A comparison and evaluation of innovative parabolic trough collector concepts for large-scale application
TL;DR: Results show that collectors operating with molten salts, instead of thermo-oil, have a significant techno-economic potential for utility scale application, for instance, the Molten Salt Trough, the UltimateTrough and the SkyFuelDSP (dispatchable solar power) as forerunners of their respective categories.

TL;DR: Method of grinding elongated, cylindrical workpieces in continuous operation in a grinding machine wherein the workpieces are advanced while they are rotated about their longitudinal axes includes exerting an oscillating grinding pressure transversely to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece, and adjusting the frequency of the oscillations to lie substantially in low-to-medium frequency range, outside the frequency ranges of resonant vibrations of parts of workpiece and of the grinding machine.
