Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production de pièces en SMC, à partir d'une quantité adaptée de résine synthétique fibreuse et réactive disponible sous forme de pièces découpées définies de préimprégnés. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à : introduire les préimprégnés selon un nombre défini de couches dans un outil de formage chauffé d'une presse à mouler ; extruder la composition résineuse/fibreuse dans l'outil de formage se fermant, de façon à obtenir une pièce en SMC ; durcir cette dernière thermiquement, puis la retirer de l'outil de formage. L'objectif de l'invention est de pouvoir produire avec une très grande précision, lors de chaque cycle de production, des piles de préimprégnés présentant un poids toujours invariable, malgré la masse surfacique variable des préimprégnés. A cet effet, une pièce découpée de référence présentant toujours une forme et des dimensions invariables est coupée à dimension et chaque fois pesée séparément, lors du pesage des pièces découpées. Les dimensions relatives à la masse surfacique des pièces de correction à couper sont déterminées mathématiquement, à partir du poids et des dimensions de la pièce découpée de référence ainsi que du poids total souhaité de la pile de préimprégnés, pour obtenir de manière précise le poids théorique de la composition résineuse à introduire. Deux approches différentes sont exposées : dans une approche, le préimprégné est introduit dans l'outil de formage de manière multicouche, et dans l'autre approche, il y est inséré de manière monocouche.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une terminaison qui connecte un câble supraconducteur haute température (HTS) immergé dans de l'azote liquide sous pression à des traversées externes (protections) neutres haute tension, à température et pression ambiantes. Ladite terminaison est constituée d'un raccord entre les conducteurs (intérieurs) d'alimentation HTS et les conducteurs (extérieurs) de protection et des tuyaux concentriques en cuivre qui sont les conducteurs situés dans la terminaison. On trouve également une transition s'étendant entre l'isolateur en bande diélectrique utilisé dans le câble HTS et les isolateurs utilisés entre les tuyaux en cuivre situés dans la terminaison et autour de ces tuyaux. Au niveau de l'extrémité chaude de la terminaison, les tuyaux en cuivre sont connectés par l'intermédiaire de bandes tressées de cuivre aux traversées extérieures chaudes classiques qui présentent de faibles contraintes thermiques. Cette terminaison permet d'obtenir, à un gradient thermique naturel, dans les tuyaux en cuivre situés à l'intérieur de la terminaison, le passage instantané contrôlé à l'état gazeux du liquide de refroidissement (azote) sous pression. La terminaison entière est ainsi proche de la pression d'amenée du liquide de refroidissement, et les traversées froides de protection et haute tension, qui sont des éléments soumis à de fortes contraintes utilisés dans la plupart des câbles HTS, sont éliminées. Une fermeture étanche coulissante permet d'obtenir une contraction du câble à mesure qu'il se refroidit et passe de la température ambiante à 72-82 K. Des joints, un vide statique, et une superisolation multicouche réduisent au minimum la fuite thermique radiale dans l'environnement.

Abstract: A timepiece includes a plurality of coaxially mounted disks which are driven with different periods, at least some of the disks having a time indicator area which is visible through one or more transmissive areas on one or more disks which lie over it. In a preferred embodiment, one of the disks is provided with three concentric annular zones and is driven with a period of sixty seconds. The outermost zone has discrete reflective areas which are visible through discrete transmissive areas in an overlying annular zone. The inner zones have discrete transmissive areas through which discrete reflective areas in two concentric annular zones on two respective lower disks are visible. The lowermost disk is driven with a period of twelve hours and is visible through a central transparent area of an intermediate disk which is driven with a period of sixty minutes. The appearance of the reflective areas through the transmissive areas gives an impression of a flowing change in patterns around each of the zones, while indicator areas visible through the transmissive areas give an indication of seconds, minutes, and hours. Other embodiments utilize zones having transmissive areas of varying radial width and/or transmissivity to achieve a unique visual effect. A simple embodiment has reflective areas on a stationary face and a single rotating disk thereover, with indicator areas having the form of conventional watch hands therebetween. The desired visual effect may be chosen by computer simulation of the transmissive and reflective areas. Likewise the timepiece may implement as a digital display.

information. After the generated Z-axis earth magnetic data and the measured X-axis and Y-axis
earth magnetic data are converted into the horizontal coordinate system, the calculated azimuth
