Abstract: A clamp having an U-shaped clamp body (1) which engages a profile such as a rectangular or square pipe (2) on three sides (3, 4, 5), while the fourth side (6) of the profile is engaged by a bolt (7) which is secured by a nut (8) and extends through conical holes (9, 10) in the free legs of the clamp body (1). Conical washers (11, 12) on the bolt (7) engage the conical holes (9, 10) on the far side from the pipe (2), meaning that the bolt (7) is located somewhat eccentrically in the holes (9, 10). Tightening the bolt (7) by means of the nut (8) makes the clamp body (1) squeeze the top side (3) and bottom side (4) of the pipe (2). The conical washers (11, 12) in the conical holes (9, 10) make the bolt (7) squeeze the pipe (2) in the direction of the back side (5) of the pipe. The pipe (2) is thus squeezed from all sides, giving a strong and stable clamp connection.

Abstract: A system and method for using a sectored antenna arrangement within a cellular base station to provide redundant coverage within the surrounding cell is disclosed herein. An antenna feed network connects elements of the sectored antenna arrangement to a set of communication transceivers, wherein the feed network includes a combiner array for combining selected ones of the antenna beams upon failure of one of the communication transceivers. A switch network serves to provide the resultant combined beam to an operative one of the communication transceivers. Alternately, the sectored antenna arrangement includes an antenna array having a plurality of switchable antenna elements, each connected to one of the communication transceivers. The switchable antenna elements project a set of variable-width antenna beams over the plurality of cell sectors. Upon one of the communication transceivers becoming inoperative, an antenna control network operates to adjust beam width of a selected one of the variable-width antenna beams by switching configuration of an associated one of the switchable antenna elements. In another approach each antenna within a primary array is disposed to project a beam over a single sector, while each element within a redundant array is designed to encompass a pair of adjacent sectors. Upon one of the transceivers becoming inoperative, a transceiver nominally assigned to cover a sector neighboring the failed sector is connected to the element within the redundant array encompassing both the failed and neighboring sectors.

Abstract: With prior art systems, the safety of railway travel is ensured largely by means of fixed signals which visually signal to the train driver an interdiction or authorization to proceed. For high speeds, complementary systems providing driver's cab signalling and acting linerarly on the train have come into use. Owing to their high safety requirements, however, such systems involve very high capital and operating costs. In the method proposed, when authorization to proceed is required the status of each of the track-safety installations relevant to a particular length of track is determined by interrogating the installations in accordance with a predetermined programme by radio, using a device fitted on board the traction unit, and the status of each safety installation is compared with reference data stored in the system for this length of track to determine conformity with pre-defined criteria. If these criteria are met, authorization is given to proceed along the length of track, the authorization being indicated visually on the display in the traction unit in addition to the track display. The method proposed can be used for the collection, processing and visualization of status data for the control of safety-relevant processes. It is particularly suitable for the economical operation of tracks with light or medium-intensity traffic. If the device in the traction unit is a mobile one, there are no restrictions on the operation of other traction units.

Abstract: A multi-bed, down-flow reactor includes several distributor assemblies, each having a centrally located mixing chamber and an annular collecting and mixing trough surrounding the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber has an inlet at one side thereof, an outlet in its bottom wall, and a quench gas inlet in its top wall above the outlet. A divider wall traverses the annular trough adjacent to the inlet to cause the pool of liquid collected in the trough to flow in a circular pattern around the mixing chamber to the inlet. This ensures that the liquid circulating through the trough is well mixed with the liquid raining down from the catalyst bed. Turbulent and spiraling flow patterns generated within the chamber further mix the liquid and gas and entrain quench gas in the liquid and gas stream.

Abstract: La présente invention décrit une tondeuse à gazon déchiqueteuse équipée d'une chambre de coupe fermée en mode déchiquetage, de sorte que les tontes de gazon restent à l'intérieur de ladite chambre sauf au moment où elles sont évacuées vers le bas par l'ouverture située au fond de la chambre. La chambre de coupe comprend une première partie de forme toroïdale qui, en général, entoure de près les extrémités de la lame. De plus, la partie avant de la chambre de coupe comprend un prolongement cunéiforme (48) s'avançant vers l'avant, dont les parois latérales (52) convergent pour former un triangle. Le prolongement cunéiforme (48) comprend également une paroi supérieure (50) qui se trouve entre les parois latérales. Cette paroi supérieure, dirigée vers l'avant de la tondeuse, s'étend en plan incliné vers le bas, de sorte que la hauteur du prolongement cunéiforme diminue progressivement jusqu'à atteindre un niveau 0 sur l'arête avant dudit prolongement. Le prolongement cunéiforme réduit la consommation d'énergie de la tondeuse lorsque celle-ci, en mode déchiquetage, est utilisée pour déchiqueter l'herbe.

Abstract: An inspection system for detecting a specific material of interest in items of baggage or packages includes a multi-view X-ray inspection probe and one or more material sensitive probes. The multi-view X-ray inspection probe employs X-ray radiation transmitted through or scattered from an examined item to identify a suspicious region inside the item. An interface is used to receive from said X-ray inspection probe X-ray data providing spatial information about the suspicious region and to provide this information to a selected material sensitive probe. The material sensitive probe then acquires material specific information about the previously-identified suspicious region and provides it to a computer. The computer uses a high level detection algorithm to identify presence of the specific material in the suspicious region. The material sensitive probe may be a directional probe such as a coherent scatter probe, or a non-directional probe such as a Compton scatter probe or an NQR probe. The detection algorithm can automatically employ the different probes operating in a preferred geometry. The inspection system may also include a graphical interface and an operator interface that enable interactive communication with the detection algorithm.

Abstract: The invention has an object to provide a digital VCR with a packet communication interface to a packet communication bus, which VCR can be used for reproduction, recording and editing in which image signals from two or more reproduction VCRs are mixed. A synchronization buffer is provided in the interface in which a data in accordance with synchronizing data which is contained in a packet 6 is stored. Image signal data received from the bus or to be transmitted to the bus is stored in a separate transmission buffer. The VCR can be switched between different modes in which the direction of synchronization data flow (from the bus or to the bus) and image signal data flow can be selected independently of one another. Data for storing in the synchronization buffer is selected from the packet 6 by controlling of an external synchronization controller. A capacity of the synchronization buffer is smaller than a capacity of the transmission buffer, because of that a selected data from the packet 6 is stored in this buffer only.
