Abstract:
A single stage power conditioner which produces an isolated DC output while drawing resistive input current from the utility has been described. A high frequency switch-mode technique was used which operates in continuous conduction mode to reduce electro-magnetic interference (EMI) generation and ripple losses.
Abstract:
A cleaning solution comprising a water-alcohol mixture, an anionic surfactant, a glycol ether, an anionic polysulfonic acid and an anhydride compound comprising an olefin-maleic anhydride copolymer, a monomeric cyclic anhydride or mixtures thereof, is disclosed which is employed to impregnate absorbent substrates to prepare applicators useful for cleaning glass surfaces.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methodology for the ultralow temperature processing of metallic, carbide, ceramic and plastic parts and items to materially increase their wear, abrasion, erosion and corrosion resistivity, stabilize their strength characteristics, improve their machinability and provide stress relief. The cryogenic treatment processing is carried out in an insulated box-like treatment chamber which includes a perforated platform extending parallel to and spaced above the bottom of the chamber. Parts and items to be treated are supported on the platform and cryogenic liquid is introduced to the chamber below the platform in accordance with a time-temperature program which reduces the temperature of the parts and items in stages to -320.degree. F. by initial cooling of the parts and items by evaporating vapors from the cryogenic liquid pool in the space below the platform and thereafter by partial or substantial submersion of the parts and items in the cryogenic liquid. After a soak period at the -320.degree. F. temperature level, the temperature of the parts and items in the treatment chamber is raised to ambient by controlled evaporation of the cryogenic liquid therein. Temperature and liquid level monitoring devices are mounted in the treatment chamber and information derived therefrom is utilized by a process controller to direct the supply of cryogenic liquid to the treatment chamber in accordance with the desired temperature descent and ascent profiles for the weight of the parts within the chamber.
Abstract:
Cosmetic applicators effective to simultaneously moisturize and absorb water from wet skin are provided which comprise a porous substrate impregnated with a water-free composition comprising a hydrophillic emolient oil and a hydrophobic emollient oil.
Abstract:
The method comprises basically (1) fixedly securing, as by welding, an air inlet header between an air ring at a predetermined location point and the bottom of the regenerator for a primary support, (2) connecting other elongated supports under the air ring as secondary supports, (3) pivotally mounting slip rings on parallel pivot pins on opposite ends of each of the secondary supports and inserting them into corresponding pairs of sleeves mounted oppositely on the air ring and regenerator, (4) aligning each support so that its corresponding pivot pin is normal to a line between each pin and the predetermined location point, and (5) welding the slip rings in their respective sleeves with the supports so aligned to provide pivotal movement about the slip ring pins for eliminating any bending stresses due to thermal expansion or contraction when operating in the 1,100.degree. F.-1,400.degree. F. heat range of a regenerator in a fluid catalytic cracking unit. A support assembly assembled by the above or similar method is disclosed.
Abstract:
A cross over tool includes, a first tubular forming part of a structure having a channel formed radially through a wall thereof and having a passageway formed longitudinally through the wall. The tool includes a second tubular forming part of a tool string, the second tubular is positionable radially of the first tubular, and has a port through a wall thereof, the port is alignable with the channel. The crossover tool is configured such that while the a port is aligned with the a channel fluid can flow through an inside of the tool string radially through the a port and the a channel and back into the inside of the tool string and through the a passageway and through an annular space defined between the tool string and the structure.
Abstract:
A selective locking apparatus for an indicating tool, the selective locking apparatus includes a mandrel having a rotational collet finger receiving area including a plurality of unlocked-position tracks alternatingly arranged with a plurality of locked-position detents. A rotational collet rotatably supported on the mandrel, the rotational collet including a j-track on an outer periphery of the rotational collet, the rotational collet further including a plurality of rotational collet fingers having heads engageable within the rotational collet finger receiving area of the mandrel. An indicating collet supported on the mandrel, the indicating collet including a plurality of indicating collet fingers; and, at least one pin fixedly mounted on the indicating collet for receipt within the j-track of the rotational collet; wherein longitudinal movement of the mandrel with respect to the indicating collet cycles the rotational collet via j-track interaction and selectively places the heads of the rotational collet fingers into either the plurality of unlocked-position tracks or the plurality of locked-position detents. A method of selectively locking an indicating tool.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting defects on a wafer are provided. One method includes generating output for a wafer by scanning the wafer with an inspection system using first and second optical states of the inspection system. The first and second optical states are defined by different values for at least one optical parameter of the inspection system. The method also includes generating first image data for the wafer using the output generated using the first optical state and second image data for the wafer using the output generated using the second optical state. In addition, the method includes combining the first image data and the second image data corresponding to substantially the same locations on the wafer thereby creating additional image data for the wafer. The method further includes detecting defects on the wafer using the additional image data.
