Abstract: The invention pertains to materials which resist combustion and expand when subjected to high temperatures, and are thus suitable for use as mounting mats for monoliths in catalytic converters. Previously known intumescent materials, such as vermiculite, exhibit contraction between about 100 °C and 400 °C, which may cause a monolith to become loose from the casing during warm-up of the catalytic converter. A monolith can be mounted in a catalytic converter by a material containing intumescent vermiculite flakes that have a uniform content of chemically bound water, from 1.0 to 3.2 % by weight and a uniform bulk density, from 0.2 to 0.9 g/cm3. Such a mounting affords good support to the monolith at warm-up temperatures, exerts adequate holding forces at operating temperatures without danger of cracking the monolith, and does not incur gradual reduction in holding forces at operating temperatures.

Abstract: The invention relates to an absolute position measuring system for determining the position of two objects moving relative to one another. It is the object of the invention to create a position measuring system which has a wide dynamic range and resolution by means of which the errors of the measuring system are detected and which ensures simplified design and adjustment even with high demands on the measuring accuracy. According to the invention, the object is achieved by the fact that a bar code carrier (7) has a track (1), the bars of which exhibit an angular inclination ( alpha 1) with respect to the direction of measuring (5) and that the area of acquisition of a sensor array (6) has an angular inclination (ss) which deviates from the direction of measuring (5) and the angular inclination ( alpha 1). The invention is preferably used in high-resolution distance and angle measuring systems which require an absolute position determination with a wide dynamic range. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor is approximately circularly cylindrically disposed relative to a main axis, is rotatable about the main axis and leaves a gap in a recess of the stator which is approximately circularly cylindrical relative to the main axis. An instrument carrier for inspecting the dynamoelectric machine can be inserted along the main axis into the gap and moved there. The instrument carrier includes a frame part which approximately annularly surrounds the main axis and on which a device for carrying out the inspection can be mounted. A multiplicity of rollers are mutually offset, as seen in a plane perpendicular to the main axis, and each is mounted on the frame part so as to be rotatable about an associated axis of rotation. The axis of rotation is aligned essentially perpendicular to the main axis. The instrument carrier can be inserted into the gap without prior removal of the rotor, and can be equipped as desired with instruments and auxiliary devices for carrying out the inspection. The instrument carrier can be moved in the gap without the risk of tilting and jamming, since it is directly supported on the stator.

Abstract: A battery charger and method are disclosed for charging alkaline, Ni-Cad and zinc-based batteries, particularly sizes N, AAA, AA, C and D. For batteries rated at about 1.25 volts to about 1.5 volts, the battery charger and method provide a constant charging current of between about 0.28 ma to about 1.5 ma per gram weight of the battery. A constant current circuit under control of a controller provides the constant current to the battery under charge. A reference voltage generator generates reference voltages as the battery is being charged while the controller frequently monitors the battery voltage and compares it to the reference voltage. A substantially constant current is supplied to the battery while a reference voltage greater than the battery voltage is provided. Thereafter, as the battery voltage increases, the reference voltage is incremented up to a predetermined maximum reference voltage. The controller causes the constant current circuit to terminate the supply of current to the battery when the reference voltage reaches the predetermined maximum, or when the battery voltage does not increase during charging to be greater than a first or a subsequent reference voltage during a predetermined charging time period. The controller may also cause the constant current circuit to supply from time to time a substantially constant test current to the battery which exceeds the charging current by from about 2.5 % to about 25 % for up to a predetermined testing time period, and terminate the supply of current to the battery if the test current increases by greater than a predetermined amount within the predetermined testing time period. The battery charger may at the same time charge batteries of different sizes, and includes a separate constant current circuit for each battery in the battery charger. Each battery is constinuously supplied with charging or testing current as determined by the controller, and the controller controls charging of each battery independently of the charge condition of any other battery. A separate controller may control each constant current circuit, or a microprocessor may control all of the constant current circuits.
