Patent EP-0195798-B1 (EP)
IPC: B65D88/02
Filed: 1985-09-12
Granted: 1989-12-06
Abstract: This invention relates to a collapsible container comprising a bottom unit (1:1'), four angle posts (7:7'), two longitudinal side walls, two end walls (11:11') and an upper unit (12:12') supported by the end walls (11:11'). The reason for the container being made collapsible is to make it possible to place a number of folded-up containers in an unfolded container of the same kind at so-called return freight. What characterizes the container of the invention is that the side doors (8:8') forming the side alls are collapsible to packages, which are pivotable relative to the angle posts (7:7'). Moreover, the angle posts (7:7') with intermediate end wall (11:11') are pivotable relative to the bottom unit, the folded-up container having such dimensions that there is room for it in an unfolded container of the same type.

Date Feb. 12, 1987.A method of identifying and detecting remote objects by transmitting wave energy and receiving wave energy reflected from the object. Separate signal parameters pertaining to the wave energy received are processed forming a measured signature of the object. The measured signature is compared with a number of prestored signatures having the same signal parameters relating to known objects of interest. A recording is made of which prestored signatures correspond to the measured signature within predetermined tolerances. Subsequent transmission and reception of wave energy is used for updating the separate parameters and the measured signature. The updated measured signature is compared with the recorded prestored signatures for updated recording of a smaller number of prestored signatures corresponding to the updated measured signature within the predetermined tolerances.

Abstract: A magnetoelastic torque transducer for providing an electrical signal indicative of the torque applied to a member, the member including ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive means affixed to, associated with or forming a part of the surface of the torqued member for altering in magnetic permeability in response to the application of torque to the member. The ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive means is advantageously formed of a thermally hardened or iron-nickel martensite hardenable steel alloy characterized by a substantially isotropic magnetostriction having an absolute value of at least 5 ppm and including from 0.05 to 0.75 percent by weight carbon and sufficient of one or more elements selected from Ni, Cr, Co, Ti, Al, Mn, Mo, Cu and B to raise the alloy magnetostriction to at least 5 ppm absolute. Preferably, the ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive means is formed of nickel maraging steel. The transducer comprises a pair of axially spaced-apart annular bands defined within a region of the ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive means, the bands being endowed with residual stress created, respectively symmetrical right and left hand helically directed magnetic anisotropy of sufficiently large magnitude that the contribution to total magnetic anisotropy of any random anisotropy in the member is negligible. In one aspect of the invention, each said band has at least one circumferential region which is free of residually unstressed areas over at least 50% of its circumferential length. In another aspect of the invention, the alloy is thermally hardened before the bands are endowed with the residual stress-created magnetic anisotropy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To determine the boiling temperature of a liquid, e.g. a hygroscopic brake fluid, a probe (1,1') is immersed partly, that is to say until an exactly predefined depth, into the test liquid. The probe (1,1') contains a measuring unit (14) which incorporates a temperature sensor (17) and which is in communication with the test liquid via a supply bore (13). The upper part of the measuring unit (14) forms a condensation zone (15) which is connected to the atmosphere via discharge openings (16). On ebullition of the test liquid, a bubbles or foam boiling zone (22) is formed directly on top of the surface (21) of the liquid, and on top of the zone (22) a condensation zone (15) is formed, out of which the condensate flows off to the outside. The temperature in the bubbles boiling zone is measured by means of the temperature sensor (17).
