A screw centrifuge for the wet-mechanical separation of a mixture of solids in a carrier liquid to produce sinks and floats, including a rotor which rotates about a horizontal axis, the rotor having a cylindrical wall and two conical walls, and a conveyor screw which is mounted for rotation coaxially inside the rotor, the conveyor screw including a shaft and a pair of helical blades which are pitc...

For cleaning of crankcase gas produced by an internal combustion engine use is made of a centrifugal rotor (2), that is journalled in a frame (1) through two axially separated bearings (12, 13). The centrifugal rotor (2) is caused to rotate by use of part of it also as a rotor (19) of an electrical motor. The electrical motor has a stator (18), which is kept non-rotating and is charged with electr...

A method of determining the extent of detonation of a Well Perforating Gun is disclosed. The Perforating Gun is positioned in a borehole and the detonation is initiated at one point on the essentially curvilinear array of explosive charges. Seismic waves emanate from the series of explosions, propagate away from the Perforating Gun and are detected at a distance away from the Perforating Gun using...

The present invention discloses a bank transaction system linking accounts via common accounts, wherein the existing accounts of the account holder and/or newly opened plural accounts link arbitrarily as defined by the account holder for convenient transactions between account holder's primary account and other's secondary accounts without using account numbers of the concerned accounts. To fulfil...

A nonwoven composite fabric is provided that contains one or more abraded (e.g., sanded) surfaces. In addition to improving the softness and handfeel of the nonwoven composite fabric, it has been unexpectedly discovered that abrading such a fabric may also impart excellent liquid handling properties (e.g., absorbent capacity, absorbent rate, wicking rate, etc.), as well as improved bulk and capill...

A composite fabric is provided that contains staple fibers hydraulically entangled with a nonwoven web formed from continuous filaments. A portion of the staple fibers is entangled with the web, while another portion protrudes through the web. The resulting surface topography has one surface with a preponderance of the smooth, staple fibers, and another surface with a preponderance of the continuo...

Aircraft landing gear comprised of a wheel hub motor/generator disks stack, includes alternating rotor and stator disks mounted with respect to the wheel support and wheel. The invention can provide motive force to the wheel when electrical power is applied, e.g. prior to touch-down, thus decreasing the difference in relative velocities of the tire radial velocity with that of the relative velocit...

An integrated control system includes a main control system controlling a driving system, a main control system controlling a brake system, and a main control system controlling a steering system, an adviser unit generating and providing information to be used at each control system based on environmental information around the vehicle or information related to a driver, an agent unit generating a...

Polymeric foam composites (PFCs) containing a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam can pass both ceiling and wall portions of the United Building Code 26-3 Room Corner Burn Test and can meet requirements for Factory Mutual 4880 approval. Polymeric foam composites of the present invention have a front face with an exposed metal sheet. Polymeric foams in the PFCs contain at least 4 weight-percent h...

A coating composition that is incorporated into a facemask to reduce fogging and glare is provided. For example, in one embodiment, the facemask contains a shield or visor formed from a transparent substrate having at least one surface applied with the coating composition of the present invention. The present inventors have unexpectedly discovered that one or more water-soluble organic polymers, s...

A multi-level system for management of a railway system (50) and its operational components in which the railway system (50) has a first level configured to optimize an operation within the first level that includes first level operational parameters which define operational characteristics and data of the first level, and a second level configured to optimize an operation within the second level ...

The subject of the present invention is to provide a combination of two centrally acting analgesics, flupirtine and tramadol, or their respective pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the treament of pain.

A method for quadrature-bias compensation in a Coriolis gyro whose resonator is in the form of a coupled system comprising a first and a second linear oscillator. The quadrature bias of the Coriolis gyro is determined. An electrostatic field is produced by variation of the mutual alignment of the two oscillators with respect to one another. The alignment/strength of the electrostatic field is regu...

A Coriolis gyro includes a first and a second resonator, each in the form of a coupled system comprising first and second linear oscillators. The first resonator can be caused to oscillate in antiphase with respect to the second resonator along a common oscillation axis. A system coupled in this way has the advantage that it is possible to measure rotation rate and acceleration simultaneously, wit...
