Title: Apparatus for guiding a continuously cast metal strand, particularly for soft reduction in a strip casting plant
Inventor: GROTHE HORST
IPC: B22D11/12
Filed: 1991-03-16
Abstract: Hitherto, only one roller carrier, which is connected to the supporting frame, has been used to support the metal strand emerging from the strip casting plant. However, it is a disadvantage here that, if required, the roller carrier can only be adjusted as a whole, i.e. as a complete unit, relative to the strand of cast metal and does not allow any adjustment and/or setting, in particular fine setting, in mutually separate zones relative to the cast strand. According to the invention, in contrast, adjustment and/or setting of the rollers of the roller carrier relative to the cast strand is possible in a simple manner in any desired zone by virtue of the fact that the roller carrier (3) is divided into a plurality of roller-carrying segments (5) which are connected to adjusting devices (6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

Abstract: In the case of a choke coil (1) having limbs (7a, 7b) which are produced from radially layered laminates and carry windings (9a, 9b), in order to improve the guidance of the stray flux at the connecting points between the limbs (7a, 7b) and the yoke (5a, 5b), a radially layered laminate stack (11a to 11d) is arranged at the connecting points. The radial extent of the laminate stacks (11a to 11b) is greater than that of the respective limb (7a, 7b). In a preferred embodiment, the laminate stacks (11a to 11d) are constructed in the form of circular discs and are in each case arranged between the limbs (7a, 7b) and yoke (5a, 5b). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A packaging film (10) is characterized by the inclusion of a layer (14) of a vinylidene chloride copolymer, e.g. VDC-methylacrylate copolymer, between at least two other layers (16, 18) which contain ethylene vinyl acetate, and optionally linear low density polyethylene. The film may be unoriented or molecularly oriented, may be heat set, and if oriented, optionally the film may be cross-linked. A process of making the cross-linked film includes the steps of joining the layers in face-to-face contact e.g. by coextrusion and of cross-linking the film after assembly of the vinylidene chloride copolymer layer into the structure. Cross-linking can be achieved by electron beam irradiation at a level of at least 1.5 megarads. The film can have a further layer or layers e.g. for heat sealing and for improving its abuse resistance, and can be made into a heat shrinkable bag suitable for packaging foodstuffs.

Abstract: In order to initiate position-dependent switching functions during the movement of a numerically controlled system, for example of a robot or of a machine tool, a one-dimensional track parameter (F1) which is related to the actual-value is derived from a movement function (FB(t)). In consequence, a switching process, for example the switching-on of a tool for welding or bonding, can be initiated with high accuracy at the actual position of the tool.

Abstract: Printing dot density detection section (12) detects in advance the printing dot densities based on the printing data supplied to printing head (3), and these detected printing dot densities are averaged within a prescribed time frame by averaging section (13). In other words, a sudden change in printing dot density is captured as a gradual change across the range from preceding printing location to the subsequent printing location. Printing speed control section (14) selects the printing speed according to this averaged printing dot density and controls the speed of spacing motor (5) to achieve the selected speed.

Abstract: Ultra-violet fluorescent materials are added to a manufacturing base material such as rubber or polymer materials to enable them and products made from them to be identified non-destructively by exposure to ultra-violet radiation. Furthermore, different ultra-violet fluorescent materials can be used in different manufacturing base materials so as to distinguish each by a characteristic colour of fluorescence. The invention is of special benefit with carbon black filled rubber or polymer materials with which coloured dyes cannot be used.

Abstract: A blowout preventer is provided with an improved sealing assembly for sealing engagement with a pipe extending through the blowout preventer into a well bore. The sealing assembly includes an elastomeric seal and a plurality of circumferentially spaced metal inserts within the seal for substantially minimizing or preventing extrusion of the seal under high fluid pressure. The BOP be reliably used for sealing engagement with pipes of varying diameters. Each insert has a substantially I-shaped configuration with an upper flange, a lower flange, and a rib fixedly interconnecting the flanges. A slot is provided within at least one of the flanges and forms a cavity for receiving a male interconnecting member extending circumferentially from an adjacent one of the inserts, such that the circumferentially spaced inserts are interconnected to minimize extrusion gaps between the inserts and to better enable the sealing to form a positive seal with the pipe.

Abstract: Anti-icing compositions, such as used on aircraft wing surfaces, may be thickened using a blend of a polyacrylic acid and a copolymer of polyacrylic acid with a vinyl monomer, where the copolymer acts as a thickener modifier. The two polymers form a thickener blend. The polyacrylic acid may have a weight average molecular weight of from about 2,500,000 to about 3,500,000 and be slightly crosslinked with a diene monomer. The compositions also contain an alkylene glycol component, such as propylene glycol, diethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. These compositions retain a high viscosity, even when diluted with water, and exhibit a highly pseudo plastic rheology indicating desirable flow off characteristics. A neutralizing agent to neutralize at least partially the carboxylic acid groups of the thickening blend is also preferably included.

Abstract: A fuel injection system having a novel electromagnetic actuated fuel pump in which four pumping elements, equally-spaced around a camshaft are mounted such that a pair of opposed pumping elements alternate to deliver pressure to a high pressure common rail with a second pair of the pumping pair of pumping elements. In one embodiment of the invention, the pumping process is mechanically actuated, and in another is electronically actuated. The high pressure common rail is adapted to reduce surges in the fuel pressure from the pump by using central and side chambers connected with cross-drilled orifices. The common rail has a relief valve for safety protection not to allow the pressure in the rail to exceed the maximum preset pressure. The electromagnetic injector has a pressure balanced control valve to control fuel flow to the nozzle and has a pressure assistance mechanism at the end of injection to obtain a sharp end of injection. Also, at the beginning of the next injection, the needle opening can be slowed down to meet the engine requirements.
