Patent EP-0197763-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LAMB PETER RONALD
IPC: B65H63/06
Filed: 1986-04-03
Abstract: 5 A method of monitoring for contaminants in highly elongate textile product such as yarn includes diffusely applying light to the yarn and monitoring light reflected by the yarn. The yarn is drawn past a background therefor and light is diffusely applied to both the yarn and said background. The background is arranged so that the total amount of monitored light reflected from the yarn and the background is substantially independent of the dimensions and density of the yarn and of the distribution of constituents in the yarn. In this way, a prescribed change in the reflected light intensity indicates a selected contaminant or range of contaminants in the yarn. The background is conveniently provided by an elongate channel so as to be close behind and to each side of the yarn.

Abstract: A pressure sensor (33) is provided by a bridge circuit on a semiconductor diaphragm (44), with diaphragm deflection being effective to produce an output voltage proportional to the deflecting force. A constant current source (62) is coupled to the energizing terminals of the bridge circuit. By measuring the voltage drop across the semiconductor bridge during operation, an output signal indicative of bridge temperature is obtained. Accordingly two output signals, pressure (32) and temperature (35), are derived from a single bridge sensor (33). This produces a compact, accurate transducer assembly for use in an automotive control system, providing two control signals from a single sensor structure.

Abstract: An annular valve body (12) having a central passageway (18) for the flow of blood therethrough with two leaflets (14,16) each of which is pivotally supported on an eccentric positioned axis (P,P') in the central passageway (18) for moving between a closed position and an open position. The leaflets - (14, 16) are curved in a plane normal to the eccentric axis (P,P") and positionen with the convex side - (26, 28) of the leaflets (14,16) facing each other when the leaflets (14,16) are in the open position. Various parameters such as the curvature of the leaflets (14,16), the location of the eccentric axis - (P,P'), and the maximum opening angle of the leaflets (14,16) are selected with a view to maximizing the minimum peak velocity through the valve (10), maximizing the net stroke volume, and minimizing the mean forward pressure difference, thereby reducing thrombosis and improving the hemodynamic performance.

Abstract: A method of predictably dewatering a slurry that contains radioactive particles to a condition for safe permanent storage. Interstitial water is removed from the slurry, and then a sufficient quantity of adsorbed water is removed from the particles so that at the permanent storage temper­ature the particles will be just unsaturated with respect to adsorbed water. The dewatering endpoint is set to at least unsaturate the particles at the permanent storage temperature. This minimum volume of adsorbed water removal is necessary to assure the subsequent uptake of any condensed water that develops during storage in a sealed container. An upper dewatering endpoint is preferably set so that the volume of adsorbed water removed from the particles does not excessively unsaturate the particles, so that the sealed storage container that eventually confines the dewatered particles will not burst if the particles later become exposed to ambient water or water vapor. This upper dewatering limit is both particle- and container-specific and is set to assure that any increase in particle volume, if the particular particles become further hydrated at the permanent storage temperature, will not exceed the volume of compressible gas, typically air but alternatively an inert gas, in the particular container. 
     Systems and apparatuses for dewatering nuclear wastes are also provided. In one embodiment, a disposable container with a top region and a bottom region is provided with a waste influent port for introducing a slurry of radioactive particles into the container bottom region and with an air inlet port for introducing relatively dry air into the container top region. A vapor collector manifold is selectively disposed in the container bottom region to draw air uniformly through the particle bed. A vapor outlet port, connected to the vapor collector manifold, is provided to remove the humidified air that has passed through the particle bed from the container.

Abstract: An imaging coherent radiometer for detecting and determining the location and wavelength of coherent radiation or coherent lack of radiation in the presence of non-coherent ambient radiation. The apparatus includes an unequal path interferometer which divides incoming radiation containing coherent and non-coherent radiation into a first beam path and a second beam path through which a first beam and a second beam, respectively, travel. The optical path length difference between the first beam path and the second beam path are greater than the coherence length of the non-coherent radiation, but substantially less than the coherence length of the coherent radiation or coherent lack of radiation. Modulation means are provided to cause a predetermined difference in the optical frequencies between the first beam and the second beam proportional to a modulation signal. The first and second beams are then recombined into a recombined beam. Detecting means are provided to detect the interference of the first and second beams across the entire wavefront of the recombined beam, and over the entire image of the scene being viewed. Processing means detect and determine the location and wavelength of coherent radiation or coherent lack of radiation in the scene being viewed by the apparatus. This information can then be visually displayed. Additional processing means to respond to specific coherent wavelengths or wavelength sets.

Abstract: Aileron-supported split flaps and ground speed spoilers (collectively referred to as «aerodynamic lifting or braking devices») for reducing aircraft approach speeds and reducing the lenght of the runway needed to land the aircraft. The actuating mechanism for the aerodynamic lifting or braking device allows the latter to rotate with the supporting aileron as the latter is moved up and down when the lifting or braking device is in its stowed position. When the lifting or braking device is in its extended position, up and down aileron movements will cause the aerodynamic lifting or braking device to translate to and fro, but the lifting or braking device will remain in the extended position, irrespective of aileron movement. Hydraulic and torque tube systems can be used to deflect the aerodynamic lifting or braking device which completes the aerodynamic profile of the supporting aileron when that device is in its stowed position.

When seeking a target address on a record medium (1) on which the recorded data are divided into a plurality of blocks in correlation with an address for each block and an error check code for each address, the error check code to be appended to the address is formed from the target address. The target address and the error check code derived from the target address are compared with the address having the error check code reproduced from the record medium (1). When the result of such comparison has revealed that the error is within the symbol or bit numberthat can be corrected by the error check code, the address read from the record medium (1) is determined to be the target address.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tamper-evident seal assembly for use with a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism including a sliding member 5 which is slidable between a locked position and an unlocked position, said sliding member having a transversely projecting peg portion 11. The seal assembly comprises a channel portion 20 defining in its base a longitudinally aligned slot 21 through which the peg portion 11 can protrude, and a disposable breakable seal member 22 which is longitudinally slidable in the channel portion. The seal member 22 has means 23 for engagement with the projecting peg portion 11, such that, in the unlocked position, the seal member can be placed in the channel portion and in engagement with the peg portion, the seal member then being slidable in the channel portion and engagement between the seal member and the peg portion causing corresponding sliding of the sliding member to its locked position. In this position retaining parts 24 of the channel portion prevent lifting of the seal member, whilst the engagement between the seal member and the peg portion prevents sliding withdrawal of the seal member, whereby the locking mechanism is held in the locked position until the seal member is broken.
