Abstract: Method of de-coating metallic coated scrap pieces, the metallic coated scrap pieces comprising a metallic core layer and a metallic coating layer of which the liquidus temperature of the metallic coating layer is lower than the solidus temperature of the metallic core layer, such as brazing sheet scrap pieces, or from metallic coated scrap pieces of which the upper part of the melting range of the metallic core layer has an overlap with the lower part of the melting range of the metallic core layer. The metallic coating layer is at least partially removed from the metallic core layer of said scrap pieces by agitating the scrap pieces at an elevated temperature T above the solidus temperature of the metallic coating layer and below the liquidus temperature of the metallic core layer, together with abrading particles. The abrading particles are brought into fluidisation during the agitating of the metallic coated scrap pieces, thereby forming a fluidised bed.

Abstract: In a method for position decoding, a position is calculated on the basis of information determined from a partial area, imaged by a sensor, of a position-coding pattern. If the position calculation fails, the information from the partial area recorded by the sensor is matched with information about how the position-coding pattern with information about how the position-coding pattern is designed in a plurality of matching partial areas, which each define a position in the position-coding pattern. The position of the positions defined by the matching partial areas, which according to the matching step is the most probable position in the position-coding pattern for the imaged partial area is accepted as the decoded position. A device and a computer program for carrying out the method are also described.

Abstract: An escalator drive assembly (30) includes a sensor that facilitates detecting when the normal drive assembly operation is interrupted, such that a brake should be activated. In one example, a sensor member (40) in the form of a flange (42) is associated with a drive pulley (34) and normally rotates in unison with the drive pulley. When there is a failure in the normal operation of the drive mechanism, however, there is a resulting relative movement between the sensor member (40) and the drive pulley (34). Such relative motion preferably activates a switch (80) that provides a signal that indicates a failure of the normal operation of the drive mechanism (30). Another example sensor includes a sensor member (202, 212) that engages a drive belt (35). If the belt (35) breaks, the sensor member (202, 212) moves to provide an indication of the broken belt condition. Various braking application modes are possible using the invention.
