Abstract: A computer system accepting feature cards for, for example, coupling external peripheral devices includes a plurality of sockets mounted on the planar board to accept edge connectors on the cards, and slots in the main enclosure to permit coupling to external peripherals. To reduce electromagnetic radiation, the slots in the main enclosure have a depth such as to define channels, and the brackets on the cards are of U-shaped cross-section such as to fit within the channels. The channel walls are conductive, and the brackets are shaped to define spaced outward contact points which closely engage the channel walls.

Abstract: A cable feed-through element protected against splashing water is provided which has a circular disc-shaped seal made of a rubber elastic material constructed from a plurality of approximately identical sector elements. At least one of these sector elements has a through-bore for feeding through cables or a cable harness in a sealing manner. A groove, which is open radially outwards, for receiving the rim of an opening to be sealed runs on the peripheral outer jacket surface of the seal. The sector elements are held together by a star-shaped holding piece having a number of holding wings corresponding to the number of sector elements. The holding wings extend radially from the core of the holding piece and consist of two spaced, circular segment-shaped discs, between which the edge regions of the sector elements can be introduced under compression. A ring can be screwed on to the holding piece, which ring presses the seal in its peripheral region for producing a better seal with respect to the edge of the opening, e.g. in a splash wall. In addition, the holding piece with its holding wings prevents an axial penetration of the seal. By selecting suitable sector elements it is possible to adapt the cable feeding-through element according to the invention to the requirements of practical applications with respect to the number of cables to be sealed or the thickness of the cable harnesses to be sealed.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a superconductive coil by means of explosive compaction. A wire formed of silver having a superconductive oxide powder charged therein is formed into a coil. The coil is placed within a cylindrical vessel, into which a pressure medium is charged. Explosive compaction is carried out to cause compaction of the coil through the cylindrical vessel and the pressure medium and hence densify the coil, followed by heat-treating the coil in an air or oxygen atmosphere. The resulting superconductive coil possesses high critical electric current density. Advantageously, the coil is mounted on a mandrel axially extending therethrough, and placed together with the mandrel into the cylindrical vessel, before explosive compaction.

Abstract: A sprue gated injection molding system having nozzles with a removable hollow gate insert (68) received in a seat (78) in the forward end of each nozzle (10) to form the gate (76). Each gate insert (68) has a forward portion (72) with a tapered outer surface which abuts against a matching tapered surface (84) of an opening (38) through to mold to the cavity. The forward portion (72) of the gate insert (68) is resilient which ensures extremely good contact between them under bearing pressure due to thermal expansion of the nozzle. Thus optimum uniform heat transfer is provided between the gate insert and the cooled mold. The gate insert (68) has a circumferential removal flange (80) to facilitate it being pryed out of the seat if replacement is required. In an alternate embodiment an elongated torpedo (100) is seated centrally in the melt bore (30) of each nozzle. The torpedo (100) has an outer retaining ring (102) and a number of radially extending tapered fins (104) which form melt flow channels (108) between them. The torpedo (100) is mounted with the retaining ring (102) secured in the seat (78) in the forward end of the nozzle by the gate insert (68) and a pointed tip (110) formed by the fins extending to provide additional heat in or adjacent the gate. The torpedo has pointed tips (110, 112) at opposite ends and is reversible for different dimensioned applications.

Abstract: A stable baseline is achieved in a gradient ion chromatographic analysis by adding a nonionic modifier to the electrolytic eluent. The addition of the modifier may occur at any point upstream of the detector. The nonionic modifier has the effect of shifting the equilibrium of unsuppressed effluent electrolyte towards its nonionic form. For example, the addition of the nonionic modifer shifts both bicarbonate and carbonate towards the nonionic, nonconductive carbonic acid form.
