A lubricating composition contains a base oil and an organomolybdenum compound and has a sodium content of not greater than 200 ppm. The limited content of a sodium metal allows the organomolybdenum compound to fully exhibit its peculiar physical performance in that composition. Sufficient friction reduction can be achieved when the lubricating composition is applied as a lubricant composition. Ex...

A process for large diameter single crystal silicon rod prodn. involves producing a domed molten silicon top on a seed crystal by means of an annular induction heating coil and lowering the seed crystal at a certain pulling speed so that silicon, originating from the domed top solidifies to a single crystal on the seed crystal. Solid silicon is melted in a melting station and supplied in liq. form...

A multilayered lens for a lamp, e.g., an automotive lamp. The lens includes a transparent, unitary, polymeric lens blank having an inner surface and an outer surface; a thin, translucent, color layer disposed on, conforming to, and bonded to the inner or outer lens blank surface; and a thin, transparent, protective coating disposed on and overlying the color layer. The color layer includes a therm...

A water rod for a fuel assembly of a boiling water nuclear reactor has a first end and a second end, wherein at least one of the first and second ends is directly attachable to a tie plate of the fuel assembly without an end plug. The structure of the present invention simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the cost of the fuel assembly in the boiling water nuclear reactor. The water rod...

The invention relates to a method and connection suited for using biomass, solid waste or other solid fuel as a secondary fuel for an oil- or gas-fired gas turbine. Such solid fuel may have an extremely high moisture content or be mixed with water into a slurry whose heating value may even be negative. According to the invention, the solid secondary fuel is gasified in a separate gasification unit...
