Vacuum-jacketed transfer line installation technique

Rolling-type spacers in the form of steel balls retained in appropriate sleeves affixed at intervals to the exterior of the transfer line facilitate the installation of a vacuum-jacketed line. They act as standoffs to position the transfer line concentrically within the vacuum jacket line

Jacketed cryogenic piping is stress relieved

Jacketed design of piping used to transfer cryogenic fluids, relieves severe stresses associated with the temperature gradients that occur during transfer cycles and ambient periods. The inner /transfer/ pipe is preloaded in such a way that stress relief takes place automatically as cycling occurs

Some Economic Insights into Application of Payments Doctrine: \u3cem\u3eWalker-Thomas\u3c/em\u3e Revisited

Contractual relations frequently involve multiple transactions, which might give rise either to a single aggregate debt, or else to multiple differing obligations. This conflict creates the application of payments problem. Unsurprisingly, the common law developed long-standing rules for the application of partial payments to multiple, but remedially distinguishable debts. The subject is made timely again by the recent enactments of the 1999 revision of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Article 9 instructs courts how to solve the application of payments problem when some partial payments might satisfy “purchase money” security interests. The enactments repealed the common law application of payment rules for consumer purchase money transactions, and invited courts to reinvent consumer payment application rules from scratch. This article uses Williams v. Walker Thomas Furniture Company, a classic aberrant consumer contract case, to provide the first rough economic cut at the impact of the new enactments to Article 9 and to illuminate the challenges the courts will face as they approach the new task of developing consumer payment application rules

Rehabilitation, Redistribution or Dissipation: The Evidence for Choosing Among Bankruptcy Hypotheses

This Article addresses that new redistributive view of bankruptcy in its two most typical versions-which I denominate the Rehabilitative and Pure Redistribution hypotheses, respectively-and argues that neither is consistent with the existing empirical data concerning corporate reorganizations. It then proposes a new thesis about bankruptcy which is inspired not only by the existing data, but also by new theoretical insights: that measures which avoid some kinds of market failures, such as externalities, entail their own kinds of costs, e.g., by fostering holdout behavior. The new thesis-that bankruptcy law tends to waste resources- I denominate the Dissipative thesis
