Abstract: A lightweight, easy to assemble, and compact exciter assembly for a compaction device such as a drum assembly of a vibratory trench roller or the like includes a fixed weight and one or more free swinging weights mounted on an exciter shaft, without using any mounting hardware, so as to hold the free swinging weights axially in position while permitting them to swing between first and second angular positions on the exciter shaft. Preferably, the fixed weight is mounted on a central portion of the exciter shaft, and two free swinging weights are mounted adjacent the ends of the fixed weight so as to be restrained from substantial sliding movement along the exciter shaft solely by the fixed weight and other operative components of the exciter assembly such as bearings and/or gears or other torque transfer elements. The reduction in length afforded by this design permits a reversible hydraulic motor to be mounted coaxially on the end of the exciter shaft without unacceptably increasing the overall length of a drum assembly, thereby further simplifying the machine's assembly and facilitating maintenance or repair of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a device and a method for continuous pressing of a plastically deformable blank into a three-dimensional section with a predetermined cross-sectional area, comprising a substantially cylindrical, fixed die, an opening formed in the die, through which the plastic blank is intended to be pressed, and at least one rotary die arranged adjacent to the opening, the rotary die having one or more recesses in its peripheral surface for forming the blank, during the rotation of the die, into a three-dimensional section with transverse sectional parts. According to the invention, the rotary die is arranged immediately downstream of the opening, whereby the blank is reducible, when passing through the opening, substantially down to the predetermined cross-sectional area, and formable, when passing the rotary die, thereby determining the final shape of the three-dimensional section. furthermore, the device is compatible with conventional extrusion machines in order to allow rapid switching of tools with no need for expensive production stop-pages.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture comportant un cliquet anti-surcharge avec un verrou radial (60) sollicité par ressort et des éléments d'arrêt. Ce cliquet anti-surcharge vise à éviter tout endommagement des pièces intérieures, lorsqu'un instrument d'effraction est introduit et tourné en force dans un rotor (10), en lieu et place d'une clef. Le rotor (10) est monté rotatif dans un canon (20) qui est lui-même positionné dans un boîtier fixe (30). Le verrou radial (60) sert à transférer, en cas normal, les actionnements de clef du rotor (10) sur un entraîneur qui coopère avec les éléments de la serrure. Afin de parvenir à une version à encombrement réduit, il est prévu de relier au canon (20), de manière bloquée en rotation, un élément à effet ressort (51) faisant partie du cliquet anti-surcharge. En mode normal, ledit élément à effet ressort (51) entre, sous l'effet de la sollicitation due au ressort, dans une partie évasée radiale extérieure (32), mais en est dégagé en cas de fonctionnement en roue libre. L'élément à effet ressort (51) effectue ainsi une course radiale. Cette course radiale sert à faire passer le cliquet radial (60) de sa position d'accouplement dans sa position de désaccouplement.

Abstract: The present, invention relates to a process for producing a fabric-elastomer composite that, when transfer or film coated, is preferable for use as an artificial leather substrate. The inventive procedure involves (a) producing an elastomer composition of at least four ingredients (an anionically-stabilized waterborne polymer dispersion, an acid-generating chemical, a cloud-point surfactant, and a foam-stabilizing surfactant); (b) incorporating sufficient gas into the liquid mixture to generate a spreadable foam; (c) applying the foam onto a porous textile substrate; (d) heating said foamed fabric until the elastomer coagulates over the fabric substrate; and (e) drying the resultant composite without destroying the coagulated structure. The resultant composite obtains a suppleness that is similar to that of leather and a surface that is suitable for transfer coating to produce artificial leather. The composite may be utilized as upholstery fabric in furniture or in automobiles, apparel, and the like. The particular composites produced are also contemplated within this invention.

Abstract: A digital imaging system is described that facilitates the location of anchors or targets in images of a scene. In one aspect, the digital imaging system makes use of differences as between the properties of the surfaces of the targets and the properties of the surfaces of the objects that are to be mensurated, reconstructed, etc., to facilitate providing uniform illumination of the targets when recording a set of images of the scene, thereby reducing noise that may arise in connection with determining the locations of the targets if they were illuminated by structured illumination, while contemporaneously providing that the objects can be illuminated by structured illumination when the images are recorded. In this aspect, the digital imaging system can use the positions of the targets in the images to relate a local coordinate system associated with the image set to a global coordinate system. In a second aspect, the digital imaging system makes use of one or more of a plurality of algorithms to determine the locations of targets in the images of the scene in the respective objects. In this aspect, the digital imaging system records two sets of images, including a baseline set and a working set. The baseline set is recorded using uniform illumination, with the baseline set comprising only images of the targets. The working set is recorded using structured illumination, with the working set comprising image of both the targets and the objects. The working set is used in connection with mensuration, virtual reconstruction, etc., and one or more of the algorithms are used to determine the likely positions of the targets in the images in the working image set, and to determine transformations between the baseline and working image set such that the local coordinate system associated with the working image set can be related to the global coordinate system.

Abstract: Electrically conducting electrodes, are produced using an injection molding unit with a plastifying worm and a nozzle that delivers the material. <??>A process for producing electrically conducting electrodes, especially bipolar plates for fuel cells, comprises injection molding using a unit which has a plastifying worm (16). The material molded is a compound material which uses polymeric plastic as a binder, and more than 80wt% of a powdery electrically conducting material e.g. graphite etc as the filler material. The plastifier delivers the material via a nozzle which is less than 15mm in length. The injection molding unit flow path does not reduce in cross section from the supply point to the mould, by more than 10:1 especially 5:1. The compression ratio in the plastifier worm is no more than 1.6:1, and is between 1:1.2 and 1:1 for duroplasts. The electrodes are formed by injection stamping. The electrodes are later tempered or sintered.

Abstract: A system and method for hardware based reassembly of a fragmented packet is shown. The method includes receiving a bandwidth request to transfer a data packet from the data provider (202). Then, bandwidth is allocated (204) to the data provider, where the allocated bandwidth is less than the requested bandwidth. Next, part of the data packet is received in the allocated bandwidth from the data provider, where the part of the data packet includes a fragment header, and the fragment header includes a sequence number for the part of the data packet (206, 208). The part of the data packet is then stored in external memory (210). Finally, the data packet is reassembled (214) by concatenating in the correct sequence the part of the data packet with other parts of the data packets to create the reassembled data packet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Multi-layer microfluidic splitting devices are provided. A common fluid inlet fluidly communicates with a branching channel network that evenly divides a fluid flow to a plurality of outlets. Even splitting is provided by maintaining substantially equal fluidic impedance across all branch channels. Substantially equal fluidic impedance may be provided by maintaining a substantially equal flow path length between the common inlet and each of the outlets. The use of multiple device layers permits fabrication of such a device without geometrically complex channel structures, high feature density, and two-dimensional outlet arrays.
