A CF8C type stainless steel alloy and articles formed therefrom containing about 18.0 weight percent to about 22.0 weight percent chromium and 11.0 weight percent to about 14.0 weight percent nickel; from about 0.05 weight percent to about 0.15 weight percent carbon; from about 2.0 weight percent to about 10.0 weight percent manganese; and from about 0.3 weight percent to about 1.5 weight percent niobium. The present alloys further include less than 0.15 weight percent sulfur which provides high temperature strength both in the matrix and at the grain boundaries without reducing ductility due to cracking along boundaries with continuous or nearly-continuous carbides. The disclosed alloys also have increased nitrogen solubility thereby enhancing strength at all temperatures because nitride precipitates or nitrogen porosity during casting are not observed. The solubility of nitrogen is dramatically enhanced by the presence of manganese, which also retains or improves the solubility of carbon thereby providing additional solid solution strengthening due to the presence of manganese and nitrogen, and combined carbon.

The invention aims to prevent the disadvantages of printed circuit board transformers with respect to their quality and safety, in particular in a performance range of greater than 150 VA with output voltages of less than 12 V. This is achieved by a planar transformer comprising a ferrite core (1a, 1b, 21a, 21b), at least one primary coil and at least one secondary coil, which can be connected on a printed circuit board and a coil body (3, 23), which encompasses part of the ferrite core (1a, 1b, 21a, 21b) and carries at least one secondary coil. According to the invention, each of the secondary coils (3, 23) carried by the coil body is configured from at least one winding metal sheet (2, 22), which is open on one side and can be plugged into the coil body (3, 23) and connected to the printed circuit board.

A semiconductor light emitting device including a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region and contacts electrically connected to the n-type region and the p-type region is connected to a mount. A metal layer arbitrarily patterned to cover at least 20% of the area of the semiconductor light emitting device is plated on either a metal layer formed on the mount or a metal layer formed on one of the contacts. The plated metal layer may replace other known interconnecting techniques such as stud bumps. The semiconductor light emitting device is physically connected to the mount by causing interdiffusion between the contact surfaces of the metal layers. In some embodiments, a layer of solder is formed over the plated metal layer, and then the semiconductor light emitting device is physically connected to the mount by heating the solder.

A method for forming a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component for gas turbine engines. The method contemplates replacing a plurality of plies with insert material. The insert material can be partially cured or pre-cured and applied in place of a plurality of small plies or it may be inserted into cavities of a component in the form of a paste or a ply. The insert material is isotropic, being formed of a combination of matrix material and chopped fibers, tow, cut plies or combinations thereof. The use of the insert material allows for features such as thin edges with thicknesses of less than about 0.030 inches and small radii such as found in corners. The CMC components of the present invention replace small ply inserts cut to size to fit into areas of contour change or thickness change, and replace the small ply inserts with a fabricated single piece discontinuously reinforced composite insert, resulting in fewer defects, such as wrinkles, and better dimensional control.

A cooling device is applied to cooling an electronic element producing concentrated heat in a case where the electronic element is housed in a portable electronic device such as a notebook PC. The cooling device is provided with an active heat transport element provided with a heat intake portion and a heat outlet portion, which conducts heat from the heat intake portion to the heat outlet portion, a first flow channel disposed upstream of the electronic element in flow of the cooling medium, a second flow channel disposed downstream of the electronic element in the flow of the cooling medium. The heat is by-passed by means of the active heat transport element so that the electronic element is exposed to flow of the cooled cooling medium and effectively cooled thereby.

A system for measuring average temperature including a plurality of measurement thermocouples (10,12,14) connected in parallel to measurement apparatus (24) by two signal wires (22) of a material different to that of the measurement thermocouples (10,12,14). Compensation thermocouples (26,28,30) are located at the cold junctions (16,18,20) of the measurement thermocouples (10,12,14) and connected to the measurement apparatus (24).

A suction modulation valve is throttled when conditions in a refrigerant system indicate that an undesirable amount of liquid refrigerant might otherwise be delivered to the compressor. As an example, the throttling would occur at start-up, among other conditions. Throttling the suction modulation valve reduces the amount of refrigerant reaching the compressor and thus ensures that any liquid refrigerant would be likely “boiled off” before raising any problems in the compressor. Other control steps can also be performed to alleviate flooded compressor operation with liquid refrigerant. Such steps, for example, can consist of: actuating heaters, discharge valve throttling, by-passing refrigerant from intermediate compression point back to suction, controlling the speed of the condenser fan can be performed independently or in combination including the suction modulation valve throttling.

The invention discloses a separating method and corresponding equipment of low-carbon olefins beneficial to product recovery. The separating method comprises the steps of: pretreating and delivering oxygenated chemical-converted low-carbon olefin flow into a depropanization system, cooling and delivering top products of the depropanization system into a demethanizing tower, cooling the top of the demethanizing tower only with a propylene refrigerant, delivering vapor phase at the tower top into a pressure swing adsorption device for recovering ethylene, returning the recovered crude ethylene gas back before a segment of compressor to be mixed with low-carbon olefin reaction gas flow, so that a copious cooling cold box and an ethylene refrigeration compressor are omitted, and the fixed investment and energy consumption can be reduced. Compared with the prior art, the separating method and corresponding equipment have the advantages of being low in separating energy consumption, high in material recovery rate, small in influence on the following ethylene and propylene separation, and the like.

A high temperature ball valve seal is disclosed that achieves Class IV shutoff for operating temperatures above 550 degrees F. The ball valve seal includes a C-seal positioned between a main seal and a seal housing to prevent fluid from flowing through a secondary flowpath when the ball valve is in a closed position.

LED chips and packages are disclosed having lenses made of materials that resist degradation at higher operation temperatures and humidity, and methods of fabricating the same. The lenses can be made of certain materials that can withstand high temperatures and high humidity, with the lenses mounted to the LED prior to certain critical metallization steps. This helps avoid damage to the metalized part that might occur as a result of the high mounting or bonding temperature for the lens. One embodiment of an LED chip comprises a flip-chip LED and a lens mounted to the topmost surface of the flip-chip LED. Lenses can be bonded to LEDs at the wafer level or at the chip level. The lens comprises a non-polymer material and the LED chip is characterized as having substantially no polymer materials in contact with the LED chip.

The present invention provides solid oxide fuel cells, solid oxide electrolyzer cells, solid oxide sensors, components of any of the foregoing, and methods of making and using the same. In some embodiments, a solid oxide fuel cell comprises an air electrode (or cathode), a fuel electrode (or anode), an electrolyte interposed between the air electrode and the fuel electrode, and at least one electrode-electrolyte transition layer. Other embodiments provide novel methods of producing nano-scale films and/or surface modifications comprising one or more metal oxides to form ultra-thin (yet fully-dense) electrolyte layers and electrode coatings. Such layers and coatings may provide greater ionic conductivity and increased operating efficiency, which may lead to lower manufacturing costs, less-expensive materials, lower operating temperatures, smaller-sized fuel cells, electrolyzer cells, and sensors, and a greater number of applications.
