Abstract: The invention relates to a training projectile comprising a shroud (2) and a base (3) connected to said shroud so as to be capable of driving the projectile in rotation, as well as an internal load (5) serving as ballast. According to the invention, the shroud (2) is produced from a material of low resilience so as to be capable of breaking into fragments under a shock, whilst at the same time being of sufficient rigidity to preserve the intactness of the projectile, and the internal load (5) is produced from a material which is both dense and brittle, so as to be capable of being pulverised under the impact of the shock or just after this: the training projectile (1) is thus disintegratable on impact with a lightweight target or with soft ground, also with the absence of ricochet if the target is not hit. Furthermore, the projectile comprises an expulsion charge (13) adjacent to the internal load (5), so as to limit the self-destruction distance when the target is not hit, this expulsion charge being initiated by a tracer (16) seated in the lower part of the base (3). The invention is used for producing an anti-ricochet and self-destructive training projectile disintegratable on impact for low-trajectory firing ranges. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an apparatus for continuous heat treatment, a mechanically fluidized stream of material consisting preferably of a granular or highly viscous material is heated in a rotating chamber in co-current with heat energy originating from a burner (1), in which solid, liquid or gaseous fuel is burned. A portion of the energy liberated by the combustion heats the internal part of a thin-walled chamber (5), the external part of which at the material inlet (10) transfers energy to said stream of material in the form of radiant heat. The remaining portion of the energy liberated by the combustion, bound in the exhaust gases from the combustion process, are subjected to heat exchange in a primary convective heat exchanger (7) and one or more secondary heat exchangers (8) in counter-current with a gaseous process medium, preferably atmospheric air, said process medium transferring further energy to said stream of material in the form of convective energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a combing machine having a gripper unit (1) which presents the fibre tuft (18) of a lap (16) for combing out (20). The gripper consists of a lower gripper (2) and of an upper gripper (3) which is articulated pivotably on the lower gripper and which is equipped, in the region of the nip (17) for the lap, with a gripper lip engaging over the front end face (31) of the lower gripper. In practice, there is the requirement for the combing out of ever greater lap weights and therefore thicker lap webs. Consequently, when conventional grippers are used, the nip becomes larger, as does also therefore the distance between the lower edge (33) of the gripper lip (30) and the enveloping circle (29) of the comb segment (19), with the result that a poor combing-out effect is obtained. …<??>For combing out thick lap webs, it is therefore proposed that, with the gripper completely closed, the distance (A) between the gripper lip and the round-comb axis (6) be smaller than the radius (R1) of the enveloping circle of the comb segment (19). It is proposed to limit the pivoting movement of the upper gripper (3) by means (25, 26, 35, 40, 43) which guarantee a safety distance (Z) in the nipping position of the gripper (1). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: For multi-cell, mechanical draft, vacuum steam condensers, a noncondensible gas removal system that isolates bundles and fan cells from external/internal influences and gas/vapor interchange and allows bundles to operate in a reverse air-flow direction, all of which promotes freeze protection and improved performance. The system is isolated into single fan cells (62) for the removal and discharge of its non-condensable gas/vapors, each fan cell having a fan (60) and a predetermined number of steam condensing bundles (40, 42, etc) which includes a front header (258), finned tubes (252) and rear header means (6, 18, 254, etc) whose gas/vapors are extracted and isolated from all other fan cells by a vacuum-producing ejector means (58, 59, 210, etc) directly coupled to the rear header means by pipe and manifold means (34, 36, 52) all located and installed within the confines of the fan cell they serve. 
     Orifice-type restrictions means are installed for the mass flow control of gas/vapors leaving the rear headers and entering the steam ejector and for the isolation of the bundles and tube rows from gas/vapor interchange. The fan (60) for each cell forces ambient air flow across the finned tubes to thereby condense the steam inside the tubes, and may include means to reverse the direction of the air flow through the bundle by reversing the direction of the fan rotation or by changing the fan blade pitch. The orifice restriction means may be manually or automatically changeable to allow the bundles to operate in reverse direction ambient air flow. One restriction means (136, 138, 140, 142) may serve one rear header or all the rear headers in the fan cell that are of the same tube row number. The restriction means are different size orifice holes to accomodate different steam pressures and different flow rates, and may comprise parallel-connected and/or series-connected orifices.

Abstract: La soupape à bille décrite, qui est du type à tourillon, comprend un logement de soupape (1) présentant des ouvertures d'entrée et de sortie de préférence concentriques et dirigées dans des sens opposés (4, 5), pourvues chacune d'un siège interne (12, 12'), ainsi qu'un corps de soupape en forme de bille réversible, constituant la bille de soupape (2), qui comporte un passage traversant central (3), destiné à être sensiblement aligné sur lesdites entrée et sortie (4, 5), la soupape étant en position ouverte, et qui sert à fermer le passage traversant le logement de la soupape, celle-ci étant en position fermée, tout en maintenant un état d'étanchéité au niveau des sièges (12, 12') du logement de soupape. Pour produire une soupape à bille de ce type, dans laquelle la bille est amenée mécaniquement, sans force élastique ni pression différentielle, à effectuer un mouvement de rotation dans la position fermée, maintenant ainsi une étanchéité optimale au niveau des deux sièges (12, 12') du logement de soupape, la bille de soupape (2) est pourvue de deux jointures étanches diamétralement opposées (15, 15') qui, la soupape étant en position fermée, sont destinées à coopérer simultanément et hermétiquement chacune avec l'un des sièges (12, 12') du logement de soupape (1), les surfaces d'étanchéité (17, 17', 16, 16') des sièges de soupape et les jointures étanches de la bille s'étendant excentriquement par rapport au point de rotation de la bille constitué par son centre géométrique. Grâce à la conception excentrique des surfaces d'étanchéité des sièges et des jointures étanches, l'effet d'étanchéité est optimisé avec une force de serrage mécanique croissante et, la soupape étant en position ouverte, au niveau de chacun des sièges (12, 12') du logement de soupape, est prévue une fente ayant une superficie d'écoulement plutôt étendue vers l'intérieur du logement de soupape, ce qui permet un rinçage efficace des composants internes de la soupape au moyen d'un petit écoulement partiel du fluide qui s'écoule à travers elle.
