Abstract: Folding-arm bearing for an oscillating-swinging leaf of doors, windows or the like, comprises a support inserted on the sash-frame and a square-shaped blade having a wing onto which is pivotally mounted a plate bearing a folding-arm leg by a connector. In order to facilitate the reversibility of this folding-arm bearing without disassembling of components, the wing of the blade is provided, on its upper and lower edges, with a pin engaging into an opening made in the connector, and the plate is mounted onto this wing by means of an eccentric having a rotation which generates a vertical movement of the plate causing the disengagement of a pin from the opening present in the connector.

Abstract: The present invention resides in the discovery that a strip (12) of reticulated foam which is semi-conductive can be continuously electroplated, utilizing a cathode roll (26) which is positioned, in a first electroplating zone, outside of the electroplating bath. An anode (28) is immersed in the electroplating bath. The strip of reticulated foam is first introduced into the electroplating bath (22) and travels in the direction from the anode to the cathode roll prior to contacting the cathode roll. In this way, the strip achieves a partial plate at the anode which provides a current path between the anode and the cathode roll effective for sustaining the plating reaction in said first electroplating zone.

Date Apr. 18, 1991.Porous membranes incorporating porous anodic films are disclosed. The membranes, which may be used as filters, gaseous diffusion media, dialysis membranes, etc., are produced by porous anodizing aluminum or other porous anodizable metal, creating a weakened stratum in the resulting porous anodic film (e.g. by a voltage reduction procedure during the anodizing step), attaching a support to the porous anodic film and separating the film along the weakened stratum. If the support is perforated the resulting structure is suitable as a separation device. If imperforate, the support can subsequently be perforated, if required, or replaced by a perforate support or supporting structure. The resulting structure has a non-metallic imperforate or perforated supporting layer (made, for example of plastic or ceramic) or other supporting structure, reinforcing a porous anodic film in which the pores completely penetrate the film.

Abstract: Procédé et dispositif permettant de mesurer avec une grande précision l'activité d'oxygène dans le laitier de fonte brute en fusion et dans le laitier d'acier en fusion. Selon le procédé conventionnel de mesure, dépendant de l'élément de concentration d'oxygène composé d'un électrolyte solide du type à tube fermé à une extrémité fixé sur la pointe de la sonde, comportant une électrode de platine de contraste enroulée autour de sa surface externe, et placé directement dans la couche de laitier en fusion, le positionnement de l'élément dans le laitier en écoulement est difficile et le contact de l'électrode de contraste avec la couche de laitier est insuffisant à cause du retrait thermique de l'électrolyte provoqué par la chaleur du laitier, ce qui peut être à l'origine d'erreurs dans la mesure. Au lieu de procéder à la mesure directe de l'activité d'oxygène dans le laitier, le procédé ci-décrit consiste à placer dans le même récipient que le laitier un métal spécifique, dont l'activité d'oxygène s'équilibre avec celle du laitier lorsqu'il est mis en contact avec ce dernier, et l'activité d'oxygène dans le métal spécifique est mesurée afin d'obtenir une mesure indirecte de l'activité d'oxygène dans le laitier. Ce procédé résout le problème que pose le contact insuffisant entre l'électrolyte solide et l'électrode de contraste et garantit une mesure très précise de l'activité d'oxygène dans le laitier.
