Title: Internal high pressure forming method for hollow profiled blank uses bending process to form central profile line, and internal forming process to give shape
Inventor: LEPPIN CHRISTIAN
IPC: B21D26/02
Filed: 1999-11-18
Abstract: The blank is formed by internal pressure generated by a flowing medium, until a finished profile engages on the wall of a forming chamber. Before internal pressure forming, the original profiled blank (10a) is bent to a cross section with favorable bending characteristics at a distance to its free ends (13) and at right angles to the longitudinal axis (A). During bending, the central line of the profile is formed. The blank is formed in a tool (12,12r), and the original profile may be formed by extrusion.

Abstract: A waste water treatment assembly (10) has an inclined trench part-filled with a bulk solid treatment agent. The trench has a ditch inlet (5) to the solid agent (11) and drains down an incline to an outlet (7). The empty space above the agent acts especially as a buffer basin (13) in periods of above-average incoming water flow. The trench and buffer form e.g. a reed bed. The upper surface (12) of the bulk solid (11) provides an active hydraulic link between the buffer and bulk solid. The assembly (10) dimensions are determined by the maximum expected water flow rate. Water flows through the bulk solid at a rate determined by the gradient. The maximum depth of the buffer basin is less than the difference in height between the outlet (7) drain (8) and the overflow (14) at the inlet (5) to the buffer basin. The maximum dept of the basin does not exceed the maximum acceptable depth for the plants during long wet periods.

Abstract: A process of irradiating high-energy electron beams on an item in cases when the
distance between a vacuum tube type of electron beam tube and item is extended to permit
processing of thick or large workpieces. In particular, electron beams are irradiated from an
electron beam tube within a processing chamber by way of a window to subsequently
irradiate an item, such as a resist or ink, that is applied to a workpiece. The atmosphere
within the processing chamber contains a gas having a lower density than that of air, such as
helium, a mixture of nitrogen and helium or neon. The distance traveled by the electron
beams from the electron beam tube can be extended and the area reached by the electron
beams can be expanded since the atmosphere within the processing chamber contains a gas
having lower density than that of air.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une nouvelle approche de remodelage de la cornée, par exemple pour effectuer des corrections de réfraction, utilisant de multiples coupes planaires déplacées et un gabarit de remodelage adapté. On peut opérer une grande modification de réfraction et/ou un prélèvement de tissu substantiel par une technique à deux coupes visant à remodeler la cornée selon la forme voulue, en utilisant un gabarit ou un élément d'aplanissement. Ce procédé consiste d'abord à appliquer le gabarit sur la cornée. Ce gabarit comprend un ou plusieurs segments, ou cames, mobiles placés de façon à constituer une surface de contact plate globale avec la cornée. On réalise ensuite une première coupe par microjet d'eau produisant un volet à charnière. La première coupe est parallèle mais déplacée par rapport à la surface interne de la cornée en contact avec le gabarit. La/les cames du gabarit sont ensuite replacées pour modifier in situ la forme de la surface de la cornée en prévision de la seconde coupe. Le volet à charnière n'est pas déplacé et il demeure en contact avec le lit du stroma. La deuxième coupe est parallèle au trajet de la première coupe. Cependant, puisque la cornée est remodelée, la seconde coupe forme une ligne de coupure dans la cornée. Après les première et seconde coupes, on peut retirer de la cornée un corps de tissu interne formé par les trajets relatifs des première et seconde coupes dans le tissu cornéen, de manière à remodeler la cornée et effectuer ainsi la correction de réfraction voulue. En l'occurrence, cette invention permet de réaliser un large éventail de corrections de réfractions et/ou de prélèvements tissulaires thérapeutiques en contrôlant directement la géométrie du volume tissulaire prélevé de l'intérieur de la cornée.

Abstract: An endless conveyor has a driven drum that rotates about its axis. A flexible band forms a helix by being wrapped around the drum. A fixed helical support supports the outer edge of the band. A secondary conveyor moves an endless series of stacking blocks. The stacking blocks are in frictional engagement with the drum to transfer driving forces from the drum to the blocks. The stacking blocks also keep the turns of the flexible band spaced apart by a distance equal to the height of the blocks. The secondary conveyor includes guides at both the top and bottom of the drum to guide the stacking blocks into and out of engagement with the inner edge of the flexible band. The stacking blocks are in slip-free and backlash free engagement with the inner edge of the flexible band, and the frictional engagement between the stacking blocks and the drum permits the stacking blocks to be displaced both axially and circumferentially on the surface of the drum.
