Abstract: Un système aseptique de traitement des aliments (10) comprend un appareil de mesure de la température non invasif, capable de traiter des aliments particulaires faiblement acides. On insère une particule magnétique (25) dans une particule alimentaire du système aseptique et on la soumet à un chauffage correspondant à une zone froide de l'aliment traité. Après chauffage, on fait passer la particule (25) dans un ou plusieurs capteurs magnétiques (24) disposés à proximité du trajet du passage de l'aliment. La particule (25) magnétise proportionnellement à sa susceptibilité magnétique lorsqu'elle traverse des aimants (36) incorporés dans les capteurs (24). On choisit une particule (25) qui est paramagnétique dans la plage de température du traitement et qui produit, dans une bobine (38) du capteur (24), une magnétisation proportionnelle à la susceptibilité magnétique.

Title: Process and device for evaporating liquids, in particular formic acid
Inventor: BECKER BRUNO
IPC: A01M1/20
Filed: 1997-03-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a process and device for evaporating liquids, in particular formic acid for combating varroa mites in bee hives. The device reduces the various environmental influences on evaporation characteristics, extends the seasonal range and slows down the evaporation rate in the initial phase. It comprises a storage chamber (1) containing evaporation liquid (10) and a dispensing chamber (4). Both chambers (1, 4) are separated by a central partition (2) with a slit-shaped through-aperture (3) at the bottom. Within the dispensing chamber (4) a constant liquid level (8) is formed and is independent of the liquid level (7) in the storage chamber (1). Two evaporating elements (13, 11) are provided in the dispensing chamber (4), the second (11) of these elements having a rectangular recess (20). The longer limb of the second evaporating element (11) which projects over a transverse wall (6) is separated from a third evaporating element (16) by spacer elements (17) and a constant liquid flow is thereby created within the evaporating element (11).

Abstract: A scalable architecture is disclosed for delivery of real-time information over a communications network. Embedded into the architecture is a control mechanism (10) that provides for the management and administration (60) of users (40) who are to receive the real-time information. Preferably, there are multiple channels of information available simultaneously to be delivered to users, each channel consisting of an independent stream of information. A user (40) chooses to tune in or tune out a particular channel, but does not choose the time at which the channel distributes its information. Advantageously, interactive (two-way) information can be incorporated into the system, multiple streams of information can be integrated for delivery to a user (40), and certain portions of the information being delivered can be tailored to the individual user (40).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un carénage (24) pouvant être fixé sous un bord longitudinal, externe, inférieur (30) d'une remorque (10). Ce carénage comporte des sections avant et arrière s'étendant longitudinalement (28, 26). La section arrière peut être déplacée longitudinalement pour ajuster son bord arrière (44) dans une position sélectionnée, à l'avant de l'ensemble roues (22) de la remorque. Cet ajustement se fait automatiquement si la section arrière est couplée à la structure de support (38) de l'ensemble roues de la remorque et peut se déplacer longitudinalement en même temps que celle-ci, ce qui maintient le bord arrière du carénage dans la position sélectionnée chaque fois que l'ensemble roues est réglé longitudinalement par rapport à la remorque. Un mécanisme d'articulation (32), couplé entre la remorque et le carénage, permet un déplacement pivotant de chaque section du carénage entre des positions abaissées et surélevées. La position abaissée est utilisée dans le cas de remorquages sur longues distances afin de faire des économies de carburant, et la position surélevée est utilisée dans les cas où il faut manoeuvrer la remorque sur des rampes d'accès, des terrains accidentés, etc., qui pourraient faire obstacle au passage du carénage ou que la partie inférieure du carénage pourrait heurter.

Abstract: The machine comprises a main carousel (G1) with a
horizontal axis, having seats (S) which are angularly
equidistant and open outwards and provided at the front
with a gripper (45) and at the rear with a folding device
(55). Each seat passes first of all with the gripper open
opposite means (59-65) which supply the gripper itself
with a packaging sheet (F') which is arranged on the seat
itself which then co-operates with a first auxiliary
carousel (G2) which inserts a roll into each seat,
oriented with its axis parallel to that of the carousel,
while the roll itself is partially wrapped with the
packaging sheet retained there by the said closed gripper.
In succession the said rear folding device intervenes
and the said gripper opens and means intervene in
order to fold the front edge of the sheet onto the rear
edge, while the folding device returns into the rest
position and the said edges are fixed together by a heat-sealing
carousel (G3). The seats then pass opposite the
folding devices (121-140) which fold and arrange on one
another several end portions of the tubular sheet and
then the packaged roll is unloaded by a second auxiliary
carousel (G2') which transfers it to means (141-157) for
heat-sealing the said end folds of the package.

Abstract: The magnetic properties of rare earth magnet are
improved by means of forming a novel structure of the
cast alloy used for the production of a rare earth
magnet, which contains from 27 to 34% by weight of at
least one rare earth element (R) including yttrium, from
0.7 to 1.4% by weight of boron, and the balance being
essentially iron and, occasionally any other transition
element, and comprises an R 2 T 14 B phase, an R-rich phase
and optionally at least one ternary phase except for the
R 2 T 14 B phase and the R-rich phase. The novel structure
is that the average grain size of the R 2 T 14 B phases
along the short axes of the columnar grains is from 10
to 100 µm, the R-rich phase is lamellar and partially
granular is crystallized on a boundary and inside the
R 2 T 14 B phase, and, further, the average spacing between
the adjacent R-rich phases is from 3 to 15 µm. The
average grain size of the R 2 T 14 B phase is from 4.4 to
7.0 times of the average spacing between the adjacent R-rich
phase lamellars. 
     The novel structure can be formed by means of
feeding alloy melt onto a rotary casting roll, cooling
in a temperature range of from melting point to 1000°C
at a cooling rate of 300°C per second or more, and
further cooling in a temperature range of from 800 to
600°C at a cooling rate of 1°C/second or less.

Abstract: The yarn guide system at a bobbin winder, to produce cross wound bobbins, has yarn guide wings (10,11) with separate drives. The drives are controlled so that the position of the yarn transfer points (A,B;A',B') can be adjusted according to the required movement stroke length (H,H'). The drives for the two yarn guide wings (10,11) are connected to a common control. The curve disk (12) is adjusted by a setting drive, which is linked to the control of the yarn guide wing drives. To shorten the movement stroke length (H,H'), the yarn guide wings (10,11) are decelerated during a working stroke, and accelerated during the idle stroke. The reduction and increase in the yarn guide wing speed is each during only a short phase, at the start and end of each working or idle stroke. During the remainder of the stroke movement, the yarn guide wings are powered according to the bobbin rotation. To produce a wound bobbin with angled end sides, the stroke length (H,H') is reduced continuously, with the required yarn wing guide (10,11) speeds stored in the control memory. The bobbin shaft has a separate drive, connected to the control for the yarn guide wing motors. The drive control sets the reciprocating movements of the yarn according to the bobbin rotation. The parameters for the different yarn windings are stored in the control memory as tables.
