Abstract: An extrusion system utilizes single or tandem extruders and a mixer-cooler to extrude a foamable extrudate through a die in a sealable chamber. The foamable extrudate is shaped and calibrated within the chamber. The die is mounted on the end of a gel tube projecting through a gland seal in a fixed bulkhead forming the upstream end of the chamber. The gel tube and mixer-cooler are mounted on a movable carriage, movement of which may be used to adjust the die with respect to shaping and calibrating equipment inside the chamber. The mixer-cooler achieves a selected narrow range of uniform viscosity of the melt at the die depending on the size of the product and density. The chamber is preferably a vacuum chamber producing low density foams. The product exits the chamber to atmosphere on a continuous basis through a submerged orifice in a water baffle immersion seal. The mixer-cooler enables a large size low density product to be produced with uniform cellular structure without cell collapse or density gradients, as the product is subjected to the pressure and temperature transformations passing from the chamber to atmosphere through the water. The seal includes the submerged orifice with a free wheeling guiding system upstream of the orifice. Immediately ahead of the guiding system, the parameters of the foam extrudate are sensed to control the configuration of the orifice on a continuous basis. Before the extrudate passes into the water baffle seal it moves over a floating dancer roll, the position of which controls a haul-off such as a vacuum belt at the tail end of the system. This avoids pushing on the extrudate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an elevator system for which maintenance is tailored for each of the individual hardware components of the elevator. A maintenance system groups together hardware components having approximately identical maintenance needs, and stores these groups along with the appropriate maintenance data for these groups in a storage area. The maintenance data stored in connection with each group includes maintenance time-points that indicate the times when the group of components should be maintained. The storage area of the maintenance system can be accessed and changed by remote devices. Components needing more maintenance are store in different groups from components needing less maintenance, thereby reducing unnecessary maintenance of elevator components.

Abstract: A process for continuously casting a thin metal strip controls has jets directed at casting rollers using sensor feedback. Sensor feedback can be taken directly from the rollers, or can be determined indirectly by sensing a condition of the thin metal strip. Surface conditions are controlled over a longitudinal extent of the rollers through locally controlled gas jets. The feedback control of the roller surfaces provides a more uniform casting surface and a more consistent output from the casting surface.

Abstract: Not all gas diffusion structures known to date can guarantee water balance compensation in the fuel cell, protection against drying and prevention of water deposits while simultaneously ensuring even distribution of reaction gases. In the gas diffusion structure, according to the invention, a gradient is produced in terms of gas permeability perpendicular to the membrane by way of a stratified system. This guarantees, at an appropriate operating temperature and appropriate stoichiometry of the reactants, constant and optimal humidification in all points of the membrane by the formed product water. Additional humidification systems can thus be discarded.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring technical interference fields acting on live organisms, especially on humans on site by way of battery-powered measuring instruments. The disturbing effect is measured as a voltage. In the lower frequency range, conductor-accompanying range of interference, high-impedance potential differences are detected: In the high-frequency range, approximately the optimum antenna voltage is detected, and in both ranges, at least one additional disturbing parameter is detected. In order to measure the potentials of parts of installations, especially the ground potentials of appliances or ground wires, in those areas where people live or work, the potentials are measured in volt AC via a voltage measuring device which has a high input resistance of greater than 100 M OMEGA . The capacitative connecting voltage is determined in relation to a ground potential of an appliance. Possible potential differences are determined in relation to a biological ground. The voltage measuring device is provided with corresponding measuring entries. The locations of disturbing effects caused by inhomogeneous interference fields are also detected in relation to possible inhomogeneous magnetic field effects on a broad basis. The local disturbing effect is detected and indicated simultaneously in relation to its high and low frequency ELF components.
