Spray combination of two liquids is advantageously accomplished by applying a high potential of one polarity to a first liquid thereby converting the first liquid into finely divided ionized particles, spraying a second liquid through a porous member and applying thereto a high potential of the other polarity thereby converting the second liquid into finely divided ionized particles, and combining...

A method of detecting defects present at the surface and/or internally in transparent materials, particularly of detecting included foreign bodies or bubbles in glass, is disclosed. The test material is scanned with an electromagnetic radiation of a single wavelength which is set to the penetration depth in the test material. The intensity reflected by the defects is picked up and analyzed. By thi...

The invention relates to an apparatus enabling assessment in real time of the effectiveness of a treatment of a hydrocarbon well which is being applied by introducing fluids under pressure into an injection line. The apparatus comprises a computing unit provided with connections for connection to pressure and flow pickups mounted on the injection line at the surface, and connected to a data acquis...

A free flowing stream of molten metal is motioned to encounter a higher diameter and faster moving free flowing stream of a cooling liquid, such encounter resulting in the splitting of the molten metal into droplets. The droplets in contact with the cooling liquid and entrained therewith are allowed to solidify by cooling; optionally they may undergo further splitting before complete solidificatio...
