摘要: A method and apparatus utilizing a pair of ultrasonic transducers simultaneously transmitting and receiving to measure the mean time of flight of an ultrasonic signal over a given distance, and thereby the speed of sound of a fluid in a conduit at a given temperature, independent of flow rate, and the flow rate of the fluid. A signal source simultaneously drives an upstream transducer and a downstream transducer, each of which receive the signal transmitted by the other. The difference between the upstream and downstream signals takes into account the speed of sound of the fluid. The time of flight for the upstream and downstream signals can then be used to calculate the flow rate. A phase locked loop coupled to the signal source automatically adjusts for variations of the speed of sound in the fluid in response to temperature changes.

摘要: A method and apparatus utilizing a pair of ultrasonic transducers simultaneously transmitting and receiving to measure the mean time of flight of an ultrasonic signal over a given distance, and thereby the speed of sound of a fluid in a conduit at a given temperature, independent of flow rate, and the flow rate of the fluid. A signal source simultaneously drives an upstream transducer and a downstream transducer, each of which receive the signal transmitted by the other. The difference between the upstream and downstream signals is substantially invariant with rate of flow of the fluid, and measurement of parameters of this signal takes into account the speed of sound of the fluid. The time of flight for the upstream and downstream signals can then be used to calculate the flow rate. A phase locked loop providing feedback from the received signals to the signal source is utilized to maintain a predetermined number of cycles of the difference signal between the transducers, thereby automatically adjusting for variations of the speed of sound in the fluid in response to temperature changes.

摘要: Specific genetic deletion are identified in mycobacteria isolates, including variations in the M. tuberculosis genome sequence between isolates, and numerous deletion present in BCG as compared to M. tb. These deletions are used as markers to distinguish between pathogenic and avirulent strains, and as a marker for particular M. tb isolates. Deletions specific to vaccine strains of BCG are useful in determining whether a positive tuberculin skin test is indicative of actual tuberculosis infection. The deleted sequences may be re-introduced into BCG to improve the efficacy of vaccination. Alternatively, the genetic sequence that corresponds to the deletion(s) are deleted from M. bovis or M. tuberculosis to attenuate the pathogenic bacteria.

摘要: A recumbent bicycle with (i) a cantilevered bicycle seat and (ii) a coaxial pivot and mid-drive sprocket around which the bicycle can be folded so as to form a more compact configuration. The folding of the bicycle is facilitated by the splaying of support arms for the coaxial pivot and mid-drive sprocket, which splaying allows the rear portion of the bicycle to be folded into a position lying between the splayed support arms.

摘要: An efficiency enhanced turbine engine and method are disclosed for a turbine engine having a rotor and a fluid flow path that extends through compression, combustion, and expansion or turbine stages with fluid flowing through the fluid flow path driving the rotor. The turbine engine has one or more stator-rotor-stator assemblies, and use of a flat rotor disk with turbine blades provides simplicity in fabrication and operation. Increases in pressure during combustion above the pressure at the compression stage are prevented from flowing back to the compression stage and/or capturing of fluid during combustion enables elevation of the temperature and pressure while maintaining the fluid at near constant volume during combustion, both of which enhance the efficiency of the turbine engine. Fluid flow is preferably in a circumferential direction and the fluid is caused to reenter the rotor a plurality of times to provide cyclic exposure of the moving parts of the turbine engine to different portions of the engine cycle for reducing the average temperature of the moving parts and thereby allow higher compression ratios and combustion temperatures to also yield higher efficiency.
摘要翻译: 公开了一种用于具有转子和流体流动路径的涡轮发动机的效率增强的涡轮发动机和方法,所述转子和流体流动路径通过压缩,燃烧和膨胀或涡轮级延伸,流体流过驱动转子的流体流动路径。 涡轮发动机具有一个或多个定子 - 转子 - 定子组件,并且使用具有涡轮叶片的平面转子盘提供制造和操作的简单性。 在燃烧过程中,在压缩阶段的压力以上的压力下降的压力被阻止回流到压缩阶段和/或在燃烧过程中流体捕获和/或在燃烧期间保持流体处于接近恒定体积的情况下升高温度和压力, 提高涡轮发动机的效率。 流体流动优选地在圆周方向上,并且使流体多次重新进入转子,以使涡轮发动机的运动部分循环暴露于发动机循环的不同部分,以减少运动部件的平均温度, 从而允许更高的压缩比和燃烧温度也产生更高的效率。

摘要: An air conveyor is provided with a plenum chamber with a perforated deck plate, side walls, and a holddown with holes of an area density sufficiently low to pressurize an enclosed article transport zone. On curved portions of the air conveyor the holddown holes have an area density gradient which increases from an outer toward an inner side of the curve. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for accumulating articles without undue damage and for moving articles away from the outer side of the curve.
