Abstract: A continuous process line for converting hot rolled stainless steel strip to final gauge product is provided. The stainless steel strip has a scale formed on the surface thereof. The steel strip is introduced to a rolling mill to reduce the thickness of the hot rolled stainless steel to a final gauge thickness and tolerance. The rolling mill also cracks the scale on the surface of the final gauge thickness strip. An annealing section anneals the final gauge thickness strip received from the rolling mill. A pickling section pickles the annealed strip from the annealing section and removes the scale from the surface. Preferably, a molten salt bath section provided between the annealing section and the pickling section conditions the scale cracked in the cold rolling section and passes the conditioned stainless steel to the pickling section.

Abstract: A machine for stretching material, esp. thermoplastic films, in the axial direction comprises parallel stretching rolls (2,3,4) and a pressure roll (10) carried on a pair of supports (9) swivelling on an axle (8) parallel to the axes (2a',4a') of the input and/or output stretching rolls (2,4). A piston and cylinder unit (11) connected to the supports (9) moves the pressure roll (10) to and from the stretching rolls (2,4). The pair of supports (9) swivel through an arc (17) around the middle axis (2a',4a') of the stretching rolls (2,4) and can be locked at either end position (I,II). In a claimed cost saving variation the pressure roll is carried on a device formed by two single arms which rotate around the central axis of the stretching rolls. Each arm has a longitudinal guide running radial to the central axes in which the pressure roll can both rotate and move axially parallel to the stretching roller. A piston and cylinder unit on each arm is connected to the pressure roll. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A force actuator (11) is connected between a vehicle body (15) and each vehicle wheel (16). A position sensor (66) senses displacement between the vehicle body and each vehicle wheel and provides a position signal (67) indicative thereof. An acceleration sensor (60) senses vertical inertial acceleration of the vehicle body relative to ground at each vehicle wheel and provides an acceleration signal (61) indicative of vertical inertial acceleration of the vehicle body at each vehicle wheel. A controller (70) including a digital signal processor (80) determines a velocity signal based on each acceleration signal. The controller determines a plurality of modal forces including heave, pitch, and roll modal forces which act on the vehicle body. The plurality of modal forces vary as a function of the position and velocity signals at the vehicle wheels. A force actuator control signal (94) at each vehicle wheel is produced which varies as a function of the plurality of modal forces. A drive circuit (95) processes the force actuator signal at each wheel and applies the processed force actuator control signal (96) at each vehicle wheel to the associated force actuator.

Abstract: In low-power-dissipation CMOS circuitry, conventional CMOS inverters (18,20) are powered by a repetitively ramped power supply (VPPS). Clock signals are needed in the circuitry for controlling data flow therein. To ensure optimal low-power operation of the circuitry, clock signals (26,28) are derived directly from the ramped power supply waveform (24) itself. Additionally, a technique similar to that employed in the clock-signal-generating arrangement is utilized to propagate digital data signals between chips in a low-power way.

A controller (11, 12) of the first data communication device controls the transmitter so that the transmitter again transmits, when the subsidiary reception data are not coincident with the original communication data, the infrared ray which carries the original communication data. Preferably, the reflector is a hemispherical mirror.

Abstract: A distributed lightning detection system comprises a plurality of lightning detection stations (10,12,14) located at different positions with respect to a common frame of reference with the position of at least one detection station (10,12) being mobile with respect to the common frame of reference. Each station includes a lightning strike detector (30), first and second receivers (40,56), a processor (32), and a transmitter (60). The first receiver (40) receives signals from at least one common transmitting system, preferably the GPS system, for establishing a common lightning position and occurrence time frame of references for all of the stations. The processor (32) is governed by a strike indication signal generated by the detector (30) and determines the time of occurrence of the detected lightning strike and the station's own position corresponding thereto. The processor (32) is further operative to generate a report for each detected strike including data of time of occurrence, station's own position and a bearing signal from the detector corresponding to each strike. The bearing signal of the mobile stations is compensated for the station's mobility. The transmitter (60) transmits the strike reports over a data link to other lightning detection stations. The second receiver (56) receives the strike reports from other lightning detection stations over the data link and provides same to the processor (32). The processor (32) correlates received strike reports with detected strike reports to determine reports generated from common lightning strikes and computes a range from the station to each of the common lightning strikes based on the data of the correlated strike reports corresponding thereto.

Abstract: A component of color difference signal is detected from a video component signal, and its color saturation information is compared with a predetermined threshold level, then in response to the comparison result, information is generated in order to control phase modulation such as, when the information is smaller than the threshold level, phases of color burst signals are modulated during a specified period, and when the information is larger than the threshold level, the phase stays as standard. The generated information is added to the color video signal. These steps can avoid unpleasant striped color noises appeared on a conventional color TV receiver, the unpleasant striped color noises has been caused by a modified color burst signal without the above steps.

Abstract: A process for liquefying natural gas containing mercaptans. Mercaptans are concentrated into a distillate stream by distilling the feed gas stream without specific pretreatment for mercaptans removal.
