Abstract: In a process and assembly to extract juice from sugar beet on an industrial scale, the harvested beet is ground or shredded in a mechanical process at ambient temperature which opens the plant cells without tearing them apart. The opened mass of cells is then placed in a centrifuge at the same temperature to separate into liquid and solid fractions. The residual solid fraction is then further reduced by grinding and the cells are further opened, and the resulting phase is subjected to further centrifuge action and separated into solid and liquid fractions. The resulting cold juice is then rapidly heated to a temperature of 90 degrees C and a precipitation agent is added to the hot juice to precipitate and separate protein. The resulting pure juice is then converted to sugar products.

Abstract: the overload relay has a sensor (MW) and rectifier (G) forming a charge current (IL) from a load current (IS) to charge a capacitor (C1) for actuating trip and reset devices (L1,L2). Electronic functional units (F) are powered from a capacitor (C2) continuously charged by the charge current. A corresp. measurement signal is produced by a second stage (R). A third stage (F) computes temp. and detects an overload situation from the measurement signal and a stored thermal model of the load using a delay period after switching on the load until sufficient energy is available to supply the computation stage. Computation accuracy is increased by reducing the delay and extending the operating period of the computation stage after switching off the load. The first capacitor is only charged when a minimum voltage on the second is reached or exceeded. After the load is switched off the second capacitor is supplied with stored energy from the first

Abstract: Distance sensors (101, 102) are mounted on both
ends of a vehicle (100) and have light transmitting
and receiving sections. A distance to an object (106)
is independently measured by alternately transmitting
"one-side-only enlarged light beams" (103, 104) at
a time interval and receiving corresponding reflected
beams from the object (106). In an overlapped
area (105) of the "one-side-only enlarged light beams"
(103, 104), the distance from the vehicle to the
object (106), as well as the azimuth of the object, is
measured by a triangulation distance measurement using
an interval between the distance sensors (101, 102) as
a baseline. The lengths of the "one-side-only enlarged
light beams" (103, 104) in the running direction of
the vehicle are about 50m and a width vertical to the
running direction of the overlapped area (105) is about
2m slightly greater than a width of the vehicle (100).

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor optical waveguide array in an ultra-high integration, the device yield per wafer is considerably increased and uniform and improved characteristics are obtained. In this method, there is manufactured a semiconductor optical waveguide array including a plurality of optical waveguides in an array structure in stripe-shaped growth regions enclosed by dielectric thin films on a substrate. The waveguides are fabricated through a selective crystal growth process and include a semiconductor multilayer structure including a quantum well layer or a semiconductor multilayer structure including a bulk layer. Namely, there is formed a plurality of stripe-shaped growth regions elongated parallel to each other, the regions being enclosed with a dielectric thin film. In each growth region, a semiconductor multilayer structure is selectively grown by metallo-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). In the selective growth, the growth regions are parallel to each other with an interval therebetween, the interval being less than a diffusion length of a source material in a reactive tube during the crystal growth. Assuming that the dielectric thin film arranged between the respective growth regions has a width Wa and a first outer-most dielectric thin film and a second outer-most dielectric thin film arranged respectively outside of outer-most ones of the growth regions respectively have widths W m1  and W m2 , there is satisfied a relationship of W m1  > Wa and W m2  > Wa.

Abstract: A kink-resistant hose construction (10) adapted for conveying fluids under high pressure which is flexible
intermediate a central longitudinal axis (12) to a minimum bend radius. The construction includes a
thermoplastic core (14) having an inner surface (16)
defining the inner diameter of the hose and an outer surface (18),
and an innermost reinforcement layer (20) is formed as a composite of at least one metallic wire element and
at least one non-metallic fibre element. The metallic wire element is wound helically in one direction
over the outer surface of the core a predetermined pitch angle measured relative to the longitudinal axis
to define a series first turns. Each of these first tuns is spaced-apart from an adjacent first turn to define
successive pairs of first turns each having an interstitial area therebetween. The fiber element, in turn, is
wound helically over the outer surface of the core in the same direction and at the same pitch angle as
the metallic wire element to define a series of second turns each disposed intermediate a corresponding
one of the pairs of the first turns or the wire element. The fiber element substantially occupies the
interstitial area between each of the pairs of the first turns of the wire element to thereby prevent the
wall of the core from being extruded therebetween as the hose is flexed to its minimum bend radius.
