Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrodynamic fluid-film bearing of the type comprising one or more flexible thin sheets (4) which are capable of conditioning the formation of a fluid film around a rotating shaft with a view to keeping it in a stationary sheath (2). The flexible sheet (4) is combined with an intermediate spring element (5) and with an external spring element (6) which are in contact with each other by means of opposing corrugations (8) and (9); the flexible sheet (4) and the external spring element (6) are wound in one direction around the shaft (1) whereas the intermediate spring element (5) is wound in the opposite direction, so that deformations of these elements result in their contact zones moving in opposite directions. The bearing according to the invention provides significant damping of the oscillations or vibrations by virtue of Coulomb-effect energy dissipations which are particularly greater compared to known bearings, whilst having a stiffness which varies progressively as a function of the load. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Dans un échangeur de chaleur pour l'évaporation Kestner du film d'un fluide, des plaques (1, 2) de transfert de chaleur disposées verticalement délimitent entre elles des passages d'évaporation (4) et des passages de condensation (7). Chaque passage d'évaporation (4) comporte dans sa partie basse une entrée (5) pour le fluide et dans sa partie haute une sortie (6) pour le fluide concentré et la vapeur produite, laquelle sortie (6) est située sur un côté vertical des plaques de transfert de chaleur. Pour obtenir la répartition souhaitée du fluide et de la vapeur dans chaque passage d'évaporation (4), au moins une plaque (1) sur deux, dans sa partie basse (17A) la plus proche de l'entrée (5) du fluide, est munie d'un certain nombre de zones (23A-26A) constituées de crêtes et de gorges formant des cannelures de différents types. Les crêtes et gorges forment différents angles par rapport à la direction principale de circulation du fluide dans les passages d'évaporation (4), lesquels angles sont choisis de façon que les crêtes et gorges des plaques de transfert de chaleur (1, 2), en fonction de leurs orientations différentes, coopèrent pour, dans chaque passage d'évaporation, opposer une résistance au fluide dans sa direction principale de circulation, résistance qui diminue progressivement des côtés verticaux aux autres côtés verticaux des plaques de transfert de chaleur (1, 2). La résistance variable à l'écoulement qui s'applique latéralement aux passages d'évaporation (4) se concentre de préférence sur la partie basse des passages d'évaporation.

Abstract: Apparatus is described for achieving wavelength selection. Furthermore, the apparatus exhibits very high wavelength resolution, stable operation and rapid retuning. A bundle of multi-wavelength light, entering the device, is acoustooptically deflected. This is done by driving two orthogonal acoustic transducers (12, 13) of the deflector with two suitable frequencies fx and fy. The light so deflected passes first through a wedge etalon (30) having a taper along the X-axis and then through a second wedge etalon (20) having a taper along the Y-axis. The pair of wedges forms two, single-cavity etalons. Depending on the choice of fx and fy, any wavelength within the wavelength range covered by the two, single-cavity etalons can be selected rapidly and accurately.

Abstract: The manometer has a housing (4) which exhibits a circumferential wall (6), which is essentially of circular cylindrical shape, and a rear wall (8), a measuring system (20) arranged inside the housing, a viewing pane (34) which closes the housing on its front side, an unbreakable (shatter-proof) partition (42) which in the housing separates a chamber in which the measuring system is arranged from a further chamber which can be viewed through the viewing pane, as well as a section (22) of the housing wall which can be blown out. The unbreakable partition (42) is a part which is firstly produced separately from the circumferential wall of the housing and is inserted into the housing from the front only after the measuring system has been assembled and adjusted in the housing, and is mounted on the circumferential wall of the housing with the aid of mounting means. It is thereby possible despite the presence of the unbreakable partition to mount the measuring system from the front side of the housing, and it is also possible for the adjusting operations on the mounted measuring system to be carried out from the front side. In addition, it is no longer required for the entire rear wall to form the section of the housing wall which can be blown out. <IMAGE>
