Abstract: In a spring driven clock the spring (8) drives the normal gear train (24) through two rotating elements (2,4) which are coupled by a helical spring (6). The torque exerted by the spring which varies with the amount of reserve remaining causes the angular displacement between the rotating elements (2,4) to vary. The size of the angular displacement between the rotating elements (2,4) is limited by a pin (54) which may only move within a cavity cut in the skirt of the upper element (4). Within this range the angular displacement is directly proportional to the torque and the reserve remaining and the latter is displayed by a needle and scale (42,40) attached to the two rotating elements.

Abstract: A method and system for contactless exchange of information between a read/write unit and at least one information carrier, using wireless radiofrequency signal transmission, said unit comprising an input/output circuit and associated coil means and the information carrier comprising another input/output circuit and associated coil means, and each further comprising a processing circuit. The read/write unit transmits radiofrequency signals divided in time slots, each successively including a sync pulse and a single data bit. The radiofrequency signal is suppressed in each time slot for a period differing in length for the one and other single data bit. The data bit signal, received in the read/write unit solely during transmission of the radiofrequency signal, is sampled, after rectification, for detection of the data bits of the information carrier. 
     The read/write unit comprises a detector having two sample and hold circuits in parallel, to which the input signal after rectification is applied in parallel and to which sampling pulses are applied by the processing circuit for sampling successively in time of the signal.

Filed: 1996-05-23
Abstract: Pressure sensors (12) positioned at strategic points on a floating vessel (10) below the surface of the water provide depth information to a shore based control computer (16) via wireless telemetry. The pressure sensors (12) provide continuous information regarding the draft and inclination of the vessel (10) as it is being loaded. The depth information produced by the pressure signals is telemetered to the control computer via transmitting units (14) positioned on the floating vessel and a shore based receiver. The control computer compares the information from the pressure sensors to desired loading characteristics for the vessel and controls the loading process by sending control signals to a loader controller to adjust the point of loading (18). The point of loading is maintained so as to keep the vessel within desired trim and draft limits. Loading ceases when a desired amount of material has been delivered into the barge or when the barge is at the desired draft in a level state.

Abstract: A diaphragm structure includes a ceramic substrate (3) having at least one window portion (3b) and a thin diaphragm (2) laminated onto the ceramic substrate so as to cover the window portion, wherein only a part of an interface between the ceramic substrate and the thin diaphragm is joined to form a joint of the diaphragm. Fine gaps are present where the diaphragm is not joined. The diaphragm structure is free from instability caused by a breakage or deformation of a partition wall between window portions upon punching or laminating even if a diaphragm structure employs a design in which dimensions of a diaphragm portion is maintained and simultaneously a distance between diaphragm portions is made narrow. 
     This reduces the surface area not having a diaphragm portion, or permits a design in which there are a plurality of diaphragm portions having various configurations and dimensions.

Abstract: Nozzle segments in the form of singlets having radial outer and inner walls with a single vane therebetween are coated with a base coat of nickel, chromium, aluminum and yttrium and prevent oxidation of the base metal. A finish coat of yttrium-stabilized zirconia is applied for anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion purposes. The singlets are welded to one another adjacent the abutting margins of the outer and inner walls. Electron beam welding is used to fuse the material of the walls together to a depth which does not penetrate the coating on the wall surfaces of the segments forming the hot gas path components of the turbine.

Abstract: Dispositif optique par lequel des observateurs d'emballages ou de boîtiers de présentation plats, telles que les boîtiers (100) de disques compacts (CD), peuvent disposer de différentes informations en regardant l'une des surfaces du boîtier suivant différentes perspectives angulaires. Pour un meilleur résultat, les effets de parallaxe sont compensés lorsque la dimension des images observables et la distance d'observation créent des distorsions visuelles indésirables. Des panneaux lenticulés orientés horizontalement et verticalement (112) sont utilisés en association avec des images entrecroisées (146, 148) pour faire apparaître les images codées différemment sans qu'il soit nécessaire de manipuler physiquement ces boîtiers, comme c'était le cas jusqu'à présent, pour voir les informations équivalentes. Des inserts d'information imprimés (140) sont fournis avec les images entrecroisées (146, 148).
