Abstract: A leakproof plastic zipper with integrated end stops for a zipper slider particularly suited for thermoplastic bags. An increased flange height above the interlocking elements of the zipper and an increased plow depth on the separator of the slider extending down between the flanges provide a means of stopping the travel of the slider past the ends of the zipper. The separator structure depending from the slider has a configuration in vertical cross-section corresponding to an inverted T, the horizontal portion of the T having the ends thereof adapted to be received in window structure in the flanges above the interlocking elements and adjacent one of the integrated end stops.

Title: Process for drawing wire-like superconductors

IPC: B28B1/00

Granted: 1998-05-20
Abstract: Superconducting, oxidic ceramic materials are worked to filamentary conductors, in that they are filled into silver tubes (2), drawn with the latter to filamentary conductors and then sintered under flowing oxygen. So that such filamentary conductors can be produced industrially with an adequate quality, drawing speed and yield, the silver tube (2) as a sintered sleeve is brought into contact with the ceramic material (1) in a drawing sleeve (3), of soft annealed steel (35) and the resulting sleeve combination undergoes the drawing stages. After drawing the steel drawing sleeve is removed by etching. In a large number of drawing stages, it is necessary to remove the drawing sleeve which has become hard due to the cold working and to replace it by a new, soft annealed sleeve. Simultaneously the sintering sleeve can undergo soft annealing.

Abstract: A metal support disk useful in sealing an electrochemical cell exerts a resilient outward radial force against the seal to assure seal integrity over a wide temperature range and exerts an upward force against an adjacent metal end cap terminal to assure continued mechanical and electrical contact with the terminal. The support is a stepped disk having a centrally located, shallow, cylindrical pill-box, with the bottom of the pill-box extending radially outward into an annular ring. A spring means in the form of an S-shaped rim extends down from the periphery of the ring, terminating at its bottom in an outward extending flange. The edge of the flange presses a plastic seal member against the inside wall of the cell to form the seal.

Abstract: A system for spectroscopic imaging of bodily tissue in which a scintillation screen and a charged coupled device (CCD) are used to accurately image selected tissue. Applications include the imaging of radionuclide distributions within the human body or the use of a dual energy source to provide a dual photon bone densitometry apparatus that uses stationary or scanning acquisition techniques. An x-ray source generates x-rays which pass through a region of a subject's body, forming an x-ray image which reaches the scintillation screen. The scintillation screen reradiates a spatial intensity pattern corresponding to the image, the pattern being detected by a CCD sensor. The image is digitized by the sensor and processed by a controller before being stored as an electronic image. A dual energy x-ray source that delivers two different energy levels provides quantitative information regarding the object being imaged using dual photon absorptiometry techniques. Dual scintillation screens can be used to simultaneously generate images of low-energy and high-energy x-ray patterns. Each image is directed onto an associated respective CCD or amorphous silicon detector to generate individual electronic representations of the separate images.

Date Mar. 6, 1997Disclosed is a method of stabilizing the horizon of magnetic compasses. At measuring points measurements are taken of spatial components of the geomagnetic field vector and of an overall acceleration vector that is equal to the difference of the acceleration vector due to gravity and the acceleration vector of the magnetic compass. Taking into account the time rates of change of the measured components, the positional relation of the current horizon of the magnetic compass is determined relative to the stable horizon. Using quality functions that signal the deviation of the new spatial position relative to the one previously defined, an estimation method is used to evaluate the accuracy of the stabilized horizon of the system. A horizon can be produced that is largely unsusceptible to movement-induced accelerations of the device equipped with a magnetic compass.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an elongated hollow structural member that has a constant cross-section over its entire length and can be subjected to bending and compressive stresses. It can be used in construction as a pillar or a girder. The aim of the invention is to devise a support member that is made from renewable raw materials or remnants thereof or waste materials, that possesses sufficient strength and solidity, that can be manufactured to variable sizes and bearing capacities and that is simple to recycle and dispose of. This aim is accomplished with a construction support member in the form of a hollow section, comprised of layers of a sheet-like material that are wound around and bonded to one another to form plies. The walls of the support members consist of multiple layers of paper. The layers are produced from webs overlappingly wound in spirals. The layers are bonded with a waterproof adhesive, with the cross-section of the support member remaining constant over its entire length. The hollow-section support member can be further strengthened by being pretensioned in the longitudinal direction. The webs consist predominantly of paper and are combined with webs of fiber or woven fabric to meet the given requirements for strength. It is also possible to insert one support member coaxially inside another and bond the two together. In another arrangement, a number of support members of lesser diameter are inserted axially parallel into a support member of larger diameter and optionally cemented. This yields a high degree of stiffness at a low weight.

Abstract: A computer system takes as input an initial fault hierarchy KB0 and a set of annotated session transcripts C = ä&lang& pi j, rj&rang&ü and is given a specified set of revision operators T = äθiü where each θi  ELEMENT  T maps a fault hierarchy KB to a slightly different hierarchy θi(KB). This revised fault hierarchy θi(KB) is called a neighbor of KB, and the set of all neighbors of KB, N(KB)=äθi(KB) ü, is KB'S neighborhood. The computer system uses T to hill climb from the initial fault hierarchy KB0, through successive hierarchies, KB1... KBm, with successively higher empirical accuracies over C. The final hierarchy, KBm, is a local optimum in the space defined by the revision operators. At each stage, to go from a fault hierarchy KBi to its neighbor KBi+1, the present invention must evaluate KBi's accuracy over C, as well as the accuracy of each KB'  ELEMENT  N(KBi). If any KB' is found to be more accurate than KBi, this KB<*> hierarchy becomes the new standard, labeled KBi+1, and the theory revision process iterates, seeking a neighbor of this KBi+1, that is more accurate than KBi+1 over the set of examples C, and so forth. Otherwise, if no KB' is more accurate than KBi, the hill climbing process will return this KBi, and terminate. <IMAGE>
