Abstract: A device for measuring wear in large roller bearings that have two bearing rings (1 & 2) with space accommodating the rollers (3) between them. The device has an indicator that indicates a prescribed deflection between the rings and a probe (9) that is accommodated in an opening (10) in the outer bearing ring (2) with the end (11) of the probe able to come into contact with one of the surfaces of the inner bearing ring (1). The object is a device that will provide accurate and reliable indications of bearing wear even after years of use, that will be simple in design, and that cannot be damaged or destroyed by outside forces. The inner bearing ring accordingly has a groove (12) facing the probe, and the end of the probe extends into the groove. The surfaces of the groove are as far from the end of the probe as the maximal permissible depth of the wear on the bearing.

Abstract: In a recovery type steam cooled gas turbine, dew
condensation is prevented when feeding steam in a starting
operation of the gas turbine, and penetration of high temperature
combustion gas into a steam cooling passage is prevented. Also,
residual steam is removed in the stopping operation of the gas
turbine. 
     The gas turbine (1) has moving and stationary blade steam
cooling passages (4a, 4b). The steam from steam cooling pipes (9,
10) flows through these passages to cool them. The steam after
cooling is recovered. In the starting operation of the gas turbine,
air from a compressor (2) flows through a valve (15) and a flow rate
regulator (7). Also, a portion of the air is subjected to a
temperature adjustment in a temperature adjuster (5) and flows
through three-way valves (11, 12) to a steam cooling passage (4a,
4b) to be discharged through three-way valves (13, 14) and a flow
rate regulator valve (8) to warm the passages (4a, 4b). Also, valves
(15, 16) are closed and a valve (17) is opened so that outside air or
inert gas from a medium feed source (6) may flow. After the
warming up operation in the starting operation, the three-way
valves (11 to 14) are switched to allow the steam to flow from the
pipes (9, 10) to the passages (4a, 4b) to perform cooling during
regular operation. Furthermore, after the stopping operation, it is
possible to purge the residual steam within the passages (4a, 4b)
with air.

Abstract: The invention relates to a safety circuit for a heating
circuit of a washing machine or dishwasher or of a drier,
wherein the heating circuit includes a series connection
comprising heating switching contact, heating resistor and
safety switch, and wherein a monitoring arrangement
monitors the heating circuit for faults and, in the event
of a fault, causes the heating circuit or the machine to be
switched-off. The operational reliability of the heating
circuit is easily improved as a result of the potentials at
the junctions between the heating switching contact and
heating resistor and/or between the heating resistor and
safety switch being supplied to a logic circuit which, only
when the potential conditions in the heating circuit are
correct, issues no fault signal to switch-off the heating
circuit or the machine.

Abstract: Shingling of paperboard sheets cut from a web with a
helical blade cutoff knife utilizes the downward deflection of
the trailing edge of the cut sheet and simultaneous lifting of
the leading edge of the web to position the sheets for shingling
immediately downstream of the knife. A vacuum outfeed conveyor
takes advantage of the initial downward deflection of the sheet
caused by cutting to pull the trailing edge of the sheet onto the
vacuum conveyor which is simultaneously slowed relative to the
lead edge of the advancing web. In the preferred embodiment,
vacuum is continuously applied and the conveyor is accelerated
back to line speed as soon as the leading end of the web is
pulled onto the vacuum conveyor.

Abstract: Improved non-linear-transition-shifts (NLTS) and overwrite (OVW)
are provided in a magnetic write head (120) that exhibits a high deep gap-field
(Bg), and a very flat saturation region in its Bg-v-Iw curve. This is
achieved by having two or more width-slope-break-points, also called
confluence-points or confluence zones, in the head's yoke geometry. 
     The write head's top yoke (122)(i.e., the yoke member having a narrow
tip region (139) that defines the head's track width (138)) is shaped in its multiple
confluence region (141,142) such that the yoke contracts, funnels, or narrows in a
number of stages, such that a long region or zone (140) of the yoke abruptly
saturates when an optimum value of Bg is reached. This long saturated
zone prevents the Bg from exceeding the optimum value.

Abstract: A line driver comprising a first transistor (M1), a first operational transconductance amplifier (A1) and a reference resistor (10) for converting an input voltage (Vin) to a first current (i1) through the first transistor (M1). A second current i2=n*i1 flows through a second transistor (M2) which forms a 1:n current mirror with the first transistor (M1). The current i2 flows to a load (6), if so required via a transmission line (TL). The impendance of the load (6) is equal to the characteristic impedance RL of the transmission line (TL). Thus, the impedance seen by the line driver is equal to RL. A second operational transconductance amplifier (A2) counteracts reflected signals in the output signal (Vout) caused by mismatch between the output impedance of the current mirror (M1, M2) and the impendance seen by the line driver.

