Abstract: A tubing end-piece interconnects a free end of a piece of tubing and a tubing connector or fitting so that a fluid can flow between the tubing and the fitting or connector. The tubing end-piece includes a body member extending along a longitudinal axis with a bore extending longitudinally therethrough. The body member has an elongated body portion, a doughnut-shaped head portion and a frustoconically-shaped tail portion. The body portion has an outer body surface configured in a shape of a frustum that tapers from a first end and towards a second end. The doughnut-shaped head portion is connected to the first end of said body portion and extends radially outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis to form in cross-section an outer curved surface commencing from the first end and terminating in an outer peripheral edge which defines a first opening into the bore. A frustoconically-shaped tail portion is connected to the second end of the body portion and tapers from the second end and towards a second opening into the bore. The body member has an inner first surface and an inner second surface defining the bore and has a plurality of splines which are spaced apart from one another and extend longitudinally along and outwardly from the outer body surface. The present invention also includes a connector adapted to interconnect a pair of tubing end-pieces so that the fluid can flow between and through the respective pieces of tubing and the pair of tubing connectors, and present a connection which resists snagging when trailed from a portable or fixed source of oxygen gas to an ambulatory patient.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil qui servent à produire des films optiques sur des substrats ayant des densités de tassement extrêmement élevées et qui sont de la même qualité que les films produits par pulvérisation au canon à ions, utilisant une chambre sous vide avec un système de pulvérisation au magnétron tradionnel et une pompe à vide à vitesse exceptionnellement élevée. La basse pression du gaz inerte créé par cette pompe à vitesse élevée est comprise entre 5 x 10-5 Torr et 2,0 x 10-4 Torr et le système de pulvérisation au magnétron est placé à au moins 20 pouces de ces substrats. Un collecteur de gaz placé autour du magnétron et du matériau cible confinent le gaz de travail inerte à proximité du magnétron et, à mesure que le gaz se diffuse et se dilate dans la chambre, la pompe à vide haute vitesse retire le gaz dilaté de la chambre à vitesse élevée. Un canon ionique dirige le gaz réactif ionisé en direction des substrats, ce qui a pour effet d'améliorer la stoechiométrie du film et de réduire le gaz réactif au niveau du magnétron. Des unités à magnétrons multiples, des matériaux cibles multiples et des matériaux cibles composés peuvent être utilisés.

Abstract: The procedure consists of carrying out a selective breakdown of the grain products by passing them between milling rollers and a thrust surface and separating the endosperm and husks. This is followed by milling of the remaining grains by contact loads between milling rollers (4) and a rotor (3), with the loads reducing between the inlet and outlet. The contact loads are produced by moving the rollers over a curved thrust surface, and are regulated by varying the mass of the rollers or their linear speed relative to the thrust surface, or by varying the ratio between the roller and thrust surface radii. The rollers are set with a gradually reducing clearance between the inlet and outlet.

Title: Detecting contraband by employing interactive multiprobe tomography
Inventor: KRUG KRISTOPH D
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 1996-09-24
Abstract: An inspection system for detecting a specific material of interest in packages includes a multi-view X-ray inspection probe (30) and one or more material sensitive probes. The multi-view X-ray inspection probe employs X-rays transmitted through or scattered from an examined item (14A; 14B) to identify a suspicious region (155) inside the item. An interface (110) is used to receive from the X-ray inspection probe X-ray data providing spatial information about the suspicious region and to provide this information to a selected material sensitive probe (140, 275). The material sensitive probe then acquires material specific information about the previously identified suspicious region and provides it to a computer to identify presence of the specific material in the suspicious region. The material sensitive probe may be a directional probe such as a coherent scatter probe, or a non-directional probe such as a Compton scatter probe or an NQR probe.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for the indirect recognition of the quantity and type of fabric introduced in a laundry washing machine. Said method is based on the physical capacity of fabrics to absorb water inside a laundry washer, according to a way which depends upon their type and quantity of fiber. Such a method provides the execution of three water inlet phases while the drum is at standstill (T1,T3,T5) being intercaled with two phases (T2,T4) during which the drum is rotated to allow water absorption by the fabric. The second (T3) and third (T5) water inlet phases are switched in at the end of two different time intervals (T2,T4) starting from the beginning of the respective previous water absorption phases and are stopped when the water level in the drum reaches a preset working level. The length of time of the second (T3) and third (T5) water inlet phases allows the control system to identify the type and quantity of fabric being present within the machine.

 o C. The DSC curve also provides a differential curve
showing a first maximum (Max1) on a lowest temperature
side at a temperature (T1) of 50 - 65  o C, showing a
second maximum (Max2) on a next lowest temperature
side at a temperature (T2) of 65 - 85  o C, and showing
a minimum (Min1) on a highest temperature side at a
temperature (T3) of at least 95  o C. Because of the
DSC heat-absorption characteristics, the toner

Abstract: The device comprises two small diameter cables (24,26), each having a first end fixed to the upper end (26) of the machine (10). The two fixing points for the cables are distinct. A tensioner maintains the cables under tension and a guide (44,46) above ground level maintains a fixed position of the zone of each cable as the machine descends, during measurement. The guide has two fixed reference points in spatial relationship with the cable fixing points when in the horizontal plane. A device (32) measures along horizontal and orthogonal directions. The inclination angle of a part of each cable extends between the fixing points and the guide. A device (30) measures the length of the cable parts as the machine descends. A device (50) fixed to the machine measures the inclination angles of the longitudinal axis of horizontal and orthogonal directions. A processor calculates the orthogonal displacement of the two cable fixing points from the cable length and angle measurements. It calculates the displacement of the distinct fixed points from these displacement calculations and the measurements of the two machine vertical axis angles.
