Abstract:
An air extractor assembly for an automotive vehicle is disclosed which has first and second air extractor valves mounted in a body panel. The first air extractor valve opens when pressure within the passenger compartment at a first pressure differential and the second air extractor valve opens at a second higher pressure differential. The second flap has a weight, which by virtue of gravity, resists opening. The weight can be a magnetic strip that is attracted to a ferrometallic and/or magnetic strip applied around the second aperture. By providing air extractor valves which open at different pressure differences, only the first air extractor valve opens when the pressure difference is in a lower range thereby limiting noise transmission into the passenger compartment. When a car door is shut and/or the climate control system is operating at maximum, the pressure difference is greater causing both extractor valves to open.
Abstract:
Process for polymerising an olefin monomer in at least one continuous tubular loop reactor of a multiple reactor system, optionally together with an olefin comonomer, in the presence of a polymerisation catalyst in a diluent, to produce a slurry containing solid particulate olefin polymer and diluent. The average internal diameter of at least 50% of the total length of the continuous tubular loop reactor is at least 700 mm. A high molecular weight (HMW) polymer is made in a first reactor and a low molecular weight (LMW) polymer is made in a second reactor, the first (HMW) reactor having a space time yield (defined as production of polymer in kg/h per unit volume of reactor) greater than 100 kg/m3/h, and the ratio of space time yield in the first (HMW) reactor to the second (LMW) reactor is greater than 1.

Abstract:
A value of an AC reference waveform is obtained and converted to a d-q reference frame value. A phase estimate is generated responsive to the d-q reference frame value. An AC output of the power supply apparatus is controlled responsive to an output current of the power supply apparatus and the phase estimate. For example, an output current value may be obtained and converted to a d-q reference frame current value responsive to the phase estimate, and the AC output may be controlled responsive to the d-q reference frame current value.
Abstract:
A process comprising polymerising an olefin monomer optionally together with an olefin comonomer in the presence of a polymerisation catalyst in a diluent in a loop reactor which comprises at least 2 horizontal sections and at least 2 vertical sections to produce a slurry comprising solid particulate olefin polymer and the diluent wherein the Froude number in at least 20% of the length of the vertical sections of the reactor loop is less than 85% of the Froude number in at least 20% of the length of the horizontal sections of the loop is disclosed.
Abstract:
Computer systems and methods allow users to annotate content items found in a corpus such as the World Wide Web. Annotations, which can include any descriptive and/or evaluative metadata related to a document, are collected from a user and stored in association with that user. Users are able to annotate and view their annotations for any document they encounter while interacting with the corpus, including hits returned in a search of the corpus. Users are also able to search their annotations or to limit searches to documents they have annotated. Metadata from annotations can also be aggregated across users and aggregated metadata applied in generating search results.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for borrow processing in storage pools. A plurality of physical volumes are allocated to a first storage pool. A determination is made whether the first storage pool has less than a threshold number of empty physical volumes. If the first storage pool has less than the threshold number of empty physical volumes, then at least one empty physical volume is borrowed to the first storage pool from a second storage pool.