Abstract: A one-shot throwaway injection device has a barrel (6, 7) that houses a syringe (1) initially in a retracted state held back by a trigger (18) against a drive spring (13). Actuation of the trigger causes the syringe to be thrust forwards by the spring acting on its plunger (3) until the needle (2) is fully projecting, and then the dose is ejected by the final expansion of the spring. Release of the trigger allows a return spring (12) to urge the syringe back and retract the needle. The barrel is a unitary plastics moulding of two longitudinally split halves (6, 7) hinged together with the trigger (18) integrally formed with one of these halves. The other components (the springs (12, 13) and the syringe (1)) are positioned in one half which is then closed up and fastened to the other half to complete the barrel.

Ces clés permettent de faire correspondre des structures de données équivalentes entre des bases de données à distance et centrales, de façon que les données de mise en valeur provenant de la base de données centrale puissent être superposées sur la base de données du client. Ces clés permettent également une mise à jour plus efficace des données de la base de données d'un client, étant donné que la correspondance de clés ne permet que le transfert des données requises pour la mise à jour la base de données du client. La base de données centrale peut contenir physiquement toutes les données de mise en valeur, ou peut mettre en oeuvre un gestionnaire de base de données centrale afin de lier de manière transparente un groupe de bases de données situées physiquement à distance, au moyen des clés permanentes. Il est possible de transférer des données de la base de données centrale vers la base de données d'un client, soit en mode par lots, soit en mode en temps réel proche, par l'intermédiaire d'une jointure directe de tables. La caractéristique de liaison des clés permanentes permet en outre la liaison de la base de données d'un client avec la base de données centrale, aux fins de création d'une base de données pluridimensionnelle.

Abstract: Packaging for at least two tablet shaped objects, especially detergent or cleansing agent tablets, in the form of a closed foil bag. The aim of the invention is to improve said packaging in as simple a manner possible in order to prevent several tablets in the same packaging from being damaged while at the same time allowing for all tablets contained in said packaging to be removed in a single opening process. This is achieved by dividing the interior of the foil bag (1) into a number of areas (5, 6) corresponding to the amount of tablets (4) that are to be accommodated. Each area is separated from by a seam (7, 7', 7'') which prevents the adjacent tablets (4) from coming into contact with each other. The seam (7, 7', 7'') extends between the accommodating areas (5, 6) at certain points only, whereby a seamless zone (8, 8', 8'') is created. A tear-off line (9, 9', 9'') is also provided, touching all of the accommodating areas (5, 6) along the seamless zones (8, 8', 8'') when torn.

Abstract: A nickel-cadmium battery electrode structure is produced by stacking fibrous electrodes with an interposed separator material which has a different gas permeability in different directions and has cavities for temporary gas storage. A nickel-cadmium battery electrode structure is produced by stacking fibrous positive and negative electrode plates with interposed separator material to form an electrode packet, connecting electrodes of the same type together by pole bridges and pressing the electrode packet to compress and fix the separator material in a shape stable state. The separator material has a different gas permeability in different directions at least in the pressed and fixed state, so that gas transfer is prevented in the direction parallel to the surface of the electrode plates but is possible in the transverse direction, and has cavities for temporary storage of gas. An Independent claim is also included for a nickel-cadmium battery electrode structure produced by the above stacking, electrode connection and compression operations, the electrode packet being positioned between mechanical clamping elements. Preferred Features: The separator material is a fiber fleece of permanently elastic material.

Abstract: A speed-increasing and accumulating conveyor chain
includes a large-diameter mounting roller and small-diameter
traveling rollers that are loosely fitted concentrically around
a connecting pin through over an oil-impregnated sintered oil
bushing concentrically. A lubricating oil is gradually
discharged from the oil-impregnated sintered bushing, so that
the chain can travel with a small chain-driving force as a
whole while stably maintaining low friction coefficients at the
loosely fitted portions between the connecting pin, the
bushing, the mounting roller and the traveling rollers. The
chain can, therefore, perform the speed-increasing function and
the accumulating function by means of the mounting roller and
the traveling rollers.

Abstract: A method for pattern-etching thick alumina layers is disclosed, typically for use
in the manufacture of thin film heads (TFH) by using compatible metallic mask layers
(42, 44, 46) and a dilute (1:2) HF in water etchant. The deep alumina etching
facilitates a studless TFH device where the coil and bonding pads (38) are deposited and
patterned simultaneously, and vias are later etched through the alumina overcoat layer
(40) to expose the bonding pads. The method also enables the etching of scribe-line
grooves (13) of street and alleys across the wafer for sawing and machining of sliders.
These grooves eliminate most alumina chipping due to stress and damage introduced by
the sawing and machining operations. Similarly, pattern-etching of the alumina
undercoat (12) facilitates the formation of precise craters for recessed structures. These
can improve planarity and alleviate problems related to adverse topography and elevated
features of TFH devices.
