Abstract: A ballast tamping machine comprises a machine frame supported on a track by undercarriages for moving in an operating direction, a track lifting and lining unit mounted on the machine frame and operable to correct the track position, a reference system controlling lifting and lining of the track by the track lifting and lining unit, and two adjoining tamping heads arranged sequentially on the machine frame in the longitudinal direction at a respective track rail. Each tamping head comprises ballast tamping tools reciprocable towards each other in the longitudinal direction at the gage side and the field side of the rail, drives for vertically adjusting the ballast tamping tools of each tamping head independently of the vertical adjustment of the ballast tamping tools of the other tamping head for immersing tamping picks on the ballast tamping tools in the ballast underneath the track. The tamping picks on the ballast tamping tools of only one of the tamping heads are pivotal in a plane extending transversely to the longitudinal direction about an axis extending at least approximately in the longitudinal direction to adapt the one tamping head for operation in switches, and pivoting drives are linked to the tamping picks on the ballast tamping tools of the one tamping head for pivoting the same.\!

Abstract: A composite powder specially adapted for use in selective laser sintering is disclosed. The composite powder includes a polymer powder dry mixed with a reinforcement powder, where the polymer powder has a melting temperature substantially lower than that of the reinforcement powder. In the case where nearfully dense parts are to be formed, the first constituent powder is preferably a semi-crystalline powder, for example nylon 11, of a composition suitable for forming near-fully dense parts when used unblended in selective laser sintering; if porous parts are desired, the polymer powder is an amorphous powder, such as polycarbonate, polystyrene, acrylates, and styrene/acrylate copolymers. The reinforcement powder is preferably microspheres of glass, preferably coated to enhance wetting and adhesion with the polymer powder when selective laser sintering is performed. Besides improving the stiffness and heat resistance of the part produced, the composite powder widens the process window over that provided by unblended powder, provides improved dimensional accuracy in the part produced, and facilitates roughbreakout and smooth finishing of the part produced.

Abstract: A method of making an expanded metal sandwich structure (42) includes cleaning the appropriate parts prior to each bonding step in the process to remove metal oxides and residues that would interfere with the bonding steps. The core sheets (44, 46) are placed face-to-face and a gas pressure line fitting (52) is inserted between one edge and is welded into place. The core sheets (44, 46) are pressed together and laser welded together into a core pack (45) along lines which will form junction lines between the core sheets (44, 46) when the core pack (45) is superplastically expanded. Two metal face sheets (48, 50) having superplastic characteristics are placed over and under the core pack (45). An envelope gas fitting (54) is placed between the face sheets and is welded in place while seal welding around the entire peripheral edges of the face sheets (48, 50) and the core pack (45) to produce a sealed envelope pack (47) enveloping the core pack (45).

Abstract: The improvement to the gas meter comprises a mechanism for controlling when the gas control valve should be shut-off and thereby alleviate the drain upon the battery which is used to drive the electronic circuitry within the gas meter. The gas meter comprises a base meter module 1 which has associated therewith a add-on module 2 which when connected to the base meter module 1 communicates to the base meter module via an optical interface 7, 8. The add-on module 2 includes a central processing unit 9 which is arranged to calculate a volume index threshold shut-off value which is transmitted to the base meter module 1 and is stored within the control system 5. During meter operation, the base meter module 1 monitors the volume index value and when that value is equal to or greater than the value stored in the control system, the base meter module 1 causes the gas valve 6 to operate and thereby close the valve and shut-off the gas supply to the meter. This method of monitoring volume index in the base meter module uses less power than continually transferring information across greater periodicity and therefore the battery life is extended. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The head is used with magnetic tape which has a number of close parallel tracks. A magneto-optical transducer (18) has a narrow straight gap (34') in a magnetic circuit and a continuous, preferably anisotropic, magnetic film (32) extending along the length of the straight gap. A beam of light (12), used to read the tape, is incident to the read head and very close to the linear gap (34'). The beam is modulated by the magnetic film and falls on a linear photo-sensitive detector so following of the tape tracks is made easier by the continuous film. Reading of the tracks is performed by the relative displacement of the detector with respect to the image projected by the beam of light on the detector without movement of the head with respect to the magnetic tape.

Abstract: The process of the invention allows, through a unique process of data extraction, to experimentally obtain a mathematical relationship between Iled, T and Vout for all equal photocells belonging to a given technological family, in this way guaranteeing, through the use of appropriate process of control based on the variation of the supply current of the LED, the correct operation of the photocells. In fact, such a process allows to optimize, through an initial acquisition process, the operation of the photocell in function of the specific operating conditions, in order to determine, in an automatic way and in a relatively short time span, the optimum supply current which should circulate in the emission LED so that the photocell, in those particular operating conditions, may recognize a particular object. This process allows the subsequent implementation of a thermal compensation "appropriate" for the supply current which circulates in the emission LED. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The apparatus stimulates the muscles of a seat occupant. The apparatus includes a flexible supporting element adapted to be coupled to a seat for movement relative thereto and driving means for automatically and repeatedly moving the flexible supporting element through an adjustment cycle. The adjustment cycle includes a plurality of first incremental movements in a first direction followed by a plurality of second incremental movements in a second direction. Each of the first and second incremental movements are separated by a first time interval. The method relieves muscle fatigue in a seat occupant by incrementally adjusting the curvature of the supporting element and generally includes the steps of placing a supporting element in a first position operatively engaging a muscle of the seat occupant wherein the first position defines a first degree of curvature of the supporting element. The method further includes automatically adjusting the curvature of the supporting element according to an adjustment cycle that includes maintaining the first degree of curvature for a first time period, increasing the degree of curvature a first amount after the first time period to define a second degree of curvature, maintaining the second degree of curvature for a second time period, and decreasing the degree of curvature of the supporting element a second amount after the second time period to define a third degree of curvature wherein the first time period is equal to the second time period.
