Celtics plan Doc Rivers press conference, call it off. What does that mean? Who knows.
Jun 21, 2013, 1:52 PM EDT
At this point, the Celtics might as well invite the Ringling Brothers into this process, because their talks with the Clippers are already a circus.
Here is what we do know:
• The Clippers still want to do a deal with Boston that would pass muster with the league, something where the Clippers send picks in compensation for the rights to sign Doc Rivers right now. Then in a few weeks they would revisit any Kevin Garnett for DeAndre Jordan trade talks. But that would be totally separate. What could possibly give you the idea they are connected?
• The Celtics called a press conference for noon Eastern on Monday where Doc Rivers and GM Danny Ainge were to address the media (and you don't really do that if the guy is leaving). But then that presser was abruptly called off and re-scheduled for Monday. That buys the Celtics and Clippers 72 more hours to talk, at least.
All that leaves us with is a ton of questions.
Was the Boston press conference a bluff to force the Clippers back to the table? If so, it worked, apparently.
Are the two sides really any closer to a deal?
Is there a deal the two sides could reach that the league would sign off on, or in three weeks or a month would the league squash a Garnett for Jordan trade?
Is there any way Rivers, Garnett and Paul Pierce could still come back to Boston for one more year? Does Rivers even want to come back?
How badly do the Clippers really want to do a deal? There is a theory among some around the league that the Clippers restarted talks because Chris Paul asked them to and they want to keep him happy so he will re-sign, but they don't really want to give up this much so they are just going through the motions. People around the Clippers don't buy that, but it's out there.
This entire situation is a circus.
I will add this — if this doesn't come together the teams have nobody to blame but themselves. There have been more leaks around this trade than the Titanic. Because of that it's been in the media as a connected deal — Rivers, Garnett and Pierce to the Clippers for a variety of different packages headed back East — everyone knows what they were trying to do. Including the league office. If the sides had been quiet and the Clippers traded Jordan and a couple picks for Garnett, then a couple of weeks later Doc Rivers was let go and just ended up in Los Angeles, they might have been fine. But by te time everything had been leaked and there were all these discussions, it was obvious it was all linked.
They shot themselves in the foot on this one.

Boeing said it has selected GE as its sole engine partner for developing the next version of the 777, which is slated to begin service near the end of the decade.
The so-called 777X has not officially been launched, but there are reports Boeing executives may seek the board's permission as soon as next month to begin formally offering it to customers.
The plane would be a larger and more efficient version of the company's best-selling twin-aisle plane, and is expected to have composite carbon-fiber wings.
GE said it's working on an engine with approximately 100,000 pounds of thrust that will offer a 10 percent improvement in fuel efficiency over today's GE90 engines.

Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce supplied engines for early versions of the 777, and Rolls had been considered for the 777x.
"We have had strong and productive engagement with a broad set of customers in the marketplace to understand their future needs. We are pleased with where we are in the process," said Bob Feldmann, vice president and general manager of 777X Development. "We are aggressively moving forward on our plan and will continue to refine requirements with customers."

Zuckerberg marries 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wed longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan on Saturday, announcing the nuptials through a status update on the social networking site.The 28-year-old billionaire's wedding took place a day after Facebook's initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange on Friday. More than 280,000 people "liked" Zuckerberg's status change, which was accompanied by a photo of the smiling couple in wedding attire in a small, verdant outdoor setting with a string of lights behind them.In the photo, the famously casual Zuckerberg is wearing a dark blue suit and tie, a departure from his trademark "hoodie," while Chan has on a sleeveless white dress with lace overlay.The pair wed in an intimate backyard ceremony in Palo Alto, California, according to People magazine. The couple had planned the exchange of vows for four months, but surprised their guests, who thought they were to celebrate Chan's recent graduation from medical school, the magazine reported.Zuckerberg's sister, Arielle Zuckerberg, posted, "Balls. Now I'm the only unmarried Zuckerberg..." on her Facebook page. She is listed by Chan as a family member on the site.Zuckerberg designed a simple ruby wedding ring for Chan himself, People reported. Guests dined on food from the couple's favorite restaurants, and nibbled on mouse-shaped chocolates that the pair ate on their first date nine years ago.Tim Carvell, lead writer for "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, reacted to the news on Twitter, writing: "Congratulations, Mark Zuckerberg! As a gift, I got you the names of all my friends, a list of my favorite movies, and some photos of me!"Opening bells to wedding bellsZuckerberg, whose shares are worth nearly $20 billion and who retains voting control of Facebook, marked the debut of his company's stock at Facebook's Silicon Valley campus on Friday, symbolically ringing the opening bell for stock trading.The IPO did not go as well as the social networking company had hoped, with shares closing just above the offering price of $38 a share after trading glitches and a last-minute, 25 percent increase in the number of shares being sold.More than 576 million shares changed hands, setting a trading volume record for US market debuts. Facebook posted $3.7 billion in revenue in 2011 and $1 billion in profit. The site boasts 900 million global users.Facebook's emergence as a cultural phenomenon was depicted in the fictionalized 2010 film "The Social Network."Zuckerberg, Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2010, started Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room eight years ago, before dropping out of the Ivy League school. Chan just graduated from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. The couple met while at Harvard.Neither Zuckerberg nor Chan commented further about their marriage on their Facebook pages, and Facebook representatives did not immediately respond to e-mailed requests for comment on the wedding.The couple adopted a Hungarian sheepdog named Beast a year ago, and live together in Palo Alto.

