Abstract: An apparatus for optically checking the exterior quality of bulbous or vegetable products of various shapes and sizes, comprises means (12) for conveying a succession of fruit or vegetable products (1) along a path from an entry (2) to an exit (3) of the apparatus and a first observation station (4) positioned along the path and provided with at least a primary camera (40) in such a way as to define a primary field of view (41) for the observation of a first segment (42) of the path. A second observation station (5) is positioned along the path downstream of the first observation station (4) and is provided with at least a secondary camera (50) in such a way as to define a secondary field of view (51) for the observation of a second segment (52) of the path separate from the first segment (42). Means for upsetting the fruit or vegetable products (1) are structured in such a way as to act exclusively in a third segment (62) of the path interposed between the first and the second segment (42, 52), therein upsetting every fruit or vegetable product (1) from a first position, in which a first surface portion (10) of the fruit or vegetable product (1) falls within the primary field of view (41) when the fruit or vegetable product (1) is in the first segment (42) of the path, to a second position, in which a second surface portion (11) of the fruit or vegetable product (1), at least complementary to the first surface portion (10), falls within the secondary field of view (51) when the fruit or vegetable product is in the second segment (52) of the path. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Heat treatment of a cold-rolled steel strip involves annealing at a temperature located in the austenitic phase of the steel, cooling to a temperature located in the inter-critical region between the eutectoid and austenitic temperatures, stabilization at the final temperature of cooling, and tempering to ambient temperature. Heat treatment of a cold-rolled steel strip involves heating to an annealing temperature above the A3 temperature, stabilization at the annealing temperature, and tempering at a temperature below the critical temperature of martensitic transformation (Ms). The annealing temperature is above that of austenitic transformation (A3).  Between the stabilization and tempering stages, the steel strip is cooled to an intermediate temperature between the A1 and A3 transformation points, and is stabilized at the intermediate temperature. Independent claims are given for: (a) a process for the production of a formable steel strip; and (b) a formable steel strip obtained by the invented processes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling drilling mud density at a location either at the seabed (or just above the seabed) or alternatively below the seabed of wells in deep water and ultra deep water applications combines a base fluid of lesser density than the mud required at the wellhead to produce a diluted mud in the riser. By combining the appropriate quantities of drilling mud with base fluid, a riser mud density at or near the density of seawater may be achieved. A wellhead injection device for attachment to the wellhead is used for injecting the base fluid into the rising drilling mud at a location below the seabed. The riser charging lines are used to carry the low density base fluid to the injection device for injection into the drilling mud below the seabed. The cuttings are brought to the surface with the diluted mud and separated in the usual manner. The diluted mud is then passed through a centrifuge system to separate the heavier drilling mud from the lighter base fluid.
