Abstract: Heat shield panels (4) arranged below a hot material path are supported in a manner which allow limited movement. Carry-over bars (10) at opposite ends of each panel are also displaceably mounted and have bearer elements (20) which lie below the panels. When a carry-over bar is struck by distorted material, it will be momentarily displaced and, through supporting engagement of the bearer elements with the panel, displacement of the panel also occurs, so disturbing loose deposits on its top faces (4c). Occasional agitation of the panels is thereby provided passively and the build-up of deposits on a panel top face can be countered in a manner which allow the angle of slope of the top faces to be reduced.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A thermistor probe with improved heat transfer between the housing and the thermistor element is provided which includes a housing which is adapted to be disposed in an environment with a temperature to be measured by the probe. Within the housing is a thermally conductive insert which corresponds to a cavity within the housing. The insert has an aperture with a generally rectangular cross section to receive a thermistor disk. The thermistor disk has a positive or negative temperature coefficient of electrical resistance. The generally rectangular aperture is constructed such that the thermistor disk can be inserted into the aperture in a close fitting relationship with the aperture. While the entire outer surface of the thermistor disk may not be in contact with the walls of the aperture in the insert, the heat transfer between the housing and the thermistor disk (through the insert) is greatly improved over thermistor probes of the past.

Abstract: A linear motion bearing assembly as provided for movement along a shaft. The ball retainer of the bearing assembly is assembled from a plurality of arcuate interengageable self-contained ball retainer segments. Preferably, the plurality of segments are all identical and can be assembled to a variety of configurations for either open-type bearing assemblies or closed-type bearing assemblies. Each of the ball retainer segments includes at least one ball track having a load bearing portion and a return portion. These segments are preferably formed of an engineering polymer and are substantially self-contained to protect the bearing balls contained therein from ambient contamination. At least one load bearing plate is axially positioned in each segment and serves to receive and transmit loads from the bearing balls in the load bearing portion of the ball tracks. The load bearing plates are preferably retained in the segments to facilitate ease of assembly and to eliminate the need for an outer housing. The segments are joined together to form the overall bearing assembly either through interlocking structure formed on each segment or by retainer clips or bands. Optionally, end seals may be positioned on the longitudinal ends to protect the bearing assembly from ambient contamination. A novel and efficient assembly process is also provided for linear motion bearing assemblies. This process includes the steps of providing a plurality of arcuate self-contained ball retainer segments, each of said segments including at least one ball track having a load bearing portion and a retainer portion; loading a plurality of bearing balls into the ball track; positioning a load bearing plate in the segment adjacent the load bearing portion of the ball track; and assembling the arcuate self-contained ball retainer segments to form a linear motion bearing assembly.

Abstract: A sensor uses an immobilized affinity component capable of interacting with analyte species and being associated with a conducting polymer such that the interaction of the affinity component and the analyte induces change in the electrical properties of the polymer. An AC signal is applied to the polymer, and the induced change in impedance resulting from the interaction is measured. The impedance is measured at a frequency or frequencies corresponding to a peak or peaks in the relationship between frequency and impedance change for the polymer and the analyte. The measurement may be made by reference to the imaginary or real component of impedance. The polymer may be in the form of a layer bridging two electrodes between which the impedance is measured. The two electrodes may together define an interdigitated electrode assembly.