Featured Blog: Biofilms in Mare ReproductionBlog RSS Feed
February 27, 2015
A biofilm has been proposed to have a significant role in chronic infections in the horse. It has been suggested for over a decade that chronic uterine infections resistant to antimicrobials may be due to biofilm production. The involvement of a biofilm in cases of bacterial endometritis has not been clearly elucidated, but many reproductive specialists suspect a biofilm plays a significant role in infectious endometritis. In this article Dr. Ryan Ferris, a board certified theriogenologist from Colorado State University, explains the lifestyles of bacteria, how a biofilm is formed, how they protect bacteria and their implications on equine reproduction.Read More
Featured Question
Is frozen semen less fertile than fresh or cooled semen?
Fertility of frozen semen is highly dependent upon the stallion. In one of the few published trials in which the fertility of fresh, cooled and frozen semen was evaluated from the same stallion, the fertility of cooled semen was less than fresh and the fertility of frozen semen was slightly less than cooled semen. However, in other studies based on a large number of inseminations, the fertility of cooled and frozen semen was found to be similar and both were slightly less than fresh. In 2010, for three breeding farms in MD managing a combined total of 36 stallions shipping either cooled or frozen semen to a total of 648 mares, the first cycle pregnancy rate was 63% for cooled semen and 60% for frozen semen. The end of season pregnancy rate was 79% for cooled semen and 76% for frozen semen. Demonstrating that in the general population of horse breeders comparable results can be achieved with cooled and frozen semen.

Review quote
Review from Booklistby Mark KnoblauchNot so very long ago the term "American cheese" meant a bland product good for little except melting atop a hamburger patty. Thanks to the efforts of a host of cheese makers around the country, American cheese has begun developing a range of tastes and textures to rival the great cheeses of Europe. To guide those who wish to participate in this burgeoning industry, Kindstedt has developed a manual that covers in detail the scientific and technical bases for turning milk into cheese, describing each of the eight steps of the process. Even the nonprofessional can profit from Kindstedt's discussion of the chemical principles that underlie cheese making, the variations in the final product that are affected by temperature, acidity, salt, and coagulating media. Kinstedt pays particular heed to the importance of sanitation. Other contributors address the art that creates flavor from the science and commercial principles that sustain the cheesemaker. Libra

The arrival of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks has enabled a wide range of new interactive multimedia applications for the residential market. The article presents a vision for supporting universal residential broadband services based on an ATM-to-the-home (ATTH) network architecture. This network architecture applies to the various residential access network (RAN) architectures being deployed today, such as hybrid fiber/coax (HFC), fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC), fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), and asymmetric digital subscriber loop (ADSL) technologies. The article addresses today's residential networks and applications, to understand why a switched broadband residential network is required to support residential broadband services. After exploring residential broadband application requirements, a new class of service is proposed to support a very important class of residential broadband applications that has been not addressed. Then, the technical and strategic motivations for using the ATTH architecture are discussed in detail. A universal model for residential broadband network architecture based on ATTH is described, which is shown to apply to various RAN architectures. Finally, it discusses the signaling requirements of residential broadband services and explain why the ATM multiconnection per-call model is much more efficient than the digital stored media command and control (DSM-CC) session control protocol approach for the ATTH architecture

That accomplished nothing!!! We need to do more than protest by chaining ourselves to fences. We need to expose the corruption and leadership of this country to the world and ask them for help in overthrowing it. Democracy has now been ousted and Obamism or Nazism has replaced it.
