Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NL97/00553 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 1, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 1, 1999 PCT Filed Oct. 6, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/14140 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 9, 1998The invention relates to a joint prosthesis comprising two metal parts which are movable with respect to one another. The surfaces of the metal parts are covered with an abrasion layer of ceramic material which has a hardness which is greater than that of the carbides present in the metal. The carbides are worn away by the abrasion layer. As a result, the overall wear behavior of the two metal parts of the prosthesis is improved considerably, and the metal surface of the prosthesis parts is not affected by the carbides during movement. The metal components are preferably spaced apart from one another at a distance of at most 0.2 millimeter. This close fit improves the wear action. Owing to the relatively thin wear layer, the particles formed during the wearing process are small enough to be discharged into the space between the joint parts by synovial fluid.

Abstract: The distribution device consists of separate compartment to hold and dispense both the anhydrous feed in pellets and water. In the compartment to dispense the anhydrous feed in pellets from a feeding reservoir (1) the dry feed reaches an under placed volumetric feeder (2) activated by a motor reducer (3) operated by a microprocessor card (4) actuating the operator's preset functions on the control board (5). The anhydrous food falls then into a fodder-trough (7) which comes out operated by a translation system and the movement of which causes the rotation of a device which senses the presence of feed and which consists of a linear support (13) holding a rod (14) having an intermediate upward bend (16) ending with the contact detector (17) of the feed presence. As soon as the fodder-trough comes out, the bend (16) allows detector (17) to lower down to touch the bottom of the fodder-trough permitting the card (4) to detect the presence of residual food and to refill only the pre-determined quantity of feed fixed for the following meal. In the compartment containing the water, from a water tank (18) the water reaches a drinking bowl (21). A level sensor (23) detects either the water presence into the drinking bowl or the non-consumption of water within a pre-determined fixed time sending all the signals detected to the control board (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit pour commander une serrure de portière de véhicule à moteur, actionnée électriquement, ou similaire. Cette serrure comprend un loquet (1), un cliquet (2) maintenant le loquet (1) en position fermée, ainsi qu'un élément d'entraînement auxiliaire de fermeture (4), commandé par un moteur électrique, qui est mis en marche, une fois le loquet (1) en position de préfermeture, et qui fait ensuite passer le loquet (1) en position de fermeture principale, au moyen du moteur. Il est prévu un commutateur (16) qui détecte la position de préfermeture, notamment un commutateur qui détecte la position du loquet (1). Le circuit de l'invention est conçu de manière particulièrement simple car le pôle négatif (18) de l'élément d'entraînement auxiliaire de fermeture (4) est toujours relié à la masse ou à un potentiel négatif, et le pôle positif (19) est commuté, et raccordé soit au potentiel positif de la tension du réseau de bord, soit à la masse ou à un potentiel négatif, ou bien il est ouvert. De plus, il est prévu un seul commutateur (16), qui est situé entre la masse et une borne de connexion (20), et provoque une commutation de l'élément d'entraînement auxiliaire de fermeture (4). De façon particulièrement appropriée, cet élément d'entraînement auxiliaire de fermeture (4) est mis automatiquement hors circuit lorsque le loquet (1) atteint sa position de fermeture, notamment lorsqu'il atteint une position de course excessive située légèrement au-delà de la position de fermeture, c'est-à-dire lorsque notamment le pôle positif (19) de l'élément d'entraînement auxiliaire de fermeture (4) est raccordé à la masse ou à un potentiel négatif, ou bien est ouvert.

Abstract: Arresting material test apparatus, test probes and test methods enable testing of compressive gradient strength of cellular concrete, and materials having similar characteristics, on a continuous basis from the surface of a section to a typical internal penetration depth of at least 60 percent of thickness. Previous testing of cellular concrete typically focused on testing to confirm a minimum structural strength prior to structural failure or shattering of a test sample. For an aircraft arresting bed, for example, cellular concrete must exhibit a compressive gradient strength in a relatively narrow precalculated range continuously from the surface to penetration depth equal to 60 to 80 percent of sample thickness. Precalculated and controlled compressive gradient strength is critical to enabling an aircraft to be safely stopped within a set distance, without giving rise to drag forces exceeding main landing gear structural limits. New test apparatus, test probes with post-compression build-up relief and test methods are described to enable such testing and recordation of data showing the gradient of compressive strength as it increases from the surface of a test sample to a predetermined depth of penetration. Resulting compressive gradient strength data is representative of performance of cellular concrete sections in decelerating an aircraft.

Abstract: A process where the need to circulate hydrogen through the catalyst is eliminated. This is accomplished by mixing and/or flashing the hydrogen and the oil to be treated in the presence of a solvent or diluent in which the hydrogen solubility is "high" relative to the oil feed. The type and amount of diluent added, as well as the reactor conditions, can be set so that all of the hydrogen required in the hydroprocessing reactions is available in solution. The oil/diluent/hydrogen solution can then be fed to a plug flow reactor packed with catalyst where the oil and hydrogen react. No additional hydrogen is required, therefore, hydrogen recirculation is avoided and trickle bed operation of the reactor is avoided. Therefore, the large trickle bed reactors can be replaced by much smaller tubular reactor.
