The gas entrainer is a rotodynamic machine for trapping and dispersing bubbles of air into a pool of water. A flat circular disc is mounted for rotation close to and concentric with one end of an open cylindrical tube of equal diameter to form an annular nozzle therebetween. Upon the disc and tube end being immersed in water, the spinning disc draws air down the tube and out through the nozzle to ...

The present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a curved hos e. The method is comprised of the steps of (a) forming a hose assembly, the hos e assembly comprising: (i) an innermost layer of a halogenated polyolefin rubber; (ii) a polyester reinforcement overlaying the innermost layer, the reinforcement having disposed on its surface an RFL adhesive comprising a chlorosulfonated pol...

The invention relates to a method for the production of a crystal material with formula LIMPO4, where "M" is a transition metal, the method providing the steps of grinding and mixing at the solid state an organic phosphonate of a transition metal with a lithium salt and causing them to react together by pyrolysis at the solid state and high temperature by one or more heating cycles. It is thus obt...

A method is described for the identification of a party authorised to have the benefit of a service delivered by a provider party via a telematics network, in which the provider party and each user party are connected to the network by means of a respective electronic communications and processing system (S, C), and the provider party requests a temporary password (PWD) identifying the user party ...

In order to facilitate access to and descent from a vehicle, such as a motor vehicle, a retractable step (10) is provided which can be moved, by virtue of a driving mechanism with rotatable levers (15, 16, 23), controlled by an actuator device (14) such as an electric geared motor (25), between a retracted position, in which the step (10) is arranged in a substantially vertical position beneath a ...

A new type of tile or covering element for a roof or wall is proposed. This new type of tile or covering is different from the conventional covering for it shows such a shape and size that it may cover the whole length of a roof or wall from the ridge of the roof to the border of the gutter as a one-piece element.