News Black-Out in DC: Pay No Attention to Those Veterans Chained to the White House Fence
by Dave Lindorff
There was a black-out and a white-out Thursday and Friday as over a hundred US veterans opposed to US wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world, and their civilian supporters, chained and tied themselves to the White House fence during an early snowstorm to say enough is enough.

Doug Marshall (16-6 MMA, 2-0 BFC) thinks he made a mistake in his recent win over Andreas Spang. Sure, he got the victory, but he didn't make his opponent pay. And according to "The Rhino," that's not going to happen again.
"Usually, I don't stop until the ref pulls me off," Marshall told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "That last punch I landed against Spang, I knew it was over. There's no way he was going to get up and continue fighting after that. I felt the punch connect solid and transfer all the way through my elbow, and he was done. He might not have been able to eat a solid thing for the rest of his life if Dan Miragliotta wouldn't have stopped that fight.
"That's the feeling I got when I hit him. I thought, 'I'm going to be a nice guy and let him slide on the rest of this ass whooping.' That ain't gonna happen again."
It's boastful claims from the 37-year-old Californian, but it's not as if he hasn't shown a propensity for violence throughout his career. In fact, of his 16 career wins, 11 have come by knockout.
"I just know that when I touch another man with my punches, they're going to sleep," Marshall said. "You're never going to get that pitty-patty punching from me. Dudes are not going to eat 300 of my punches and still be alive. It's just not humanly possible.
"Three words you need to know about 'The Rhino': explosive, violent and entertaining."
Marshall has lived up that billing thus far in his Bellator career. After struggling through a 1-3 stretch fighting for a few regional promotions, Marshall has been reborn at Bellator. He debuted this past November with a 22-second knockout of Kala Hose and then downed Spang in the opening round of Bellator's Season 8 middleweight tournament.
Tonight, he meets undefeated Russian Sultan Aliev (9-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) in the semifinal round of the bracket at Bellator 92. Aliev also boasts a few knockout finishes in his young career, but Marshall isn't overly concerned. He's on a mission to get through the tournament and book a date with current middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko.
"Honestly, I don't know too much about Sultan Aliev," Marshall said. "He's Russian, so he's tough. If this guy thinks he's going to take me down and wet-blanket me for all three rounds, good luck.
"There's not too much I can say without sounding like a complete arrogant f—, but this guy's going down. I'm going to knock this f—ing dude out, then I'm going to knock out the next guy. I'm going to win my title shot, and then I'm going to knock out Alexander Shlemenko. It's as simple as that."
And there you have. Marshall doesn't beat around the bush, either inside of the cage or out. Tonight, expect no less. Marshall promises to push forward from moment one, and he expects to see a violent ending.
"I'm going to knock this guy out," Marshall said. "I know that's kind of simple and plain, but I'm going go in and impose my will, put on the pressure, and knock this guy out. I'm just going break him.
"I don't look at fighting as a sport. This is mortal combat. It's me, or it's you."
Bellator 92, which features the semifinals of Bellator's Season 8 featherweight and middleweight tournaments, takes place tonight at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, Calif. The evening's main card airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Schumacher "slightly improved," but doctors still cautious
Dec 31, 2013, 5:50 AM EDT
Tuesday's latest update from the medical team of doctors at Grenoble University Hospital in France is that Michael Schumacher's condition is "slightly improved," but that his condition is still critical and his situation will still need to be monitored on an hourly basis.
A new CT scan was taken late Monday night and showed an improved status, so an option was presented to Schumacher's family as to whether to do another operation to further reduce pressure on his brain. A two-hour procedure then began at 10 p.m. to evacuate a hematoma on the left side of his brain.
Schumacher is still in an artificial coma, but the operation went well. Further hematomas do still exist, but the one that was removed was large, easily accessible and could be removed without undue risk, according to doctors.
"We have effectively at the end of the afternoon, received a transitional improvement in the pressure on the brain for Michael Schumacher," anesthesiologist professor Jean-Francois Payen explained, via a stream aired by the BBC. "This meant we could take a new scan without putting him at risk. This showed signs he is relatively stable. So there is no worsening of the initial lesions.
