Abstract: This invention relates to a temperature measuring apparatus which utilizes photoelasticity of a transparent material. The present invention uses, as a temperature-sensitive element, a temperature-stress convertor comprising a photoelastic element and a force application means which is disposed in close contact with the photoelastic element to cause it to gen­erate stress with anisotropy in proportion to an ambient temperature using the difference in thermal expansion between the force application means and the photoelastic element. There is disposed a means for passing linear polarized light through the photoelastic element of the temperature-stress convertor and for detecting the phase difference between a po­larized wave component of the transmitted light in one stress direction of the photoelastic element and a polarized wave component in a direction crossing the former at right angles. The detected phase difference is converted into a temperature and displayed on a display.   
     Abstract: 
     A temperature measuring device intended to use the photoelastic effect of a transparent element. The present invention employs as the temperature sensing element a thermal expansion photoelastic cell comprising a photoelastic element and a stress generating means which are closely contacted each other for yielding stress of anisotropy in the photoelastic element, which changes in response to changing ambient temperature, because the stress generating means is quite remarkably different in thermal expansion coefficient from the photoelastic element. A means is further provided to detect phase difference between two orthogonal light components passed through the photoelastic element which are one polarized component in a stress direction and the other component polarized in a direction perpen­dicular to the above stress direction when linearly polarized light is passed through the photoelastic element of the thermal expansion photoelastic cell. The detected phase difference is converted into a temperature, which is displayed on a display means.

Abstract: The method for the production and processing of multi-component reactive polymer mixtures provides for the liquid mixture to be cooled to a temperature which permits essentially dry further processing. This takes place by placing the cooled reactive polymer mixture in the form of a solid body (12) from which material (24) is eroded by rubbing on a surface (20) to be coated. The rubbed-away material melts onto the surface to be coated and can then harden in a brief time. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A welder apparatus has many welder assemblies. Each of welder assemblies is formed of weld control transformer WCT (10) to which a welding gun is attached, and weld control unit WCU (17) integrally but detachab­ly connected to the WCT. The feature of the detachable connection between the WCT and the WCU provides a com­pact size for each of WCT and WCU. This feature also permits a standardized connection dimension and standar­dized connection interface between the WCT and the WCU for all welder assemblies. These standardized connec­tion dimension and interface allow an optional com­bination of any of WCT's and any of WCU's, and plural assemblies of this combination can be managed by single host computer, or machine control interface MCI (42). Further, no connection cables are required between the WCT and the WCU for all welder assemblies.

Abstract: Les bougies d'allumage, notamment celles utilisées dans des moteurs à régime élevé à haute compression, sont soumises à une plage de conditions de pression et de température extrêmes. Il serait donc souhaitable qu'une bougie d'allumage résiste mieux à ces conditions difficiles. Cette invention concerne une bougie d'allumage (10) comportant un moyen de transfert thermique dynamique tel qu'un tube thermique (62) ou condenseur de reflux incorporé dans l'ensemble (64) à conducteur central ou bien dans l'alésage central (46) de l'isolateur. Le moyen de transfert thermique est non thermoconductuer au-dessous d'une température de travail de sorte que l'extrémité d'allumage de la bougie d'allumage retient de la chaleur pour brûler les dépôts d'encrassement. Au-dessus de la plage de températures de travail, un milieu pouvant être vaporisé se trouvant dans le moyen de transfert thermique est vaporisé de sorte que son changement d'état refroidisse l'extrémité d'allumage. Le moyen de transfert thermique se trouvant dans l'isolateur (28) régule automatiquement la plage d'activité thermique de la bougie d'allumage.

Abstract: A novel multistep flash analog to digital converter is taught, including a voltage estimator which quickly provides a rough estimate of the analog input signal. This rough estimate is used to select appropriate reference voltage tap points for use in the first flash conversion. This first flash conversion, together with the voltage estimate, provides the most significant bits of the digital output word. A digital to analog converter is used to provide a residual voltage which is then converted by a second operation of the flash converter, thereby providing the least significant bits of the digital output word. In one embodiment, the voltage estimate is performed at the same time that the analog input signal is sampled by the flash converter in preparation for the first flash conversion. Therefore, speed of operation is not degraded by the addition of the voltage estimator.

Abstract: An alignment apparatus is disclosed for aligning weighed batches of elongated objects, such as French-fried potato strips. The batch of objects is weighed in a scale (14) and discharged onto a moving conveyor belt (10) which separates the objects (18) and projects such objects from the conveyor into a vibrated alignment container including a first container means (32) having a curved deflector wall (30) and a second container means (33) with a gated discharge outlet (48). The objects impact a vertically-curved rear deflector wall of the first alignment container means in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto and may fall into contact with a straight front deflector wall so that they are aligned substantially parallel to such rear wall when they fall into the supply inlet of a second container means. The second container means is a rectangular tube having a gate at its discharge outlet which is normally closed. The objects are further aligned and compacted in the container tube and are discharged by opening the gate as a batch of aligned objects of small size and predetermined weight into a packaging machine (50) which packages the weighed batch of aligned objects.
