Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment includes a gas storage tank comprising a structural outer layer, an internal liner layer, an annular boss, and a liquid sealant disposed between the overlapped section of the liner layer and the boss to provide a gas-tight seal.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel is disclosed, the pressure vessel having an outer shell, an inner shell, and a temperature regulating device, the temperature regulating device adapted to regulate the temperature of a fluid stored in the inner shell during operation of the pressure vessel and to minimize curing time during manufacture of the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A vessel and method for forming the vessel is disclosed, the vessel having an injection blow molded hollow liner, wherein the hollow liner includes reinforced interfacial features formed substantially around a portion of at least one vessel penetration element.
Abstract:
A seal for a vessel is disclosed which militates against a leakage of fluid during expansion and contraction of the vessel due to changes pressure and temperature. Inner sealing surfaces of the seal form substantially fluid-tight seals in response to at least one of temperatures below a predetermined temperature and pressures below a predetermined pressure and outer sealing surfaces of the seal form substantially fluid-tight seals in response to at least one of temperatures above the predetermined temperature and pressures above the predetermined pressure.
Abstract:
A test device for checking the validity of display signals pertaining to a predefined image includes a device for ascertaining image data from the display signals, device for determining a test value of the image data, and a comparator unit for comparing the ascertained test value with a stored test value pertaining to the image, a validity of the display signals being established in the case where the two test values coincide.
Abstract:
A vessel for holding a pressurized fluid is disclosed, the vessel having a hollow inner shell formed from a moldable material and forming a cavity therein, an intermediate shell formed over the inner vessel, and an outer shell formed over said intermediate shell, said outer shell having a ceramic layer formed on an outer surface thereof.
Abstract:
A device for outputting different images on at least two display units is described, including a control unit for reading image data of the different images from an image memory, for producing a horizontal synchronization signal and for outputting the image data and the horizontal synchronization signal. The device also includes a processing unit for receiving the image data and the horizontal synchronization signal, for producing additional synchronization signals respectively for one of the at least two display units as a function of the synchronization signal provided by the control unit and a clock signal, and for dividing the image data transmitted by the control unit in such a way that the image data of the different images are output to one of the display units.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel for storage of a pressurized fluid is provided. The pressure vessel includes a composite layer having an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines an internal cavity. The pressure vessel further includes at least one pressure relief device in fluid communication with the internal cavity. At least one thermally conductive element is continuously wound on the outer surface of the composite layer and adapted to carry load and transport heat from a heat source adjacent the composite layer to the at least one pressure relief device. A method for producing the pressure vessel is also provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vessel including an outer shell and an inner shell, the inner shell having spaced apart indentations formed therein to facilitate a thermal expansion and contraction of the inner shell to militate against failure thereof.
Abstract:
A heat pipe is disclosed, the heat pipe capable of transferring heat to actuate a pressure relief device by heat transfer through either capillary action involving a wicking material and a working fluid, or by a fuse in the case of leakage of the working fluid from the heat pipe.
