Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ascenseur comprenant un palan installé sur la surface de la paroi arrière d'un puits dans la direction de la profondeur, la tige de la partie moteur dudit dispositif étant orthogonale par rapport à la surface de la paroi arrière, et une roue de retour montée rotative autour d'une tige horizontale, dans un dégagement situé entre une cage et la surface d'une paroi latérale du puits, cette roue de retour étant rattachée à la poulie d'entraînement du palan par un câble de levage et modifiant la direction du câble de levage. La rainure de la roue de retour est plus grande que la rainure de la poulie d'entraînement. Etant donné qu'on peut réduire l'épaisseur de la poulie d'entraînement en augmentant la rainure de la roue de retour, qui est rattachée à la poulie d'entraînement par le câble de levage et qui modifie la direction du câble, supérieure à celle de la poulie d'entraînement, on peut réduire un dégagement situé entre la cage et la surface de la paroi latérale du puits afin de diminuer le coût de construction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating adhered paper from paper-covered gypsum board, involving passing the gypsum board past a magnet to automatically remove ferrous materials from the gypsum board without stopping the process/apparatus, pulverizing that gypsum board into a screenable mixture of pieces of paper and smaller separated gypsum board particles, and then screening that mixture and segregating the pieces of paper from the gypsum board particles. This method and apparatus may optionally also include an area for manually pre-sorting and removing non-gypsum materials from the gypsum board prior to pulverization, may optionally also include additional screening steps, and may optionally also include passing the screened and segregated gypsum board particles past a second magnet. The magnets may have self-cleaning belts.

Abstract: Porous polymers having a plurality of openings or chambers that are highly convoluted, with each chamber being defined by multiple, thin, flat partitions are produced by a new gel enhanced phase separation techinque. In a preferred embodiment, a second solven t is added to a ploymer solution, the second solvent causing the  solution to gel. The gel can then be shaped as needed. Subsequent solvent extraction leaves the porous polymeric body of defined  shape. The porous polymers have utility as medical protheses, t he porosity permitting ingrowth of neighboring tissue. The present technique also enhances shape-making capability, for example, of bifurcated vascular grafts, which feature a common entrance re gion but two or more exit regions.

Abstract: To provide a method of processing intake air pressure signals for accurately detecting the engine load including the accelerating state and the intake air flow rate from the intake air pressure. <??>Intake air pressure signals detected with an intake air pressure sensor 15 are processed with a low-pass filter. The low-pass filter is set to cut off frequencies that are not higher than the frequency corresponding to the wavelength that is four times the length of a pressure guide pipe 23 leading to the pressure sensor 15 and to cut off frequencies that are not lower than the driving frequency of the intake valve, which eliminates electric noises and air column vibration occurring in the pressure guide pipe 23 and makes it possible to obtain smooth and real changes in the intake air pressure commensurate with the strokes. <IMAGE>

The fluids entering or leaving the exchanger stay below 520 degreesC throughout, and the hot inlet to the exchanger stays below 120 degreesC  The heat exchanger operates with a maximum service temperature less than 540 degreesC. The fluids entering or leaving the exchanger stay below 500 degreesC throughout, and the hot inlet to the exchanger stays below 100 degreesC. The temperature of at least one of the fluids entering the exchanger, or the proportion of oxygen in the oxidizing fluid is reduced if during the oxidation the temperature of one of the fluids entering or leaving the exchanger reaches or passes a limit temperature of 490 degreesC, or the hot inlet to the exchanger reaches or passes 90 degreesC. The proportion of oxygen in the oxidizing fluid is less than or equal to 2.5%, preferably 2% by mole, or is such that the temperature differential in total adiabatic combustion is less than 100 degreesC.

Abstract: In a system for screening off an area, a partition element substantially covers the space between two upstanding carrier elements. The partition element is catchable in the carrier elements in a temporary, unstable preparatory position. The partition element lacks the capability of remaining in the preparatory position by its own force. The partition element is further movable from the preparatory position to a fixedly locked position in the carrier elements. In a method of mounting and dismounting of a partition element on two upstanding carrier elements, the partition element is hooked in the carrier elements in the preparatory position. Thereafter, the partition element is moved to a fixedly locked position in the carrier elements.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a glass article with a metal member joined thereto in which an electroconductive coating film is formed on at least a part of the surface of the glass article by baking a silver paste that includes Ag particles and a glass frit, a joining plane of the metal member is fixed onto the electroconductive coating film with a lead-free solder alloy containing Sn as a main component, and the lead-free solder alloy contains at least 1.5 mass% ofAg, which prevents the appearance of the electroconductive coating film and the bonding strength from degrading. Furthermore, in the present invention, when using a metal member having at least two joining planes, the total area of the joining planes is set within a range of 37 mm<2> to 50 mm<2>, which allows high bonding strength between the glass article and metal member to be maintained while using the lead-free solder alloy. Moreover, in the present invention, the volume of the lead-free solder alloy to be provided on each joining plane is set to be 1.0 to 2.0 times the product of the area of the joining plane concerned and the thickness of the lead-free solder alloy, which prevents cracks from occurring in the glass article. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A syringe plunger driver system capable of capturing syringes of widely varying sizes comprises a pair of asymmetric plunger retainer arms pivotally mounted to plunger driver. The system includes a low profile driver having a length that exceeds its width so that it may be mounted adjacent control modules and other operational modules. The arms are biased towards each other and one arm is longer than the other with a notch on an inside edge to receive the tip of the shorter arm when capturing small syringe flanges. A rotation knob mounted to the front surface of the low profile driver forces the arms apart when rotated to a first rotation position. A force sensor (94) is mounted in the driver to detect occlusions in the fluid line. A processor monitors the force sensed by the force sensor and provides an alarm if the force exceeds a threshold. The driver includes a force concentrator (84) that defines a pushing surface (71) adapted to press against a plunger flange so that the force applied to the plunger flange is concentrated at a defined location for more accurate measurement.
