Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'effectuer un étalonnage adaptatif d'une unité de disques, et de déterminer une valeur de décalage afin de compenser les différences de distance de la servotête (28) à la tête de données (29) par rapport à une valeur nominale. L'invention trouve une application particulière dans un servosystème de comptage relatif de pistes dans lequel on ne peut déduire la position absolue des pistes à partir d'une valeur pour la servopiste (15). Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, on utilise une seule unité de têtes (27) dotée à la fois d'une tête de données et d'une servotête. Il faut connaître la distance entre le centre de la tête de données et le centre de la servotête pour pouvoir lire un disque (10) enregistré dans une autre unité de disques. Cette distance est une valeur nominale mais peut varier du fait des tolérances de fabrication. Dans la présente invention, on utilise à la fois la tête de données et la servotête pour établir une servopiste de référence d'ancrage, et pour déterminer une valeur de correction de décalage pour compenser les variations dans l'espacement entre la servotête et la tête de données. On emploie une architecture à double piste de référence sur la surface du disque. La tête de données est positionnée sur la première piste de référence (11) et centrée avec la précision désirée.

Abstract: The interchangeable upper of the disclosed footwear includes a foot covering adhesively secured to an insole molded of relatively flexible, shock-absorbent material to a desired shape, size and thickness, and having a narrow shoulder surrounding its upper surface. This insole is received in a one-piece outsole molded from a material having memory, so as to always seek to return to its original molded shape, which has a bottom corresponding in size and shape to the insole which is surrounded by an upstanding wall having a height which corresponds to the thickness of the insole and a narrow lip extending inwardly from its upper edge. During molding, the bottom may be made flat or, alternatively, the portion of the bottom from the heel to the widest part of the foot may be made flat and the portion forward thereof gently curved upwardly from the plane of the flat portion. The lip on the outsole mechanically engages the shoulder on the insole, and because the outsole attempts to return to its molded shape any tendency of the outsole to gap at the upper edge with stepping movement is essentially prevented. The material of the outsole is sufficiently elastic to secure insole and outsole together, yet to be stretched the small amount necessary to release the lip from the shoulder for removal of the outsole.

Abstract: The present invention provides an X ray film cassette (2) with a permanent marking means for identifying the side of the radiographic film that faced the X ray tube during exposure. Such identification is achieved irrespective of whether the film is exposed through the cover or base of the cassette and does not require any separate action by the X ray technologist, eliminating the element of human error. In a preferred embodiment, the working means is comprised of chirally asymmetric X ray opaque and/or light-opaque letters (22) or markings permanently mounted in the film cassette. A user friendly apparatus is described for installing the light-opaque markers (22) on the intensifying screens of the X ray film cassette.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is the almost complete retention of support material discharged from reactors for water treatment, in particular from fluidised bed reactors, in a separation unit connected downstream of the reactors and cleaning thereof from biomass overgrowth and recirculation into the reactor. According to the invention, the water stream containing the entrained support material (8) leaving the reactor is passed towards an impact plate (4) contained in a gas space (7) of a separation unit (1) arranged downstream of the reactor. The increasing density difference between material and water, after the return to the water surface situated beneath the gas space (7), effects a floatation of the support material (8) in the settling space in which the flow is vertically downwards. Beneath the water surface (6), the floating support material (8) is withdrawn from the separation unit (1) at the side by means of an ejector (10) having a propellent water connection (11) and is recirculated into the reactor. Guide rings (5) or jet dispersers (16) can be mounted on one or more impact plates (4). The cross-section of the cylindrical separation unit below the suction connection piece (9) is expanded in the shape of a truncated cone. <IMAGE>
