Abstract: There is disclosed a method by which a channel-type induction heating apparatus is provided on a tundish (20), which comprises a steel receiving chamber (6) and a steel discharging chamber (7) each of which chambers is connected to the earth via molten steel flowing from a ladle, molten steel flowing into a mold, or a refractory, in such a manner that an earth circulating current is prevented from being generated. An electromagnetic connection of an induction heating coil (2) and an iron core (1) of a two-leg type or a three-leg type to a loop current circuit in the molten steel is arranged symmetrically, thereby suppressing the generation of an earth circulating current. By thus suppressing the generation of the earth circulating current, it becomes unnecessary to insulate an earth circuit as required in conventional constructions, and the maintenance of facilities becomes easier, and besides any malfunction of the equipment due to the earth circulating current is totally eliminated.

Abstract: Electronic push-button element as call and signal transmitter in elevator controls for fitting with rear fastening in operating panels at floors (storeys) and in elevator cars, comprising push-button guide, support plate, optical acknowledgement and electronic part. The mechanical part of the push-button element has a plunger element (1) which is movable to a limited extent in a guide of a luminous ring plate (5) and pressure-relieves a pressure-sensitive resistor FSR (3) by means of an elastic pressure cap (2) when the push-button element is actuated. The change in resistance of the FSR (3) effected under mechanical pressure results in a displacement of potential inside a voltage divider, whereby a switching transistor is put into the conductive state via a preamplifier/trigger, and the switching transistor, in turn, switches on a corresponding load. With separation of potential, an acknowledging circuit is closed by the load via a contact. The basic mechanical construction permits different variants with regard to design and function. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical system for high-sensitivity reflectivity measurement equipment has a simple structure that enhances the light utilization efficiency and simplifies the production process and reduces the cost. An aspherical concave mirror (10) with a predetermined central opening and a focal point (F21) set on the outside of the end surface of the opening is used. The region width of the mirror surface (10a) measured from the end surface of the opening is so determined that the light, incident from a proper light source (S2) and reflected by the mirror surface (10a), enters a sample (12) placed at the focal point (F21) at an incident angle Θ in the range of 60° ≦ 90°. Incident light is reflected by the aspherical concave mirror and the sample surface and again by the aspherical concave mirror so as to become outgoing light for detection. Thus, appropriate and efficient incidence of light to the sample (12) is enabled by a very simple structure having the aspherical concave mirror (10) as the main element so that high utilization of effective light is enabled and the detection accuracy is enhanced.

Abstract: A mass flowmeter has a flow tube inserted within the confines of a conduit containing a material flow. Mass flow information is derived for the material flow within the conduit by generating mass flow information for the material flowing within the smaller flow tube positioned within the conduit and then by adjusting the calculations for the flow tube to represent mass flow information for the conduit. In accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, a pressurized cover is positioned around the flow tube to isolate the exterior surface of the flow tube from the material in the conduit. The space between the exterior of the flow tube and the cover is pressurized to a pressure equal to that of the material in the conduit. Both sides of the flow tube walls are at the same pressure so that a flow tube comprised of thinner and more flexible material may be used. In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, the cover is not used and the flow tube is inserted directly into the conduit and the exterior walls of the flow tube are in contact with the material within the conduit. This embodiment is advantageous in applications in which the conduit material is of low viscosity. The embodiment with the pressurized cover is ideally suited for use in applications with heavy viscosity material.

Date Mar. 30, 1995An electromatically operated valve for automatic setting of a reduced flow cross section effective for a closed position of the valve is to be achieved. The valve has, in a valve dome, a longitudinally movable magnet armature with a separate valve push-rod which carries a closing element of a first seat valve which is open in the rest position. The first seat valve is located in a valve chamber from which a first pressure medium passage leads to a control chamber remote from the closing element and a second pressure medium passage leads to a control chamber, near the closing element, of the magnet armature. In addition, a second valve formed from the magnet armature and the valve push-rod is provided by means of which a connection between the first pressure medium passage and the second control chamber can be switched on and off. When the second valve takes up its closed position, the pressure in the control chamber remote from the closing element effects a displacement of the magnet armature against the force of a return spring and the result of this is a reduction in the flow cross section of the first seat valve. The valve can be employed in slip-controlled hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles.
