Patent EP-0541697-B1 (EP)

Abstract: A radiation detector employs a thermopile having a potentiometer for calibrating the thermopile output to best suit a particular output meter and sensing application. A thermocouple may be connected in series with the thermopile. The output of the thermopile is calibrated to best match a linear function which intersects the thermopile output function at a temperature in the center of a temperature range of interest. A total output signal of the detector is the sum of the thermopile signal and the thermocouple signal, and is indicative of the temperature of a target emitting radiation sensed by the thermopile. The series connection of the thermopile and the thermocouple allow the thermopile hot junction temperature to be referenced to the cold junction temperature of the thermocouple. Thus, the reference temperature may be remote from the thermopile sensor. A filtering lens may be used to prevent short wavelength radiation from reaching the thermopile sensor, improving the linearity of the thermopile response. Two detectors may be connected differentially to provide a differential output indicative of the temperature difference between two targets. Additionally, a temperature dependent variable resistor may be coupled to the thermopile, providing a variable resistance that combines with the thermopile output response to produce a linearized thermopile output response. Then, the total output signal of the detector for a particular target temperature is independent of fluctuations in local temperature.

Abstract: The remediation apparatus includes a pair of heating units, e.g., rotary drum dryers, each having a contaminated material inlet and a burner at opposite ends whereby the contaminated material and hot gases of combustion are in heat exchange, preferably counterflow relation. Material-bearing hydrocarbon contaminants are heated in the first drum to volatilize the low boiling fraction. The soil is conveyed to the second drum and heated to a higher temperature to volatilize the intermediate and high boiling fractions. The volatilized contaminants from the second drum are returned to the burner of the first drum for at least partial oxidation and reduction of the higher fractions to lower fractions. The dust and gases exiting the first drum flow to a baghouse for separation into dust and volatilized contaminants. The dust is returned to the soil. The volatilized contaminants are further eliminated, e.g., by oxidation.

Abstract: The process relates to the manufacture of injection moulded articles from thermoplastics, in which a plastic melt is forced into a mould by means of a gas injected at high pressure and the plastic is cooled by means of a cool medium. To reduce the amounts of gas necessary for cooling and to reduce the manufacturing time, it is proposed, during the solidification phase of the plastic melt, to introduce a cold gas under controlled pressure change into the mould interior. In this process, nitrogen is advantageously used as cold gas and as the gas injected into the plastic melt.

Abstract: Zur automatischen optischen Qualitätskontrolle und/oder Klassifikation von Pflanzen wird von einer elektronischen Farbkamera ein Bild einer Pflanze von oben und von einer elektronischen Grauwertkamera ein Bild der Pflanze von der Seite aufgenommen. Die von jeder Kamera gelieferten elektrischen Bildsignale werden digitalisiert und durch einen zugeordneten Bildrechner zur Bestimmung von Merkmalen der Pflanze ausgewertet. Aus dem von der Grauwertkamera aufgenommenen Bild kann insbesondere die Höhe der Pflanze ermittelt werden. Jeder Kamera ist eine Beleuchtungsquelle zugeordnet. Um gegenseitige Beeinträchtigung der Aufnahmen und deren Auswertung zu vermeiden, ist vorzugsweise jede Kamera so ausgebildet, dass sie für das Licht, das von der der anderen Kamera zugeordneten Beleuchtungsquelle stammt, nicht empfindlich ist. Gegenseitige Beeinträchtigungen können auch dadurch vermieden werden, dass eine Steuerschaltung die beiden Beleuchtungsquellen abwechselnd einschaltet und die Aufnahme der Pflanze durch jede Kamera jeweils in einem Zeitintervall auslöst, in dem nur die der Kamera zugeordnete Beleuchtungsquelle eingeschaltet ist.

Abstract: A row of modules (1a, 1b, 1c) are connected in a substantially straight line by a single linkage rod (12).

The modules in the line (1c) on the outside of the bend also slide relative to each other in the same manner although, because the modules in the line (1c) must travel over a greater distance to get around the bend than the modules of the line (1a), the modules in the line (1c) move further apart from each other within the limits allowed by the linkage rods (12) which slide in slots (20) of the modules such that the greater area of the lower surface (5) of each module in the line (1c) is exposed as compared to that area in the line (1a). All of the modules present a substantially flat upwardly facing support surface across the complete extent of the conveyor.

Abstract: A telephone answering device (TAD) (25) which includes a means of intelligently organizing voice messages, associated entered codes such as personal IDs and home telephone numbers, and information stored in the memory of the TAD. These codes or numbers are decoded by means of the caller entering DTMF signals into the telephone which are recognized, recorded and processed by the TAD. When processed with codes and personal information previously entered into the device's memory, the TAD displays (32) the identity of the callers for each message, thus providing a menu of choices, i.e., a list of callers. This enables the user to access messages in a selective manner based on the identity of the caller. The need to listen to the actual voice messages to determine the caller's identity and the need to listen to the messages sequentially or chronologically is obviated, saving both time and effort.

Abstract: Un système permet de détecter la présence de contaminants dans un flux de fluide surcritique.

Le fluide surcritique se transforme en gaz (comme représenté par les lignes 30) à cette pression réduite, alors que les contaminants restent à l'état non gazeux. On recourt à une plaque (36) à pouvoir réfléchissant total atténué pour détecter par spectrophotométrie la présence de contaminants non gazeux qui se déposent à la surface (48) de cette plaque, dans la zone de mesure de contaminants (24). Ce système permet de détecter par spectrophotométrie dans des fluides surcritiques la présence et la nature de contaminants et de surveiller aussi bien des processus de nettoyage que d'extraction.

Abstract: A timing control apparatus synchronizes the operation of logic devices to an external reference clock signal. In one aspect, the apparatus includes an oscillator (14) that generates an internal reference clock signal (16) and a phase comparator (20) that generates an error signal (20c) indicating the difference in phase and frequency between the internal (16) and external (18) clock signals. A filter (12) coupled to the comparator (20) generates plural control signals (13a,13b), each having a characteristic, e.g. a voltage amplitude, that is a selected function of the error signal (20c). The control signals (13a,13b) are routed to the oscillator (14), which generates the internal reference clock signal (16) as a function of those control signals (13a,13b).
