Abstract: An apparatus for preventing pipe buckling when downwardly directed axial forces are applied to a pipeline (3) which extends from a derrick (1) down into a well bore, especially when snubbing. The apparatus comprises two sets of pipe supports (8) linked together to give a continuous chain (10), which is arranged to extend from a respective guide rail (6, 7) in the derrick (1) to the pipeline (3), and the pipe supports (8) are movably arranged in the guide rail (6, 7) parallel to the pipeline (3). The guide rail (6, 7) extends in a general U-shape with the U-bend (6c, 7c) located closest to the lower end of the derrick (1) and comprises two legs (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b), of which a first leg (6a, 7a) is arranged close to the pipeline (3) and a second leg (6b, 7b) is arranged at a greater distance from the pipeline. The pipe supports (8) are designed to be placed in the first leg (6a, 7a) when operative, and are designed to be transferred to the second leg (6b, 7b) when they are to be rendered inoperative.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing brush products by injection molding using continuous bristle strings whose ends are molded into the body of the brush during production of the latter. Various difficulties arise during production of brush products made of plastic material such as the need to inject the point of fixation of the bristle strings in the body of the brush and to separate and attach the bristle strings for the subsequent injection molding process. The invention provides a solution for said problems through an injection molding process for the body of the brush involving several steps. The first step comprises the sealing of the holes in the bottom plate (9) of the injection molding tool and the ends of the bristle string (2) entering the inner area of the die (1). An area of highly tensed bristle strings (2) is created by opening the injection molding tool between the body of the brush (14) fixed on the intermediate plate (11) and the bottom plate (9) so that the bristle strings can be subsequently cut with a ripping knife (1) swinging back and forth in a free area without requiring a bedknife and without having to carry out further finishing operations of the cut edges.

Abstract: Vane pieces (31) which are in an outer peripheral edge
portion of an impeller (30) are divided into front and rear
groups by a partition wall (32), and arranged in a
staggered pattern, and outer peripheral faces of the vane
pieces (31) are protruded toward the outer peripheral side
with respect to the outer peripheral face of the partition
wall (32). Therefore, fuel portions respectively entering
vane grooves (33) which are divided into front and rear
groups do not simultaneously collide against end faces (9b)
of radial seal portions (9a). Consequently, the level of
noises due to the fuel collision can be lowered. 
Furthermore, a reverse-flow region is prevented from being
produced immediately above the partition wall (32).
Therefore, the pump efficiency can be improved.

Abstract: A rhombic shaped metal cutting insert is adapted for longitudinal
turning and copy turning. Opposing nose corners (NC) of the insert form equal
angles less than 60 degrees. A pair of side cutting edges (17,18  19,20) converge toward each
of the nose corners (NC). The side cutting edges of each pair form obtuse angles
with respective side cutting edges of the other pair. A longest diagonal (D1)
extending through the insert intersects both of the nose corners and forms an
acute angle relative to a diagonal (D2) which bisects both of the obtuse angles.
Each nose corner has a corner cutting edge formed by a plurality of curved
segments (38-42). First and second ones (40,42) of those segments are disposed on opposite
sides of the longest diagonal and together form an angle of about 90°. Situated
between the first and second segments is a third segment (41) which is intersected
by the longest diagonal. Adjacently disposed ones of the curved segments at
each corner have radii that are different from one another.

Abstract: Boundary surface (7) is formed by the upper surface of the cuvette (2) base. The cuvette has the form of a solid body, with the base accepting the assay medium. Transmitted light rays (3) are coupled in through a side wall (6) of the base, such that they reach the boundary surface (7) at the angle of total internal reflection. Preferred features: The base includes two plane opposite walls at an angle less than 90 degrees to the boundary surface. Light enters one, and after total internal reflection at the base surface, leaves by the other. The sidewalls are symmetrical about the plane of symmetry of the cuvette. The cuvette is essentially hollow cylindrical, the plane sidewalls forming angles in the cylindrical base. Open at the top, the cuvette has an upper panel forming a top section, which is inserted in a holder. The panel is rectangular, the holder fastening to the longer sides. A side edge of the panel is marked to indicate the cuvette contents. The cuvette is one-piece; a plastic injection molding. The transmitted rays (3) outside of the cuvette, run parallel to the boundary surface of the cuvette. The fluorescence rays (9) are coupled out through the underside of the cuvette base, and are led to the receiver (10). The transmitter (4) is arranged facing a sidewall (6) of the cuvette base. The transmitted rays, after leaving the cuvette (2) are led onto an optical sink (8). Mirrors with polarization filters can be arranged to send the rays repeatedly through the apparatus. The apparatus includes many cuvettes in the light paths from individual transmitters. Fluorescence rays from the individual cuvettes, are registered by a common receiver (10). Transmitters are activated individually and sequentially. The cuvette arrangement is linear. The cuvettes are alternatively arranged around a polygonal mirror taking fluorescence light to the receiver.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficiently charging
lead-acid batteries applies small voltage steps to probe
the charging efficiency of a battery being charged. The
application of a voltage step causes the current to
change from a base current to a surge current
immediately after the voltage step, and to decay
asymptotically to a plateau current after the surge
current. A current ratio, defined as the difference
between the plateau current and the base current divided
by the difference between the surge current and the base
current, is used as an indicator of the charging
efficiency. The output voltage of the power supply
charging the battery is then-adjusted according to the
measured current ratio. A current-voltage slope,
defined as the difference between the plateau current
and the base current divided by the magnitude of the
voltage step, may also be used as an indicator of the
charging efficiency for controlling the charging
process. Alternatively, in a current-controlled
charging process, small current steps are used to probe
the charging efficiency. For a current step, the
induced voltage changes are measured, and a transient-plateau
voltage ratio is calculated. The charging
current is then adjusted according to the calculated
voltage ratio.
