Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for glueing together two disc elements (12, 14). The two disc elements are brought together coaxially against each other to form a gap (46) between the disc elements. In an inner area of the gap (46) a liquid adhesive is applied so that it comes essentially simultaneously into contact with facing sides of the two disc elements (12, 14). The disc elements are then brought towards each other to achieve a uniform adhesive layer between the disc elements. The device comprises lower and upper holders (30, 32) for respective disc elements, and a means (54) applying a liquid adhesive in an inner area of the gap (46).

Date Sep. 12, 1997A negative pressure ring is formed around the surface to be cleaned and an air flow loaded with solid particles is directed onto the surface, which based on its kinetic energy treats the surface without mechanical support means such as brushes. At overpressure the air flow creates an air-cushion-like volume flow, rotating or travelling along predetermined paths, at negative pressure a volume flow is continuously guided over the surface to be cleaned. By admixing solid particles and cleaning and maintenance agents to the air flow, the substrate can be cleaned and maintained. With the process of the invention it is possible to perform several treatment steps in a single operation. The overpressure process works periodically, the negative pressure process in a complete closed cycle, wherein the solid particles are cleaned in an environmentally friendly manner and recycled into the process.

Abstract: In analogue television systems, it is known to compensate for the receiver-end luminance defects which are caused by transmitter-end low-pass filtering of the gamma-predistorted chrominance signals, with the aid of transmitter-end correction signals. This method for luminance correction can also be used in connection with modern picture coding methods such as e.g. MPEG. To that end, the chrominance is encoded and decoded again in the encoder. A correction signal is derived from the decoded chrominance signal and is used during the encoding of the luminance. The macroblocks which are motion-compensated for prediction are based on the correspondingly decoded chrominance signal and on the decoded, corrected luminance signal.

Abstract: The knee protection device has a protection part and two side connecting straps that are holding sections (20,30) for fixing the protection to the knee. Both of the holding sections are built with regard to the orientation and cross-section of the knee and impact pressure to the wall muscle (W). The anatomical change of the pressure surface of the wall muscle between the kneel position and stand position stays essentially even and spread over the pressure surface. In both holding sections, a torsion band can be seen. The moving of the upper surface of the wall muscle when changing between kneeling and standing can be ineffective but the opposite movement can create a torsion through the length axis.

Abstract: A steam-heated assembly thickens a fluid e.g. sea water or sugar beet juice and has one or more heat exchangers (1a, 1b, 1n). The fluid (F) drops from an overhead distributor (4) onto a first perforated distributor panel (6), arriving as a film on the inner upright surfaces of channels within the heat exchanger (1a, 1b, 1n). As it passes, it is steam (D) heated either by cross-flow our counter-flow. The novelty is that: (a) an outwards-inclined (up to 15 degrees) additional perforated sheet metal panel (5) is located between the distributor (4) and first perforated panel (6); (b) on the upper surface of the second panel (5) each hole (7) is ringed by an overflow tube (8); (c) the second panel (5) is surrounded by a gutter (10) draining impurity-laden fluid to an outlet (11); (d) the standing overflow tubes (8) each incorporate a V-shaped notch (9) in their upper rim; (e) the outlet (11) drains direct through the vapour chamber, or indirectly through an outer pipe to evaporator sump.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermal insulation panel (1), comprising a gastight housing manufactured substantially from rectangular walls (2) and a filling arranged inside the housing and resistant to pressure forces, wherein the pressure is reduced in the interior of the housing to a level at which no heat transport of any significance takes place, wherein at least the walls of the housing which have a direction coinciding with the temperature gradient (3,4) comprise a wall part located at some distance from the ribs which is made thinner relative to the thickness of the wall adjacently of the ribs.   It will be apparent that reducing the wall thickness will reduce the temperature conduction to a great extent. The reduction in the wall thickness (5,6) herein does not generally result in a reduction in the strength of the panel, or hardly so; this is in any case largely determined by the degree of compressibility of the filling. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un transducteur permettant de mesurer l'amplitude du fléchissement latéral se produisant à la pointe (22) d'une broche-noyau (10) à l'intérieur d'un moule (16). Le transducteur constitue un moyen de déterminer le fléchissement à mesure qu'il se produit au cours du processus de moulage, en vue d'un contrôle statistique. Une pluralité de jauges de contrainte (24, 24') montées sur la broche-noyau à l'extérieur de la cavité du moule délivrent, en temps réel, des signaux électriques représentatifs du fléchissement latéral, qui peuvent être utilisés pour trier les pièces à rebuter et assurer un contrôle statistique du processus. Les signaux électriques sont conditionnés et manipulés à l'aide de dispositifs électroniques et de logiciels microprogrammés de manière à générer des informations en temps réel correspondant aux forces appliquées sur la broche-noyau et au fléchissement de cette dernière qui s'ensuit. Les informations produites peuvent être visualisées, de façon graphique, en temps réel et utilisées pour régler manuellement ou automatiquement des paramètres de moulage et pour rejeter les pièces manquées.

Abstract: A lawn mower comprising a frame, an engine mounted on the frame, a cutting mechanism driven by the engine constructed and arranged to cut grass and to generate grass clippings, a bag for collecting said grass clippings, and a bag-full indicating assembly. The bag-full indicating assembly includes an indicator that indicates to a mower operator that the bag is substantially full in response to a bag-full signal, and a switch which can be activated to generate the bag-full signal. The switch comprises a grass-contacting member extending into the bag. The grass-contacting member is movable from a non-activated state to an activated state by being displaced by grass clipping build-up within the bag. The switch thereby enables the bag-full signal for the indicator so that the indicator indicates to the mower operator that the bag is substantially full.

Abstract: A monitoring system is provided with a two tier communication network. Multiple first tier nodes comprising wireless or RF sensors are each equipped with transceivers operating at a first, low power level. Multiple second tier nodes are spaced to communicate with selected sensors at the lower bandwidth level, and also communicate with each other at a higher power level and higher bandwidth, to route sensor communications to a central controller. The sensors comprise standard home and small business sensors such as motion detectors, glass breakage, pressure, temperature, humidity and carbon monoxide sensors to name a few, each equipped with a transceiver. The sensors are placed throughout a structure to be protected or monitored. Since such structures can be quite large, several second tier routers are provided such that at least one is within range of each sensor to receive its low power signals. A routing table is dynamically generated to direct communications between routers and the controller
