Abstract: An improved ultrasonic vortex fluid flowmeter (10) includes a housing (12) having a slip-on yoke (16) which removably mates with a bluff body conduit connector (18) permanently installed in a fluid conduit to be monitored. An ultrasonic transmitter (40) and receiver (42) are respectively positioned within the legs of the yoke so as pass an ultrasonic wave through vortices (43) shed by the fluid as it flows by the bluff body (28). The slip-on yoke eliminates both the need to shut down fluid flow during meter servicing, and the potential for external contaminants entering the fluid. The flowmeter further utilizes a simple phase detector formed from an Exclusive Or gate (44) in combination with an optimal phase range detecting means (108). The optimal phase range detecting means triggers a 90 degree phase shift whenever the phase difference between the transmitted wave and the received wave approaches 0 or 180 degrees. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves detecting trains of measurement values of the movement of at least two components (3,4). At least two trains of values are balanced by comparing the values at least one point, which is taken as a boundary constraint, at which the ratios of the movement of the components associated with the trains are known. The method further involves calculating the position and alignment of all components in a reference system by normalising the trains of measurement values. The normalised series of values are then represented together.

Abstract: A method of regulation in winding, wherein a number of separate rolls are formed around separate roll cores situated one after another and side by side while being supported by support members and loaded by linear loads produced by truncated rolls in a set of truncated press rolls. The distance at each particular time between at least one truncated roll in the set of truncated press rolls and a beam that loads the set of truncated press rolls is measured. Based on the measured distance, a measurement signal is passed to a regulator which provides a regulation signal to valves that control actuators of the beam so as to adjust the distance between the beam and the set of truncated press rolls to the desired value.

Abstract: A display rack for displaying boxes, especially boxes containing a plurality of smaller product packages (such as mint packages), comprising a base and a stand having a plurality of openings. Swing arms with lock slots are adapted to extend from two opposing sides of the openings and engage with the product boxes being displayed. The swing arms are moveable inward and outward within a slot in the rack and are such that the arms may be either perpendicular to the vertical axis of the rack, when the arms are adjacent to the back of the rack, or tilted downward when the swing arms are distanced from the back of the rack. Consequently, the engaged product boxes may be located in a level position at the back of the rack (a position which is especially useful for loading, transport and storage) or they may be tipped in a downward position at the front of the rack to prominently display the product. The boxes are uniquely designed to include slots which accommodate the ends of the swing arms and thus hold the boxes in place in the rack and also allow for easy replacement of the boxes in the rack. In addition, a lock tab on the swing arms is engageable with openings in the boxes to removably lock the swing arms and the boxes together.
