Title: Heavy duty concrete with improved ductility
Inventor: SCHNELL JUERGEN
IPC: C04B28/02
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to heavy duty concrete with improved ductility and containing inorganic fibers. The aim of the invention is to substantially enhance ductility of said concrete by adding only a small amount of inorganic fibers. This is achieved by providing the heavy duty concrete with almost 30-200 kg/m<3> of inorganic fibers which are known to increase flexion tensile strength in concrete, and an organic fiber with a low elasticity modulus.

Abstract: In an air jet loom including a stop motion arrangement with first and second light beam sensor devices for detecting the presence of an inserted weft thread, the functionality of the sensor devices is continuously monitored. An inserted weft thread is expected to reach the first sensor device during an angular range ( alpha 1) of one rotation of the main shaft of the loom, whereupon the first sensor device emits a weft arrival signal (S1). In the event of a weft break, the weft thread reaches the second sensor device during the angular range ( alpha 1), whereupon the second sensor device emits a weft fault signal (S2). To monitor the functionality of the first sensor device, an interference signal (S3) emitted thereby during a second angular range ( alpha 2) not corresponding to the first angular range ( alpha 1) is evaluated. To monitor the functionality of the second sensor device, its light beam is positively interrupted by a projection (12') of a machine component (12) during each weft insertion cycle as the reed beats-up the inserted weft thread. Thus, the second sensor device positively emits a test signal during each reed beat-up at a time outside of the first angular range ( alpha 1). The presence, absence or irregularities of the signals (S3) and (S4) are statistically evaluated to determine whether a loom stop is necessary.

Abstract: A technique for managing address translation storage buffers (TSBs) (150-160)
supports multiple pools of different TSB sizes and dynamically assigns a process to
its own TSB of the proper size (120) as the needs of the process change. A process is
assigned a small TSB and the system migrates the process to a larger TSB if needed. One
method includes the steps of identifying sizes of TSBs to support, allocating a TSB pool
in memory with these sizes, selecting an appropriately sized TSB for a
process (158), and migrating that process to a larger size should the process require more
memory. A second method allocates a TSB pool by determining an appropriate size
for the TSB pool, determining sizes of TSBs to support, allocating memory for the pool
and initializing a status block for each size of TSB. A third method
selects an appropriate TSB for a process by selecting a smallest supported size of a TSB
from the pool. A fourth method migrates a process to a larger size by determining
whether the current TSB is of an inappropriate size, selecting a larger TSB size,
invalidating the previous TSB, and selecting a TSB of the new size from the TSB pool.
Variations on these methods require that the memory spaces shared by the TSBs of
different sizes are coexistent, require that the TSBs be stored in virtual space or that entries
in the translation look-aside buffer (TLB) be reserved for a separate user TSB
and kernel (system) TSB.

Abstract: Polyolefin pipes are welded end-to-end by a self-propelled, self-contained
machine (M) which performs all steps necessary to the process without need for any
other machines or equipment. Hydraulically driven parallel tracks (11,13) are
independently controlled for maximum maneuverability. An hydraulically driven,
computer controlled, reversible jaw assembly (J) reciprocates the new pipe section
relative to the exiting pipe line. A facer (F) for trimming and squaring the pipe ends to
be joined and a heater for melting the pipe ends for fusing are umbilically connected
to the machine for on-board or remote operation. The computer, also on an
umbilical, enables the operator to operate the machine in a normal mode in which
the operator manually controls the facing, soaking and fusing processes or an
automatic mode in which the fusing process is automatically controlled by the
computer. The computer also allows the operator to choose a data logging mode
in which the operating pressure, heater temperature and time data are recorded to
provide a history for each joint made by the machine.

Abstract: A firing pin safety catch mechanism for use with a firearm is disclosed. The safety catch mechanism includes a one-piece leaf spring comprising a spring arm, a safety catch and a beveled release part. The safety catch has a first position wherein the safety catch engages a catch surface of a firing pin to secure the firing pin in a rest position and a second position wherein the safety catch disengages the catch surface to release the firing pin for movement out of the rest position. The beveled release part is disposed adjacent the proximal end of the spring arm. It includes a camming surface disposed within the motion path of a hammer when the safety catch is in the first position such that, as the hammer moves to strike the firing pin, the hammer cams the camming surface of the beveled release part against the force of the spring arm to move the safety catch from the first position to the second position, and the hammer then strikes the proximal end of the firing pin to displace the firing pin from the rest position.
