Abstract: The invention relates to the control of an equipped printed circuit card, particularly the welding seams of the card, and is conveniently usable for cards fitted with surface-mounted components (CMS). According to the invention, the control method comprises at least the following phases: - heating for a short duration the card (or an extended portion of the card), - taking a thermographic image of the card (or of said extended portion) after stopping the heating, preferably as soon as the heating has been stopped, - treating the image by detecting any thermal difference with respect to a predefined standard for areas of the card to be controlled, for example, welding seam-receiving areas. The invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing such control method.

Abstract: The wall element consists of a bottom wall (10) with, standing vertically thereon, a shield (11) and, extending rearwards at the side of the shield (11), side walls (12, 13). In the case of high walls, which may be 7 m high and higher, it has been established that the side walls (12, 13) do not withstand the high static load which exerts a moment on the bottom wall and collapse. The side walls (12, 13) are thus designed in such a manner that their upper end faces (12a, 13a) lie above the channel-like recesses (14, 15) present in the lower surface of the bottom wall (10). The load is thus transmitted only through the side walls (12, 13) and the side walls therefore break no longer.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for regulating the temperature of an adjustable-crown roll. The roll mantle (12) arranged revolving on the stationary axle (11) of the roll (10) is loaded by passing a pressure medium into a pressure chamber (15) or series of chambers formed between the axle (11) and the mantle (12) so as to correct the deflection of the roll mantle (12). The roll (10) is additionally heated/cooled by passing heating/cooling fluid into the roll (10). The heating/cooling fluid used for the regulation of the temperature of the roll (10) is introduced into the roll (10) as substantially uniformly distributed over the areas of the roll (10) in which heat is removed/produced in the radial direction of the roll. The heating/cooling fluid is passed into the pressure chamber (15) in the roll (10), in which case, by its means, pressurization of said chamber (15) is also carried out, and/or into the unpressurized chamber (16) of the roll (10), in which case the function of the fluid is exclusively regulation of the temperature. The invention further concerns a regulation system intended for carrying out the method.

Abstract: The measurement of an angle of incidence ( alpha ) of a light beam (W) uses a polarised light beam which is passed through a birefringent plate (7) and then through an analysing polariser (9) to obtain a series of interference fringes. The spacing between the peaks of the said fringes, which is a direct function of the angle to be measured, is analysed using a suitable detector (10) and an electronic circuit (11). 
<??>A device of this sort can be used to measure the distance between itself and a reflecting surface on the object to be measured (12). A reference spacing between the peaks of the interference fringes is determined for a certain position of the object and the variation in the spacing is measured as a function of the various positions of the object. These positions are then displayed in units of length. 
<??>With such a method, angles of incidence or distances can be measured using a device which is compact, has a greater range of measurement than previously and is more accurate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of contacting a liquid with different gases sequentially in separate mass transfer zones within a single vessel, the mass transfer zones operatively connected in liquid communication with each other, including intimately contacting the liquid with a first process gas in cocurrent flow in a first mass transfer zone to effect mass transfer between the first liquid and the process gas, and introducing the liquid into a second mass transfer zone with a second gas, different from the first gas, in cocurrent flow with the second liquid, thereby effecting mass transfer between the second liquid and the second gas. The rate of flow of the liquid from said first mass transfer zone to second mass transfer zone and recirculation to the first mass transfer zone is motivated by the difference in density of the contents of the liquid phase portion of each mass transfer zone and a following liquid downcomer or flow channel connecting it to the next sequential mass transfer zone, such that after passing through the last mass transfer zone, the liquid recirculates to the first mass transfer zone. The apparatus and method are ideally suited to carrying out the process of hydrogen sulfide removal from gases by means of an air-regenerated liquid redox catalyst, such as chelated iron. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A machine translation system includes an automatic routing system for automatically translating input text of a source language and sending output text of a selected target language to an addressee, in response to designations of the addressee, the target language, and/or the selected sublanguage scanned from a cover page for the input text. The system can interface with a number of input sources, such as a fax machine combined with a page scanner, a fax/modem board, or a network interface coupled to a server computer system. The server computer system can control the operation of the machine translation module for multiple target languages and/or sublanguages as designated by the cover page. A page formatting module is used to compose the translated text into a desired page format, and to provide footnotes for alternate translations of ambiguous phrases of the input text. The cover page can also designate a plurality of addressees in different target languages. The output end of the system may be a fax/modem board for sending output text to an addressee's fax number, a network interface, or a page printer for printed copy. The machine translation module(s) of the system may be upgraded or replaced without disruption to the overall telecommunications routing functions of the system.
