Title: Arrangement of clamping jaws on a flame-cutting machine for continuous casting
IPC: B23K7/00
Filed: 1989-08-16
Granted: 1992-05-06
Abstract: When subdividing cast billets, the flame-cutting machines used for this are clamped via clamping jaws (17) tangentially against the longitudinal edge of the billet (19). In this process, the cutting torch of the clamping jaws is swivelled into an initial cutting position and positioned by means of control elements coupled to the clamping jaws and the cutting torch. In order to avoid an adjustment of the control elements in the case of billets of different widths and heights and in the case of different continuous-casting billet forms, it is proposed according to the invention that the axes of rotation (20, 21) of the clamping jaws (17) and of the cutting torch (28) be situated in a common horizontal or vertical plane (22) and the clamping jaws (17) be situated over the centre (23) of their axis of rotation (21) and that, on swivelling the clamping jaws (17) with the cutting torch into the clamping position or initial or final cutting position, the longitudinal axis (26) of the clamping jaws and the longitudinal axis (28) of the cutting torch swivel virtually parallel to one another in the cutting plane. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Tap selector for step-down transformers actuated in one step, in which the fixed tap contacts of one phase are arranged in two planes on the circumference of the cylinder, and in which a central contact tube is arranged, which carries a moveable contact in each plane and can be actuated in steps by means of an actuating disc, which is seated on its upper end and in which an actuating crank having two cams offset by 180 DEG  reciprocally engages. The tap selector possesses a change-over selector that can be actuated after a complete revolution and is arranged flush underneath the tap selector, the contacts of which change-over selector are situated in a further plane of the cylindrical tap selector and the moveable contacts of which changeover selector can be actuated depending upon the drive of the contacts of the tap selector. In this arrangement, the moveable change-over selector contacts (30) are seated at the end of a selector shaft (31) arranged concentrically in the contact tube (21), it being possible for the selector shaft to be actuated by means of a crank (32) seated on its upper end depending upon the actuating disc (28) of the tap selector. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for the examination of structures on membrane surfaces
IPC: G01N23/227
Filed: 1989-06-16
Granted: 1993-09-22
Abstract: Structures on membrane surfaces are usually examined by Auger electron spectroscopy, which gives high resolution. But, with this method, the structure being examined is subjected to high stresses. The invention proposes an Auger spectroscopy apparatus modified so that it is suitable for high-resolution X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy. Not only can high resolution be achieved with this apparatus, but also the material under investigation is subjected to only low stresses. The primary electron beam from an Auger probe impinges on the rear surface of the membrane, thereby inducing X-ray radiation. These X-rays cause photo-electrons to be emitted from the membrane surface. The photo-electrons are used in the analysis of the uppermost layers of atoms in the surface. The sample holder is designed as a Faraday cage so that it can be used to capture the electrons emerging from the rear surface of the membrane. The method is suitable for the examination of very fine structures (micron and sub-micron range).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP90/00261 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 6, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 6, 1991 PCT Filed Feb. 16, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/10940 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 20, 1990. In a current transformer arrangement for three-wire three-phase systems, use is made of a single busing transformer (4) arranged on the three-phase side. Two of the total of three phase conductors are pushed through the bushing transformer, specifically either with the same number of turns per unit length and in mutually opposite defined directions or with the same direction and with the ratio of different numbers of turns per unit length of 2:1 or with the same direction and a current flow halved in a phase conductor by a shunt (15). These arrangements prevent the occurrence of a zero resultant magnetic flux. The double secondary voltage produced by a double AW value occurring twice during each period is halved by an electronic correcting circuit. The control commands are derived from suitable control pulses for the thyristors (21-26) of the three-phase bridge circuit (16). Two correcting circuits are specified. The main advantage resides in the considerable saving in current transformer material and thus also in space required.

Abstract: The raw waste water flowing into the activation tank (11) is aerated together with the sludge from the anaerobic intermediate stage (44) and then flows together with sludge flakes into the intermediate clarifying tank (13). There is thus a sludge circuit from the intermediate clarification tank (13) via the anaerobic intermediate stage (44) and the activation tank (11) back to the intermediate clarification tank (13). This results in a continuous interchange of anaerobic and aerobic medium conditions. In the anaerobic conditions in the anaerobic intermediate stage (44) the bacteria in the sludge give off phosphates, then in the subsequent aerobic phase increased quantities of phosphate are stored. The circuit described is not adversely affected by nitrites and nitrates because there are none of these substances which interfere with biological phosphorus elimination in the intermediate clarification tank (13). The anoxic preliminary stage (15) is important in eliminating nitrogen. To this stage are fed three components, i.e. oxygen-containing waste water with sludge flakes from the activation tank (17), clarification sludge from the post-clarification tank (19) and waste water from the intermediate clarification tank (13). Because of the high sludge concentration there is a shortage of oxygen which facilitates the reduction process by optionally aerobic bacteria. This reduction process reduces nitrites and nitrates to elementary nitrogen. The water flowing out of the plant via line (20) is largely free of phosphates and ammonium salts.
