Patent EP-0625434-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PIHLENS ALFRED PERCY RUDOLF
IPC: B62B3/14
Filed: 1994-05-11
Abstract: A caster wheel assembly 1' for a shopping trolley comprises a support member 2' fixed to a trolley chassis, a carrier member 4' freely rotatable about a vertical axis 5' with respect to the support member 2', and a wheel 6' carried by the carrier member 4' so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis 7' offset from the vertical axis 5'. A cam follower 24' in the form of two planet wheels 26' rotatably mounted on a lower portion 30 of the support member 2' engages a cam surface 21' having an undulating profile on the carrier member 4' in order to bias the wheel 6' of the assembly towards a direct forward line. In order to steer the trolley to one side or the other of the direct forward line, a sufficient steering force must be applied to the trolley in order to overcome this biasing action, and this overcomes any tendency of the trolley to move in a direction other than the intended direction of travel.

Abstract: A carbonaceous heat source comprising metal oxides and methods for making such heat source are provided. The heat source has an ignition temperature substantially lower than conventional carbonaceous heat sources, while at the same time produces virtually no carbon monoxide upon combustion. The heat source is prepared by pre-forming the carbon and binder materials into a desired shape, and then treating the shape with a sol containing metal oxide precursors. The metal oxide precursors are deposited in the pre-formed carbon shape. Further treatment converts the deposited metal oxide precursors into metal oxide.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp preheating start-up device to be used in the preheating start-up of fluorescent lamp. It consists of hot bonded temperature sensitive resistance layer (sheet) and voltage sensitive switching resistance layer (sheet), a silver conductive layer is coated between the two layers, and the periphery thereof is sealed with a sealing film. A lead is led out from each of the surface electrodes of said two resistance layers (sheets) of different characteristics, respectively. In operation, it is serially connected in the loop of the filament after the parallel connection of the present device with the resonant capacitor C in the electronic ballast. The device has both the characteristic of temperature resistance and the function of voltage switch. In normal operation of the light tube, the power consumption of the present device is only 0.4 to 5% of that of an ordinary PTC device. In addition, the self-temperature-rise is low and the starting time is appropriate.

Abstract: Rolled materials are joined effectively without causing qualitative defects to occur therein and without employing any large-scale expensive equipment, such as a swing roller during the transfer of the rolled materials, whereby a continuous hot rolling operation can be carried out. Continuous hot rolling method and apparatus for bringing the front end of a following rolled material into abutment with the rear end of a preceding rolled material and welding these abutting ends of each other by applying a laser beam or plasma thereto from above the upper surfaces of the materials while the materials are moved between a roughing mill and a finishing mill. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to weld rolled materials to each other from above the upper surfaces thereof efficiently in a short period of time without stopping the materials and without causing splashes and burrs to occur, and then continuously finish-roll these materials. Since a welder does not interfere with a rolled material transfer table, high-quality strips can be manufactured efficiently on economical equipment.

Abstract: A power plant system (110) produces utility grade electrical AC power from gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon fuels using a fuel cell stack (186) employing ion exchange membranes. The fuel is desulfurized, mixed with water, heated and vaporized before being introduced into a reformer (168). The reformer (168) produces a hydrogen-rich gas (51) which is then directed through a series of heat exchangers (164), shift converters (172) and a selective oxidizer (142). The processed fuel stream is combined in the fuel cell stack (186) with a pressurized oxidant stream to generate DC power. Oxidant pressure is supplied by compressors (130, 134) driven by turbines using heated system exhaust gases. The DC power is converted into utility grade AC power (195) using an inverter (210) augmented by a battery peaking unit (212) for rapid load following. The water generated in the fuel cell stack (186) is recycled and used to cool the fuel cell stack and to humidify the fuel stream and oxidant stream prior to their introduction to the fuel cell stack (186).

Abstract: Procédé de visualisation des capillaires choroïdiens de l'÷il dans une séquence d'images angiographiques au vert d'indocyanine consistant à soustraire chaque image de la séquence angiographique d'une image successive. Dans la pratique, on utilise un rétinographe (10) modifié pour obtenir des images numérisées qui sont soustraites pixel par pixel.
