Abstract: An cam adjusting device (30) comprises a first and second element sliding reciprocally and a cam (32) pivoted to the first element by means of a pivot (33) rotating around an axis (48) to react with one of its lateral surfaces (35, 38) against a bearing surface (34, 37) on the second element, upon rotation of the cam around the axis thereby achieving sliding and adjustment of the reciprocal position of the first and second element. The cam is shaped so that, for any angular position of the cam in its active stroke the centre of rotation of the cam is substantially in the region of a straight line (41) passing through a point (36) of contact between a lateral surface of the cam and a bearing surface of the second element, said straight line being slanted at an angle ø identical to the angle of friction in the point of contact. A cam meeting this condition has been found maximize the amplitude of the adjustment without encountering instability. Using cam adjusting device (30), iron fittings, such as hinges, are easy to make.

Abstract: Nonoptical properties of inks can be brought to bear in locating ink (406, 408) that is invisible to an automatic sensor. Physical characteristics of inks as liquids can be exploited to reveal their locations with surprising precision. The system includes an optical sensor (200). Using ink (Fig. 8a) that is  visible  to the sensor, a preferably fractional fill pattern (512, 513, 515) is printed on a region of a printing medium. Using ink that is invisible to the sensor, calibration indicia or other patterns (406, 408) are printed on particular portions of the same region. Bleed (running together, Figs. 8b through 8f, of the liquids of the two inks) tends to convert the fractional fill pattern into a solid fill (Figs. 8b through 8f), within the particular portions that were also printed with the "invisible" ink. Resulting optoelectronic signals provide amply high contrast between fractional fill (Figs. 8b through 8f) in the particular portions where the "invisible" ink is applied and the original fractional fill (Fig. 8a) elsewhere. The sensor responds to areas where bleed has converted the fractional fill pattern into a relatively more solid fill. Preferably, to enhance contrast, the visible-ink fractional pattern is printed as aggregations (512, 513, 515) of multiple adjacent pixels, rather than individual, mutually separated pixels - but these aggregations are spaced apart (511, 514, 516). These two preferences together lead to a pattern (Figs. 7 and 8a) that bleeds most effectively of any that were tested. Ideal fill density is roughly twenty-five percent.

Abstract: A method for mitigating general corrosion and crack initiation and
growth on the surface of metal components in a water-cooled nuclear
reactor. A compound containing a non-noble metal such as zirconium or
titanium is injected into the water of the reactor in the form of a solution or
suspension. This compound decomposes under reactor thermal
conditions to release ions or atoms of the non-noble metal which
incorporate in the surfaces of the components, including the interior
surfaces of any cracks formed therein. The preferred compounds are
zirconium compounds such as zirconium acetylacetonate, zirconium
nitrate and zirconyl nitrate. Zirconium incorporated in the oxided surface
of a metal component will reduce the electrochemical corrosion potential
at the surface to a level below the critical potential to protect against
intergranular stress corrosion cracking without the addition of hydrogen.

Abstract: The heat exchanger tubes (5) terminate in a plate (3) located above the waterbox (7) which is divided into two chambers by an internal wall (8). Two identical testing equipments (9a,9b) are entered one in each chamber and are supported on remotely controlled operating arms.

Water is then injected and an air scavenging piston (34) moves to the other tube extremity where it is stopped by the second injection head (16b) just outside. The second head is then entered and secured and successive additions of water and pressure measurements enable any leak to be found.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de réduction des émissions de NOx d'un four servant au traitement thermique de matériaux bruts, et dans lequel la combustion du combustible a lieu dans trois zones différentes au moins. Dans la première de ces zones, une quantité c de combustible est brulée, dans la seconde, une quantité b de combustible est brûlée et les gaz de combustion des autres zones y sont injectés, dans les zones restantes, une quantité a de combustible est brûlée et une partie au moins du matériau brut et un gaz riche en oxygène y sont injectés. La quantité totale de combustible (b + c) brulée dans la deuxième zone et les suivantes est calculée en fonction des nécessités de traitement du matériau brut. Lorsqu'il s'agit de fabriquer du clinker de ciment, le traitement consiste à préchauffer, fritter et refroidir lesdits matériaux minéraux bruts. L'invention a pour objectif de fournir un procédé de réduction des émissions de NOx permettant par ailleurs d'utiliser des combustibles faiblement réactifs tels que le coke de pétrole, l'anthracite ou d'autres charbons à faible teneur en gaz, et cela dans des zones à température relativement basse. Elle permet d'attendre ledit objectif en faisant varier les quantités b et a en plus ou en moins jusqu'à ce qu'on atteigne une teneur minimale en NO dans les gaz d'échappement provenant de la zone où sont dirigés les gaz d'échappement des autres zones de combustion.
