Production of high-temperature claydite from loams of the Vladimirovskoe Deposit

The possibility of producing high-temperature claydite on the basis of low-grade overburden rocks (loams) of the Vladimirovskoe Deposit is considered. The correcting additives are taken from industrial waste, namely, solar oil and chamotte-kaolin dust from electric filters of rotary kilns.Translated from Ogneupory, No. 4, pp. 26 – 28, April, 1996.     

Manufacture of films displaying liquid-crystalline structure

Reported is an attempt to attain orientation of macromolecules during extrusion of films of cellulose derivatives that led to the liquid-crystalline state of a polymer and resulted in enhanced film strength.     

Large signal analysis of the LCC-type parallel resonant converterusing discrete time domain modeling

A discrete time domain model for the LCC-type parallel resonant power converter has been derived. This model has been used to predict the large signal behavior of the power converter. The peak component stresses and the dynamic response of the key state variables, as obtained from the large signal analysis, using PRO-MATLAB software are plotted. SPICE results are included to verify the analytical results. Experimental results are also presented to verify the theory
