Back tailing

Bucket Elevators. In a bucket elevator, a series of buckets attached to an endless belt or chain are filled with material and lifted vertically to a head pulley or sprocket, where the material is dumped. The buckets are then returned back down to a tail pulley or sprocket at the bottom. Bucket elevators are not self-feeding. They must be fed at a controlled rate to avoid overfilling the buckets and damagiag the machinery. In the usual arrangement of a bucket elevator, the chain or belt path is vertical or steeply inclined ia a single plane. Special chain supported bucket systems that can travel ia two and three planes have been developed. 

Take-Up and Hold-Back. An elevator chain wears and elongates, and a belt stretches during service life. A chain also elongates when handling hot materials. Therefore, a take-up adjustment is needed to maintain tension between the head and foot shafts. A manually adjusted screw take-up that moves the tail shaft or head shaft or a self-adjusting weighted take-up that maintains a constant gravity force on the tail shaft may be used. 

Employing the proposed model, the behavior of the experimental signals of Cu, Ag, and Zn at different temperatures was described. The model explains increased tailing of the back edge of Cu profiles. 

The relief valve must be installed so that gases are routed to a sale location. In small facilities and remote locations this is accomplished with a simple tail pipe, which points the discharge vertically upvsard anlower flammable limit in approximately 120 pipe diameters. Liquids may fall back on the equipment. 

A spearhead or breakdown fluid followed by the cement slurry is circulated downhole with the packer by-pass open. This is done to avoid the squeezing of damaging fluids ahead of the slurry. A small amount of back pressure must be applied on the annulus to prevent the slurry fall caused by U tubing. If no tail pipe has been run, the packer by-pass must be closed 2 or 3 bbl before the slurry reaches the packer. If the cement is to be spotted in front of the perforations, with the packer unset, circulation is stopped as soon as the cement covers the desired zone, the tail pipe pulled out of the cement slurry and the packer set at the desired depth. The depth at which the packer is set must be carefully decided. 

Let s compare these plots of the REV s to the plot in Figure 52. Notice that these REV s do not exhibit ideal behavior. Ideally, as rank increases, the REV s would drop to some minimum value and then remain at that level. These REV s begin to tail back up. This sort of non-ideal behavior is not uncommon when working with actual data. Unfortunately, it can complicate matters when we use the 2-way F-test to see which REV s represent basis vectors and which ones represent noise vectors. 

Looks like an alien, said the bartender who served it, wiggling his fingers like antennae on either side of Iris lanky hair. Are you a fan of Wylie s Mr. Dufresne, mutton-chopped and pony-tailed, was visible in the kitchen at the back, corralled like a quarterback by cooks, directing his food into the dining room. 

It has been proposed that the a-tocopheroxyl radical can be recycled back to tocopherol by ascorbate producing the ascorbyl radical (Packer etal., 1979 Scarpa et al., 1984). The location of a-tocopherol, with its phytyl tail in the membrane parallel to the fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids and its phenolic hydroxyl group at the memisrane-water interface near the polar headgroups of the phospholipid bilayer, enables ascorbate to donate hydrogen atoms to the tocopheroxyl radical. The suitability for ascorbate and tocopherol as chain-breaking antioxidants is exemplified (Buettner,... 

The strain in electric field-associated bending of a PVA-PAA gel is given by the equation g = 6DY/L2 (see Eq. 21). The strain depends on the electric power applied to the gel. Thus, the deflection increases as the thickness becomes small even if the electric power remains constant. The PVA-PAA gel rod of 1 mm diameter bends semicircularly within 1 s under both dc and ac excitation. An artificial fish with a PVA-PAA gel tail 0.7 mm thick has been designed, and it has been demonstrated that the fish swims forward at a velocity of 2 cm/sec as the gel flaps back and forth under sinusoidally varied electric fields (Fig. 13b). This prototype of a biomimetic actuator shows that translational motion may be produced using bending deformation [74],...
