Patent EP-0427440-A2 (EP)

IPC: F16L59/12
Filed: 1990-10-30
Abstract: Apparatus for vertically suspending an internal conduit (12) subject to temperature fluctuations and having shear lugs (22) secured around its perimeter. The shear lugs (22) rest upon a spool member (28) surrounding the conduit (12) and configured to permit thermal expansion/contraction of the supported conduit (12) as needed. The spool member (28) is, in turn, supported by an outer casing (14) in a manner permitting the spool member (28) to move or rotate independently of the casing (14). Thus, no rigid connector couples the internal conduit (12) to the outer casing (14), instead the spool (28) member provides the necessary support while being fully movable with respect to both the internal conduit (12) and the outer casing (14).

Abstract: A process, and apparatus, for testing the condition of an insulating system consists in charging the insulating system with direct voltage through insulated, electrically conducting parts, then discharging it and determining from parameters of the recovery voltage from which to assess the state of the insulating system. The charging period is 10⁻³ - 10⁴s; the ratio of charging and discharging periods is kept between 0.1 -100, and the ratio of the peak value of the recovery voltage and the charging voltage is measured. Then the measurement cycle is repeated several times with other charging/discharging periods but at constant charge/discharge period ratio as a function of charging period. Comparing the spectrum thus obtained with a reference spectrum the state of the insulating system can be assessed.

Abstract: There is described a tread for motor vehicle tires, wherein there are defined, by means of circumferential grooves (3) and transversal grooves (4), a plurality of wedges (5, 6) circumferentially distributed to form two shoulder rows (5) and several central rows (6) located between the shoulder rows. Each wedge (5, 6) is provided with one or more auxiliary incisions (11, 12) that are rectilinear and inclined with respect to the direction normal to the rolling direction of the tire (2). The auxiliary incisions (11, 12) of the wedges (5, 6) which constitute each of the shoulder and central rows are parallel to one another. The incisions (12) of the central rows (6) have an inclination, with respect to the direction normal to the rolling direction, that is greater than the inclination of the incisions (11) of the wedges (6) which constitute the shoulder rows. The technical accomplishments adopted in the conformation and in the arrangement of the auxiliary incisions (11, 12) substantially reduce the rolling noisiness of the tire.

Abstract: A via (26) is formed through a dielectric layer (8) separating two conductive layers (16,28) by establishing a laterally erodible mask (18) over the dielectric (8), with a window (24) over the desired via location. The mask (18) and exposed dielectric material (8) are eroded simultaneously, preferably by reactive ion etching, producing a via (26) through the dielectric (8) which expands laterally as vertical erosion proceeds. The erosion conditions, the materials for the mask (18) and dielectric (8), and the initial window (24) taper are selected so that the final via (26) is tapered at an angle of less than about 45° to the lower metal layer (6), and preferably about 30°-45°, to enable a generally uniform width for the upper metallization (28) in the via (26). A non-erodible mask (10) is established over the dielectric layer (8) lateral to the via (26) during fabrication to prevent the propagation of pinhole defects from the erodible mask (18) into the dielectric (8), and is normally removed prior to completing the structure.

Abstract: A video signal processing apparatus, typically for use as a video tape recorder/recording for recording and reproducing high-definition television signals, includes an encoder (4) for converting a chrominance signal (P R , P B ) into a line sequential signal and multiplexing the line sequential signal with a luminance signal (Y) on time compression according to time-division multiplexing, thereby producing a time-division-multiplexed signal. A vertical emphasis circuit (31 R, 31 B) is connected to an input terminal of the encoder (4), for effecting vertical nonlinear emphasis on the chrominance signal (P R , P B ). The video signal processing apparatus also includes a vertical low-pass filter (32R, 32B) for removing aliasing distortions from the chrominance signal (P R , P B ) into the line sequential signal. The vertical nonlinear emphasis is effected on the chrominance signal (P R , P B ) after the chrominance signal (P R , P B ) has been processed by the vertical low-pass filter (32 R , 32 B ).

Abstract: In a random access communication system comprising a central station and user stations, each user station transmits a packet to the central station on a randomly selected timeslot of a time-division multiple access channel and defines a plurality of "minislots" within the selected timeslot and transmits a burst on one of the minislots. The central station monitors the defined monislots to detect the burst transmission, and assigns as many timeslots as required if more than one burst transmission is detected within a timeslot interval. A slot assignment signal is sent from the central station to the user stations containing a negative acknowledgment of the transmitted packet. The user station from which the packet was transmitted is responsive to the negative acknowledgment to select one of the assigned timeslots and retransmit to the central station a copy of the packet on the selected assigned timeslot.

Abstract: A polyethylene pipe 10 is joined by a welded joint to a cross-linked polyethylene coupler 14 which has been expanded to make the coupler heat recoverable. Radiant energy (eg light in the visible spectrum or infra-red light) illuminates the outer surface of the coupler 14 supplied by an array of 150W reflector lamps 20. The coupler 14 shrinks and is forced into engagement with the pipe 10 and the pipe 12 to join the pipes. A fusion welded joint is formed between the coupler 14 and each pipe 10, 12. In an alternative a pipe is drawn down and inserted in an aperture through the wall of another pipe. A lamp is inserted in the drawn down pipe and the radiant energy causes the pipe to expand into engagement with the edge of the aperture and to be joined to it by a welded joint.
