Abstract: Le dispositif décrit comprend des servomoteurs qui dirigent le canon, un viseur avec jumelles (8), un dispositif télémétrique et une calculatrice. Le viseur est maintenu pivotant sur un support (2, 5) fixé au canon. Des moyens (11) sont prévus pour mesurer directement et indirectement la vitesse angulaire de déplacement de la ligne de visée. La calculatrice calcule l'angle de correction requis et l'angle de déport du canon, et envoie des signaux de correction correspondants aux servomoteurs. Le dispositif fonctionne en trois phases. Pendant la phase I les vitesses angulaires du canon ont un rapport fixe avec le déplacement angulaire de la ligne de visée. Cette opération est effectuée manuellement en partant d'une position neutre. Une série de mesures télémétriques est effectuée et le bloc de calcul calcule une trajectoire de cible et la vitesse de la cible préliminaires. Pendant la phase II le télémétrage est interrompu et le canon est orienté en fonction de la trajectoire de cible et de la vitesse de la cible préliminaires. Pendant la phase III une autre série de mesures télémétriques est effectuée et la calculatrice calcule définitivement la vitesse de la cible et donc également l'angle de correction exacte ainsi que l'angle de déport du canon, les servomoteurs effectuant l'orientation du canon.

Title: Gels hydrophiles de polyacrylamide n-substitue et leur utilisation dans les methodologies electrocinetiques et chromatographiques
Inventor: RIGHETTI PIER GIORGIO
IPC: C08F2/46
Filed: 1992-08-05
Abstract: Des matrices pour des séparations électrocinétiques et chromatographiques basées sur une classe unique d'acrylamides mono et di-substituées (sur l'azote amido) (par exemple l'héthanol acrylamido-N-éthoxy, l'éthanol acrylamido-N,N-di-éthoxy), présentent les avantages suivants: a) forte résistance à l'hydrolyse alcaline (la plupart des zones de séparation ayant lieu à des valeurs de pH basiques); b) haute hydrophilie et c) plus grande porosité, du fait de la plus grande valeur de Mr des monomères. De telles matrices peuvent être préparées comme gels "réticulés chimiquement" ou comme "gels physiques", ce dernier se composant de "fils" de monomère monofonctionnel en l'absence de réticulant, à des concentrations supérieures au seuil de mélange. De plus, il est possible d'augmenter la porosité du gel en le polymérisant en présence d'agents d'agglomération latérale (par exemple de polyéthylène-glycol de Mr 6-20000 Da), obtenant ainsi des matrices qui permettent une meilleure résolution de protéines de Mr élevée et de fragments d'acide nucléique; en polymérisant la matrice en présence d'un gradient de l'agent d'agglomération latérale, il est possible d'obtenir un gradient de porosité même pour un pourcentage constant de monomères dans le gel. Enfin, la photopolymérisation (par exemple avec du bleu de méthylène et un couple d'oxydoréduction, toluènesulfinate de sodium et chlorure de diphényliodonium et de la lumière) à la place des catalyseurs standards red/ox, empêche la formation d'oxydes-N d'amines présents dans la solution de polymérisation.

Title: Switch
Inventor: MERTEN GUENTER
IPC: H01H15/10
Filed: 1993-04-29
Abstract: In the case of the switch (1), sudden closing or opening of the electrical contacts (4, 5) is achieved in that the switch (1) has a two-armed switching bridge (link) (3) which moves with respect to a stationary contact element (12), is supported on a bearing block (8) on the switch housing or base such that it can tilt and has a cam (3a) in the region of the bearing block (8) with respect to which cam (3a) an operating part (2), which likewise has a cam (2a), can move along the switching bridge (3), transversely with respect to the bearing block (8), in such a manner that the apexes (vertices) of the two cams (2a, 3a) must be overcome before the switching system moves into the desired ON or OFF switch position. In addition to an improvement in the switching sense, this also results in a qualitative improvement in the switching process, it being possible to adapt the method of operation of the switch easily to the respective requirements by corresponding design of the cams and of the mutually interacting elements. <IMAGE>

IPC: F28F9/22
Filed: 1993-05-03
Abstract: A heat exchanger such as a fuel/oil heat exchanger for use in an aircraft operates in an environment whereby the heat exchanger is caused to vibrate. This causes the various components to move relative to one another, for example the tubes (3,33) move relative to the baffle plates (5,15) and results in tube wear known as fretting. In the extreme perforation (failure) of the tubes occurs. 
     In the heat exchanger of the present invention an internal member such as a baffle plate (5,15) or a distance tube (7) against which the fuel tubes (3,13) move are made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) (trade name: ARLON) or polyamide imide (trade name: TORLON), which has a low coefficient of wear. It also has the required structural rigidity and strength properties within the operating temperature. Furthermore the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material of the internal member is greater than that of the material e.g. aluminium alloy, of the remaining components.

Abstract: An optical encoder for sensing angular position includes a rotatable optical medium having a major surface and an axis of rotation perpendicular to the surface, with a plurality of uniformly sized angular sectors defined on the surface. An annular digital track is defined on the surface concentric with the axis, a plurality of digital bits being formed on the surface in sequence along the digital track within each sector. Each such bit is optically readable as a binary 1 or a binary 0, with each plurality of bits defining a binary word. A first series of optically detectable analog marks are evenly spaced around a first analog track on the surface. The binary word in a sector is optically read to identify the angular position of that sector and indicate the approximate angular position of the medium, while the first series of analog marks can be optically detected to refine the approximate angular position indication. A source of light illuminates the surface along a fixed radius from the axis, while a digital track detector senses the illumination reflected from the digital bits and a first analog track detector senses the illumination reflected from the analog marks. Signal processing and decoding means convert the output of the digital track detector into a binary word and interpolate the precise angular position of the medium from the output of the first analog track detector. An input digital track optical fiber is connected between a digital track optical coupler and proximate the surface of the medium, while a first input analog track optical fiber is connected between a first analog track optical coupler and proximate the surface. Output digital track and first analog track optical fibers are connected between the couplers and the track detectors for conveying reflected light from the tracks to the detectors.
