Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring power consumed from anywhere along the conductors in an ac power distribution system includes a housing with through passages through which the conductors extend. Toroidal coils mounted within the housing concentrically with the through passages sense the current in the conductors. Elongated electrically conductive screw fasteners threaded into support blocks mounted on a printed circuit board within the housing extend radially into the through passages to penetrate insulation on the conductors and to electrically contact and mechanically clamp the conductors thereby simultaneously providing a voltage tap and locking the housing to the conductor.

Abstract: A method of preparing metal surfaces for thermally applied coatings by electrical discharge, which method controllably provides greater roughness for increased mechanical coating adhesion, avoids carbon deposits and is more economical to use. The method comprises melting and rapidly solidifying globules of the metal surface by spark erosion, the spark erosion occurring by incidence of an electrical discharge between an electrode and the metal surface closely spaced thereto, the spacing having an electrolyte with plasma forming capabilities, the discharge resulting from application of an electrical current to the electrode with a DC voltage in the range of 60-85 volts and amperage in the range of 50--110 amps, the current being pulsed on for periods of 150-300 micro seconds per spark.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for moving a movable switch point a selected distance as a result of the throw of a switch machine. The apparatus includes an operating rod connected to and movable by the switch machine and a switch point adjuster mounted directly to the switch point and movable by the opeldling rod. The switch point adjuster has an elongated housing with a bore provided therethrough, in which the operating rod is disposed through the housing bore. The switch point adjuster also has first and second adjusting nuts that are adjustably secured to the operating rod on opposed sides of the housing, preferably by mated threading. The opeldling rod is movable bidirectionally through the housing until one of the adjusting nuts contacts the housing. In this way, lost motion of the switch machine may be compensated for. The adjusting nuts preferably have a head portion and a body portion, in which the head portion has a width greater than the width of the body portion. Thus, the head portions of the adjusting nuts are contactable with respective opposed ends of the housing. Alternatively, or in addition, the housing may have an interior ledge provided within the housing bore, and leading edges of the adjusting nuts which are disposable within the housing may contact the interior ledge.

Abstract: Sustained release dosage forms of TGF-beta activators and TGF-beta production stimulators are employed to maintain or increase vessel lumen diameter in a diseased or injured vessel of a mammal. Conditions such as restenosis following angioplasty, vascular bypass grafts, transplanted organs, atherosclerosis or hypertension are characterized by a reduced vessel lumen diameter. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, TGF-beta activators and production stimulators inhibit abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells. Free TGF-beta activators or production stimulators that are not characterized by an undesirable systemic toxicity profile at a prophylactic dose may be used in conjunction with the sustained release dosage forms described herein for prophylactic purposes with respect to disease and trauma states involving proliferation and/or migration of vascular smooth muscle cells over time.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) that performs automatic gain control (AGC) for an electronic imaging camera (30), especially in outdoor surveillance applications. A fiber optic link (13) is used to collect ambient light and couple this light onto a small portion of a light sensing array (35) of the camera (30). A reference voltage produced by the lightsensing array (35) in response to the light from the fiber is used by AGC circuits (20) in the camera (30) to control the integration time of light sensing elements of the array (35), the gain of the camera's video amplifier (41), and lens aperture, if necessary. These camera gain controls are adjusted to maintain the reference voltage derived from the light provided by the fiber optic link (13) to be within a predefined range as the ambient light level varies due to weather conditions and time of day. Methods ofproviding automatic gain control correction are also disclosed.

Abstract: A pneumatic trainline control unit receives air from a first pneumatic  trainline which  it  uses  to  charge  and maintain pressure in a second pneumatic trainline.   It also provides brake control pressure to a universal pneumatic brake unit on a rail vehicle upon receiving an emergency braking request from the second trainline.   The pneumatic trainline control unit includes  an  air  piloted  transfer  valve,  an  air  piloted maintaining valve, a charging magnet valve, an emergency release magnet valve, a low pressure switch, an air piloted vent valve and a pipe network.  The pipe network allows the first trainline to supply air to the transfer valve, the charging valve and the maintaining valve.  The transfer valve features a transfer pilot port.   It connects a command port of the pneumatic trainline control unit to atmosphere unless  its transfer pilot port receives the emergency braking request in which case it connects the pipe network to the command port.  The low pressure switch closes if the second trainline charges to a preset pressure.          Upon closure of the pressure switch and a manually initiated command from the controller, the charging valve allows the pipe network to charge the second trainline to a minimum threshold level.  The maintaining valve features a main pilot port.  It permits the pipe network to keep the second trainline charged unless pressure at its main pilot port falls below the minimum threshold.  When pressure in the second trainline drops faster than a predetermined rate, the vent valve vents the second trainline to atmosphere.

Title: Method and device for measuring and correcting the tension profile of saw blades
Inventor: BAILER NORBERT
IPC: B23D55/08

Granted: 2000-05-09
Abstract: The invention concerns a saw blade (10), in particular for band saws, which is moved in a direction of movement (A), substantially corresponding to its longitudinal direction, through a measurement section and a stretching section. Two edge regions of the saw blade (10) are supported on the measurement section, held down in an initial region and end region thereof and thereby maintained in a common reference plane in which the direction of movement (A) is located. The saw blade (10) is raised above the reference plane by a supporting force exerted only in the centre region of the measurement section. The profile of the saw blade (10) is now measured in a measurement plane (B) at right-angles to its direction of movement (A) in the central region of the measurement section. Data concerning the height of the profile relative to a chord transverse to the direction of movement (A) and co-ordinated with data concerning the distance of the measuring points from an edge (14) of the saw blade (10) and with data concerning the longitudinal movement of the saw blade are stored. On the stretching section the saw blade (10) is stretched region-by-region in the direction of movement (A) according to these data.

Abstract: A method of forming and lining a branch borehole comprises installing a packer in a main borehole, installing a whipstock on the packer, milling a window in the main borehole casing using the whipstock, recovering the whipstock, and then installing a deflector (20) to deflect a lining into the lateral. The external diameter (D) of the deflector is less than the internal diameter of the casing of the main borehole so as to permit subsequent milling away of cement and surplus lining material using a washover tool or thin walled mill.  The preferred deflector includes a relatively steep deflector face (21) at the upper end of the deflector and a relatively shallow deflector face (22) which connects the lower end (23) of the face (21) to the full diameter (D) of the deflector. If it is desired to use the maximum possible diameter casing for the lateral, portions of the formation and/or the main borehole casing are removed by an appropriate tool after the deflector (20) has been positioned within the borehole.
