Abstract: On décrit un procédé de fabrication d'un arbre à cames en fonte coulé en coquille à partir d'une fonte contenant du chrome. Le matériau en fonte contient entre 0,5 et 1,2 % en poids de chrome, l'arbre à cames présentant une structure de fonte blanche brute adjacente à des pièces rapportées coulées en coquille dans un moule à fonte, et une structure de fonte grise dans pratiquement toutes les autres régions éloignées des pièces coulées en coquille. Le procédé consiste à assembler un moule de coulée en sable présentant une cavité en forme d'arbre à cames et comprenant également des parties rapportées coulées en coquille contiguës aux régions de la cavité où de la fonte blanche est requise, à préparer une charge de fonte en fusion présentant un équivalent carbone dans la plage comprise entre 3,5 et 4,0 % en poids, et à ajouter un agent de nucléation, avant de remplir la cavité du moule par coulée, en quantité suffisante pour assurer la surfusion du liquide résiduel après solidification de la structure de fonte blanche adjacente aux pièces coulées en coquille demeure à une température supérieure à la température eutectique de fonte cémentite avant solidification en fonte grise.

Abstract: The longitudinally displaceable interlocking roofing tile (1) is provided with an essentially uniform profiling on the upper side. The head interlocking part contains a head edge rib which extends over the entire width of the tile. In addition to a side interlocking part (5) and a top interlocking part (3), the tile also has a foot interlocking part (4) with an outer foot interlocking rib. In the region of troughs (614, 616), U-shaped ribs with oblique side walls on both U-legs are integrally formed on the rear side of the tile. The plaster fin on the foot side runs essentially in one level in the region of the side interlocking part and top interlocking part and of the elevated central zone (612). When placing the tile on the roof, a vertical side expansion joint is obtained. The interlocking roofing tile is to be resistant to frost, avoid damage during transportation and, despite the longitudinal displaceability when placed on the a roof, is to be sealed. The foot interlocking part (4) has, in the region of the troughs, in each case one chamber which is planar on the underside, encloses the U-rib and is adjoined by the outer foot interlocking rib. On the side (914) of the chamber, the plaster fin is drawn, in the form of a U, downwards to the edge of the tile. The surface of each trough (614, 616) is provided with a gently curved tongue which reaches as far as the plaster fin. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tying wire (a) is puled out from a continuous stock. It is then bent to form a U-shaped fold of an appropriate length. The U-shaped loop (b) of the tying wire is wound around an overlapped portion to be tied of an article or articles (E). A front end of the U-shaped fold is wound around the other end (c) by a rotatable hook (G), thus finally twisting both ends. The tying wire (a) is cut at a rear end an appropriate timing. The apparatus for tying is made up of a mechanism for forming a U-shaped loop of the tying wire, a mechanism for guiding the U-shaped loop to wind it around an external surface of a portion to be tied of the article or articles, a mechanism for twisting the closed end and the other end of the U-shaped loop, and a mechanism for cutting the tying wire at an appropriate timing to an appropriate length. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method and the circuit arrangement are suitable for the reduction of interfering harmonic currents which are caused, for example, by rectifier units (GE) and are emitted to the electrical power supply network. In this case, two three-phase transformers (ET1, ET2) each emit two voltages (u1v1w1, x1y1z1 and u2v2w2, x2y2z2 respectively) which are shifted through the phase angle a or b respectively, in such a manner that the interfering harmonic currents at the input of the transformers (ET1, ET2) cancel one another out, or at least greatly reduce one another. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1998-09-02
Abstract: Viterbi detector for a channel having a memory length 1, where no more than two survivors with an associated difference metric are updated. In the prior-art Viterbi detector of this type the new difference metric is derived by means of a saturation function from the previous difference metric. If the amplitude of the received signal differs from the values assumed for the calculation of the difference metric, the performance of the prior-art detector will rapidly degrade. In the detector according to the invention the new difference metric is derived from a saturation function of the previous difference metric, with the size of the linear region being dependent on the magnitude of the amplitude of the received signal. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transition metal containing catalyst useful for the polymerization of  alpha -olefins is prepared by (A) forming in an inert atmosphere which excludes oxygen and moisture a slurry of (1) a porous inorganic oxide support material selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, or a combination of silica and alumina, said support material containing not greater than about 5 millimoles of hydroxyl groups per gram of support material and a particle size not greater than about 10 microns and a surface area of from about 50 to about 800 m2/g in an inert organic liquid medium; (B) mixing said slurry with (2) an alkoxide and stirring the resultant mixture at a temperature of from about -20 DEG  C. to about 120 DEG  C. for a time sufficient to saturate the surface of the support material; (C) mixing the product form (B) with (3) a titanium compound or a combination of a titanium compound and (4) a vanadium compound and stirring the resultant mixture at a temperature of from about -20 DEG  C. to about 120 DEG  C. for a time sufficient to allow complete reaction of the titanium compound and the vanadium compound with the organomagnesium moieties remaining on the solid support; (D) mixing the product from (C) with an inert organic solution of (5) a Group IIIA metal alkyl halide at a temperature of from about -20 DEG  C. to about 120 DEG  C. for a time sufficient to complete the reduction of the titanium and vanadium, if present, compounds to their final oxidation state. Ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers which have greater than 17 percent high density fraction and a Mw/Mn ratio of less than about 3.6 are shown to be useful in making cast films which have good stretchability and good puncture resistance. Copolymers of the present invention having the specified properties are especially useful in making the films.

Abstract: The universal shoe toecap and stiffener protector is a device in ladies' and gentlemen's footwear to protect the toecap and stiffener from wear during their use in motor vehicles. In the present state of the art, there are "protective vehicle floor inserts" for this problem. They do prevent wear to some extent, buy very poorly as they have considerably drawbacks; for example, they quickly become soiled and, depending on the nature of the material, also absorb water during rain or snow. This soiling also causes wear during foot movements when the accelerator, brake or clutch pedals are being operated. It is the purpose of the universal shoe toecap and stiffener protector to eliminate this problem solely through its direct attachment to the shoe so that the shoe can no longer suffer wear from any particles of dirt. It is secured to the shoe by hook-and-loop, perforated, eyelet or laced attachments. Technical development of the universal shoe toecap and stiffener protector: upper material: leather, rubber, fabric, plastic; lining material: felt, fabric, rubber, foam material; assembly: stitched, welded or adhesively secured.
