Abstract: The apparatus has leakage current detectors (10) on the earthing conductor (19a,19b,19c) of each phase of the system. A data acquisition unit (12) receives the signals from the current detectors and contains an analog-to-digital converter to converts the signal from each to digital form. A signal processor (14) receives the digital data, and compares the measured earth current levels against a maximum threshold level representing the allowed leakage current. The processing unit incorporates a facility to filter the signal to separate the effective component of the signal from perturbation signals and to discriminate between these two signals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for cooling an extruded hollow product. According to the invention, the extruder (1) is provided with means for sucking air through the pipe (2). The air to be sucked is thus in contact with the inner surface of the pipe (2), cooling the pipe from the inside. Therefore the cooling of the pipe (2) can be realized in an efficient and simple manner. By arranging the sucking to occur from the middle of the conical extruder (1), no weld line will be formed in the extruded product, and the extruder (1) can be cooled effectively from the inside. According to the invention, the heat contained by the air that has been sucked through the pipe (2) can also be utilized.

Abstract: The present invention provides fluorescent nucleosides carrying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, stilbene, tetracene or pentacene. The subject nucleosides may be synthesized using a C-glycosidic bond formation method employing organocadium or organozinc derivatives of the aromatic compounds and coupling with a 1- alpha -chlororibose or deoxyribose synthon. The  alpha -anomers of the coupling reaction may be epimerized to the  beta -anomers by acid-catalyzed equilibration. The fluorescent nucleosides act as a DNA or RNA base analogs and can be incorporated into nucleic acids. Resultant fluorescently tagged nucleic acids are useful as probes for target nucleic acids in tissues, solutions or immobilized on membranes.

Abstract: An apparatus for charging batteries of different types is disclosed as including support means for receiving a battery having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, a battery interface for electrically coupling the battery charging apparatus to the received battery, and a circuit for identifying the particular type of the received battery and supplying a charging current to the received battery in accordance with a specified charging algorithm applicable to the particular battery type. The battery interface includes a positive contact positioned within the support means so as to engage the positive terminal of the received battery, a negative contact positioned within the support means so as to engage the negative terminal of the received battery, and at least one sensing contact positioned within the support means which senses a voltage from the received battery indicative of a particular battery type. The circuit identifies the particular battery type by whether or not the sensing contact is engaged by one of the battery terminals, by whether the voltage sensed by the sensing contact is substantially equivalent or not to a voltage received by one of the battery terminals, by whether the voltage sensed by the sensing contact creates a high or low logic level in the circuit, or by which combination of logic pins is engaged by the battery terminals.

Abstract: The proposed invention relates to the sphere of plasma electrolytic oxide coating of aluminium alloys. The method incorporates anode-cathode oxide coating in an alkaline electrolyte at a temperature of 15-50 DEG C, using 50-60 Hz frequency alternating current. In the initial stage of the process oxide coating is carried on for 5-90 seconds at a current density of 160-180 A/dm<2>, then the current density is dropped to 3-30 A/dm<2> and the process is continued in a regimen of spontaneous diminution of power demand without on-line adjustment of the regimen until the set coating thickness is achieved. The alkaline electrolyte used is an aqueous solution of alkaline metal hydroxide at 1-5 g/l, an alkaline metal silicate at 2-15 g/l, an alkaline metal pyrophosphate at 2-20 g/l and peroxide compounds at 2-7 g/l (in terms of H2O2 - 30%). The proposed method enables the protective properties of ceramic oxide coatings to be enhanced through an increase in the micro-hardness, density and strength of adhesion to the substrate without any additional energy outlay or time required.