"In discussing this with my neurosurgeon colleagues, we decided that since there was an improvement, we should do this operation. We didn't think to do so initially. In the evening, this operation would allow, to reduce further the pressure on the brain. We did this overnight, and with a relatively good result. So this morning we took some more pictures/scans. We have noticed to evacuate the hematoma further, the situation is better controlled than yesterday."
Doctors would not use the word "optimistic," yet, instead cautioning this remains an hour-by-hour process. But they did admit to feeling less anxious than at the time 24 hours ago.
They also said repeatedly they cannot forecast how Schumacher's condition will change over the next hours. While it could improve, it could also get worse.
All decisions have been made in consultation with Schumacher's family, who remain at his bedside. No transfer of hospital will occur at this time; a transfer has been ruled "too dangerous" by the doctors due to Schumacher's delicate state.
Doctors ended the half-hour press conference saying they would ask that press conferences be the only form of updates, rather than one-on-one interviews, to allow the medical team to continue to do its job. They reiterated that the only difference between Schumacher and the hospital's other patients in the presence of the press; that all patients receive the same level of care.
Further updates, then, will only come when there is a change in condition, via another press conference. Schumacher sustained the head injuries on Sunday and doctors said it was too early to provide a prognosis on Monday.

The layered liner at Mackage (Image courtesy of Maybelline)
Backstage at Mackage, Maybelline's Lead Makeup Artist for Canada Grace Lee wanted models to "look frosted" to compliment the collection's cool Arctic/iceberg-inspired look. This translated into a graphic eye that you, if anything like me, will want to steal for your next nighttime outing. Using the width of the brush as a guide, Lee applied a thick swipe of black Maybelline Eye Studio Master Graphic Liquid Liner, then layered Maybelline Colour Show Kohl Liner in Turquoise Flash over top. "Each eye will look different," said Lee, "because when you open the eye, the blue kind of disappears, with just a hint of blue visible on the inner corner and the outer corner. When [the model] blinks, you will see a pop of icy blue." Skin was well-moisturized, then highlighted with Maybelline Face Studio Master Prime in Blur and Illuminate on the chin, cupid's bow and bridge of the nose. "We used [primer] to highlight the skin where you would normally put highlighter, for a really beautiful sheen. Adding this gives it that icy feel."

DEFINITION of 'Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion'
A means of measuring risk avoidance via a mathematical equation. Hyperbolic absolute risk aversion is part of the family of utility functions originally proposed by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern in the late 1940s. Like their other theorems, HARA assumes that investors are rational, which is expressed as a desire to maximize final payouts while mitigating risk.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion'
Similar to other mathematical utility and optimization methods, HARA provides a framework for investors to model different behaviors as well as assess the impact of various decisions. What's more, HARA can be used on a wide array of financial and non-financial problems. As with most mathematical methods, hyperbolic absolute risk aversion works best when one's investment objectives are clearly defined.

A slide valve for use in throttling the flow of fluid containing solid particles uses a fixed triangle orifice to reduce flow impingement on the wall of the valve defined by the valve body. The triangular shape and its orientation minimizes the flow of particles near the wall and geometrically increases the flow area with the movement of a single disc to reduce the decentralization of flow through the valve as the disc effects flow control.
1. A slide valve adapted for use in flow control of fluid streams containing erosive particles, said valve comprising:
a valve body comprising a wall defining a circular, central flow passage along a linear flow path that connects an inlet and an outlet for flow in a single direction along a primary axis of said valve body and defining an opening transverse to said primary axis;
a single disc member retained in said valve body at the location of said transverse opening for movement normal to said primary axis and defining a leading edge for contacting said fluid stream;
a pair of guides for slidably retaining said disc in said valve body;
means for selectively moving said disc in said guides from a closed position to an open position; and,
an orifice plate fixed with respect to said valve body and located adjacent to said disk, said disc, said orifice plate defining an orifice opening perpendicular to said primary axis, said orifice opening having a cross section in the shape of an equilateral triangle with an apex of the triangle positioned closest to said leading edge when the valve is in a closed position and the base of the triangle defining the orifice positioned normal to the direction of disc movement to reduce the volume of said stream that is discharged adjacent to the wall of said valve body and centralize the discharge of flow with respect to the valve body wherein the apex and the base of the triangle are located away from the wall of the valve body by a distance equal to 1/3 of the diameter of the central flow passage.
