Abstract: L'invention concerne un laminoir (1) comprenant plusieurs cages de laminoir (Fi) et des plaques de support (7) situées sur le côté opérateur (BS) de la cage (Fi) et pouvant être déplacées de manière transversale à l'axe du cylindre. Lesdites plaques de support sont équipées de façon à recevoir des ensembles de cylindres de travail (14) et sont disposées de manière adjacente au sol de l'usine (9). Ledit laminoir comprend également des orifices (8) situés sur le côté opérateur (BS) en amont des cages (Fi), le fond de ces orifices étant conçu pour déployer les ensembles de cylindres de support (12). L'objectif de l'invention est de réduire le temps nécessaire au changement des cylindres. A cet effet, les plaques de support (7) sont disposées dans une ligne (6) de plaques de support, directement adjacente aux cages de laminoir (Fi) et qui recouvrent lesdits orifices (8), les plaques de support (7) sont reliées les unes aux autres, de manière à pouvoir se détacher, et lors de l'échange des ensembles de cylindres de support (12), la ligne (6) de plaques de support peut être déplacée hors de la zone de la cage (5) de manière transversale à l'axe du cylindre le long de la ligne d'orifices, en sous-groupes (17) de plaques de support interconnectées ou dans leur totalité (6'), ce qui permet d'ouvrir au moins un orifice et éventuellement tous les orifices (8).

Abstract: This invention provides a superconducting magnet
apparatus capable of preventing or restraining the heat
invading into the apparatus and reducing the refrigeration load
of an external refrigerator, at the time of changeover of a
switch in transiting to a persistent current mode, and capable
of quick changeover operation. In the superconducting magnet
apparatus of the present invention (1), in transiting to a
persistent current mode, a thermal superconducting switch (41)
placed in a low-temperature domain and a mechanical switch
(42) placed in a mid-temperature domain are turned on. Since
the mechanical switch (42) is placed in the mid-temperature
domain, even if a heat load is generated through the drive
mechanism (60), it is not necessary to cool the mechanical
switch to an extremely low temperature. In short, heat
generated at the contact point of the mechanical switch (42)
and heat invasion through the drive mechanism (60) are applied
not to the low-temperature domain, but to the mid-temperature
domain, so that an external refrigerator can easily absorb the
heat load and the capacity of the refrigerator can be reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods to quantify the volume of urine in a human bladder with a limited number of acoustic beams is disclosed. In a first version the apparatus is composed of a transducers assembly that transmits a plurality of narrow ultrasound beams in different directions towards the bladder and receives the returning ultrasound signals; a receiver detector for processing the returned signals; an analog-to-digital converter; a memory to store the digitized data and a volume display allowing to define the optimal position of the transducer assembly. The apparatus also includes a signal processing software that automatically determines the bladder Depth D and Height H and computes the volume of urine using an empirical formula corrected by specific, empirically measured, filling dependant correction factors. In a second version a single wide angle ultrasound beam transducer transmitting ultrasound signals at fundamental frequency is used to quantify the urine volume. Return signals originating from a depth beyond the usual position of the posterior wall depth of a filled bladder are analyzed for presence of higher harmonic signals which in turn are related to presence or absence of urine. Both methods or a combination thereof can be used as a simple warning device for presence of residual urine after voiding or indicate the presence of a critical bladder urine filling level.

Abstract: A laser beam L from a laser 2 is introduced from an introducing surface into a transparent substrate 1 by using mirrors 31 and 32. The laser beam introduced through the transparent substrate 1 repeats a total reflection on the surfaces (main surfaces and end surfaces) of the transparent substrate 1 and enters a state in which the laser beam is almost confined in the substrate 1. When an ununiform portion such as a scratch exists on the surface of the transparent substrate 1, however, total reflecting conditions are not satisfied and the light leaks out of the ununiform portion. The leaked light is formed as an image on a CCD 6 by a lens system 7 and an image process is executed by an image processing apparatus 12. In a detected image, the ununiform portion in which the scratch or the like exists is brightly seen in a linear or a dot form in a black background, so that the ununiform portion such as a very fine scratch can be detected.

Title: Method for detecting structure-borne noise events in a roller bearing
Inventor: PECHER ALFRED
IPC: G01M13/04
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting structure-borne noise events in a roller bearing, wherein a measuring signal M of a pressure or dilatation sensor arranged on a roller bearing, is fed to a frequency filter for filtering out undesired signal parts. The aim of the invention is to determine structure-borne noise waves or structure-borne noise events by means of an evaluation device (9), which requires a small amount of memory space and has a reduced calculating capacity, and also to detect visible information on the actual presence of damage to the bearing in a efficient and rapid manner. As a result, a first variance value is calculated from digital values of the frequency filter output signal and at least one second variance value is calculated from other digital values of the frequency filter output signal and the weighted arithmetic average of said at least two variance values (new variance, old variance) is calculated with the aid of a retrocursive calculation of said variance value. A surpassing of the weighted arithmetic variance average value (V), exceeds a pre-selected variance threshold value (VSw), it is subsequently evaluated as a structure-borne noise event provoked by mechanical damage to the roller bearing.

Abstract: When spherical calcium carbonate is produced by
blowing a carbon dioxide gas or a carbon dioxide-containing
gas into an aqueous suspension containing calcium hydroxide
to react them, after start of the reaction, an aqueous
solution or suspension of a water-soluble phosphoric acid
compound or a water-soluble salt thereof is added to the
reaction mixture when carbonation ratio reaches 2 to 10%,
and the reaction is further allowed to continue at a low
gas blowing rate of 1.0 NL/minute or lower (step (a)).
Subsequently, an aqueous suspension containing calcium
hydroxide and an aqueous solution or suspension of a water-soluble
phosphoric acid compound or a water-soluble salt
thereof are added to the reaction mixture, and a carbon
dioxide gas or a carbon dioxide-containing gas is
introduced to allow to react and thereby produce spherical
calcium carbonate having a mean particle diameter of 10 µm
or larger. This production method is performed under high
velocity revolution from the start of the reaction to the
end of the step (a). This method provides calcite type
spherical calcium carbonate showing high brightness and
small friction coefficient, and having a shape
comparatively close to a true sphere and a mean particle
diameter of 10 µm or larger.
