Abstract: A low-aspect ratio propeller system is provided with a multiple ring structure formed with a plurality of circular or non-circular, annular, narrow equivalent air foil rings which are held by rails in a predetermined relationship with the propeller blades. The upstream ring is located downstream from the tip vortex of the propeller within the axial span of the propeller. One or more additional downstream-located rings are used so as to provide at least one annular multiple ring-defined pump aperture through which peripheral vortices generated by the propeller blades or fan blades may enhance the mass flow. In one propeller system, a low-aspect-ratio propeller is employed with high blade angles of attack and non-stall capability to generate strong vortices which enhance the beneficial effect of the multiple ring structure. These vortices increase thrust because their induction action on the rings increase beneficial ring flow circulation. Augmented ring flow reduces the velocities in the expanding wake by increasing the mass flow. The destruction of tip and root vortices reduces noise. The multiple ring structure also serves as a guard to protect people and animals against the rotating propeller. A plurality of embodiments are shown and described.

Abstract: Elément de raccordement pour fibres optiques comprenant un élément de raccordement articulé comportant deux bras, dont au moins un des deux bras est pourvu d'une rainure incorporée servant à retenir les fibres devant être raccordées, une base destinée à recevoir l'élément de raccordement et un couvercle s'ajustant sur ladite base qui comprend des barres de cames sollicitant les bras en position fermée de serrage. Les barres de cames sont plus courtes que l'élément de raccordement et elles n'appliquent une force de serrage que sur le centre dudit élément de raccordement, ceci permettant aux bras de s'ouvrir souplement au niveau de leurs extrémités et de serrer graduellement les fibres. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les barres de cames peuvent être plus épaisses au centre et comporter des surfaces internes opposées qui sont convexes et assurent le serrage graduel des fibres, ceci permettant de minimiser les pertes d'insertion dues à la microflexion. Le couvercle comprend des pattes qui retiennent ce dernier dans les positions ouverte et fermée. En position ouverte on peut insérer des fibres dans l'élément de raccordement et en position fermée la fermeture du couvercle met en contact par force les surfaces convexes des barres de cames avec les bras de l'élément et serre par conséquent les fibres.

Abstract: In the lamp circuit with the lamp (1), the inductor (L) and the capacitor (C), the starter is provided with a rectifier (2), a switch (TH1) and switching elements (C2, TH2) for controlling the switch into the off state, as a result of which the lamp is started. A zener diode (ZD1) results in the control input of the switch (TH1) being switched off when the power supply voltage is low, in the case of which low power supply voltage the lamp (1) cannot yet reliably be started, as a result of which the pre-heating phase and starting of the lamp are not made possible until the power supply voltage is approximately three quarters of the nominal supply voltage. Furthermore, the chopping current value at which the pre-heating current is interrupted is limited by a pulse circuit (R6, R7, TH3). This results in reliable starting of the lamp and ensures that the switch (TH1) is not destroyed even if the ballast has a high inductance level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing shaped parts made of metal alloys, in which the metal alloys are brought into the molten state and according to conventional casting methods are cast to produce geometrically simple shapes, which is followed by heating to a temperature between the solidus and the liquidus line to form a thixotropic slip, which consists of a solid-liquid mixture of rounded primary particles homogeneously distributed in a melt matrix and which after a holding time is passed to a shaping system. The object of the invention is to simplify and make more economical the preparation of rheo-alloy blanks having a close-grained and homogeneous microstructure. To this end it is provided that the metal alloys are admixed in the molten state with an amount of grain refiner which is increased compared to conventional grain refining, said increased amount being determined from a curve of a diagram in which the particle size in  mu m is plotted against the addition of grain refiner in per cent by weight, said curve being known for the individual alloys and grain refiners and having a steeply descending first branch and a second branch proceeding asymptotically towards a final value of the particle size, the determination being carried out in such a way that the addition of grain refiner is selected as a value on the second branch of the curve; that the metal alloys are then cooled down to any desired temperature below the solidus line and are then heated to a holding temperature between the solidus and the liquidus line and in the process are held for a holding time of less than 15 minutes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: At the input of this matrix a set of transmitters (E1, 1...Em, n) receives information to be transmitted through it. It transmits waves carrying this information, on controlled wavelengths. A set of filters (F1, 1...Fn, m) transmits these waves at the output of the matrix selectively according to their wavelengths. From these transmitters to these filters, these waves are transmitted first of all by a group of switching distributors (X1...Xm) each able to connect each of its inputs to each of its outputs, on command, then by a group of star-wired distributors (C1...Cn) each permanently connecting all its inputs to all its outputs.

Abstract: 2.1 Known measurement methods and measuring arrangements have the disadvantage that the measurement of the phase change in the interference signals which is necessary for determining the measured distance is performed with a resolution of at most approximately 1/10 of the total wavelength. However, this resolution comes nowhere near the resolution which can be achieved using other methods. Moreover, because of the ignorance of the wavelength no relative measurements can be carried out following an absolute measurement. 2.2 This disadvantage is overcome in the measurement method according to the invention owing to the fact that at the ends of each measurement cycle the air wavelength of the laser beam is controlled to a specific wavelength value by means of an additionally provided control interferometer having a control section which is shorter than the measurement section and thereafter the air wavelength is continuously tuned within a specific wavelength interval and controlled to the final value by means of the control interferometer. The phase change in the interference signal is continuously detected during the wavelength modulation. A simple mathematical relationship can be used to determine the measurement section from the measured wavelengths and the phase shift. Relating the measurement uncertainty of this method to that of the conventional interferometers can be achieved by using a further laser having at least one further discrete wavelength by generating a beat wavelength, which must be greater than the measurement uncertainty owing to the continuous tuning of the wavelength. It is possible, furthermore, to use this method to carry out relative measurements following an absolute measurement. 2.3. The measurement method and the laser interferometer arrangement are suitable, in particular, for absolute distance measurements. <IMAGE>
