Patent WO-9004803-A1 (WO)
Inventor: BRUNSWICK ROBERT
IPC: G02B6/35
Filed: 1989-10-23
Abstract: Interrupteur optique comprenant un corps (14) servant au logement d'une extrémité d'une fibre optique et un élément (20) fournissant une face réfléchissante (21), disposée de manière à réfléchir au moins une partie de la lumière reçue en provenance de l'extrémité arrière de la fibre, le long de cette fibre. Cet élément (20) est déplaçable par rapport au corps (14) renfermant la fibre, au moyen d'un champ magnétique, électrique ou électromagnétique appliqué extérieurement, de manière à opérer un déplacement relatif de la face réfléchissante (21) entre deux positions différentes par rapport à l'extrémité de la fibre. Le procédé de montage d'un tel interrupteur consiste à ajuster l'élément (20) de manière à faire varier le déplacement de la face réfléchissante (21) par rapport à l'extrémité (13) de la fibre (12) jusqu'à ce qu'une valeur désirée plus élevée du signal réfléchi soit détectée dans la fibre. Un second élément (22) est alors placé sur le corps (14) renfermant la fibre, un ressort ou analogue étant prévu pour solliciter élastiquement la face réfléchissante (21), afin de maintenir la valeur plus élevée précitée. Un champ extérieur magnétique, électrique ou électromagnétique est appliqué pour déplacer la face réfléchissante (21) vers une nouvelle position par rapport à l'extrémité (13) de la fibre, puis le second élément (22) est ajusté par rapport au corps (14) renfermant la fibre, pour faire varier cette nouvelle position jsuqu'à ce qu'une valeur désirée plus faible du signal réfléchi soit détectée dans la fibre.

Title: System and process for optimizing cooling in continuous casting mold
Inventor: SEARS JAMES B
IPC: B22D11/22
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: An improved process of operating a continuous casting mold of the type that includes at least one mold surface and at least one coolant passage that is in thermal communication with the mold surface includes determining based on at least one factor whether it would be most advantageous to direct coolant through the coolant passage in a first direction or in a second, opposite direction. For example, if the mold liner is beneath a predetermined thickness it may be advantageous to circulate the coolant so that it enters the water jacket and the coolant slots that are defined in the mold liner at the bottom and exiting from the top so that there is some prewarming of the coolant before it reaches the meniscus region. Conversely, if the mold liner is thicker it may be desirable to introduce the coolant at the top of the water jacket, thus enhancing the cooling effect in the meniscus region.

Title: Exercise apparatus
Inventor: OOSTHUIZEN ALBERTUS DANIEL
IPC: A63B21/02
Filed: 1991-02-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus, and in particular relates to an exercise apparatus which advantageously comprises a single device which can be used for a plurality of different exercises. Presently known exercise apparatus, such as, for example, weightstacks, free weights, etc., are bulky and expensive. In order to carry out a complete exercise routine it is usually necessary to have a large amount of apparatus, i.e., weight bench, squat stands, barbells, dumbells, in the case of free weights, and in the case of weightstacks usually a number of different machines are needed to exercise each body part. The present invention provides an exercise apparatus which can provide an overall body workout with a single piece of apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a double lever arrangement attached to a base. Each lever arrangement is attached to the base by means of a universal joint. The levers in the lever arrangement are attached to each other by a hinge joint. The whole apparatus in some ways resembles the human shoulder girdle and arm arrangement. Resistance is provided by a power spring housed in the 'shoulder joint', and may be varied by altering the position of the point of action for resistance on the double lever arrangement.

Title: Method and arrangement to rapidly lower the rotary speed of a centrifugal separator
Inventor: NYBERG SVEN-OLOF
IPC: B04B9/14
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: In a method of rapidly lowering the rotary speed of a rotating rotor body in a centrifugal separator the lowering of the rotary speed is initiated, when a disturbing unbalance or vibrations have occurred. A space between the rotor body and a stationary casing which surrounds the rotor body is supplied with foam or with an aerosol of a liquid in a gas, when unbalance or vibrations over a certain level have occurred. The rotor body is retarded by the friction, which is obtained between the rotor body, the foam or aerosol and the casing. In an arrangement to lower the rotary speed of a rotating rotor body in a centrifugal separator the lowering is initiated when a disturbing unbalance or disturbing vibrations has occurred. At a certain unbalance or certain vibration level, a foam generating device or a device that creates an aerosol for the purpose of filling a space between the rotor body and a casing which surrounds the same with foam or aerosol is activated.

Title: Method for the producing chalcogenide () glass
Inventor: KHIMINETS VASILIJ V
IPC: C03C3/12
Filed: 1987-12-08
Abstract: The method is applicable in the production of tellurium-containing chalcogenide glass. Its primary function is to process information. The produced glass is highly homogeneous and exhibits an excellent crystallisation capacity. Following the method, the charge is molten in air-free conditions. Thereafter, it is homogenised, cooled, annealed and eventually cooled to room temperature. The charge undergoes melting at temperatures exceeding that of the liquidus by 300 to 350 degrees C. The homogenisation of the melt lasts between 10 and 20 hours. Then, the melt is cooled at a rate of (3.0-3.6) x 10<5> degrees C per hour to a temperature that is 50 to 60 degrees C lower than the glass formation temperature. The temperature maintained, the annealing continues for 2 to 6 hours, followed by the cooling process at a speed of 100-150 degrees C per hour.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           A method and reagent system for determining the amount of an aminotransferase present in a biological test sample.  The aminotransferase is determined by contacting a test sample containing an aminotransferase with its corresponding amino acid, a ketoacid, a dehydrogenase or a reductase, and a reduced form of thionicotinamide adenine dinculeotide or an analog thereof to form a liquid mixture thereof.  The visible absorbance of the liquid mixture is measured and correlated to the amount of aminotransferase present in the test sample.  The method and reagent system of the present invention are particularly useful for determining alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.

Abstract: A cable television converter with remotely modifiable functionality receives firmware downloaded over a cable television network. The integrity of the firmware is verified, and if valid, the firmware is executed to provide one or more converter functions. If the firmware is invalid, default operation software contained in ROM is executed instead of the firmware to return the converter to baseline operation. In one embodiment, the converter includes a frequency agile data receiver to receive control instructions on a first data channel and firmware on a second data channel. The receiver is forced back to the first channel if a successful firmware download does not occur on the second channel within a predetermined time period. The firmware is continuously transmitted in short segments, and the converter can continue to receive segments until all the segments of a designated firmware package have been successfully downloaded, unless the predetermined time limit expires sooner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: MULTI-FUEL ENGINE CONTROL WITH INITIAL DELAY          Abstract of the Disclosure A fuel control for an engine using a liquid fuel mixture of two fuels such as gasoline and alcohol has a fuel composition sensor and stores a fuel composition value derived from the sensor near the end of one period of engine operation.  That value is used in place of the actual fuel composition sensor output for a predetermined time at the start of the next period of engine operation.  The predetermined time is at least long enough for the fuel movement caused by the fuel pump to remix separated fuel in the vicinity of the fuel composition sensor and may conveniently be the period of time from the initiation of fuel pump activity until the time that fuel from the tank would be expected to at least reach the sensor.
