Patent EP-1357205-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOUAUD ALAIN
IPC: C23G3/02
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: Variation in strip velocity in a treatment section (2) of, e.g., a pickling installation  is compensated by variation in strip length between the treatment section (2) outlet end and a downstream tensioner, so that constant strip length is maintained between the outlet end and an upstream tensioner (61) without perceptible variation in tractive force applied to the strip (4) between tensioners. A metallic strip (4) moves in a longitudinal direction through an installation comprising at least three successive sections, namely a feed section (1), a section (2) for treatment in at least one extended tank containing processing fluid and having an inlet (23) and an outlet located at an upper level and between which the moving band forms a curve (40) whose lower part (43) is located at a lower level that depends on the length of the strip between the inlet (23) and outlet, and a discharge section. The treatment section (2) is connected to an upstream tensioner (61) and a downstream tensioner located before the inlet end (20) and behind the outlet end of the treatment section (2), respectively. Any variation in strip velocity in the treatment section (2) is compensated immediately, at least during strip acceleration or deceleration, by a corresponding variation in the length of the strip between the outlet end of the treatment section (2) and the downstream tensioner, so as to maintain a substantially constant length of the strip between the outlet end of the treatment section (2) and the upstream tensioner (61) without any perceptible variation in the tractive force applied to the strip (4) between the two tensioners.  An Independent claim is given for an installation for implementation of the invented process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction stir welding technique which
avoids occurrence of a dent, in a joining region, extending to
a level beneath the joined surfaces. At end portions of the
frame members (50, 60) to be joined, at the joining region, thickened
parts which project toward the rotary body joining tool (70) are
provided. Two adjoining thickened parts, of adjacent members
to be joined, can form a trapezoid shape. The rotary body
joining tool has a small-diameter tip portion and a larger
diameter portion. The rotary body joining tool is inserted in
the thickened parts. In a state where the rotary body joining
tool has been inserted small-diameter tip end first, to a
level where the larger diameter portion of the rotary body
joining tool overlaps the thickened part but does not extend
below the upper surface of the non-thickened surfaces of the
members joined, the rotary body is rotated and moved along the
joining region. Even when a gap exists between two thickened
parts, a desirable joining can be carried out. After the
joining, the remaining parts of the thickened parts can be
machined so as to form a smooth surface.

gsprite; compositing the at least two gsprites to generate the current image at
the computational rate; repeating the above steps to generate subsequent images
for subsequent computational periods; in a subsequent computational period,

and performing an affine transformation on the first gsprite using the affine
transform, rather than re-rendering the first gsprite in the subsequent
computational period to reduce rendering overhead.
