An ejector is configured to generate a high negative pressure capable of sucking and conveying fine metal pieces or chips, such as machinings or cuttings, for example, when using the ejector as a driving source for a fluid conveyor. The ejector includes a convergent-divergent nozzle having a throat formed between a suction port and a discharge port. Jet blowing holes are formed in the convergent-divergent nozzle to direct a jet stream from upstream of the throat to downstream of the throat, thereby forming a negative pressure. Pressure control holes open to the downstream of the jet blowing holes and are configured to communicate with a pressure space at a pressure level higher than a negative pressure formed by the jet stream and lower than a static pressure of the jet stream and the inside of the convergent-divergent nozzle.

An ejector capable of generating a high negative pressure capable of sucking and conveying fine metal pieces such as cuttings, for example, in a case of using the ejector as a driving source for a fluid conveyor, comprising a convergent-divergent nozzle having a throat formed between a suction port and a discharge port in which jet blowing holes are formed in the convergent-divergent nozzle for jetting a jet stream from the upstream to the downstream of the throat thereby forming a negative pressure, wherein pressure control holes are formed being opened to the downstream of the jet blowing holes for communicating a pressure space at a level higher than a negative pressure formed by the jet stream and lower than a static pressure of the jet stream and the inside of the convergent-divergent nozzle.

A pumping station for pumping a cooling and lubricating fluid containing particulate matter such as machining chips has a compact structure with a relatively low total structural height, while still assuring that the chips are conveyed with the fluid to the pump suction inlet, without settling-out or accumulating in the apparatus. The pumping station (1) includes a collecting container (5) with at least one pump (6) arranged therein, a chip breaker (7) and a supply conduit arrangement. The supply conduit arrangement includes a supply line (2) through which the cooling and lubricating fluid containing the machining chips is received from a machining tool or transfer station. Furthermore, two branch lines (3) and (4) are interposed and connected between the supply line (2) and the collecting container (5). A first branch line (3) conveys the fluid, from which the chips have been removed, with a slight downward slope toward the collecting container (5). The second branch line (4) conveys the chips that have been removed from the fluid flow. A scraper conveyor or the like conveys the chips upward through the second branch line (4), and the outlet end of the branch line (4) is arranged directly above the chip breaker (7), which in turn is arranged above the outlet end of the fluid conveying branch line (3). The comminuted chips thus fall from the breaker (7) directly into the flow of fluid, in which the chips are then entrained and carried along into the sump (13) of the collecting container (5), where the chips and fluid are sucked and pumped away by the pump (6).

A method and system for robust delimiting of messages in switched-carrier operation in which a preamble precedes each message. The preamble comprises symbols transmitted at a rate lower than that of the following data. The lower rate significantly increases the probability that decoding of the preamble symbols will be error-free. Communication line control information can be included in the preamble, thereby ensuring that line control information is reliably transferred over the channel. The preamble's first symbol can be transmitted at the lower symbol rate and at an increased power level, thereby reliably delimiting the beginning of a transmission. The end of the message can be reliably delimited by sending the first symbol which contains only bits from a next cell of information at a lower symbol rate, and including an extra bit in that symbol. The extra bfit can indicate to a receiver when the last cell of information begins.
