Abstract: The invention relates to an automtic fault detection installation for crack testing in in-process-inspection via image processing by the magnetic powder process in which regions of higher fluorescent magnetisable particle concentrations on workpieces are detected by areas caused to fluoresce by fluorescence-exciting lighting devices, with one or more imaging units; a testing agent applying and collecting installation in which the testing agent is placed in a circuit; an image processing unit capable of evaluating image units taken by the imaging units by scanning and recognising brighter areas, and capable of emitting various signals from the evaluation logic, in which there are several possibly movable imaging units like cameras or video cameras, the geometrical arrangement, focus and operation can be checked by sensors, u/v lamps with intensity measuring sensors being used to excite fluorescence. There is a by-pass line which feeds testing fluid into a testing medium checking device to check its effectiveness, in which the testing medium checking device generates a signal corresponding to the measurement of the testing medium. The signals from the test units are taken to a computer which compares them with predetermined data and correspondingly emits signals to a display, e.g. a monitor, a document device, e.g. a printer, and/or a device to change the operating values, e.g. the lamp voltage, the direction of the imaging unit or the focus, or to shut the installation down, and a process for automatic crack detection.

Abstract: A board, such as a ski or snowboard, that includes a piezoelectric damper. The piezoelectric damper is located on the body of the board such that, as the board vibrates or deforms, the piezoelectric material is also deformed. As the piezoelectric material deforms, it produces an electrical signal that is provided to a control circuit. The control circuit receives the electrical signal and either provides a resistance to the electrical signal or provides a control signal to the piezoelectric material. The resulting resistance or control signal causes the piezoelectric material to resist the deformation of the board, thus acting as a damper. The piezoelectric damper may be located between the bindings on the board, or may be located in front of the forward binding, behind the aft binding, or in more than one location. In the preferred embodiment, the piezoelectric damper is formed of one or more layers of piezoelectric material on which an electrical grid has been mounted. The piezoelectric material and electrical grid are encapsulated within an organic matrix, such as an epoxy or plastic resin.

The polyvalent metal C2-C3 carboxylate is prepared by admixing (i) a dry polyvalent metal compound that is an oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of Mn+2, Co+3 or Cr+3, (ii) an anhydrous C2-C3 carboxylic acid, and (iii) a catalytic agent at a relative molar ratio of about 1:2-10:0.01-3 in the absence of an added solvent or other diluent to form a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is heated to complete the reaction, remove the produced water and about 80 percent of the unreacted carboxylic acid. The product in residual carboxylic acid is solidified, ground and the product is recovered. The metal carboxylates can be used as biologically available and economical sources of trace metal ions for supplementation in animal diets.

Abstract: The system includes a message centre with associated danger notification sensors with a radio transceiver for the wireless danger-massage transmission to the message centre. The individual sensors do not transfer their message data directly to the message centre, during unfavourable radio wave propagation expansion conditions, but successively use one or several other sensors as relay stations for the transmission. The transmission path of a sensor over other sensors is preferably. chosen under consideration of a minimal attenuation of the radio field and/or a minimum number of intermediate stations, whereby the radio contact paths extend from the centre in a tree-like structure.
