Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for the dehumidification of covered insulation or cavities, in particular in floors, walls, ceilings or similar building parts, having at least two compressors, one of which serves as a pressure conveyor for introducing dry air into the insulation or the cavity and the other serves as a suction conveyor for sucking out the humid air from the insulation or the cavity, these compressors being provided in a common transportable framework or housing (5). A characteristic of the device (1) according to the invention is that at least two pressure conveyors connected in parallel in their air flow are connected to a corresponding number of air driers likewise connected in parallel, and that the same number of suction conveyors again connected in parallel are provided, the pressure conveyors, the suction conveyors and also the air driers being arranged, partitioned off from one another, on or in the common framework or housing (5) and at least the connection between the air driers and the pressure conveyors being hermetically isolated from the environment. The device (1) according to the invention thus constitutes a mobile drying unit which can be set up quickly and simply outside a building to be treated, thus requiring no space inside the building, and can even be independent of the power supply, provided that a generator is additionally accommodated in the housing (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to this invention, when n-value image data is transmitted, data associated with its compression method is transmitted to a reception-side apparatus, so that the reception-side apparatus can perform proper image processing. More specifically, there is disclosed an image transmission method having the following advantages. That is, when a reception-side apparatus can select one of a plurality of image processing methods, it selects a processing method matching with an n-value compression method, and properly reproduces an m-value image. Even when the reception-side apparatus does not have an image processing method matching with the n-value compression method of a transmission-side apparatus, the fact can be informed to the transmission-side apparatus or to an operator of the reception-side apparatus, so that operators of the transmission- and reception-side apparatuses can recognize that a color difference will occur between the transmission- and reception-side apparatuses, and an effective countermeasure can be taken.

Title: Aspirated syphon shoe
Inventor: TIMM GERALD L
IPC: F26B13/18
Filed: 1991-03-22
Abstract: A low differential pressure rotary syphon for the purpose of removing condensate from the interior of a heated dryer drum under low differential pressure conditions. The reduction in the magnitude of differential pressure required to remove the condensate is accomplished through the direct introduction of steam into a central plenum area receiving condensate thereby reducing the mass density of the condensate mixture. The reduction in mass density and the steam introduced acting directly on the condensate within the central plenum area facilitates the removal of the condensate from the drying drum interior.

Abstract: A dispenser for a continuous strip of articles (60) has two grippers (12,42) with cantilevered gripping arms (14,16,44,46), one gripper positioned at each side of the strip. One of the grippers grips the end article in the continuous strip of articles and moves the end article downstream to a dispensing station through the open arms of the other gripper which moves upstream to a gripping position whereat it grips the article adjacent the end article. A cutter (18,48) severs the article at the dispensing station from the continuous strip and the downstream gripper opens to dispense the article. The upstream gripper now grips the end article and may move downstream through the open gripping arms of the other gripper for dispensing this next article and this process may be repeated.

Abstract: A separation matrix impregnated with a separating agent separates red blood cells or hemoglobin from whole blood. Upon separation, an impregnated test reagent reacts with the separated substantially clear component fluid to form a colored product which enables a visual or meter test for analyte levels in whole blood. Such a test is appropriate for, among other things measuring glucose, cholesterol, or alcohol levels in whole blood samples. A visual meter is disclosed which allows sample to be applied to one side of the strip, and reading takes place on the opposite side, after separation of red blood cells and reaction to test reagent. Also, a useful test strip format is disclosed.

Title: Method and device for determining an orientation related to a mobile system, particularly the line of sight in a helmet sighting.
Inventor: ZIMMER PIERRE
IPC: F41G3/22
Filed: 1991-06-14
Abstract: A method for determining a line of sight from a sighting device mounted on a helmet provided with a sensor (2) with three orthogonal magnetic coils, in relation to a reference attached to an aircraft and having the form of a transmitter (1) having three orthogonal magnetic coils. According to the method, the cockpit is first magnetically mapped. For this purpose, sets of field measurements detected by the sensor for the fields successively produced by the transmitter's three coils for various known positions and attitudes of the sensor in the cockpit are established and memorized. Then, the cockpit is magnetically modelled on the basis of said measurements. In flight, the matrix of measurements, combined with a transmitter transmission cycle initiated when the pilot confirms a directional line of sight determined in relation to his helmet, allows the orientation of said line of sight in the aircraft reference to be accurately calculated on the basis of the model previously made. The method can be used for sighting from helicopters where the cockpit causes disturbances because of field reflexions from metal components.

Abstract: In the operation of large vertical synchronous machines, considerable radial and tangential forces occur. A new simple type of attachment between the stator laminate stack and the stator housing is intended to ensure, on the one hand, the radial mobility between the two and, on the other hand, the necessary rigidity of the structure. According to the invention, sliding rings (4) in welded-on guide rings (5) are arranged between the pressed segments (2, 3) and the stator intermediate walls (14), securing taking place by means of attachment screws (8) via sliding washers (9). In consequence, the radial mobility is ensured. In order to dissipate the corresponding tangential forces, broad, lateral, parallel guide surfaces (11) and a defined expansion joint (12) are arranged on the dovetail-shaped guide rails (10). This arrangement leads to a simple structure and reliably prevents deformation of the laminate stack with the maximum temperature difference between the stator laminate stack (1) and the machine housing. This type of attachment is suitable, in particular, for large hydroelectric generators. <IMAGE>
