Changing Device for Coating Media and Coating System for Coating Objects
A changing device for coating media having a plurality of supply units each having at least one inlet connection, which can be connected to a reservoir for the medium, and an outlet connection, between which a flow channel extends. At least one coupling unit is present which has an input connection and an output connection, which can be connected to an application device, between which input connection and which output connection a through-channel (44) extends. The coupling unit is moveable relative to the supply units by a positioning device. The input connection can be coupled fluid-tight to the outlet connection of a supply unit. A valve device is present, in which each supply unit includes a valve unit which releases the flow channel in a released configuration and closes in a closed configuration and is controllable by a control signal in the released configuration. The valve device includes a control system, which has a switch device for each supply unit which allows the control signal through to the valve unit in a switched configuration and blocks the control signal to the valve unit in a blocked configuration, and has a trigger device which triggers at least one switching of the switch device from the blocked configuration into the switched configuration when the input connection of the coupling unit is to be coupled or is coupled fluid-tight to the outlet connection of a supply unit.
Multiphase flow mixed delivery method employing reciprocating driving performed by liquid in two chambers and device thereof
A multiphase flow mixed delivery device employing reciprocating driving performed by a liquid in two chambers comprises a left container (1), a right container (2), a power pump (3), a data acquisition and control system (4), a solenoid valve group, a check valve group, an inlet manifold (5), and an outlet manifold (6). A vacuum suction chamber and a compression discharging chamber alternately formed by the two containers serve as a suction chamber and a discharging chamber of a multiphase mixed flow delivery pump. After gas in a liquid-gas mixture is separated in the container, the gas is compressed by a liquid, and is discharged out of the container. The power pump constantly operates in a pure liquid working condition, thereby eliminating the issue in which a liquid with a high gas content affects the power pump. The invention requires only an ordinary water pump to achieve mixed delivery of a multiphase flow, and the ordinary water pump can even serve as a vacuum pump and a compressor for pure gas and operate continuously. Also disclosed is a multiphase flow mixed delivery method using the multiphase flow mixed delivery device employing reciprocating driving performed by a liquid in two chambers.

CONTROL OF LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR REACTIONS IN HYDRIDES, AND AUTONOMOUSLY CONTROLLED HEAT MODULE
A treatment of a possibly powdered, sintered, or deposited lattice (e.g., nickel) for heat generating applications and a way to control low energy nuclear reactions (“LENR”) hosted in the lattice by controlling hydride formation. The method of control and treatment involves the use of the reaction lattice, enclosed by an inert cover gas such as argon that carries hydrogen as the reactive gas in a non-flammable mixture. Hydrogen ions in the lattice are transmuted to neutrons as discussed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0206715 (Godes_2007)). Hydrogen moving through the lattice interacts with the newly formed neutrons generating an exothermic reaction.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THE CAPTURE OF HEAT ENERGY, LONG-DISTANCE CONVEYANCE, STORAGE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE CAPTURED HEAT ENERGY AND POWER GENERATED THEREFROM
A stand-alone long-distance closed-loop heat energy capture, conveyance, and delivery system, comprises three closed-loop modules in serial communication. The first module is in communication with a first closed-loop piping infrastructure interconnected with a source of heat energy, and has a LBP liquid circulating therein whereby the LBP liquid is converted into its gas phase when flowing through the source of heat energy thereby capturing a portion of heat energy therefrom, and is converted into its liquid phase when flowing through a first heat exchanger that transfers the captured-heat energy to a second closed-loop piping infrastructure wherein also is circulating a LBP liquid. The second closed-loop module may extend for long distances. The captured-heat energy in the second module is transferred to a third closed-loop piping infrastructure wherein is also circulating a LBP liquid. The captured-heat energy is transferred from the third module to a delivery site.
Pipeline interchange/transmix
In one embodiment, a pipeline interchange is described where a first product flows through a first pipeline and a second product flows through a second pipeline. In this embodiment, a first product automated analyzer is situated near the first pipeline to physical and/or chemically analyze the first product and generate first product data. Additionally, in this embodiment, a second product automated analyzer is situated near the second pipeline to physical and/or chemically analyze the second product and generate second product data. A pipeline interchange is connected downstream to both the first pipeline and the second pipeline, wherein the pipeline interchange blends the first product flowing through the first pipeline with the second product flowing through the second pipeline. A third pipeline is connected downstream to the pipeline interchange, wherein the third pipeline flows a blended product created from the blending of the first product and the second product in the pipeline interchange. A data analyzer is also positioned to interpret the first product data and the second product data and communicate adjustments to the flow of both the first product and the second product to achieve desired physical and/or chemical characteristics in the blended product.
Pipeline interchange/transmix
In one embodiment, a process is taught where the process begins by flowing a first product through a first pipeline and flowing a second product through a second pipeline. In this embodiment, the first product in the first pipeline is analyzed with a first product automated analyzer that is capable of physical and/or chemically analyzing the first product in the first pipeline and generating a first product data. Additionally, in this embodiment, the second product in the second pipeline is analyzed with a second product automated analyzer that is capable of physical and/or chemically analyzing the second product in the second pipeline and generating a second product data. The process then produces a blended product by mixing both the first product and the second product within a pipeline interchange which is connected downstream to both the first pipeline and the second pipeline. The blended product then flows from the pipeline interchange to a third pipeline that is connected downstream of pipeline interchange. The first product data and the second product data is then interpreted in a data analyzer by comparing the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the first data to an optimal first data and the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the second data to an optimal second data. The data analyzer then determines the adjustments in the flow of the first product and the flow of the second product to achieve optimal blended data from the blended product. The adjustments are then communicated to adjust the flow of the first product in the first pipeline and the flow of the second product in the second pipeline.
