Patent EP-1805330-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PUNGERSEK ROLAND
IPC: F27D3/15
Filed: 2005-09-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a tapping tube for a metallurgical fusion pot. The aim of the invention is to provide a tapping tube which minimises possible downtime and enables essentially identical tapping durations during the use of the tapping tube. To this end, the tapping tube functionally divides into two parts, namely a first part embodied according to prior art, and a second part that can be connected to the first part in an easily exchangeable (replaceable) manner, thus forming a complete tapping tube. According to the invention, the section of the tapping tube relating to the flow is the outlet end. The cross-section of the outlet end determines the outflow quantity and thus the outflow duration (tapping duration) of the metal melt.

Abstract: L'homogénéité de l'image ainsi que le rendement lumineux d'un dispositif d'affichage sont améliorés par l'introduction d'un diffuseur dépendant de la polarisation et d'un polariseur réfléchissant entre la source lumineuse et le panneau d'affichage à cristaux liquides, dans le système d'affichage. La qualité d'image est améliorée puisque le diffuseur agrandit la lumière incidente sur le panneau d'affichage à cristaux liquides. Le rendement lumineux est amélioré puisque le polariseur réfléchit la lumière non diffusée, confinée, de sorte qu'elle puisse être recyclée par un moyen de guidage optique dans le dispositif d'affichage, pour le rééclairement du panneau d'affichage à cristaux liquides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for making a monofilament-like product from a precursor containing at least one strand of fibres made from ultra-high molar mass polyethylene, comprising a) exposing the precursor to a temperature within the melting point range of the polyolefin for a time sufficient to at least partly fuse adjacent fibres and b) simultaneously stretching the precursor, wherein the precursor is compressed during fusing. The monofilament-like product thus made has a smoother surface appearance, and improved abrasion resistance, for example a reduced tendency to pilling during use as fishing line, than known similar products; making it very suitable for use as fishing line and the like.  The invention further relates to a monofilament-like product obtainable by said process, and to semi-finished and end-use products comprising said monofilament-like product.

Abstract: In an in-vehicle terminal (2), an operation data acquisition unit acquires operation data of a vehicle. Notification condition information specifying one of pieces of the operation data to be transmitted to the outside is stored in a storage unit. A notification determination unit reads out the latest notification condition information from the storage unit, and determines whether the operation data acquired by the operation data acquisition unit satisfies notification conditions specified by the read out notification condition information. An in-vehicle terminal transmitter-receiver transmits operation data determined to satisfy the notification conditions by the notification determination unit to an operation management terminal (3). At the time of updating the notification conditions, the operation management terminal (3) generates notification condition information according to settings from a user, and this information is transmitted to the in-vehicle terminal (2) via a center unit (4). With the in-vehicle terminal (2), a notification condition updating unit stores the notification condition information generated by the operation management terminal (3) in the storage unit.

Abstract: A moisture content sensor for measuring the moisture content of a medium. The sensor includes a probe that injects an electrical signal into the medium. Complex impedance circuitry located between the probe and the electrical signal source allows sensing electronics to generate a signal that represents the moisture content within the medium based on changes in the permittivity of the medium. The complex impedance circuitry minimizes the influence of temperature and conductivity of the medium on the sensed signal. The sensing electronics may be adjusted to optimize the sensor for varying medium conditions and to vary the linearity of the response curve based on volumetric water content of the medium.
