Abstract: Luggage cases usually include wheels to aid in their transport. The wheels and their mounting systems must themselves be extremely sturdy, and should not cause weakness or mechanical failure of the luggage case to which they are mounted. The disclosed cantilever wheel mounting assembly includes an axle 22 with a protruding end 26 that fits into an elastomeric mounting block 20 that in turn is received in a corresponding cavity in a molded luggage case shell. A screw fastener 38 passes through one of the walls 15 of the cavity, and through a corresponding hole in the mounting block and through a hole 28 through the end of the axle 22 to hold the assembly in place while permitting the axle to pivot about the fastener when the elastomeric block flexes in response to vibrations and impacts in use. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An assembling element, particularly for vehicle bodywork, is provided with a fastening edge (14) onto which an elastic weatherstrip made from an extrusion-compatible elastomer is extruded. The fastening edge (14) is provided with anchoring notches (17). In a variant, the elastomer of the weatherstrip and the surface of the fastening edge (14) do not form a mutual adhesive joint and the anchoring notches (17) are provided so that the weatherstrip, which is anchored solely mechanically, can be detached if required from the fastening edge (14) and, without further processing, subsequently be refastened mechanically to the fastening edge. In a second variant, the anchoring notches (17) prevent play and make it possible substantially to enhance the connection between the strip and the edge.

Abstract: Un système de rotor (10), en particulier un arbre soutenu par un palier magnétique comportant un palier magnétique axial actif (12), comprend un détecteur (26) de déplacement axial de l'arbre et un transducteur de vitesse de déplacement (32) qui coopère avec une face axiale exposée (31) d'un épaulement ferromagnétique (30) de l'arbre ou un élément fonctionnel porté par celui-ci. Le transducteur (32) comprend un noyau d'aimant permanent annulaire, ayant un enroulement de détection annulaire disposé dans la rainure (34) entre une paire de pièces d'aimants permanents polaires annulaires (35, 36), deux premiers pôles (37', 38') étant réunis par une armature annulaire et les autres pôles (37, 38) étant séparés de la face de l'épaulement par des entrefers (39, 40), constituant un chemin pour le flux magnétique à travers l'épaulement. Des changements dans la densité du flux, résultant de changements dans la longueur de l'entrefer avec le déplacement de l'arbre, induisent une tension dans l'enroulement qui dépend de la vitesse de déplacement. Bien que l'enroulement soit disposé radialement à l'extérieur par rapport à l'axe de rotation (16) où la surface effectue un mouvement de translation à haute vitesse au droit des pièces polaires, l'aimant annulaire n'est pas influencé par les irrégularités qui modifient localement l'entrefer, contrairement à d'autres transducteurs.

Abstract: Device for magnetic suspension of a rotor (10, 20, 30) in relative rotational movement along a predetermined rotation symmetric path with respect to a stator (14, 24, 26, 34, 36). Rotor (10, 20, 30) comprises a rotational body (11, 21, 31) which essentially consists of an electrically conductive unmagnetic material. Fitted at the stator (14, 24, 26, 34, 36) is at least one magnetic means (12, 22, 25, 32, 35), which comprises at least one rotation symmetric magnet (12, 22, 25, 32, 35) concentric with the rotational axis. The magnetic means is disposed to give rise to a rotation symmetric magnetic field concentric with the rotational axis. When and only when the rotational body (11, 21, 31) tends to leave the predetermined path and rotate eccentric, the magnetic field generates induced eddy currents in the rotational body (11, 21, 31), said eddy currents give rise to restoring stabilising forces.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a high yield process for producing high quality corn fiber gum by hydrogen peroxide treatment of corn fiber during alkaline extraction and/or after obtaining the alkaline extract of milled corn fiber. This process comprises the steps: a) mixing corn fiber with an alkaline solution to form a slurry and extract hemicellulose; b) treating the slurry with hydrogen peroxide at a pH of about 10.0 to 12.5; and c) separating out the insoluble fractions from the corn fiber slurry to yield corn fiber gum. The corn fiber gum produced by this process is highly soluble in water and provides low viscosity solutions which are nearly devoid of color over a wide pH range. The corn fiber gum lacks objectionable flavor and aroma. The corn fiber gum is useful for a variety of applications, including film formation and to thicken, emulsify, stabilize and/or extend aqueous solutions and suspensions.