2. The slide valve of claim 1 wherein the leading edge of said disc defines a V-notch that together with said orifice opening defines an opening for the fluid stream having a quadrilateral shape and wherein the v-notch angle of the disc is more shallow relative to apex of the orifice.
3. The slide valve of claim 2 wherein the side walls of said plate defining said orifice opening extend uniformly in the direction of the primary valve axis.
1. Field of the invention
This invention relates generally to valves for throttling and blocking the flow of solid particles and solid particles mixed with gas streams. More specifically, this invention relates to slide valves.
2. Description of the prior art
Slide valves find routine application in the throttling of gas streams containing solid particles and the throttling or complete blockage of solids flow. Familiar applications for slide valves include fluid catalytic cracking units, fluid coking units, and fluidized iron ore units. Service conditions for slide valves are typically harsh and operate at temperatures that can vary from atmospheric to over 1600� F., with temperatures typically ranging from 800 to 1400� F. Pressure containment for the valve body and components ranges from atmospheric conditions to over 250 psig. Pressure drops created by flow restriction across the valve will typically range from less than 1 psi to 50 psi. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,726,306 and 3,964,507 show typical slide valve arrangements that have a sliding disc retained in a slot for sliding movement across an orifice that serves as a variable flow path opening for throttling or occluding flow.
Slide valves are not ordinarily used to provide gas tight sealing, but are understood to be throttling or flow blocking devices. Slide valve arrangements for blocking or throttling flow have traditionally used a single disc to cover the orifice opening. Throttling valves have an orifice opening which offers a reduced flow are relative to the nominal line size in which the valve is placed. An orifice plate fixed with respect to the valve body defines the orifice opening for most valve arrangements. In throttling operations, the orifice opening ordinarily provides a flow area substantially less than the flowing diameter of the line across which the valve regulates flow. Sizing of the orifice opening usually restricts its open flow area during operation to about 50 to 80% of total area of the orifice opening.
It is known to use different disc or orifice configurations to program the flow control of the response of the valve through the range of disc movement. The use of triangular orifice openings in a slide valve is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,276. In this valve arrangement, the triangular orifice opening is defined by the movable disc and moves with respect to the orifice opening defined by the valve.
As the disc changes positions across the opening of the orifice, downstream flow characteristics of the fluid and particles is affected. In order to avoid or reduce erosion on downstream piping, it is highly desirable to keep the flow of particles and fluid centered in the orifice opening. As the size of the orifice opening changes with position of the disc during throttling, the centralization of the flow stream with respect to valve body and piping will change. Maintaining the flow as centralized as possible through the valve minimizes erosion downstream of the disc and orifice which by contact of catalyst the surfaces of the valve body.
The combination of high velocity gases and elevated temperatures can lead to severe erosion problems in slide valves. Elevated temperatures significantly reduce the physical strength and hardness of the valve material. Erosion substantially reduces the operating life of valves when it occurs. When erosion becomes severe enough, valve components must be replaced--usually requiring the shutdown of expensive operating equipment.
One of the most severely erosive environments is encountered when regulating the discharge of flue gases from an FCC unit. This slide valve in a flue gas operation regulates the pressure of the FCC regenerator by throttling the discharge of exhaust gases created by the combustion of coke from catalyst particles. This slide valve operates in combination with a series of fixed orifices located in a chamber that reduces the pressure of the flue gas from a range of from 15 to 30 psi to atmospheric conditions. Fixed orifices usually account for half of the pressure drop imposed by the flue gas. The remaining approximately other half of the pressure drop occurs across the slide valve and varies as pressure is adjusted through the throttling of the slide valve. Flue gas typically leaves an FCC unit at elevated temperatures of over 1200� F. and as high as 1500� F. The loading of solid particles or catalyst in the flue gas is relatively light--typically in the order of 0.05 lbs/ft3. However, the velocity of flue gas through the valve approaches sonic velocity and is usually as high as 0.5 to 0.75 mach. The high velocity and high temperature of the gas and catalyst can result in severe erosion on the surfaces of the slide valve.
