Patent EP-0738732-A3 (EP)
IPC: C08G77/38
Filed: 1996-04-12
Abstract: Cyclic polysiloxanes are produced by continuously 
passing a feed comprising linear polysiloxanes through a 
reactor containing a solid acidic catalyst at a pressure 
greater than one atmosphere under an inert atmosphere to 
produce a mixture comprising volatile cyclic polysiloxanes, 
nonvolatile reaction products, and unreacted linear 
polysiloxanes. The volatile products can then be recovered, 
and the nonvolatile reaction products and unreacted linear 
polysiloxanes can be added to the linear polysiloxane feed 
to form a recycle stream that is passed back through the 
reactor. Recycling increases the yield of the desired 
cyclic species.

Abstract: In order to perform reliable transmission and to reduce
the fluid pressure loss a pressure regulating
cam mechanism is omitted and a mechanical actuator is employed. 
     When relative rotation occurs between a
vane 63 and a case member 61 on the basis of the action
and reaction by fluid pressure acting on belt clamping
means 57, drive force transmitting means 64, 68 transmit
torque from the vane 63 to a sun gear 33s 2  of a primary-side
planetary gear set 33 and torque from the case member 61
to a sun gear 36s 2  of a secondary-side planetary gear set
36. The torques acting on the sun gears produce relative
rotation between first and second ring gears 33r 1 , 33r 2 ,
36r 1 , 36r 2 . Thereby, the male screw parts 32a, 35a and
female screw parts 32b, 35b of ball screws 32, 35
cooperatively connected to the corresponding ring gears
rotate relatively, to convert the torques into axial forces
which act on a primary pulley 9 and a secondary pulley 10
as belt clamping forces.

Abstract: Method of detecting yarn unevenness appearing as periodic
variations of a spun yarn. First, plural yarn samples are taken.
Then, k distinct spectrograms are obtained according to the number of
the samples. These k spectrograms are averaged to create an overall
spectrogram. The heights of adjacent channels in the overall
spectrogram are averaged to create a reference spectrogram. Either the
overall spectrogram or the distinct spectrograms are compared with the
reference spectrogram to find those portions of the channels that exceed
the reference spectrograms in height. These exceeding portions are
displayed. Therefore, realistic defective added nonuniformities
contained in the spun yarn can be easily detected.

Abstract: A rack for supporting small articles or aligning wires. The rack may either be hung on a
vertical surface or seated on a horizontal surface. The rack includes an elongated housing with
an elongated entrance slot formed in its front wall. A multiplicity of retainer loops are
supported side-by-side on the elongated housing with their bight portions in front of the housing
to receive and support the small articles and to align the wires. The retainer loops are formed
with tails which hold them in the elongated housing and have slots which fit over a rib in the
housing to prevent twisting of the loops. The end of the rib may be enlarged to be received in
complementary shaped slots in the loops to increase pull out resistance of the retainer loops.
When small articles or wires are inserted between pairs of retainer loops, the tails of the loops
will slide along the rib to accommodate articles of varying cross sections while maintaining
essentially uniform pressure against the articles being held. The rack is formed so that it may be
supported by fasteners, suction cups or adhesive, including stick wax blocks of adhesive.

Abstract: A method for measuring deformations on plant components provides for
the application of a first periodic structure on a component (2) and for the
comparison at a distance in time of said first periodic structure on the
component with a second periodic reference structure in order to detect the
presence of moiré fringes of interference that are produced as a consequence
of a dimensional variation of the periodic structure on the component
associated to a deformation of the component. The method is characterised
in that said first periodic structure is applied on the plant component directly
in field, and includes the following phases: buffing of a portion (1) of
surface of the component (2), on which the first periodic structure must be
applied, in order to remove superficial layers of oxides and to obtain a
prescribed degree of roughness; electro-deposition on said buffed portion of
surface (1) of a protective coating against oxidation comprising a layer of
nickel and a layer of rhodium; deposition on said portion of surface (1)
covered with the protective coating of a layer of photo-sensitive resins;
exposure of said layer of photo-sensitive resins to two interfering beams of
monochromatic light that generate on its surface a grid of fringes of
interference having a first pitch (P) with a prescribed value; development of
the photo-sensitive resins layer for the selective removal of the same in a
way as to obtain a periodic structure having said first pitch (P) and
comprising a plurality of photo-sensitive resins bands interspaced with
channels in correspondence of which the protective coating is left
uncovered; electro-deposition of nickel bands (24) in said channels between
the bands of photo-sensitive resins; removal of said photo-sensitive resins
bands in such a way as to obtain a grid having said first pitch (P) made of a
plurality of nickel bands (24) embossed on said portion of surface covered 
by the protective coating. All aforementioned phases are performed on the
component directly in field.

Abstract: A gas spring comprising a cylindrical body (10) in which a main
piston (26) is slidable and carries a piston rod (24) extending
in sealed manner outwardly of the cylinder. The main piston (26)
includes a bore (50) connecting with a labyrinthine passageway
(52). The interior of the cylinder contains a fluid comprising
gas under pressure and (optionally) some oil (76). The gas urges
the piston rod (24) outwardly of the cylinder. During the
corresponding travel of the piston (26), the fluid transfers from
one side of the piston (26) to the other in a controlled manner
through the passageway (50,52) to allow relatively rapid travel.
However, when the main piston (26) comes into contact with a
second piston (70), freely slidable on the piston rod (24) and
biassed towards the main piston by a compression spring (72),
this contact closes off the end of the fluid passageway (50), and
fluid can now only transfer through the main piston by pasing
through a narrow radial channel (64), thus reducing the speed of
outward travel of the piston rod. During this further outward
travel, the main piston (26) drives the second piston (70)
towards an abutment (22) against the force of the spring (72).

The line pressure regulated by the regulator valve 22 is supplied to the control valve 24 DR  of the
drive pulley 5 and to the control valve 24 DN  of the driven pulley 7. These control valves regulate
the line pressure according to the PB pressure and the PC pressure output from the solenoid
valves SOL-B, SOL-C, respectively, and produce the drive pulley pressure P DR  and the driven
pulley pressure P DN . When the PB pressure and the PC pressure are both zero, and P DR  = P DN ,
the control apparatus maintains the same gear ratio. When the PB pressure is increased from
zero while keeping the PC pressure at zero, i.e. P DR  > P DN , the gear ratio changes toward the
high-speed overdrive. When the PC pressure is increased from zero while holding the PB
pressure at zero, i.e. P DR  < P DN , the gear ratio changes toward the low-speed gear.

Abstract: An electron beam tends to slope downwardly as it is
deflected horizontally to form a raster in a video display
apparatus. The sloping of the beam can cause geometric errors in
the raster, for example orthogonality and parallelogram errors. A
raster correction circuit (100) substantially offsets the downward
slope of the electron beam by modulating a vertical deflection
current (I V ) with an induced horizontal-rate raster correction
current (I CORR ), thereby substantially eliminating orthogonality
and parallelogram errors in the raster. In respective
embodiments of an inventive arrangement taught herein, the
horizontal-rate raster correction current (I CORR ) is induced in the
vertical deflection coils (L V1 , L V2 ) by magnetically coupling a
filament pulse waveform (11), a horizontal deflection voltage
waveform, or a horizontal deflection current into the vertical
deflection coils (L V1 , L V2 ).
