Abstract: A method of feeding a continuous slide fastener chain (1) with successive fly strips (5) in a slide-fastener finishing machine, comprises feeding the slide fastener chain (1) with successive fly strips (5) along a horizontal straight path normally by applying driving force to one tape (2) free of the fly strips (5), and feeding the slide fastener chain (1) by applying the driving force to both of the opposed tapes (2, 2) while the slide fastener chain (1) is threaded through a slider (6). An apparatus (8) for carrying out this method comprises a main roller (22) engageable with the lower surfaces of the opposed tapes (2, 2), and first and second associate rollers (23, 24) engageable with the respective upper surfaces of the opposed tapes (2, 2) and vertically movable independently of each other.

Abstract: An image system, e.g. for use in industrial inspection or automation systems, digitises data incoming from a TV camera to produce a digital code for each pixel. The data input is monitored (2) to produce indications of which lines of pixels contain valid data, and this data is routed to memory (6). A processor (4) controlled by a line counter (3) generates addresses at which these valid lines are to be stored. The valid data lines pass via a FIFO (5) to a memory management unit, which causes these data lines to be placed in memory (6) at locations therein defined by the addresses. Thus the image of the work is recreated in memory in a rapid and economical manner, and this image is available for processing and display purposes.

Abstract: A center differential (30) offering a full-time two axle drive system. The center differential includes a planetary gear set (40) defining a first drive path which provides an effective torque split ratio to the front axle (18) of the vehicle which is several percent less than the minimum dynamic weight ratio on the front axle assembly. The center differential further includes a bidirectional clutch mechanism (42) defining a second drive path for connecting the driving input to the front drive axle assembly (18) with a drive ratio several percent more than the rear axle ratio. The effective torque split and drive ratios are selected as a function of vehicle weight distribution and tire data for a specific vehicle (10) so as to effect a controlled transfer of torque between the first and second drive paths and before the affected axle assembly reaches its traction limit in any mode of operation.

Abstract: In this invention, a structure in which a data stream encoded into the M² code is cut at the boundary of its arbitrary bit cells and a unique sync pattern is inserted between the bit cells is adopted. 
     As a result, the erroneous detection of data of the data stream modulated with the M² code as a sync pattern can be prevented to avoid the synchronization shift, the occurrence of the synchronization error. Further, the correct and stable synchronization can be established so as to enable reproduction of an original digital data with high fidelity. Also, by eliminating the sync pattern and connecting its data blocks before and after as they are, a data stream satisfying the rule of the code and inserting the pattern into a data stream modulated with the M² code.

Patent EP-0317487-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FORNEY JOSEPH MCCLELLAN
IPC: B60C9/20
Filed: 1988-11-04
Abstract: A radial-ply pneumatic tire (200,400) has a carcass (220,420) that has a reverse curvature, that is, an outwardly concave shape, centered about the tire's equatorial plane (EP). A wedge (260,460) of elastomeric material is positioned above or below the belt structure (230,430) of the tire. If positioned above the belt structure, the wedge is used with a carcass cord angle in the range from 65° to 80°. This carcass structure also may be used when the wedge is positioned between the belt structure and carcass. The tire has an aspect ratio less than 75%, but an aspect ratio in the range from 40% to 65% is preferred. The wedge has a shape on its radially inner side that is similar to a low-amplitude cosine function. Particularly when the wedge is above the belt structure (providing both it and the belt structure with a reverse curvature), the belt cord angle is less than a "critical angle" of about 25°. 
     The invention, when practiced in its preferred form, provides a belted tire which has "natural shape" in its sidewall regions for whatever "radial" cord angle is selected for the carcass ply or plies. However, the tire also has "natural shape" in the portion of the radial carcass underlying the belt structure, but the "natural shape" is for a cord angle substantially equivalent to that or those low angles used in the belt structure. This low-angle "natural shape" for a bias-ply carcass is predicted by the equations of John F. Purdy in "Mathematics Underlying   the Design of a Tire" to include a reverse curvature in the crown area of the bias-ply carcass.

Abstract: An artificial illumination control system (1) for controlling the energization of an electronic flash device (3) during a photographic exposure interval in a camera has three flash related modes of operation, full flash, no flash, and fill flash, one of which is automatically selected in accordance with the level of ambient light intensity. If, however, the level of ambient light intensity warrants the fill flash mode, but the camera-to-subject distance exceeds a predetermined distance beyond which the flash output may be ineffectual for a fill flash exposure, the fill flash mode is prevented and the control system reverts to its no flash mode.

Abstract: A wet treatment device, consisting of a plurality of liquid tanks, for photographic layer supports which can be moved through the liquid tanks by means of a transport device, wherein tank surfaces can be covered by lid parts against a place where the wet treatment device is set up, is designed in such a way that a common cover (12), reaching over the lid parts (11), for the tanks (2 to 5) is made of heat- insulating material or constructed as a hollow body (12b, 12c) and includes an insulating layer (13). This provides a hermetic seal and a temperature insulation of the tanks from the place where they are set up, avoiding the formation of condensate water and chemicals vapour, and at the same time greatly reducing the oxidation of the treatment solutions and moreover preventing an escape of chemicals vapours into the place where they are set up. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A combination of flow trippers with spacer deflectors in the two phase steam/water region of a fuel bundle in a boiling water reactor is disclosed. Spacers with deflectors are placed immediately above the flow trippers. The flow trippers (62) are located on either an inside channel wall (70) surrounding the fuel bundle or the outside of water chambers within the fuel bundle. Additional flow trippers may be located adjacent to the spacers, above the flow trippers that are below the spacers. The spacers are provided with deflector skirts (64) overlying the flow trippers. In operation of the fuel bundle, excess water flows (72) in the two phase region in a film on the unheated inside walls of the fuel channel (70) or the outside walls of the water chambers. The film flow is perturbed by the flow trippers and is deflected toward the fuel rods (26). The overlying deflector skirts (64) or tabs (69) on the spacers further deflect the liquid toward the fuel rods (26) to improve cooling and to increase the power generation capability of the fuel bundle. A preferred embodiment includes deflector tabs (69) at the top of the spacer for further deflecting the stripped water layer towards the fuel rods. The synergistic combination of flow trippers and spacer deflector skirts and tabs provide better cooling than would be predicted by adding the separate effects of flow trippers, deflector skirts and flow tabs.

Abstract: Polyether active hydrogen compounds having at least two terminal active hydrogen groups on primary carbon atoms are prepared by (a) forming polyoxyalkylene molecules each having at least one active hydrogen precursor, (b) linking at least two of the polyoxyalkylene molecules, and (c) converting the active hydrogen precursor groups to active hydrogen groups on primary carbon atoms. The polyoxyalkylene molecule is formed by exposing a reaction mixture comprising at least one alkylene oxide and at least one protective initiator to conditions effective for the polymerization of the alkylene oxides. Linking is accomplished at polyether chain ends distal to the protected active hydrogen precursor groups, such that the active hydrogen precursors remain on the linked polyether chains until they are converted to active hydrogen groups. The process is particularly useful to produce polyether compounds having at least 80 mole percent primary active hydrogen groups, which compounds are useful, for instance, in forming polyurethanes.