A number of slide valve arrangements are taught with specific objective of better adapting the valve to the erosive environment of flue gas and particulate solids. Valve designs that include components and arrangements for suitability to erosive environments include U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,217,834; 2,614,789; 2,636,712 and 3,370,610.
It is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,253,487, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference, to center flow in a slide valve to reduce erosion. U.S. Pat. No. 4,253,487 teaches the use of two opposing discs in a slide valve that are retracted from each other to define a central opening that remains centered across the flow area of the orifice as the open area of the orifice changes through repositioning of the discs. While the dual disc slide valve keeps the central section of the flow centered with respect to the axis of movement of the discs, it adds the expense and complexity of supplying and operating a valve with dual discs. The opening provided by the dual discs also has fixed sides in the direction transverse to disc movement. The constant width of the orifice opening in a direction normal to direction of the disc movement limits its ability to reduce erosion with respect to the portion of the valve adjacent the constant width section.
It is an object of this invention to provide a single disc slide valve that uses a single disc for throttling fluid and biases flow toward the center of the valve body.
Another objective of this invention is to provide a slide valve that reduces fluid and particulate flow near the valve body.
Accordingly, in the present invention, a triangular orifice opening is fixed in the valve body of a slide valve and oriented to minimize flow near the outer portions of the valve body while also serving to centralize flow with respect to the valve body as the disc cycles in its normal range of operating positions. The use of a fixed triangular shape for the orifice opening orients the peaks of the triangle near the outer portion of the valve body. As the peaks of the triangle are oriented to the outer portion of the valve body, they provide the most limited flow area where the periphery of the orifice opening comes closest to the valve body. Accordingly, the triangular shape has a self limiting effect on flow that is located the maximum distance from the center of the primary axis of the valve body. The triangular shape is also oriented with diverging sides oriented to increase the opening width across the orifice as the disc is withdrawn from the orifice opening into the valve bonnet to increase flow path across the orifice. The diverging sides thereby provide a geometric increase in the flow area with progressive opening of the disc as it is retracted from the flow passage. The progressively greater flow area provided with decreasing disc movement allows adjustment of the flow with reduced variation in the center of the flow path as the flow area becomes progressively greater. Accordingly, once the valve is in a normal open position, throttling of the valve is highly responsive to small disc movements so that the orifice can be sized and positioned to maintain flow in a relatively centralized area with only a single control disc.
Accordingly, in one embodiment, this invention is a slide valve adapted for use in flow control of fluid streams containing erosive particles. The valve includes a valve body comprising a wall that defines a central passage along a linear flow path. The linear flow path connects a inlet and outlet for flow in a single direction along a primary axis of the valve body. The valve body also defines an opening transverse to the primary axis. The valve body holds a single disc member. The disc member is slideably mounted at the location of the transverse opening for movement normal to the primary axis of the valve body. The disc member defines a leading edge for contacting the fluid stream. A pair of guides slideably retains the single disc in the valve body. Means are provided for selectively moving the disc in the guides from a closed position to an open position. An orifice plate fixed with respect to the valve body and located adjacent to the disc defines an orifice opening in a plane perpendicular to the primary axis. The orifice opening presents a triangular cross-section to the flow stream. The triangular cross section is located with the apex of the triangle closest to the leading edge of the disc when the valve is in a closed position. This positioning reduces the volume of the stream that is discharged adjacent to the wall of the valve body and centralizes the discharge of flow with respect to the valve body.
Additional aspects, embodiments, and details of the invention can be appreciated from the following Figures and the Detailed Description.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a slide valve cut away to show its internals.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the valve of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a connection for the stem of a valve to a moveable disc.
FIG. 4 is a cross-section taken across line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a top view of the valve of FIG. 1 showing the disc in a normal operating position.
FIG. 6 shows the valve of FIG. 1 with a modified slide valve disc.
The drawings disclose a multi-position slide valve, 10 which is particularly adapted to fluidized solid service, especially for throttling flow and more particularly for use in controlling the flow of erosive fluids which contain solids. The valve comprises a single disc 12, which is shown covering a valve orifice 14. The disc is positioned directly against an orifice plate 16 that defines orifice opening 14. The transverse sides of the orifice opening 14 are, preferably, parallel to the flow. Disc 12 is a solid member having a generally rectangular cross-section which is squared or straight along its inner or leading edge 18. Means for providing hard surfacing or other abrasive resistant lining around the orifice opening are known to those skilled in the art and may be employed in the arrangement of slide valves in accordance with this invention.
