Inventor: FUJINE MANABU
IPC: B22D17/24
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A production method for a cylinder block of an internal combustion
engine includes a first step and a second step. At the first step, a preform (2)
having an inside surface (2a) and an outside surface (2b) is set to a bore core (1)
so that a clearance (8) is formed between the inside surface (2a) of the preform
and an outside surface (1a) of the bore core (1). At the second step, a molten
metal (5) is supplied into a cavity (4) so that the molten metal (5) infiltrates into
the preform (2) from both the inside surface (2a) and the outside surface (2b) of
the preform (2) thereby changing to a metal matrix composite, which constitutes
an inside surface of a cast cylinder block.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus for measuring the optical
properties of bulk samples. A probe laser beam is fed into the two arms of the
apparatus, a reference arm and a measurement arm, both of which contain
optical fiber to conduct the laser lights. The measurement arm includes a free
space area for mounting a sample to be tested. The probe beam is directed
into the sample in free space. The sample also receives light in free space,
rather than via the optical fiber, from a second, pump laser. The interaction of
the sample and the pump laser affect the optical properties of the sample.
This change in optical properties can be detected by comparing the output
signals from the measurement and reference arms.

Abstract: A spray gun (10) for applying a liquid spray coating, such as paint,
to a surface incorporates a light source system for gauging the position
of the spray gun relative to a worksurface in order to optimize
application of the coating to the surface. The light source (38) is
preferably in the form of a laser which emits a pair of light beams
(50,52) toward the worksurface. The pair of light beams converge toward
each other in a direction toward the surface, and the position of the
beams on the surface is used by the operator to judge the distance of
the spray gun from the surface. An adjustment mechanism (54) is
interconnected with one of the light beam sources, so as to adjust the
point of convergence of the light beams. A closable door (60) is
associated with the spray gun housing at one of the light beam emitting
locations, to selectively prevent emission of one of the light beams
from the spray gun, such that a single light beam (50) is emitted from
the spray gun for use as a reference for spot application of the coating
to the surface.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de purifier un liquide par flottation, selon lequel l'eau à purifier et l'eau (ou liquide) de dispersion sont acheminées au niveau de la partie inférieure d'une première cuve (23) qui est longue et étroite, de préférence cylindrique. Un courant d'eau ascendant, réalisé dans la colonne d'eau définie par la forme de la cuve, confère aux particules ou floculations un mouvement ascendant. Ce mouvement ascendant augmente l'effet de flottation des microbulles créées dans la buse de dispersion et pendant la baisse de pression consécutive qui se produit dans la colonne d'eau. Par la conception de la cuve, on obtient une forte concentration de bulles. Cette cuve (23) est entourée, au moins au niveau de son extrémité ouverte supérieure, d'une seconde cuve (22) ouverte dont les bords sont plus hauts que le bord supérieur de la première cuve (23). Cette seconde cuve est dotée, au niveau de sa partie inférieure, d'un raccord (32) de tuyau destiné à l'évacuation du liquide épuré. Une troisième cuve (29), disposée au niveau de la partie supérieure de la seconde cuve, permet de recueillir les impuretés séparées de la seconde cuve (22).
