(CMTs) that apply to the disrupted flight for the

disruption period considered are retrieved from a

repository of rules. The cabin and travel class

structure of the replacement flights are further split in

sub-periods to imbed the actual validity periods of

the retrieved CMTs. Finally, rules of the retrieved

CMTs are applied to resolve all found discrepancies.

is realized. Firstly, an original pattern of an

evaporative pattern is formed by machining an

evaporative material block. The original pattern

includes a three-dimensional mesh strucutre

including a plurality of bar-shaped parts and

connecting points that connect ends of the bar-

shaped parts and are distributed in a three-

dimensional space, and a plurality of block parts

having fixed relative positional relationship by being

fixed to the three-dimensional mesh structure. Then,

at least a portion of at least one or more of the bar-

shaped parts composing the original pattern is

removed, and replaced with a tube member. Then, a

full-mold casting is performed by using the

evaporative pattern having the replaced tube

member. Positional relationship of the block parts in

which surfaces, etc. necessary for the metal mold

are formed is fixed by the three-dimensional mesh

structure, and the necessary rigidity is secured. The

metal mold is made lighter by using the three-

dimensional mesh structure. Due to the replacement

with the tube member, an amount of gas generated

upon the full-mold casting is suppressed, and a

coupler draft gear which are used in the field of

carriages of a railway and aim at solving the

problems of lower strength, low safety and reliability

and the like in the prior art. The coupler yoke of the

invention comprises a hollow yoke body with the

cross section being in a long concentric-square

shape, the inner side surface of the one end of the

hollow yoke body is a bearing surface, and at least

part of the heavy loading area of the bearing surface

protrudes outwards relatively to the end surface of

the light loading area. The coupler yoke is used for

connecting couplers between the carriages of a

train, so that the carriages are connected to form the

train for transmitting the tractive force in the

transportation; the distribution pattern of the existing

bearing surface is changed due to the arrangement

of a middle groove, so that the middle part with weak

anti-bending and anti-deformed capability of the

bearing surface is separated from the bottom

surface of the buffer to reduce the load force on the

middle part of the bearing surface, thereby improving

the strength of the coupler yoke, reducing

occurrence of the crack and the fracture in the using

process of the coupler yoke, guaranteeing the

connection reliability and the travelling safety of the

train and ensuring the exchangeability between the

coupler yoke in the invention and the existing

coupler yoke.

Liquid feedstock (e.g., water and/or hydrocarbons mixed with biomass) is pumped through a pipeline; the single-phase stream is then transformed into a biphasic liquid-and-gas stream inside a chamber. The transformation is achieved by transitioning the stream from a high pressure zone to a lower-pressure zone. The pressure drop may occur when the stream further passes through a device for atomizing liquid. Inside the chamber, an electric field is generated with an intensity level that exceeds the threshold of breakdown voltage of the biphasic medium leading to a generation of a plasma state. Furthermore, the invention provides an energy-efficient highly adaptable and versatile method and apparatus for sanitizing water using plasma particles to inactivate biological agents contaminating water.

in mining operations, for example, in gearless

draglines, gearless conveyor drives, and gearless

mill drives. Substantial electromagnetic energy is

stored in the inductive field windings. In the event of

a system fault, such as a short in the direct current

power source exciting the field windings, the

Page 158: December 2013 - Part 2 of 2

electromagnetic energy needs to be discharged from

the field windings. This electromagnetic energy is

typically dissipated as waste heat through a resistor.

Disclosed is a field discharge system in which the

electromagnetic energy is captured and stored as

electrical energy in a capacitor. If an ultracapacitor

bank is used for storage, the charged ultracapacitor

bank can be used as a backup or auxiliary power

source for mining operations. The discharge time is

sufficiently small that high speed circuit breakers are

not needed to disconnect stator windings from the

alternating current power source when a fault

occurs.

These compartments likewise consist of textile materials, in the first case of the same material as the sheath, and in the second case of an expansible knitted

fabric. Flexible tubes, for example made of an elastomer, which expand under pressure are introduced into these compartments. The first-mentioned compartments (9), with textile material which can expand on one side, act as so-called "spacers" and act as displacers for tightening the protective suit over the topography of the individual wearer's body. The second-mentioned compartments (10) act as so-called "muscles" and press locally onto the wearer's body. The compartments (10) are drawn together and thus tighten the sheath and generate an altitude-optimized pressure. These second-mentioned compartments (10) thus tighten the acceleration protection suit to an increasing extent until the tension around the wearer's body builds up the internal pressure which is necessary at the current time. This protective suit has a reliable altitude protection function, provides optimum G-force protection, can be ventilated for cooling purposes and provides additional buoyancy when immersed in water.

An automatic submerged arc welding method for a

large inserted connecting tube on a cone comprises

the following steps: opening a hole on a side wall of

a cone (21); inserting a connecting tube (22) into the

cone, and assembly-welding an annular steel pad

(23) around a part outside the cone and connected

to the connecting tube; elevating two ends, namely a

large opening and a small opening, of the cone

respectively so that the axial direction of the

connecting tube is perpendicular to the ground (27);

assembly-welding a beveled steel tube (24) on the

inner wall of the cone and at the connecting tube;

performing preheating before welding; welding to

form a welded seam (28) between the cone and the

connecting tube by using a saddle-shaped

submerged arc welding machine (25); performing

dehydrogenation treatment after the welding is

completed; and removing surplus height of the

welded seam on the inner wall and polishing the

welded seam smooth. The method uses the saddle-

shaped automatic submerged arc welding machine

to weld, at the inner wall, the inserted connecting

tube and the cone, so as to improve the production

efficiency and reduce the influence of human factors

on the welding quality, thereby avoiding the problem

of difficulty in repairing, shortening the

manufacturing cycle and reducing the manufacturing

costs.