On the upper side of disc member 12 and disposed adjacent to the transverse sides or edges thereof are a pair of essentially parallel elongated guide bars 20 and 22 which ensure that the movement of the slides will be limited to a back and forth motion transverse to the direction of flow and inhibiting movement of the disc along the primary axis 15 of the valve. As shown more clearly in FIG. 4, guide bars 20 and 26 are secured to side retainer bars 24 and 26 that are located directly therebelow. Side retainer bars 24 and 26 prevent side-to-side movement of the disc 12, normal to the primary and intended direction of travel for the disc. Critical tolerances for the disc and the guides along with positioning of the disc above the orifice opening are well known to those skilled in the art of slide valve design.
A bolt 28 extends through guide bar 20 and retainer bar 24 in a typical arrangement to retain the guide bar and retaining bars in the orifice plate 16. A series of bolts 32 retain the orifice plate on the top of a valve seat plate 30. Plate 30 extends radially outward and is welded to valve body 34. The outer edges 36 of valve body 30 are ordinarily welded to connecting pipe or may be provided with suitable flanges for a bolted connection into a piping system.
The valve disc 12 reciprocates inwardly and outwardly into a valve bonnet 38. Valve body 34 defines a transverse opening in its sidewall to accommodate movement of the disc into and out of bonnet 38. A valve stem 40 extends through the opening and into the bonnet for controlling the position of disc 12. As shown in FIG. 3, disc 12 retains an upset end 42 of stem 40 into a recess 44. Stem 40 passes into an operator mounted on the end of a pedestal 44 for positioning the disc within the valve in a desired location. Appropriate means for preventing leakage around the valve stem such as a standard stuffing box arrangement would normally be provided with the valve. Operator 42 may be any type that will retain the disc in a desired location and may be pneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically controlled by pistons, cylinder system, diaphram, electric motor, or step positioning system. The operators may be remotely or manually controlled as desired. Bonnet arrangements and control systems for positioning the discs are well known to those skilled in the art of slide valve design.
The orifice opening has a generally triangular shape. The apex 46 of the triangle 14 is directed away from the valve bonnet so that a leading apex of the triangle is first uncovered by retraction of the valve disc 12 toward the bonnet. Looking then at FIG. 5, valve disc 12' is shown in a retracted position that opens the shaded area 17 of orifice 14' for flow of the particle and gas mixture. The preferred configuration for the triangular orifice opening is an equilateral triangle. An equilateral triangle provides equal lengths to all sides of the orifice opening as the disc is retracted. A preferred position for the equilateral triangle is shown by FIG. 5 wherein the lead apex and the base of an equilateral triangle are each located 1/3 of the diameter D across the valve body. This position give the orifice opening some unique properties. When the disc is positioned to open a triangular area such that all of the apexes of the triangle are equi-distant from the circular perimeter of valve body 34, the orifice opening provides an open flow area equal to approximately 72% of its total open area. Thus an orifice opening having an equilateral triangle arrangement as depicted in FIG. 5 will provide the best centralization of flow wherein the distance to the valve body is minimized at all three corners of the triangle. Furthermore the rate of increase for the flow area as the valve disc is retracted to further open the orifice is maximized by the diverging sides. Accordingly, sizing the valve such that its normal flow area equals approximately 72% of its total orifice area will result in a valve that operates with normally centralized flow through most of its expected deviation from the normal operating position during throttling of the valve. Small advancement or retractions of the disc will create large variations in the flow area with only minor affects on the centralization of flow through the valve.
FIG. 6 shows a further variation in the arrangement of valve 10 wherein a modified disc 16" has a leading edge shaped with a "V" notch 18'. In this arrangement, the orifice opening will have a quadrilateral shape. The "V" notch can provide further centralization of the flow and minimization of erosion on the valve body by channeling flow into the back portion of the orifice opening that is still located at a distance equal to at least D/3 from the side wall. The "V" notch allows the back area of the orifice to be opened without further advancing corner 48 towards the wall of the valve body. In order to prevent the apex 50 of "V" notch from channeling flow close to the bonnet section of the valve, a shallow "V" notch angle is preferred. Preferably the V-notch angle of the disc will be less severe than the apex angle of the triangular orifice opening.
