An electronically controlled sample warper having a yarn exchange mechanism is provided which is capable of extremely reducing yarn looseness possibly occurring during yarn exchange as compared with conventional methods, preventing large variations in yarn tension produced when a yarn is removed to improve the quality of warping and significantly improve the speed of yarn exchange, unlike conventi...

In an air separation plant integrated with another process, work is recovered from a nitrogen-enriched stream produced by an air separation process either by expanding the nitrogen-enriched stream directly in a turbine or by combustion of the nitrogen-enriched stream with a fuel stream and expanding gas produced by the combustion. The work produced by the expansion is maximized by mixing the nitro...
