Abstract: Convertisseur de force hydraulique en matériau à mémoire de forme. Le convertisseur de force utilise des éléments hydrauliques et un fluide hydraulique. L'élément hydraulique passe d'une première position à une seconde position lorsque le matériau à effet de mémoire, relié, à l'une de ses extrémités, à une extrémité de l'élément hydraulique et à sa seconde extrémité à un point fixe ou à la seconde extrémité de l'élément hydraulique, passe d'un état martensitique à un état austénitique lorsqu'on le chauffe. Le fluide hydraulique réagit au mouvement de l'élément hydraulique en se déplaçant de l'élément hydraulique à un dispositif récepteur, lequel accomplit une opération causée par le mouvement du fluide hydraulique. Lorsqu'on refroidit le matériau à mémoire de forme afin de le ramener de l'état austénitique à l'état martensitique, l'élément hydraulique reprend sa position originale, un élément de sollicitation étant prévu pour ramener l'élément hydraulique vers sa position de repos.

Abstract: What is proposed is a refuse disposal system which comprises refuse receptacles or containers 4a to 4d, at least one refuse collecting vehicle 1 and, arranged on the latter, a lifting and tipping device 2 which can be coupled periodically via a tipper 3 to a particular tipping-edge configuration 9a', 9a'', 9b of the refuse receptacles or containers 4a to 4d. 
<??>Since it is intended to be able to use refuse receptacles or containers 4a to 4d with different tipping-edge configurations 9a', 9a'' and 9b within the refuse disposal system, the lifting and tipping device 2 uses a tipper 3 which is equipped at its edge region associated with the tipping-edge configuration with tooth-like contours 22 and 23 oriented both parallel and transversely to the main plane of the tipper.

Abstract: A method for sorting, separating and indicating sections of an outputted stack (124), such as printed continuous paper web (150). A continuous web is outputted which includes a plurality of sections having pages (134) therein. Page separation and section separation locations (136) are determined upon the web wherein the size of each page in a section is equal and wherein the size of at least one section separator page disposed adjacent to a section separation location is unequal to the size of the other pages in the section. The web is folded at each of the subsequent page separation locations upon an alternating face to produce a zig-zag pattern. The section separator pages may be folded so that their size is greater than or less than the size of the pages in the section and the section separator pages may be cut so that their size is greater than or less than that of the pages in the section. The area (128) of a section separator page overlapping or indented from the pages in the section may contain information (132) descriptive of the section contents. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Temperature sensors or temperature sensor arrangements made from glass ceramic and bonding film resistors, suitable especially for control and limitation of output in glass ceramic cooking areas, are distinguished in that thin- and/or thick-film resistors are baked on supports of glass ceramic, for example, in the area of the cooking zone of a glass ceramic cooking surface, and one or more glass ceramic resistances are delimited and bonded there, and the film resistors form parallel and/or iterative circuits with the glass ceramic resistances. By suitable selection of the dimensions as well as the surface resistances and temperature coefficients of the bonding film resistors and the type of sensor circuit (parallel and/or iterative circuit), the temperature resistance characteristic of a sensor circuit can be varied within wide limits, e.g., the temperature area of use of a glass ceramic sensor can be considerably expanded toward low temperatures. The geometric shape of a sensor arrangement can be matched to the specified temperature distribution of a surface to be monitored, for example, a glass ceramic cooking surface in the area of the cooking zones, so that practically all areas of the heated surface essential for the temperature control and limitation are detected.

Abstract: Glass-fibre reinforced plastic tank, for example for liquid petroleum gas under high pressure, compressed air for air brakes or for storage of acetylene. The tank is composed of two halves (10, 12), the open ends of which are conically bevelled to form a male end (20) and a female end (22), which are joined to each other by an adhesive. The reinforcement in the outer and inner layers of the halves contains essentially longitudinal glass-fibre strands and the intermediate layer contains essentially transverse glass-fibre strands. In the half with the male end (20), the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the inner layer (35) are densely located adjacent to each other, while the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the outer layer lie in separate groups (30) of densely arranged glass-fibre strands with the predetermined spacing between the groups to form channel-shaped spaces (31). In the half with the female end (22), the order is reverse. In order to store acetylene, a pre-fabricated absorbent body of porous material is enclosed in the tank when the tank halves are glued together.

Abstract: A digital beamforming array for use in radar applications and particularly in radar applications that used phased array technology. The array receives an incoming signal at a plurality of sensor modules, converts them to intermediate frequency, and then converts the intermediate frequency signals to n-bit (preferably 1-bit) digital signals at an oversampling rate, where n is less than the number of bits required to represent the dynamic range of the intermediate frequency signal. The n-bit digital signals are then beamformed by altering their relative phases and combining them to form a resultant n-bit digital signal which is then converted to a digital signal of the number of bits required to represent the dynamic range of the intermediate frequency signal. An advantage of the present invention is that it reduces the complexity and thus the cost of the digitizing hardware required.

Abstract: The invention relates to a current measuring arrangement for a length of a power wire of a power cable (10) fed from one end, having two optical waveguide coils (42, 44) (Faraday coils) integrated in the power cable and having devices (65), existing at one end (8) of the length of cable, for injecting and outputting and analysing optical signals. The current measuring arrangement consists of two optical waveguide coils (42, 44), one of which is wound tightly and the other one of which is wound loosely. The tightly wound optical waveguide coil (42) is arranged at the injection end (8) of the length of cable (KS). The operating current (I) in the length of cable (KS) can be measured with both Faraday coils (42, 44). If there is no fault in the length of cable, the measurement quantity of both Faraday coils is zero. If there is a fault (short-circuit to earth), a finite angular rotation of the plane of polarisation is produced. The current measuring arrangement (42, 44) allows the fault current intensity (IF) and the relative fault current location (z/L) to be measured with respect to the length of the distance (L) in lengths of cable fed at one end. <IMAGE>
