Abstract: This new method employs a mould (30a, 30b) and pressure injection machine to make plastic mouldings (16). In a first phase when the machine is started, a series of mouldings are test-injected in individual cycles. After mould opening and ejection, they are examined. In a second phase, the machine speed (v) is increased without examination, once the test mouldings have reached a predetermined quality. Mouldings are extracted in the first phase using a motor-operated carrier system (10). Following extraction, the carrier system is stopped for a predetermined time ( DELTA 2t,  DELTA 3t), for moulding examination.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for casting ferrous metal strip. A casting pool (30) of ferrous molten metal is supported on a pair of chilled generally horizontal casting rolls (22) forming a nip (27) between them. The casting rolls (22) rotate mutually opposite directions to produce a solidified metal strip (12) moving downwardly from the nip (27). The strip (12) passes along a transit path (10) which takes it away from the nip (27) in an unrestrained loop (29) disposed within a strip enclosure (38) within which the strip is confined through said transit path (10). The strip (12) moves downwardly from the nip (27) to form the unrestrained loop (29) passes between a pair of cooled non-contact heat absorbers (101) to which heat is radiated from the strip (12) whereby to extract from the strip heat generated by completion of solidification of metal therein after leaving the casting pool (30). Heat absorbers (101) are formed as opposite side walls of a cooling collar (100) defining an upper part of enclosure (38) and provided with cooling water ducts (102).

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'un composé dont la structure correspond à la formule (I) où A, R1, R2, R3, Y et Z sont tels que définis dans la description. Ce procédé consiste à faire réagir une amine hétérocyclique avec un monaldéhyde ou un dialdéhyde dans un pH allant environ de 8 à 14. Après réaction de l'amine hétérocyclique, on procède à sa quaternisation à l'aide d'un agent d'alcoylation à un pH au moins égal à 2. Le réglage du pH permet d'éviter dans une grande mesure la formation d'un produit intermédiaire protoné et indésirable.

Abstract: Ce procédé de formation des bosses de contact comporte plusieurs opérations. La première opération consiste à former une bille (5) à l'extrémité distale d'un fil (4) qui dépasse par l'extrémité inférieure d'un tube capillaire (12). La deuxième opération consiste à ouvrir une pince (11) qui maintient fermement le fil (4) au-dessus du tube capillaire (12) et à faire descendre le tube capillaire (12) et la pince (11), le déplacement de la pince (11) étant inférieur au déplacement du tube capillaire (12). La différence de déplacement correspond à la longueur de fil (4) dépassant en dessous de l'extrémité inférieure d'un tube capillaire (12) pendant la première opération. La troisième opération consiste à former la bosse (21) à partir de la bille (5) en la faisant adhérer. La quatrième opération consiste à séparer le fil (4) de la bosse (21), d'une part en fermant la pince (11) et en relevant la pince (11) et le tube capillaire (21) jusqu'aux positions initiales de la première opération, et d'autre part en amenant l'extrémité distale du fil (4) à dépasser par l'extrémité inférieure du tube capillaire (12) d'une longueur définie.

Abstract: A two port handheld VNA enabling both reflection and transmission measurements to be made over a range of 25 MHz to 3.3 GHz frequency range. The handheld VNA includes a tracking synthesizer which generates a LO signal without a direct connection to a reference oscillator, enabling resolution of the LO signal to be independent of a generated RF test signal. Synchronous detectors are further included to provide incident, reflected, and transmitted IF signals to an A/D converter. To enable operation in the presence of external signals, a feedback dither line is provided from one of the synchronous detector outputs to sweep the frequency of the reference oscillator. The handheld VNA also is configured to optionally operate as a frequency monitor to determine the frequency range and power level of incoming signals without upconverting and downconverting to eliminate images as typically done in a spectrum analyzer. The frequency monitoring circuit operates by dividing the frequency range to be monitored into bins. The LO signal is then stepped for each bin until RF signals within the bin frequency range can generate an IF signal. The maximum IF signal power level detected during measurements for the bin is then stored as a power level for signals in each bin.

Abstract: A fork lift truck capacity monitor or alerting device informs operators of the weight on the forks and fork height and alerts operators whenever truck speed is above creep with the forks raised above a collapsed height or whenever the forks are raised above a recommended height for a given load. The alerting device includes a control circuit that receives inputs from a speed sensor, a fork height sensor and a weight sensor and reads a memory storing data correlating load weights with maximum recommended fork heights. A truck icon is displayed on a display panel. A plurality of height zone lamps representing the weight of the load on the forks are arranged in a vertical column over the truck icon and selectively illuminated according to the load on the forks. A plurality of lamps represent the height of the forks with the fork height lamps, which include one lamp positioned to represent a lowered position of the forks and a plurality of lamps equal in number to the height zone lamps and placed horizontally opposite therefrom, being selectively illuminated according to the height of the forks. An alarm signal alerts operators whenever the forks are raised above the recommended height for a given load weight, or whenever truck speed exceeds a predetermined maximum speed and the forks are above the collapsed height. The alarm signal may include a combination of an audible signal, a text message, and a flashing lamp.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves a covering element for building surfaces and a method for the production thereof. The covering element includes a decorative visible side generally having a support plate having top and bottom surfaces, an upper transparent face sheet bonded to the top surface of the support plate, and a lower face sheet bonded to the bottom surface of the support plate. The upper face sheet has a support layer having cellulose in which an abrasion-resistant material is embedded in the form of corundum particles. In the present configuration, a decorative layer is applied to the bottom of the support layer by a color printing process. The decorative layer, which is underneath the support layer, is visible after all the layers have been pressed together under the application of heat. This process causes it to become transparent. The support layer and the decorative layer are covered with bonding material having melamine resin. The lower face sheet includes a tension layer made of paper which is also covered with bonding material.
