摘要:
A system for controlling an aerodynamic shutter of a vehicle includes an ambient temperature estimation module that determines an ambient temperature. A shutter control module that determines whether to actuate the shutter based on the ambient temperature. The shutter control module also determines a predetermined period before selectively applying a predetermined torque value to the shutter. The predetermined period is selected based on the ambient temperature.

摘要:
Infrared illuminant compositions are disclosed which produce significant quantities of infrared radiation when burned but which produce very little visible light. The infrared illuminant compositions provide specific illumination in the spectral range visible with night vision devices. The disclosed infrared illuminant compositions include ammonium nitrate as the main oxidizer, an infrared generator such as cesium nitrate, rubidium nitrate, or mixtures thereof, and a fuel. By eliminating potassium and its direct and indirect visible light contributions, from the illuminant compositions, improved concealment indexes are obtained. Other additives, including conventional binders and burn rate modifiers may be used as to tailor the performance and physical characteristics of the infrared illuminant composition.

A process forms decoy flare pellets which satisfy predetermined burn requirements without milling additional grooves into the pellet flare material after that material is consolidated. The process includes providing sufficient surface area to the flare material during consolidation to eliminate the need for milling. Consolidated flare pellets are then coated with an ignition composition and installed in a decoy flare housing.

An emission-electron microscope comprises an evacuated chamber with a superconducting magnet at one end generating a region of very high field strength. In this region a specimen is mounted and the surface of the specimen is irradiated with photons, typically x-ray or hard ultra-violet, from a source. As a result the specimen emits photo-electrons. The magnetic field is axially symmetrical along the length of the chamber and emitted electrons spiral about the lines of force traveling down the chamber into a region of lower magnetic field controlled by electro-magnet coils. Transverse kinetic energy of the electrons is converted into energy along the lines of force of the magnetic field and the divergence of the magnetic field lines causes electrons to produce on a detector an expanded electron image indicative of the distribution of electron flux across the surface region of the specimen. The emission-electrons may be produced by other stimulation methods, for example neutral atoms or heat (thermal electrons) and arrangements may be provided to permit only electrons of predetermined energy reaching the detector.

A rack support assembly for an ATV for a rack and shock assembly that is removably attachable to a hitch and rack posts of an all terrain vehicle. The assembly comprises an upper bar and a lower bar. A pair of shock absorbers is coupled to and extends between the upper and lower bars so that the upper and lower bars are orientated parallel to each other. A coupler removably attaches the lower bar to the hitch so that the lower bar is horizontally orientated. Each of a pair of supports is attached to the upper bar. The supports are each removably attachable to one of the rack posts.
摘要:
A process for reproducibly forming a thermally and oxidatively stable high hydroxyl glycerol di-ester compound which is particularly useful as a lubricant. The glycerol di-ester compound is formed by reacting a glycidyl ester with an excess of a neo acid salt. The di-ester product is produced in a nearly quantitative conversion and is readily recoverable from the reaction mixture via a water wash, vacuum dry, and a mild wiped film evaporator treatment.

A collapsible forming system for hardenable material is provided which includes at least one form unit having a pair of wall panels adjustable between operative and inoperative modes. The wall panels, when in either mode, are interconnected by a grid assembly. When the wall panels are in an operative mode, they are disposed in an upright spaced relation, and when in an inoperative mode, the wall panels are disposed in a proximate face to face relation. The grid assembly includes a first section which is disposed intermediate the panels and spans the distance therebetween when the panels are in an operative mode. The grid assembly also includes a pair of second sections which are disposed adjacent exterior surfaces of said wall panels when the latter are in either mode. Each second section has a first segment engaging the adjacent wall panel exterior surface and second segments projecting laterally from the first segment and extending into corresponding holes formed in the adjacent wall panel and having portions thereof protruding from the wall panel interior surface. The protruding portions are interlockingly engaged by portions of the grid assembly first section. The interlocking portions form pivotal connections having one upright axis adjacent the interior surface of one wall panel and a second upright axis adjacent the interior surface of the second wall panel of the pair.

In a process for oligomerizing a C2 to C6 n-olefin feedstock over surface deactivated ZSM-23, the feedstock contains from about 0.1 wt % to about 25 wt % of an iso-olefin and the C12+ fraction of the oligomerized olefin product contains less than 0.5 atom % of quaternary carbon atoms.
