Patent EP-0379520-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01C19/72
Filed: 1988-08-31
Granted: 1991-11-13
Abstract: Comparé aux gyroscopes à fibre optique de l'art antérieur, cet appareil se caractérise par une stabilité et une reproductibilité améliorées de sa polarisation, et par un taux fortement réduit d'extinction de la polarisation. Il comprend un substrat formé de préférence de verre de silice. Une première fibre optique pourvue d'une paire de coupleurs optiques espacés de couplage à une deuxième et à une troisième fibres est rigidement montée sur le substrat. Des surfaces planes sont formées dans des régions prédéterminées de la gaine des fibres fixées. Les coupleurs optiques, les polariseurs et les autres composants utilisés dans un détecteur de rotation sont agencés sur les surfaces planes de la gaine desdites fibres. Afin d'éliminer les composants indésirables de polarisation linéaire des signaux optiques guidés par les fibres, tout en permettant à un composant voulu de polarisation linéaire de se propager sans atténuation, l'axe de transmission des polariseurs formés sur les fibres est aligné avec un axe de biréfringence de la fibre correspondante. Un enroulement de fibre optique détecteur de la vitesse angulaire guide la lumière dans les deux sens entre la première et la troisième fibres optiques, alors que la première et la deuxième fibres optiques coopèrent avec le deuxième coupleur optique afin d'introduire des signaux optiques se propageant en sens inverse dans l'enroulement détecteur. Les coupleurs couplent également des signaux optiques se propageant en sens inverse afin de produire des signaux d'interférence qui constituent des mesures de la vitesse angulaire.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU88/00418 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 16, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 16, 1990 PCT Filed Oct. 26, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/03715 PCT Pub. Date May 5, 1989.A low pressure distillation apparatus in which evaporation takes place at sub-atmospheric pressures. An evaporation chamber has a feed liquid inlet port, a concentrated liquid outlet port, and a vapor outlet port. The vapor outlet port is in communication with a vapor treating device immersed in distillate in a distillate chamber. The preferred vapor treating device is a rotating impeller pump which reduces the pressure in the evaporation chamber to a working pressure, draws off vapor boiled from the liquid in the evaporation chamber, entrains the vapor in a stream of distillate, and condenses the vapor in the stream of distillate to transfer the latent heat of condensation of the vapor directly to the distillate.

Abstract: A very slim and generally compact card reader for use with a so-called "smart card", i.e. having an integrated circuit connected to external contact pads to enable stored information to be read. A carriage (3) is slidably mounted in a chassis (2) and an abutment (4) supports and guides the card as it is inserted into the reader. Card reading contacts (13a) are supported by a plinth (13b) which is spaced from the card (1) when the carriage is in an initial card receiving position (see Figure 4a). Insertion of a card into the reader causes the carriage to slide along a lazy Z-shaped path (8) generally in the direction of card insertion towards a final card reading position (see Figure 4b) and the carriage thus presses the card against the abutment (4) causing the card to bend so that the contact pads are urged into engagement with the contacts on the plinth. Deflectable fingers (11,21) on the carriage or the chassis grip the card and help to maintain both the card and the carriage in the card reading position.

The standing wing 3 forms a turning wing and the passage wing 2 a turn-and-tilt wing, the turning wing being lockable or fixable, in the closed position, on the upper and on the lower horizontal leg 1a and 1b of the stationary frame 1 at least by means of the upper and lower corners 3b and 3c of its vertical spar 3a located on the opening side, the turn-and-tilt wing being in supporting and abutment engagement, both in its closed position and in its tilt-open position, with the turning wing via a run-on device 13 formed by a run-on piece 16 on one wing 3 and by a run-on block 15 on the other wing 2, and at least the bolt device 9, 10, effective between the lower corner 3c of the turning wing located on the opening side and the lower horizontal leg 1b of the stationary frame 1, being positively blockable against release, by means of a detent member 22 engaging on the bolt device 9, 10, as a result of the supporting and abutment engagement of the run-on block 15 and run-on piece 16 of the run-on device 13. So that the functional elements blocking the bolt device 9, 10 for the understriking turning wing 3, with the turn-and-tilt wing 2 in the tilted position, against an undesirable release from outside have to be employed or subsequently fitted only if the need arises, the detent member 22 consists of an additional or built-in element connectable to the bolt device 9 in the effective region of the run-on device 13. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming fibrous paper or board web on a double wire section of a paper machine or equivalent the said double wire section comprising a first wire loop (10) and a second wire loop (20) in conjuction with it. In the first dewatering zone (12a) of the double wire section where the paths of the both wire loops (10, 20) are substantially linear, the web direction is adjustably deviated towards the second wire loop (20). In the second dewatering zone (12b) located after the first dewatering zone (12a), the web is curvedly directed towards the first wire loop (10) as a curved dewatering zone (12b). In the linear dewatering zone (12a), the second wire loop (20) is loaded towards the first wire loop (10) with wire support members (27, 28, 29), and in the curved dewatering zone (12b), the compression between the wires (10) is effected by adjustably tightening the wires. The present invention also relates to a web forming apparatus.
