Abstract: A current of gas is directed towards the filament and is coaxial and perpendicular to the filament. The element (5) which directs the gas can be moved to allow replacement with an element having inner diameter determined by the other element as a function of the diameter of the filament to be treated. A device for wiping with a gas jet is designed to control the thickness of coating (1) of liquid metal formed on a metal filament (2) leaving a bath (3) of this liquid metal and being displaced essentially vertically above this bath. The device is arranged at a certain distance above the bath (3) and comprises an element (5) presenting a tubular space (6) with a circular transverse section in which the filament (2) may be axially displaced, an annular injector (7) coaxial to the tubular space (6) directs a current of gas towards the filament in the shape of a blade perpendicular to the axis of the filament and oriented radially with respect to the filament. This allows any excess liquid metal to be wiped from the filament (2) as it leaves the bath (3). The element (5) is mounted so that it can be moved to allow the replacement of an element with an inner diameter determined by another element, as a function of the diameter of the filament to be treated. An Independent claim is also included for the method used to put this wiping device into service.

Abstract: The scanning probe microscope is provided with a probe
tip (20) directed to a sample surface, an XYZ fine movement
mechanism (18) for providing a relative positional change
between the sample (16) and the probe tip, and a displacement
detecting section (21) for detecting the displacement of the
probe tip. The scanning probe microscope measures the surface
characteristic of the sample by using a control signal. This
control signal is generated on a signal outputted from the
displacement detecting section and is used for keeping a state
of a mutual action generated between the sample and the probe
tip identical to a predetermined state, while the probe tip
scans the surface of the sample based on the operation of the
XYZ fine movement mechanism. Further, it comprises a moving
section (12) arranged on a standard surface of a microscope
stage (11a), which has the sample on an upper surface and
moves along the standard surface based on a static pressure
guide, a height-position control section (15) for selectively
supplying high-pressure fluid to the moving section so as to
carry out the static pressure guide and controlling the
height-position of the moving section to the standard surface,
and an actuating mechanism (13) for moving the moving section
in directions parallel to the standard surface.

Abstract: Iron ore is reduced to molten iron by introducing the ore into a reactor (A) while
combusting coal with pure oxygen in the reactor (A). The molten iron phase (60),
which forms at the bottom of the reactor (A), is stirred by injecting carbon monoxide
into the molten iron (60). In a preferred embodiment, finely pulverized iron ore is
injected with pure oxygen tangentially into a cyclone section (2) of the furnace (A)
situated on top of a converter section (4), thereby causing melting and preliminary
reduction of the ore to take place in the cyclone section (2). Primary reduction of the
iron oxide occurs in the converter section (4) of the furnace.

Abstract: A lined pipe is produced with automatic and simultaneous flaring of both ends of a
liner. A heated die (80) presses the liner at each end to an intermediate stage. A
final flaring die (85) completes the flare. This die remains in position and acts as a
conduit for injection of fluid under pressure into the liner at one end and control of
pressure at the other end so that a pressure test is performed. There is an excellent
seal with the inner surface of the liner to perform the pressure test because the dies
are used  in-situ . Production efficiency is improved because both ends are formed
simultaneously and the pressure test is performed without the need to either move
the pipe assembly to a different workstation or even to move a head within an
existing workstation.

Abstract: A Villari effect sensor comprises a sensing rod constructed from a magnetostrictive material. An alternating current signal applied to an overlapping drive coil is inductively coupled by the sensing rod to the sensing coils and generates a signal thereon, responsive to the permeability of the magnetostrictive sensing rod which decreases responsive to the applied load. The sensing rod comprises one or more sections, each having a distinct cross sectional area, and a sensing coil is associated with each section. A signal processor calculates the magnitude of the applied force from either the maximum flux density, or by differencing the first and third harmonics of the signal from the sensing coil. The weight of an occupant on a vehicle seat (300) is measured by either incorporating a tensile force measuring Villari effect sensor in series with the seat springs, or incorporating a compressive force measuring Villari effect sensor in series with seat posts (314).

Abstract: A sealed collet having improved radial flexibility is provided for facilitating removal from a locknut of a chuck assembly. The sealed collet includes a collet body formed from a tubular configuration of elongated gripping fingers separated by elongated slots which render the body radially resilient in response to pressure applied by a locknut. The slots are filled with a bonding agent, which may be a silicon rubber compound, for preventing dirt and debris from entering the collet slots and for preventing pressurized coolant intended to flow through a bore in a tool shank from flowing through the walls of the collet body. To increase the radial compressibility of the collet, agent-free gaps are provided in the slots immediately behind a distal portion of the collet body. In the preferred embodiment, the length of the agent-free gap is between 20% and 30% of the overall length of its respective slot. The location of the gaps immediately behind the distal end of the collet body advantageously increases the radial compressibility of the collet while allowing the bonding agent in the slots to continue to prevent debris from entering the collet.
