Title: Code setting apparatus in a conveyor system
IPC: B65G43/08
Filed: 1981-08-28
Abstract: A conveyor means (2) comprises control markers (28, 30, 32) on its wall (20) which are movable into a plurality of positions in the direction of travel of the conveyor means and can be set up in the form of a code. A reference marker (34) is also provided on the wall (20). Beside the track (6) for the conveyor means (2) there are fixedly mounted stops (36, 38, 40) which project into the line of movement of the control markers (28, 30, 32). A scanning apparatus (44) is also provided, which scans the reference marker (34) and, when the selected code is attained by the control markers (28, 30, 32), triggers the withdrawal of the stop (36, 38, 40) set up. The code setting apparatus is simplified by the fact that each individual control marker (28, 30, 32) has a single retractable stop (36, 38, 40) associated with it. The scanning apparatus (44) and the reference marker (34) determine the particular position of the stop (36, 38, 40) with regard to the conveyor means (2) travelling past, and the corresponding position of the control marker (28, 30, 32) on the conveyor means (2) respectively. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2099548-A (GB)
Title: Turbine Rotors
IPC: F16D1/08
Filed: 1982-05-19
Abstract: Turbine rotors may suffer stress corrosion cracking especially at stress- concentrating features, e.g. keyways in disc bores. A rotor in which stress concentration is reduced, has a shaft 112 and discs 114. Sleeves 128 are a shrink fit on the shaft 112 and are keyed thereto by keys 126 accommodated in keyways 122 and 134. Sleeves 128 each have a slot 132 which accommodates a dog 130 which is integral with its disc 114. The discs 114 are a shrink fit on the sleeves 128. The dogs 130 prevent rotation of the discs 114 relative to the sleeves 128, and to the shaft 112, should any disc 114 become loose on its sleeve 128 under abnormal operating conditions. This construction avoids using high stress concentration factor (SCF) keyways in disc bores, the dogs have a lower SCF. Stresses in the sleeves 128 are low or compressive so that the presence of the keyways 134 is immaterial. The rotor can be either a repaired rotor or a new rotor. <IMAGE>

Title: Neutron and/or gamma radiation detecting system
Inventor: CERFF KARLHEINZ
IPC: G01T1/202
Filed: 1984-09-14
Abstract: In a neutron and/or gamma radiation detection system, a large reception surface 2 for the radiation to be detected is formed on a body of scintillation material 1 which is adapted to convert neutron or gamma radiation into light energy. A large number of fiber light conductors 6 is embedded in the body of scintillation material such that the fibers extend essentially parallel and fully across the reception surface of the body of scintillation material. The light energy, upon propagation along the fiber light conductors, is coupled into the conductors along the surface of the fibers, which fibers are unisotropic. This arrangement permits the use of unisotropic light conductor systems which, in contrast to optically isotropic systems, provide for a separation of light collecting and light transmitting functions which results in a substantial reduction of light absorption losses during light transmission so that most of the light energy coupled into the fiber light conductors reaches the optoelectronic amplifier coupled to the end of the light conductors. <IMAGE>

IPC: C08J7/048
Filed: 1985-05-10
Abstract: A bottle of a thermoplastics polymer material, eg polyropylene, which is naturally translucent for e.g. tomato ketchup is externally coated with a polymeric coating material such as an acrylic or a polyurethene, the coating counteracting the effect of the translucent bottle wall and making it more transparent and so improving the visual appearance of the product whilst also giving the bottle a high gloss finish. Prior to coating the container, the surface is preferably heated by flame or corona discharge to render it receptive to the coating which may be acrylic, vinylidene chloride copolymer, epoxy resins, urethanes and esters. The coating may be applied by aqueous dispersion or a solvent solution laid down by dry spray flow or brush coating. After coating the container is dried by hot air or infra red heating. The container may have a multi-layer structure, eg external and internal layers of polypropylene separated by a thin, gas-impermeable layer of EVOH, the three layers being adhered together by modified maleic anhydride adhesive,
