Abstract: Appareil de surveillance optique permettant de déterminer si un fil est en mouvement ou non dans une direction déterminée, dans une région éclairée par une ou plusieurs sources de lumière. Ladite région constitue une partie, qui est éclairée par la source de lumière (5), d'un canal (2) pourvu de parois (4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12) réfléchissant la lumière, dans lequel le fil s'étend. Au moins un élément photosensible (8, 9) est placé dans ladite partie du canal (2) de façon que les axes optiques (13, 14, 15) de la source de lumière (5) et l'élément photosensible (8, 9) forment un angle. Le couplage optique entre la source de lumière (5) et l'élément photosensible (8, 9) subit l'influence des vibrations se produisant dans le fil pendant son déplacement, par exemple des microvibrations, et les modifications du couplage optique se traduisent par des variations d'amplitude d'un signal émis par l'élément photosensible (8, 9).

Abstract: Les objets personnels en cuir, tels que portefeuilles, porte-monnaie et calendriers de poche, présentent une section devant se plier très souvent. Ce pliage répété cause des fissures et une très forte usure, ce qui nuit à l'esthétique de l'objet et en réduit la durée d'utilisation. On décrit une charnière mécanique se fixant sur les côtés en cuir de ces objets personnels. La charnière (20) comporte une série d'articulations imbriquées (32) constituées d'un matériau relativement tendre et formant le long de la charnière un trou (34) qui reçoit une mince tige (80) faite en matériau assez rigide mais faisant ressort. Cette tige est plus courte que le trou (34) où elle est maintenue aux extrémités par des obturateurs (90) rapportés ou intégrés au volet de la charnière (30). Les volets (30) de charnière (20) présentent une forme globale courbe et des surfaces concaves et convexes permettant aux côtés (12) auxquels la charnière (20) est fixée de rester parallèles lorsqu'on y insère un contenu. On décrit des solutions de rechange, y compris un troisième côté comprenant un dos semblable à une reliure de livre (45) ou un corps (48) composé d'une série d'articulations (32) fixées indépendamment et des parties tubulaires (40a) constituant à leur tour un deuxième corps déployable et semblable à une charnière.

Abstract: Variable-geometry rectangular air intake for high Mach numbers, having an inlet flow part which extends downstream of a shock wave ramp leading edge, a diffuser part adjoining said part, and a pivotable adjusting ramp which permits variation of the air throughflow. The adjusting ramp 12 has an axis 12a of rotation in the rear diffuser part 15, forms the lower termination of the diffuser part 15 and exhibits a continuous range of adjustments, from complete opening at high Mach numbers to complete closure, e.g. during the boost phase. During opening of the adjusting ramp 12, the attendant widening of the inlet flow cross-section permits an increasing internal supersonic compression. An auxiliary flap 17 which extends below the adjusting ramp 12 up to a connecting web 16 arranged between the side walls 11 guarantees that the lower flow termination is of low resistance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to monitor a process, and thereby to control it, it is necessary to identify parameters which reliably reflect the state of the process, and which can be conveniently measured on a regular basis. In the case of a photographic process, it is common to illustrate the photographic response of a particular film, following development in that process, by a curve, sometimes called the "characteristic curve" for the material being measured, representing the relationship between developed density and the logarithm of exposure. Described herein is an improved process control system which utilises the characteristic curve in the form of the equation: 
 
           D = D       s           /[1+({E       i           /E}       β           )/α]       α               
 
 where 
   E is the exposure, 
   D is the density at exposure E, 
   E i  is the exposure at the point of inflexion of the curve, 
   D s  is the density at saturation, and 
   α and β are constants for the photographic material being processed.

Abstract: A fluid sensing device such as a Surface Transverse Wave device (10) or a Love Wave device having controlled transfers of energy from a transduction surface (18) of a piezoelectric substrate (16) to a sensing surface (34) and back to the transduction surface. A first wave-trapping structure (36) adjacent to an input transducer (19) tapers to provide a controlled diffraction of shear transverse wave energy to a second wave-trapping structure (30) disposed on an opposite side of the piezoelectric substrate. The second wave-trapping structure interfaces with the fluid under test. The shear transverse waves are then recaptured by a third wave-trapping structure (50) on the same surface as the first wave-trapping structure. The wave energy is then decoupled from the piezoelectric substrate. In the STW device, the wave-trapping structures are periodic fingers that are selectively varied in thickness or width or both. In the LW device, the wave-trapping structures are plates that each vary in thickness.

Abstract: An engine mount comprises a relatively stiff elastomeric member (14) having an interior defining a chamber (35) containing hydraulic liquid. The member (14) is attached to the engine (10) via a screw (18), and is attached to the vehicle body (12) via flanges (22,24). A flexible wall (32) defines a second chamber (36) and the two chambers (35,36) are connected by a restricted (e.g. helicoidal) channel (38,40,41) in a dividing wall (33). Engine vibration is transmitted to the liquid in the chamber (35) via the member (14), and damping takes place because of the resistance to the flow of liquid between the two chambers (35,36) and/or because of oscillation of the mass of the liquid in the channel (38). In addition, a flexible membrane (30) is supported by the interior wall of member (14) and urged against this wall by a leaf spring (29) and the air pressure between the interior wall of member (14) and the membrane (30) is variable. When the air pressure is increased, the membrane (30) moves away from the wall of the member (14) against the spring (29) so that the chamber (35) is now partially defined by a flexible wall, thus reducing the damping effect and the stiffness.
