IPC: B22D41/00
Filed: 1997-04-01
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB97/00899 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 5, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 5, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 1, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/37799 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 16, 1997A tundish impact pad comprises the body of refractory material capable of withstanding contact with molten steel. The body comprises a base having an impact surface for molten steel, and an outer side wall extending upwardly from the impact surface. The outer side wall extends around the base to completely enclose it, an annular body portion connected to the side wall and providing a top surface substantially parallel to the impact surface and defining an opening into which molten steel can be poured. The lower surface of the annular body portion and the inner face of the side wall define a recess having an undercut portion extending continuously around and above the impact surface. A first portion of the top surface is at a lower level than the remainder at the top surface and the recess beneath the first portion of the top surface has a smaller cross-section than the remainder of the recess. The impact pad is particularly useful with a longitudinally-extending tundish having a steel inlet zone toward the end opposite to the outlet zone(s).

Title: Child safety barrier
Inventor: ANDERSEN FINN
IPC: E05B65/00
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: By child barriers to be clamped in a door way, staircases and the like narrow passages to deny children and pets access, said barrier furnished with a gate it is difficult to achieve the correct clamping force of the barrier and there is also the risk that the gate buckles and furthermore there are problems with locking the gate. Said problems are solved according to the invention by a special design of the hinge which makes the upper bar appear rigid in its entire length when the gate is in the closed position. Besides, in the upper bar a pressure indicator is built in and furthermore the friction blocks are secured against the lining being stripped off. The handle of the gate is likewise secured by means of a blocking means.

Abstract: La détection par chimiluminescence de molécules d'origine synthétique ou naturelle, telles que des protéines et des acides nucléiques (ADN et ARN), ainsi que d'autres molécules biologiques, remplace de plus en plus la détection par radioactivité en tant que méthode de choix dans laquelle la sensibilité est critique. Dans ce type de méthode, on obtient habituellement la luminescence par oxydation d'un substrat de luminol ou d'isoluminol en présence d'un agent oxydant, tel que peroxyde d'hydrogène ou qu'une source de peroxyde d'hydrogène, telle que perborate, ainsi que d'un catalyseur de peroxydase, telle qu'une peroxydase de raifort. Un amplificateur de luminescence est également présent pendant l'oxydation, afin d'obtenir des niveaux utiles de luminescence (par exemple, des niveaux détectables) au moyen de techniques classiques. On a découvert dans la mise en application de cette invention que les amplificateurs d'azine contiennent une impureté diminuant les propriétés des solutions de travail utilisées dans les méthodes de détection par chimiluminescence. L'invention concerne une solution de travail, un procédé d'utilisation de cette solution de travail, ainsi que des trousses contenant des solutions pouvant être mélangées afin d'obtenir les solutions de travail, y compris une solution utile dans la méthode de détection par chimiluminescence de l'activité de peroxydase et comprenant: (a) au moins un diacylhydrazide cyclique chimiluminescent, (b) au moins un amplificateur d'azine, (c) au moins un agent oxydant, ledit amplificateur d'azine contenant une quantité inférieure à 0,005 parties molaires sur la base totale molaire de composés d'azine dans lesquels un atome d'hydrogène est fixé à un atome d'azote de la chaîne d'azine. On a découvert que cet azine contenant de l'hydrogène est un agent toxique pour l'efficacité de l'amplificateur d'azine.

Filed: 1997-05-05
Abstract: A cooperative feedback system (210) is provided for a compensation system associated with a transmitter or codec, for enabling the compensation system to improve the accuracy of digital signals transmitted to a digital network (113). The cooperative feedback system is particularly suited for providing feedback to a compensation system (130) for correction distortion resulting from rob bits signaling (RBS), digital loss, or other types of digital signal degradation. The cooperative feedback system includes a compensation selector (204) in a transmitter (181) that combines compensations with frames of digital data by way of an addition mechanism to produce modified digital data frames. A receiver (214) is configured to receive the modified digital data frames (118b) from the digital network (113), to determine if accuracy of each of the modified digital data frames has increased based upon a corresponding compensation, and to communicate one or more quality feedback signals (118a) to the transmitter (181) via the digital network (113). The transmitter (181) receives the quality feedback signal(s) and selects and implements the compensation that yields a highest accuracy based upon the quality feedback signal(s).

Abstract: Cet appareil, qui sert à détecter les pertes d'amplitude dans des impulsions de stimulation cardiaque, comprend un comparateur qui compare la tension d'impulsion effective avec une tension de référence. Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de cette invention, la tension de référence est déterminée comme un pourcentage de l'amplitude d'impulsion programmée. La comparaison de la tension de référence et de la tension effective est verrouillée au moment où une impulsion est effectivement créée, pour produire un signal indiquant si l'amplitude de l'impulsion effective dépasse la référence. Lorsque cette amplitude tombe au-dessous de la référence, le système peut entreprendre une action correctrice.

Abstract: A method of winding stators having skewed slots and an apparatus for performing the method. The method includes the steps of positioning a stator (108) in a stator winding machine wherein the winding machine includes a winding spindle (18) having a wire exit aperture (110). Wire is fed through the wire exit radially outwardly for placement on the stator while the winding spindle is simultaneously moved in rotating and reciprocating movement to direct wire into the slots (112) and around the ends of the teeth (114) of the stator. The wire is fed at a predetermined rate from a feed mechanism (78) located upstream from and mounted for movement with the winding spindle. The rate at which the wire is fed may be varied depending on the position of the winding spindle in a winding cycle and the desired position for placement of the wire within the stator.

Title: Locking device
Inventor: KUENG OTTO
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 1997-12-08
Abstract: A locking device for a lock cylinder (12) has an electronically controlled inhibiting element (2), which in an inhibit position (xS) blocks movement of a rotor (1) relative to a stator (6) and frees the rotor (1) in a free position (xF). A drive (9) exerts a working force (FA) on the inhibiting element (2), by which inhibiting element (2) can be reversibly transferred from the inhibit position (xS) into the free position (xF) and vice versa. A guide (52-57) is connected to the drive (9) and, at least outside the free position (xF), clearly defines the position of the inhibiting element (2). A restoring device (3) exerts a restoring force (FR) directed away from the free position (xF) on the inhibiting element (2), when that element is between the free position (xF) and a rest position (xO). In the rest position (xO) and in positions between the rest position (xO) and the free position (xF), the inhibiting element inhibits movement of the rotor (1). The locking device is resistant to external, undesired vibration and/or shock effects or magnetic action.

Abstract: This new method moulds long, multi-axial, curved hollow plastic tubes. An extruded (14) tubular preform (12) is laid into a blowing mould (18) cavity (16). The length of the moulding surface supporting the preform, is at least part-horizontal. The mould closes and the preform is internally pressurised, forcing it against the walls. During laying, the novel preform grip (36) makes a three-dimensional excursion over the mould cavity. It follows a new guidance jig (24) as it lowers the preform into the mould cavity. This has walls (28, 30) diverging upwardly. Their minimum separation corresponds to the maximum width of the cavity (16). The preform is guided through the lower opening of the jig, into the mould cavity, maintaining correct orientation. Also claimed is the corresponding blow moulding unit.
