Abstract: A low profile alternating current electrical plug (10) is disclosed in which the electrical pins (12, 13, 14) are terminated in lands at right angles to the axis of the pins. These lands are used for crimping wires to the pins as well as for mechanically stabilizing the pins in the molded plug body. Forming these lands at right angles to the pins axis permits a very thin plug body. The electrical cord exits the plug head at an acute angle to the line of the power pins as well as at an acute angle to the axis of a mating electrical outlet. The wires exit the plug head, however, at a right angle to the pin axes and parallel to the wall, thereby maintaining the low profile. At the wire exit, a cone-shaped sleeve (28) acts as a shock absorber for forces exerted on the cord, thereby absorbing most of these forces before they reach the pin area. A removal ring (21) is made integral with the low profile plug, lying parallel to the plug when not in use, but pivoting to a perpendicular position when grasped by a finger. Due to the low profile of the plug and the wall-hugging position of the cord, decorative covers can be installed over both the wire and the plugs, making the entire electrical installation aesthetically appealing.

Date May 16, 1991.The invention is directed to a system for the measurement and presentation of flow movements in a fluid to determine blood perfusion in superficial blood vessels of a body organ. The system includes a laser light source (1) generating a laser beam, apparatus for directing the laser beam onto a body part to be examined and for guided movement of the beam over the body part. The beam is moved over the body part in a predetermined scanning pattern (8). The system further includes a receiving part for the beam reflected from the body part, and apparatus for detecting broadening of the frequency of a reflected light beam caused by a Doppler effect. This results in measuring the magnitude of superficial blood circulation in the body part (5) at points scanned by the beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and regulating the liquid metal level in a metallurgical vessel, especially an open-ended die of a casting plant. In order to provide a method in which the liquid level can be determined and regulated in a simple and reproducible manner, it is proposed that inert gas be introduced into the molten metal at a certain freely selectable point within the vessel, that the flow rate and absolute pressure of the inert gas introduced be measured, that the absolute pressure measured when the zero value of the flow rate is exceeded be recorded and the actual value of the distance of the surface of the liquid from the point at which the inert gas is introduced be determined from the difference between the absolute pressure and the pressure acting on the surface of the liquid, that the difference from a predetermined setpoint value be determined from the said distance ascertained and fed as an electric actuating signal to an actuator for regulating the liquid metal level and/or the quantity flowing out or withdrawn from the vessel.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus are provided wich improve the ability of known processes to reduce pollutant concentration in combustion effluents. Distribution of pollution reducing agents within an effluent at the effective temperature window for effective gas phase reaction is greatly improved. A two-phase mixture having fine droplets of liquid, e.g. a NOx reducing agent such as aqueous solutions of urea or ammonia, dispersed in a gaseous component, ssuch as air, is injected into the effluent at sonic velocity to achieve a distribution of particles of sizes effective to uniformly reduce NOx within the zone of effective temperature while not producing a significant level of droplets so large that they survive beyond the temperature zone. Improvements in pollution reduction, chemical utilization, low secondary pollutant emission and reduced equipment fouling are achieved.

The fixture includes a tooling pin (24) inserted in the tooling pin hole to hold the circuit array (22) in a fixed position relative to the test probes (18) during testing. The fiducial mark (28) is sensed, and an optical reading shows misalignment of the test points on the board relative to the probes. The tooling pin (24) is adjusted on the fixture (10) to move the board (20) relative to the probes (18) to correct misalignment. The alignment of the board (20) on the fixture (10) can be optically sensed by a lens system (104), fiber optic image conduit (72), light source (96, 98), an image enlarger (60) and video probe (70), that produces images of the fiducial mark and a known zero reference point on a TV monitor (118).
