Abstract: An improved direct-acting hydraulic valve-lifter (DAHVL) (74) has features including reduced dead oil storage with lower mass and faster filling, improved air venting, internal oil re-circulation and aimed oil supply that combine to reduce the presence of air in the valve-lifter (74). Foam filling and baffle re-configuration are included amongst means for reducing stored oil volume which can also improve the support for a cylinder (83) of the follower (75). Means (94) for venting along the piston (90) and the cylinder (83) of the valve-lifter (74) are shown. The various features combine to limit air intake to the valve-lifter (74) and to more quickly expel air which does enter the valve-lifter (74).

Abstract: In order to eliminate components and fixtures, facilitate assembly, avoid leaks, and reduce cost in a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between two fluids such as a coolant and oil, the heat exchanger includes a header plate (24) having a central opening defined by a column integrally formed with the header plate (24) together with a radial opening (30). A plurality of heat exchange units (32) are stacked on the header plate. The heat exchange units (32) each comprise a pair of plates (34, 36) joined together at inner and outer peripheral edges to thereby sealingly define a plurality of first chambers (42) for the flow of one of the fluids wherein a column-receiving opening (44) is provided radially inwardly of the first chambers (42) thereof. The heat exchange units (42) further include aligned first openings (46) and aligned second openings (48) on opposite sides of the column-receiving openings for joining the first chambers in a first fluid flow path, and the radial opening in the header plate comprises a first fluid inlet for directing the first fluid through one of the first openings into the first fluid flow path where it flows until it reaches a first fluid outlet therefor. The heat exchange units are stacked on the header plate about the column where they are arranged in a spaced series by spacers which serve to define a plurality of second chambers (54) for the flow of the second fluid between each pair of the spaced series of heat exchange units. A tank (56) covers the heat exchange units stacked on the header plate. With this arrangement, the tank (56) is integrally secured to the header plate and to the column to sealingly confine the second chambers (54), and it has an inlet (62) for directing the second fluid into the second chambers (54) and an outlet (64) for receiving the second fluid from the second chambers after it has flowed through a second fluid flow path.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for lift-off of a portion of a metal layer (4) of a first substance in which this first layer portion is formed on a substrate of a dielectric polymer with interposition of a corresponding portion of an intermediate layer (2). This process comprises the following steps:   - selecting the material of the intermediate layer so that it presents an interface having low adherence with the metal layer, - applying a mechanical stress to the structure which results in a disbonding at the level of the said interface,   - removing the intermediate layer chemically.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a remotely optically powered fiber optic switch, e.g. in a fiber optic network, and a GRIN-rod (Graded-Refractive-Index-rod) lens (90) with integrated panar mirror (98) as switching element, in particular suited for fiber optic switches. A distribution panel (30), in which the switching element, a wavelength-division demultiplexer (33), a light-into-current converter (34) and an actuator (92) for the switching element are situated, is remotely optically powered from a station (35) in the network. Part of this station is a laser diode (31) which feeds a powering lightwave via a wavelength-division multiplexer (32) into an optical fiber interconnecting the station (35) with the distribution panel (30), which fiber can also be used for data transmission. The light-into-current converter receives the powering lightwave and generates en electric current for driving the actuator and moving the switching element. A GRIN-rod lens with integrated planar mirror serves as switching element by rotating it in a ferrule (91) and establishing different light paths depending on the position of the integrated mirror with respect to lightwaves optically coupled to the end facets of the GRIN-rod. 
For the above described GRIN-rod with mirror a special Shape-Memory-Alloy (SMA) actuator is based on a new technology using the Shape-Memory-Effect (SME) of Ti-Ni or Cu-Zn-Al alloys. 
Depending of the temperature, SMAs have two phases (austenite and martensite). The alloy, in our embodiments simple wires, can be given a distinct geometric shape in each phase. Switching the actuator from its parent shape (austenite phase) to its intermediate shape (martensite phase) is simply effected by rising the temperature of the wire. The parent shape is obtained again by lowering the temperature. The SME allows fast transition from one phase to the other and shape reversal has been demonstrated to be above 1 million cycles without fatigue. 
Depending on the alloy composition, the transition temperature can be chosen in the range of -200 to +150 degree C, thus allowing a considerable margin in operational temperatures. Heating of the SMA is usually accomplished by passing an electric current through the material, herein refered to as resistive heating.

Abstract: The projectile shuttle loom has a weft insertion device (100) with a torsion bar (101), the zero position of which can be adjusted by means of an adjusting lever (110) and a servo-drive (1). Arranged between a sliding face (111b) of the adjusting lever (110) and a fixed sliding face (121a) is a rigid, for example wedge-shaped intermediate body (10) which can be moved by means of the servo-drive (1). The movement of the intermediate body (10) causes a pivoting movement of the adjusting lever (110) which changes the zero position. A force originating from the adjusting lever (110) is guided onto the fixed sliding face (121a) by the intermediate body (10). This is advantageous because forces and impacts originating from the torsion bar (101) consequently do not act or act only to a slight extent on the servo-drive (1), but are received or absorbed by a housing (120), without damage thereby being caused. The weft-insertion device (100) according to the invention makes it possible to regulate the zero position of the torsion bar during operation. Before a planned interruption of operation, the zero position can be varied in such a way that, in the event of a subsequent cold start, the torsion bar (101) is tensioned to a greater extent and thus an initial impairment of the lubrication of the weft-insertion device (100) is compensated.

IPC: H01J9/39

Abstract: A method is described for the automatic determination of the time when barium starts to evaporate, or "start time", of barium evaporable getters. A temperature difference measurement is made of the temperature of the glass wall (105) outside the getter location by means of a sensor (110) preferably comprising an infrared pyrometer calibrated on a wave length of about 10µm suitable for measuring temperatures of 0-500°C. Under these conditions the temperature curve measured, through an integral function, follows the behaviour of the temperature of the getter which reveals a typical behaviour at the moment in which barium starts to evaporate. Once Δ T has been calculated from the analysis of a series of experimental test results on the integral curve, that value corresponds to the start time. 
     The measurement of temperature is transformed into a suitably amplified voltage this giving a value of Δ V corresponding to the start time. This can then be used to automatically regulate the R.F. generator power level to obtain a constant start time or to regulate the total time of evaporation of the getter so as to obtain a constant barium yield.

<??>The previously known hydration by means of mineral acids or carboxylic acids as catalyst results in poor space-time yields and/or poor selectivities. These disadvantages can be avoided when a dissolved acid/base buffer is used as catalyst which results in a pH of 2 to 5 in the reaction mixture and whose acid component and the corresponding base are present in the reaction mixture in an amount of 0.5 to 40% by weight in total.

Abstract: The milling depth of a road milling machine (1) is typically controlled solely by the vertical adjustment of its rear travelling mechanism (4) on the basis of a milling-depth control signal which is produced by a scanning ski by scanning a reference plane.
