Abstract: In a secondary flow thrust reverser of a deflection grille (10) type ducted fan turbine engine, with mobile downstream cowling (14) and flaps (15), the mobile cowling (14) is in two sections (19, 20). A bolt (21) may fix the upstream section (19) to the fixed upstream section of the reverser, whilst operating in direct thrust, when cruising or varying the nozzle cross-section, the said bolt (21) being freed in order to uncover the grilles (10) after axial movement of the cowling (14) when reversing thrust. A bolt (22) may firmly join the two cowling sections (19, 20) during reversal or when in direct jet, cruising or on the other hand allow them to be separated in order to obtain an increase in the nozzle cross-section at full power.

Title: Procede de nettoyage de l'electrode de l'indicateur d'un appareil de titrage pour la determination de la teneur en eau selon la methode k. fischer et dispositif pour sa mise en  uvre
Inventor: MAURER HEINRICH
IPC: G01N27/38
Filed: 1988-03-10
Abstract: Dans ce procédé de nettoyage de l'électrode de l'indicateur (11) d'un appareil de titrage pour la détermination de la teneur en eau selon la méthode K. Fischer, une tension alternative (17) de basse fréquence est appliquée aux deux électrodes individuelles (5) de l'indicateur. Cette tension doit être suffisamment élevée pour qu'une électrolyse (21) se produise, par laquelle il se forme de l'hydrogène à l'une des électrodes et de l'iode à l'autre électrode. Tant l'effet oxydant de l'iode que la formation de bulles lors du dégagement d'hydrogène engendrent un très fort effet de surface. Le nettoyage est (encore davantage) augmenté en changeant une ou plusieurs fois la polarité du courant dans les électrodes de telle manière que de l'iode et de l'hydrogène se forment à chaque électrode (5). Le procédé selon l'invention permet d'éviter dans une large mesure l'adhérence d'impuretés à la surface des électrodes.

Title: Elektronische überwachung von flächen, insbesondere der begrenzungsflächen,von spielfeldern
Inventor: HENTSCHEL WOLFGANG
IPC: A63B71/06
Filed: 1988-07-04
Abstract: Dargestellt und beschrieben ist eine elektronische Überwachung von Flächen, insbesondere der Begrenzungsflächen von Spielfeldern, unter Verwendung von Kontaktflächen, die in der Überwachungszone übereinanderliegend auf Abstand gehalten sind und von denen zumindest die obere flexibel ist, wobei die Kontaktflächen beim Auftreffen eines Gegenstandes in elektrisch leitende Berührung gelangen und dadurch ein elektrisches und/oder akustisches Signal geben. Dabei bildet man eine der Kontaktflächen als Widerstandsfläche mit konstantem Flächenwiderstand und die andere Kontaktfläche als Leiterfläche aus, beaufschlagt an wenigstens zwei Enden der Widerstandsfläche diese über je einen Vorwiderstand mit einer Speisespannung und erhält während der Dauer der Kontaktierung der Kontaktfläche wenigstens zwei Spannungsteiler, deren Spannungswerte proportional zum jeweiligen Abstand der Kontaktierungszone von den Enden der Widerstandsbahn sind. Da jeder Spannungswert einem definierten Ort des Auftreffens entspricht, läßt sich nicht nur die Tatsache des Überschreitens beispielsweise einer Spielfeld-Begrenzungslinie durch einen Ball feststellen, sondern auch der genaue Ort des Geschehens. Abstract Electronic monitoring of surfaces, in particular the boundary surfaces of sports grounds, is effected by means of surfaces superimposed at a distance apart in the monitoring region, at least one of which is flexible. When an object impinges on the contact surfaces, electrical contact is established between the surfaces and an electric and/or acoustic signal is generated. One contact surface is a resistor surface having constant surface resistance and the other contact surface is a conductive surface. A supply voltage is applied to at least two ends of the resistor surface through a corresponding dropping resistor. For the duration of contact between the contact surfaces, at least two voltage distributors are provided the voltages of which are proportional to the distance between the region of contact and the ends of the resistance path. Since each voltage corresponds to a definite point of impact, it is possible to determine when a ball overshoots a sports ground boundary line as well as the exact position of the ball.

Abstract: The process is intended to be used to remove, in a low-cost but still environmentally acceptable manner, chlorinated organic compounds such as, for example, PCBs from apparatus components which are difficult to get at (core 3) and which, like transformers, contain such compounds as oil filling. This is achieved by releasing the chlorine-containing compounds in the presence of a reactant which binds the chlorine in the form of a chloride of an alkali metal and/or of an alkaline earth metal. This makes the metallic apparatus components available, in an extremely environmentally acceptable and economic manner, for recycling. <IMAGE>
