Abstract: The invention relates to a movable preparation machine, in particular a screening machine, for ballast gravel for railways, comprising a supporting structure extending in the longitudinal direction of the rails, a running gear, a device for receiving the gravel to be processed, longitudinal conveying means for transferring the gravel to a machining station, in particular a sifting station, and discharging means for prepared gravel, and optionally for preparation waste. The object of the invention is to create structures for relatively small and appropriately economical preparation machines for ballast of the track, which machines can be moved with ease and are flexible but are highly efficient and labour-saving, in particular for use when scattering and working on numerous relatively short track sections. The invention is attained with a preparation machine comprising a running gear (FW) with at least one wheel set (SPR) with flanges for rail mounted travel, and at least one wheel set (ADR) adhesion-guided for non-rail travel, as well as a travel change-over device (FUS) for selective activation of said wheel sets.

Abstract: A method for forming a supported thin layer of non-evaporable getter (NEG) material and a getter device formed thereby are provided. A suspension comprised of non-evaporable getter (NEG) material particles in a dispersing medium is prepared. The NEG material particles in the suspension have a particle size not greater than about 150  mu m. The dispersing medium has an aqueous, alcoholic, or hydroalcoholic base and contains not more than about 1 wt % of organic compounds having a boiling temperature of at least about 250 DEG  C. The ratio of the weight of the NEG material particles to the weight of the dispersing medium is between about 4:1 and about 1:1. A layer of the suspension is deposited on a carrier by a serigraphic technique. Next, the deposited layer is dried to evaporate volatile components of the dispersing medium and thereby form a dried deposit. Finally, the dried deposit is sintered under vacuum at a temperature between about 800 DEG  C. and 1000 DEG  C. with a surface of the dried deposit covered with a refractory material to inhibit scaling. Getter devices formed in accordance with this method also are provided.

Abstract: Un microscope à forces atomiques met en oeuvre un système optique ayant une ouverture numérique suffisant avec la longueur d'onde d'une lumière émanant d'un faisceau incident (44) pour former sur un cantilever (14) un point d'une taille de 8 micromètres ou moins dans au moins une dimension. Une ouverture réglable (34) peut être utilisée pour régler la taille et/ou la forme du faisceau ponctuel incident sur le cantilever (14). Des parties du faisceau incident et le faisceau réfléchi par le cantilever se chevauchent et sont orientés de telle manière que le plan de focalisation du faisceau incident est parallèle au plan du cantilever (14). Le faisceau incident et le faisceau de lumière réfléchi sont séparés par polarisation au moyen d'un séparateur de faisceau (40) utilisé conjointement avec une plaque quart d'onde (42). La focalisation peut être réalisée à l'aide d'un système confocal de visée couplé à une lentille de focalisation translatable partagée par le système optique et le système de visée.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for the analysis of a fluid to determine the remaining useful life of the fluid and whether the fluid has become contaminated. The method can be performed either on-line or off-line, however, the on-line method is preferred. In the method, a sample of the fluid is contacted by a single electrode which is connected to the ground potential by means of the equipment in which the fluid is used. A current is applied to the sample through the electrode and the conductivity of the sample is measured. The conductivity measurement can then compared to known values for the fluid to determine the remaining useful life of the fluid and whether the fluid has become contaminated.

Abstract: A screen for separating particulate materials from a liquid mass according to the invention comprises a pattern of slot-shaped passage openings for the liquid, wherein the pattern comprises first pattern elements (20; 30; 41; 51) having three groups of passage openings, the passage openings within a group having the same orientation, which is different from the orientation of the passage openings of the other groups within said first pattern element (20; 30; 41; 51), wherein a group of passage openings having a certain orientation within said first pattern element (20; 30; 41; 51) is also adjacent to groups of passage openings of neighbouring pattern elements (20; 30; 45; 55, 56), which groups have a different orientation. This arrangement of the passage openings achieves a high tensile strength and a high flexural stiffness off the screen, as a result of which the service life thereof is greater than that of known screens.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système servant à l'acheminement de signaux de télécommunications passant entre un premier et un second élément d'un réseau de télécommunications, le premier élément ayant une interface conçue pour transmettre et recevoir des signaux dans un premier protocole, et le second élément ayant une interface conçue pour transmettre et recevoir les signaux dans un second protocole. Le système faisant l'objet de cette invention comprend une première unité d'interface destinée à recevoir un premier signal de télécommunications transmis dans l'un de ces premier et second protocoles entre ces premier et second éléments, la première unité d'interface étant agencée pour séparer les canaux porteurs de trafic des canaux non porteurs de trafic dans le premier signal de télécommunications. Un élément de gestion de trafic est ensuite prévu pour effectuer une fonction de connexion croisée afin de cartographier les canaux porteurs de trafic au format approprié pour l'autre des protocoles, tandis qu'un élément de conversion de protocole est prévu pour réaliser des étapes de conversion de protocole prédéterminées sur les canaux non porteurs de trafic, afin de régénérer ces canaux non porteurs de trafic dans l'autre des protocoles. En outre, une second unité d'interface est prévue pour combiner les canaux à la sortie au moyen de l'élément de gestion de trafic et de l'élément de conversion de protocole, afin de créer un second signal de télécommunications dans l'autre des protocoles, cette seconde unité d'interface étant agencée pour émettre le second signal de télécommunications. De préférence, le premier protocole possède un format concentré et le second protocole possède un format non concentré. Grâce à cette approche, cette invention offre une technique permettant de convertir des signaux entre des interfaces utilisant différents protocoles, pour qu'un élément d'un réseau de télécommunications utilisant un premier protocole puisse communiquer avec un élément de ce même réseau de télécommunications utilisant un second protocole, la conversion entre les deux protocoles étant transparente aux éléments du réseau de télécommunications.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying short pulsed waveforms, on the order of 1 mus pulses at a frequency of about 5 kHz, to a discharge lamp, such as a low-pressure mercury/argon lamp, in order to shift the ratio of the intensities of two of the mercury lines, in particular the 254 nm and 365 nm lines, of which for a sinusoidal excitation signal the 254 nm line is predominant, towards the higher wavelength. This greatly increases the efficiency of a lamp using phosphors excited by these UV emissions, because of the reduced Stokes shift.

A preform product (28) is stripped from the mold roll having a multiplicity of upstanding, preform stems (24) extending from a side of the base. The preform product is passed through a post-forming nip (32) between a heading roll (34, 34a, 110) and a backing member (36) to form overhanging heads (78, 94) at distal ends of the upstanding stems. The heading roll has a multiplicity of cavities (38, 114) about its periphery for forming the heads. Various means are disclosed for aligning the preform stems (24) and the heading roll cavities. In one embodiment, a dimpled, heated heading roll (110) is employed to post-form the stems (24) to form fastener elements (112) that extend in random directions.
