Patent NO-972941-D0 (NO)
Inventor: GREEN DAVID ROBERT
IPC: E04C5/12
Filed: 1997-06-23
Abstract: The invention relates to anchorage assemblies and in particular to anchorage assemblies having a novel wedge arrangement, wedges for use with anchorage assemblies and an anchorage member. In order to improve wedge performance in an anchorage assembly, a wedge (21) is provided having both internally (24) and externally (25) relieved portions to give a nose area (26) which is tapered to a greater extent than the rest of the wedge (21). Under normal load conditions, the wedge (21) behaves like a short wedge having no nose relief and is highly efficient. However, under high load or load limit conditions, the nose portion (26) of the wedge (21) is arranged to deform plastically so that fretting of the stressing element (23) gripped by the wedge (21) does not occur. As well as the high performance wedge, an improved anchorage member for the anchorage assembly is provided, the anchorage member having a number of steps (34-74). The provision of steps (34-74) in the anchorage member reduces the tendency for anchorage members to be drawn into prestressed concrete structures and reduces the bursting forces within such structures. The combination of an anchorage assembly having the improved wedge and improved anchorage member is a particularly effective and advantageous one.

Patent GB-8418112-D0 (GB)
Title: Vascular graft and blood supply
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1983-12-08
Abstract: A vascular graft is used to supply blood to one or more coronary artery branches. The vascular graft has an elongated U-shaped tubular body providing a continuous passage for carrying blood from a high pressure blood supply to a blood receiver. One or more openings in the body allow blood to flow into the coronary artery branches. The flow and pressure of the blood in the passage is controlled by a restriction providing a Venturi passage located remote from the inlet end of the tubular body. The restriction is reinforced with an annular sleeve to maintain a desired cross sectional area and length of the Venturi passage. The pressure differential between the blood supply and blood receiver maintains continuous and adequate blood flow at a desired pressure in the body passage and provides a continual supply of blood for the coronary artery branches.

Title: Manufacture of metal extrusions
IPC: B21C29/00
Filed: 1985-07-01
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for the manufacture of metal extrusions is disclosed in which the metal is extruded through a die having, preferably, a single extrusion aperture. The leading end of the extruded section is gripped and pulled sway from the die by a puller 11, and the section is at the same time rapidly and uniformly cooled in a tunnel 8 as extrusion proceeds. When the puller reaches a predetermined distance from the die, the puller and extrusion are stopped simultaneously. The extruded section is then gripped in a device 12 including a pair of gripping jaws adjacent the die and shearing means by which the section is cut through at a location between this pair of jaws and the die. The puller is then operated to move it to stretch the extruded section while the section remains gripped by the gripping jaws of device 12 and in alignment with the die.

Title: Fluid transducer
IPC: G01N11/16
Filed: 1987-03-11
Abstract: A transducer for measuring a parameter of a fluid, such as density or viscosity, comprises two generally parallel tines extending from a common yoke, forming a tuning fork adapted to be immersed in the fluid. The tines are excited to vibrate resonantly and in anti-phase by one or more piezo-electric exciting elements, which are housed in one or more cavities within the tines or the yoke. The vibrations are sensed by one or more similarly-housed piezo-electric sensing elements. The tines are shaped to enhance their sensitivity to the parameter to be measured: for example they are provided with re-entrant surfaces to enhance density sensitivity, or elongated in the direction in which they vibrate to enhance viscosity sensitivity.

Title: Phonemic recognition system
IPC: G10L15/12
Filed: 1987-03-18
Abstract: Comparatively macroscopic phonemic units consisting of continuous sounds are used as standard patterns in continuous dynamic programming. In matching intervals between these standard patterns and input patterns, a sampled pattern is labeled according to the phonemes and phonemic particles which form the standard patterns. In the matching intervals, the labeled pattern is called a matching history. The matching history of a standard pattern when the continuous dynamic programming value is below a certain threshold value is used to recognize the phonemes of the input patterns.

Date Sep. 7, 1990.The machine is provided with a set of two pairs of die halves 60, 62 (FIG. 7) mounted in a framework on hydraulically actuated piston and cylinder assemblies. The die halves 60 and 62 of each pair are relatively radially reciprocable to grip or release a workpiece 102, 104 and the two pairs of die halves are relatively axially reciprocable to effect cold pressure welding together of end portions of the workpieces 102, 104. Adjoining end faces of the die halves are formed with nose portions 100 having inner anvil edges for effecting welding flash removal from the workpieces. In operation, the die halves are moved in sequence to grip the workpieces; to urge the ends of the workpieces together to form a cold pressure weld upset zone; to release the workpieces; to grip one of the workpieces; to urge the gripped workpiece axially relative to a pair of anvil edges to clear flash material from the upset to maintain the cross-sectional area at the weld upset zone substantially constant; and to re-position the upset weld zone centrally of the nose portions to repeat the sequence. Removal of the flash material intermediate consecutive weld upsets is effected in alternate directions. The anvil edges may be staggered, angled or of helical form to enhance the shearing effect to clear the flash material from the upset weld zone.
