Shuttle plates

A machine or system to accurately meter additives to the machine s hopper or feed throat. Comes in many sizes and types to suit each particular application, including augers, shuttle plates, photoelectric eyes, and positive or negative weight loss belt feeders. 

The yam carriers are positioned on a generally rectangular machine bed, which is located above the actuation system, the shuttle plate. In the machine bed, there are yam carrier movement channels, which define the possible directions of yam carrier displacement and keep the yam carriers in place when they are not moving. 

Every yam carrier can individually be coupled to or decoupled from the shuttle plate.

An example of the library elements for active elements, passive elements, and resonator elements is shown in Figure 1.26. This library includes shuttle plates, folded springs, rotary torsional springs, linear comb-drives and rotary comb-drives, rotary motors, and test circuits. Having these standard components available at the click of a mouse can significantly accelerate layout. 

Shuttle shifters that separate the plates one by one for cake discharge at a rate of 5-6 seconds per plate. A special design of the shifting mechanism ensures that two adjacent plates are not pulled together due to sticky cakes. 

Lower plate weight has reduced the downtime for shuttle shifting during the cake discharge mode. 

The shuttle shifter moves the plates one by one towards the follower and the eake diseharges. 

The shuttle shifter moves the plates back one by one towards the fixed header. When each plate parks the cloth is washed at 100 bar with a mechanism that lowers and lifts a pair of symmetrical manifolds with high impact nozzles.

There seems to be an opportunity to extend the electrochemical process to direct membrane transport that is, with electrodes plated on either side of a facilitated-transport membrane similar to that of Johnson [24]. The shuttling action of the carrier (Fig. 9) could then be brought about by electrochemical reduction and oxidation instead of pressure difference. 

An injection machine can be equipped with a two-sided shuttle table using either 1 or 2 complete moulds. Applications are in production using a common top mould plate and two identical lower plates. Products with metal inserts or which require unloading and mould cleaning times as long as cure times are best suited to this process. 

The catalysts to be deposited are inserted into the sputter plant as the so-called targets. The shuttle carries the titer-plate and revolves below the metal targets (Figure 3.4). In every rotation up to three sublayers are deposited. For a binary system, the sublayer thickness was 10 nm in each revolution. The thickness gradients were realized by aperture orifices which shaped the particle beam (Figure 3.5). 

Alkaline Fuel Cell The electrolyte for NASA s space shuttle orbiter fuel cell is 35 percent potassium hydroxide. The cell operates between 353 and 363 K (176 and 194°F) at 0.4 MPa (59 psia) on hydrogen and oxygen. The electrodes contain platinum-palladium and platinum-gold alloy powder catalysts bonded with polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE) latex and supported on gold-plated nickel screens for current collection and gas distribution. A variety of materials, including asbestos and potassium titanate, are used to form a micro-porous separator that retains the electrolyte between the electrodes. The cell structural materials, bipolar plates, and external housing are usually nickel, plated to resist corrosion. The complete orbiter fuel cell power plant is shown in Fig. 27-62. 

Plate 3. Distribution of the nitrous oxide (N20) mixing ratio (ppbv) on the 10 hPa pressure level or approximately 30 km altitude as measured on November 6, 1994 by the CRISTA instrument on board the Space Shuttle. The data were interpolated by a Kalman filter. N20 can be regarded as a tracer of dynamical motions for example a tongue of Arctic air extrudes from the North polar vortex across the United States towards the Pacific Ocean. At the same time a "streamer" ofN20 rich air extends from the tropics across eastern Asia towards the Aleutian Islands and the west cost of Canada and the United States. Another "streamer" propagates along the eastern cost of the North America towards Europe. From Offermann et al J. Geophys. Res., 104, 16311, 1999.
