Abstract: An apparatus for holding and guiding a floating riser relative to a floating support. The apparatus includes a guidance mechanism secured to the floating support for enabling the riser to rotate about a horizontal axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the riser; and for enabling the riser to slide longitudinally along the longitudinal axis and lateral displacement of the riser to be guided in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the riser. The guidance mechanism includes friction pads mounted on a pad support for enabling the pads to pivot. The pads preferably cooperate with wheels such that the wheels bear against the riser and enable it to slide, and the riser comes to bear against the pads only when the wheels are moved away under the effect of lateral displacements of the riser.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) de capteur de véhicule comprenant un capteur (14) de véhicule constitué d'un matériau de densité relativement faible, destiné à un composant (12) de guidage de fluide d'un véhicule, tel qu'un collecteur d'admission d'air comportant un élément (18) de réception du capteur constitué d'un matériau à densité relativement élevée. Lorsqu'on insère le capteur (14) dans ledit élément (18) de réception, la surface (30) d'engagement du capteur, relativement plus tendre, est déplacée de son état de repos par la surface (26) d'engagement plus dure de l'élément de réception. La surface (30) d'engagement plus tendre du capteur est élastique et tente toujours de revenir à sa position de repos afin de soulager la zone soumise à des tensions élevées. En essayant de revenir à son état de repos, la surface (30) d'engagement du capteur « glisse » vers une zone soumise à de plus faibles tensions. Le corps (14) du capteur réagit en « glissant » vers le composant de guidage de fluide du véhicule. L'invention exploite ainsi le soulagement des tensions résiduelles créées lors de l'insertion du corps (14) du capteur afin de resserrer le montage du capteur dans ledit composant (12) du véhicule.

A plurality of spaced hook members (28) are secured to the conveyor chain and have a shank (30) slidably engaging the top of the perimeter wall, and a hook portion extends downwardly and outwardly with respect to the perimeter wall. The semi-circular end portion of the second end (18) of the platform comprises a sausage loading station and has a diameter less than the distance between the side portions of the perimeter wall so that the hook portions of the hook members sliding over such end portion will travel at a speed greater than the speed of the hook members sliding over the side portions of the perimeter wall.

Abstract: A new class of solid solvents selected from adipamides, bisacetamides, biscarbamates, and dibenzamides has been found effective to reduce the melt viscosity of certain block copolymers while not substantially adversely affecting the mechanical properties of the block copolymer when both block copolymer and solid solvent are below their melt temperature. The block copolymers can be polyether-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyurethane block copolymers, polyester-polyether block copolymers, polyamide polyether, or polyamide polyester. The combination is especially useful as an adhesive, as the adhesive component for fabric laminates or as the adhesive for seam sealing tapes.

Abstract: A two-conductor bidirectional digital telemetry interface between a seismic sensor acquisition/conversion module and a seismic data collection module. The data collection module is configured as a master electronics device and the sensor acquisition/conversion module is configured as a slave electronics device in the telemetry system. The master device provides power to the slave device over the two conductors. The master device transmits portions of commands to the slave device at a first time and the slave device transmits portions of a digital seismic data packet to the master at a different second time in a fixed-duration frame. The frames are transmitted at regular intervals. The outbound commands and inbound data are encoded by block codes. A phase-locked loop in the slave is locked to a master clock in the master by deriving a clock and a sync point from the block-coded commands it receives from the master. The block code representing each command bit minimizes dc drift and provides a level transition in the command that can be used to maintain synchronism between master and slave.

Abstract: A system and method for registering the frames of film with respect to an aperture in a motion picture projector. A registration reference mark is applied to each frame corresponding to the location of the frame on the film. When the film is intermittently stopped in the projector's film gate, the registration reference mark is read to determine the location of that frame relative to the immediately preceding frame. If the frame in the gate is misregistered, the gate is moved to correctly register the frame prior to projection. By properly registering the frames, the "jitter" and "weave" associated with conventional projectors is eliminated and resolution of the projected film image is enhanced.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an autofocusing device, preferably for microscopes for wafer inspection, in which a point-shaped illumination diaphragm (1) which is illuminated by laser light is imaged in an observed object (5). An image of the point illuminated on the observed object (5) is formed in a measurement diaphragm arrangement conjugate to the illumination diaphragm (1), the position of maximum intensity of this image is determined by a position-sensitive detector (11) and this position is compared to a position corresponding to the focus position, and an actuating signal for autofocusing is obtained from the deviation between the two positions. In an autofocusing device of the type described above, the measurement diaphragm arrangement comprises a plurality of optically active components which are arranged one behind the other in axial direction and have partially transparent and partially opaque structures which complement one another, and the components are arranged in the beam path in front of and behind the position conjugate to the illumination diaphragm (1) within a distance from one another corresponding to the depth of focus. The cross section of the light beam coming from the observed object (5) is blocked by the structures to a greater or lesser extent depending on the position of the observed object (5).
