Abstract: A magnetoelastic layer is provided on a shaft for sensing torque carried by the shaft around a longitudinal axis. The layer includes first and second adjacent annular parts of a magnetically anisotropic material with circumferential easy axes. The parts are magnetically polarized in opposite circumferential directions when in a quiescent state, but produce helical magnetic fields with respective axial components when torque is carried by the shaft. First and second magnetic-field-guiding structures combine to provide shielding of the magnetoelastic layer from ambient external magnetic fields and to maximize coupling of the axial components from the magnetoelastic layer to one or more magnetic field detectors.

Abstract: The ultrasound is directed along two ultrasonic paths which run mirror-inverted to one another on a common diagonal plane of a measuring tube (1), each of which is defined by two ultrasonic converters (2, 3; 4, 5) and an intermediate functional reflecting surface (9). The ultrasound is emitted in each case as a divergent bundle of rays and is focused by the apertaining reflecting surface, whereby the centre line (8) of each sonic path forms a triangular tip in projection normal to and parallel to the axis. The sonic paths are put through areas of the cross section of the measuring tube, in which the weighted mean values of the velocity constants are k=1.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making closed-cell, alkenyl aromatic polymer foam packing bodies or foam strands. An alkenyl
aromatic polymer material is heated to form a melt polymer material. A blowing agent is incorporated into the melt polymer material
at an elevated pressure to form a foamable gel. The blowing agent has 20 weight percent or more of a first blowing agent
selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide and ethane. The foamable gel is extruded through a die to form a foam
strand. The foam strand is optionally pelletized to form a plurality of foam bodies. The bodies are further expanded by exposing
them one or more times to heated air or steam. Preferably, the strands or bodies are allowed to age for a preselected period of
time before and between subsequent expansions. The use of carbon dioxide and/or ethane as blowing agents allows the reduction
or elimination of certain blowing agents dassified as volatile organic contaminants, which are currently being employed commercially
in making foam bodies.
