides an ink comprising particles of the silver fine powder dispersed in an organic solvent in the silver concentration of 10% by mass or more, the ink having a viscosity of 50 mPa·s or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2008Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Kimitaka Sato, Taku Okano

Publication number: 20100006003Abstract: The invention relates to a coating, adhesive, and impregnating substance (“Punic Milk”), particularly as a construction and restoration material, comprising a so-called “Punic Wax,” having at least beeswax, potash (K2CO3), and water (H2O), and optionally honey/sugar, and optionally borax casein, wherein the coating, adhesive, and impregnating substance further comprises sodium silicate (Na2SiO2). This results in the advantage that the known “Punic Wax” is provided with relatively high adhesion properties by the addition of sodium silicate (Na2SiO2) and in addition becomes fire-resistant to non-flammable, which can be further amplified by means of the optional addition of honey/sugar and borax casein.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2007Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Adalbert Zinck, Peter Riebling, Zoltan Boldizsar
