Abstract: A method of leakage testing a volatile liquid tank farm together with a vapour recovery system, to collect vapour from the tanks at the time of re-filling them with volatile liquid. The tank farm has individual fill-pipes (13) for each tank (10) with each fill-pipe outlet below the normal minimum liquid level in the tank and each tank having a vent-pipe (11) connected to a common manifold (25). To perform the test, the common manifold is closed to atmosphere and one side of a shut-off valve (17) is connected to the manifold (25), a flow meter (20) being connected to the other side of the shut-off valve. Flow meters (22, 23) are coupled to all but one of the fill-pipes (13), the shut-off valve (17) is opened to allow volatile liquid to be supplied to the remaining fill-pipe so as to increase the volume of volatile liquid in the associated tank, and the out-flow of gas or wet vapour from the common manifold (25) is monitored via the flowmeters (20, 22, 23) for substantial correlation to the volume of volatile liquid admitted into the tank associated with the remaining fill-pipe. The method can be modified also to allow the testing of individual tanks of a tank farm, where the vent pipes of the tanks individually vent to atmosphere, with the leakage test or vapour recovery system test then being performed one at time, on each of the individual tank(s).

Abstract: A vehicle cab is resiliently suspended on a vehicle frame. Between the cab and the frame is arranged a device for limiting the mobility of the cab relative to the frame during operation and upon tilting of the cab. The device incorporates two stop surfaces fastened to the cab, and a movement limiter fastened to a stabilizer which is fastened to the frame. The movement limiter extends between the stop surfaces so that it shifts between them upon movement of the link arms. The cab's mobility is limited by the fact that contact occurs between the movement limiter and the stop surfaces.

Abstract: A private branch exchange (PBX/PABX) is provided with a fixed wireless terminal, which allows both incoming and outgoing calls to be made on the private branch exchange. The fixed wireless terminal is coupled to the private branch exchange via an interface unit connected to one of the analog extension lines of the private branch exchange. A telephone extension serviced by the PBX/PABX places a call to a remote cellular telephone, or a remote cellular telephone user places a call to the telephone extension. When the PBX-user makes a call to a remote cellular telephone, one picks up a local PBX/PABX extension, and hears a dial tone, signifying that the PBX/PABX is ready to service his call. The caller then dials the directory number of the PBX/PABX extension which is provided for cellular calls. The PBX/PABX then automatically connects the caller to the cellular extension, which is the interfaced fixed wireless terminal. The caller then dials the directory number of the remote cellular telephone, and waits for connection. When a remote cellular telephone user calls the fixed wireless terminal interfaced to the PBX/PABX, he simply dials the cellular directory number of that fixed wireless terminal in the usual manner. When the fixed wireless terminal answers, the caller will hear the dial tone of the interfaced PBX/PABX, signifying that the PBX/PABX is ready to service his call. The remote caller then dials the extension on the PBX/PABX for the party to whom he wishes to speak, and is then connected.

Abstract: A method checks the flow rate for abnormalities while controlling the flow rate of fluid in a pressure-type flow controller FCS using an orifice - the pressure-type flow controller wherein with the upstream pressure P1 maintained about two or more times higher than the downstream pressure P2, the downstream flow rate QC is calculated by the equation QC = KP1 (K: constant) and wherein the control valve CV is controlled on the basis of the difference signal QY between the calculated flow rate QC and the set flow rate QS. The method comprises, outputting a testing signal  DELTA Qs having a testing amplitude Vo from a testing circuit provided separately or a flow rate setting circuit to the control valve CV, measuring the pressure amplitude V of the variable pressure  DELTA P1 of the pressure P1 on the upstream side of the orifice that arises in response to actuation of the control valve CV and setting off an alarm for the clogging of the orifice when the pressure amplitude V is smaller than a limit amplitude Vt. If the testing signal  DELTA Qs is superimposed on a steady-state set flow rate signal Qso and outputted to control the valve CV from the testing circuit or the flow rate setting circuit, the flow rate can be checked for abnormalities while controlling the flow rate by the steady-state set flow rate signal Qso. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of refurbishing turbine engine vanes in which an alloy blend of a cobalt based superalloy and a nickel based superalloy corresponding to the base material of the turbine vane cobalt platform and the base nickel material of the replacement turbine vane airfoils is laser clad to the gaspath surfaces of the turbine vane platform. Laser cladding with the alloy blend allows the use of replacement airfoils with improved castings in the form of improved nickel based superalloys, and allows a coating to be uniformly applied to the gaspath surfaces of the vane. According to the method, the platforms are separated from the airfoils and laser clad with a blend of cobalt based superalloy and nickel based superalloy. The vane is then reassembled using the laser clad platform and at least one replacement airfoil.

Abstract: A signal enhancement system improves the quality of a noisy input signal. The system finds a low noise signal model which best matches the noisy input signal. Noisy portions of the input signal are replaced with portions of the low noise signal models. As the input signal increases in noise content, the output signal includes an increasing amount of the low noise signal model. The system thereby produces an output signal with very low noise which corresponds to the input signal.

Abstract: An alignment structure (100) maintains an optical fiber in a bore (113). The structure is fixed on a bench and is passively or actively aligned with a light source. Then the structure may be welded or soldered to the optical bench whereby the alignment may suffer due to heat transfer. To correct this, the alignment structure can be plastically deformed to correct the alignment after the components have been fixed. The alignment structure has a substantially constant cross section in a z-axis direction as well as flexible links in order to allow displacements orthogonal to the optical axis. This movements will be initiated by seizing the component with a micro-positioner at a handle (136) and displacing it over the elastic limit to achieve permanent deformation.

Abstract: A surface treatment laser beam delivery and tracking system. The laser (500) generates laser light (502) along a path at an energy level suitable for treating a surface. An optical translator (520) shifts the path onto a resulting beam path. An optical angle adjuster (310, 316, 320, 326) changes the angle of the resulting beam path relative to the original path such that the laser light is incident on the surface to be treated. A motion sensor (100) transmits light energy (101-T) to the surface and receives reflected light energy (101-R) from the surface via the optical angle adjuster. The light energy travels on a parallel path to the shifted beam through the optical angle adjuster. The motion sensor detects movement of the surface relative to the original path and generates error control signals indicative of the movement. The optical angle adjuster responds to the error control signals to change the angle of the resulting beam path.
