Abstract: Vibration dampener and stiffener apparatus (210, 450, 470) and method for increasing the dampening and the stiffness of a tube (200) subjected to large amplitude flow-induced vibration. The preferred embodiment of the apparatus (210) includes a plurality of flexible braided cables (210) capable of being disposed in the tube (200) for dissipating the vibration energy of the tube (200) as the tube (200) vibrates, the cables (210) having a first end portion (280) and a second end portion (290). Enclosing the first end portion (280) of the plurality of flexible cables (210) is a rigid cable tip member (310) and enclosing the second end portion (290) of each cable (210) is a rigid cable end fitting (380, 410). As the tube (200) vibrates due to flow-induced vibration, the vibration energy will be transferred to the cables (210) which will rub together creating frictional heat energy that will radiate from the cables (210). In this manner, the vibration amplitude of the tube (200) is decreased. Moreover, as the tube (200) vibrates, the rigid cable tip member (310) and the rigid cable end fittings (380, 410) will tend to stiffen the tube (200).

Abstract: Clock frequency tester for indicating whether the frequency of a clock (FB) has a value which is comprised within a predetermined range of values (FA-FA/n, FA+FA/n) around a reference frequency value (FA). The clock frequency tester includes a frequency mixer (100) which provides an output frequency FQ in accordance with the relation FQ = absolute value of (FA-FB) for FB remaining close to FA, and a divide-by-n circuit (101) which divides the frequency FA. The frequency tester further includes a phase frequency comparator (102) which has a first and second input lead F1 and F2 which are respectively connected to the output of the divide-by-n circuit (101) and to the output of the frequency mixer (100). The phase frequency comparator (102) generates an output signal Q2 which remains at a steady level whenever F1 input signal has a frequency value which is superior to that of the F2 input signal, that is to say when the FB frequency to be tested is comprised within the range of values (FA-FA/n, FA+FA/n) (for FB remaining close to FA). Since the factor n of the division can be easily adjusted, any desired degree of accuracy can be provided by the frequency tester of the invention.

Abstract: Turbosoufflante pour un oscillateur laser à gaz utilisé pour l'usinage tel que la coupe. La turbosoufflante est constituée d'un arbre (2) comportant à son extrémité des pales de turbine (1), d'une paire de paliers (5, 6) qui supportent l'arbre (2), et de moteurs (3, 4) faisant tourner l'arbre. Ce dernier présente des ailettes thermoradiantes (11) assurant le refroidissement. Les ailettes thermoradiantes (11) dispersent la chaleur produite dans le rotor (3) du moteur et empêchent le transfert de chaleur aux paliers (5, 6). La capacité thermoradiante peut être améliorée considérablement si l'on procède au refroidissement forcé des ailettes thermoradiantes en utilisant une partie du gaz de laser, ce qui permet de rallonger de manière importante la durée de vie du lubrifiant et des paliers. L'entretien tel que le graissage et le remplacement des paliers peut être effectué avec une fréquence beaucoup moins grande, et la fiabilité est améliorée.

Abstract: In a method and a device for the mechanical separation of natural manure into a wet phase and a dry phase for individual applications, the manure separator comprises a strainer pipe (5) wherein the screw conveyor (9) rotates. In order to obtain an especially efficient separation, there is, at a certain location of the movement path of the manure mass within the separator, established a manure plug forming zone (10), e.g. through the removal of the screw conveyor thread (9') over a certain longitudinal section, wherein the manure mass is subjected to minimum external influence and, thus, is given the opportunity of buidling itself up into a relatively dry plug. The plug from which dewatered mass is removed continuously from the downstream end thereof, is continuously added new manure mass from the opposite side, and will constitute a barrier performing a sufficient counter pressure for forced dewatering of the moving manure mass at the upstream side of the plug.
