Abstract: A power take-off assembly (10) for a work vehicle including an improved power take-off stub shaft (12) for installation and removal. The power take off stub shaft (12) is extended and a cut out section on the first end (32) of the stub shaft (12) is provided to engage an extended portion of a spring loaded mechanism (26). Once the cut out section securely fits over the extended portion, the spring loaded mechanism (26) is prevented from axially moving in a rightward direction, thus enabling a spring to hold a gear collar (14) in place to engage the high speed gear (16). The PTO stub shaft (12) has an extended end with protruding shoulders (30) which serve to capture a snap ring (24) between the stub shaft (12) and an output shaft (20) so that when the stub shaft (12) is moved axially the shoulders (30) will pull the snap ring (24) into a groove (28) on the output shaft (20) which securely fastens the stub shaft (12). A cut-out section (36) on the front end surface of the output shaft (20) is also provided to allow clearance for the tool to squeeze the snap ring tabs during installation and removal.

Abstract: An optical-based sensor (10) for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte using both indicator and reference channels. The sensor has a sensor body (12) with a source of radiation embedded therein (18). A matrix layer is disposed on the surface of the sensor body which layer is permeable to an analyte and comprises fluroescent indicator molecules responsive to the concentration of the analyte. Radiation emitted by the source interacts with indicator membrane (3) indicator molecules (16) proximate the surface of the body. At least one optical characteristic of these indicator molecules varies with analyte concentration. For example, the level of fluorescence of fluorescent indicator molecules or the amount of light absorbed by light-absorbing indicator molecules can vary as a function of analyte concentration. In addition, radiation emitted by the source also interacts with reference membrane indicator molecules proximate the surface of the body. Radiation (e,g., light) emitted or reflected by these indicator molecules enters and is internally reflected in the sensor body. Photosensitive elements within the sensor body generate both indicator channel and reference channel signals to provide an accurate indication of the concentration of the analyte.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control system (1) for a motorised winch (2), preferably for nautical use, with two or more speeds. The motorised winch (2), in particular, comprises a main motion input shaft (10), a drum (20) for winding a line (100) and a plurality of gears (25) operatively arranged between the main shaft (10) and the drum (20) and adapted to define in the winch (2) at least two different gear ratios. Motor means (3) are active on the aforementioned main shaft (10) for transmitting the motion to the winch (2). The control system (1) of the invention comprises detector means (40, 41 ,42, 43, 44) adapted to identify the gear ratio active in the winch (2) and control means (50) active on the motor means (3) to adjust the torque and/or speed delivered by the motor means (3) based upon the detected gear ratio. In particular, the control means (50) act on the motor means (3) to increase the torque and/or speed delivered to the winch (2) when a long gear ratio is active in the winch (for example, in the case of three-speed winches, when the first or second speed is selected), whereas they do not act when a short gear ratio is active in the winch (for example, when the third speed is selected). In this way, the performance of the winch at the longer gear ratios is improved, allowing in particular the winch to bear, at such gear ratios, a traction load on the line greater than that which can be borne, the gear ratio selected being equal, by known winches.

The method for the production of decorative laminate containing gas inclusions, comprises heating a laminated body of two transparent discs and a polymer interlayer film, where the laminated body and the interlayer film consist of a blowing agent. The laminated body is heated over the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent. The blowing agent is applied on the interlayer film and/or the transparent disc and is applied as solid material, in dispersion or in solution on one or both surfaces of the interlayer film and/or the transparent disc. The interlayer film consists of plasticizer-containing polyvinyl acetal. A gaseous product decomposes as blowing agent at 80-180[deg] C. The laminated body is processed at a temperature over the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent under increased pressure to a laminate. The gas obtained from the blowing agent dissolves partially or completely in the interlayer film and disintegrates through subsequent reheating the laminates at reduced pressure over the softening temperature of the interlayer film.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method which can be used for pore size reduction, defect repair and in general for improving of the separation properties of microporous and nanoporous membranes. The present chemical vapor infiltration method can be applied at relatively low temperatures (200-300 °C), where it is feasible to use current available sealing technologies. By using this method a microporous membrane, which contains defects and, therefore, it has a low selectivity, can be modified in a controllable way turn to a purely microporous and/or nanoporous membrane of high selectivity. The microporous and nanoporous membranes without defects and with pore sizes less than 1 nm can find important industrial applications, as it is described in the present patent application. These include many gas separation processes, eg H 2  recovery and gas pollutant cleaning, pervaporation and nanofiltration processes, as well as in membrane reactors for conversion enhancement in thermodynamically limited reactions with simultaneous separation of a reaction product.
