Abstract: Ceramic-like inorganic/organic composite materials (M1) comprise the following components :(A) reinforced mixture of a ceramic-forming agent which undergoes a substance conversion below the ceramic sintering temperature, pre-compacted to facilitate a solid state reaction ; (B) inorganic ceramic-forming agents containing or modified with reactive surface groups, especially hydroxyl groups ; and (C) organosilicon compounds. Components (A)-(C) are active during the solid state reaction. Standard auxiliary agents and techniques for ceramics are used to mould (M1). Fibrous needle-shaped inorganic crystals are present as fibres in (M1), along with inorganic substances that are capable of forming a liquid phase to create a three-dimensional amorphous network.  These inorganic substances may be ones that have reaction products capable of forming such a liquid phase. The amorphous network may be formed with the assistance of (C). Also claimed are (i) similar composite materials (M1) in which the inorganic fibres are replaced with organic fibres containing or modified with reactive surface groups, especially hydroxyl groups and (ii) the preparation of (M1) and (M2).

Patent DE-19650883-A1 (DE)
Title: Contactless, non=destructive testing of welded seams between thermoplastic strips or coated strips
Inventor: VOGEL CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01N25/72
Filed: 1996-12-07
Abstract: A method is claimed for contactless, non-destructive testing of welded seams on moving thermoplastic strips (1,2). The lateral temperature distribution at the welded plane of the seam (8a) is determined immediately after welding by indirect measurement at the surface of the combined material (8) using an on-line thermographic technique in which an image of scanned lines is produced on a computer-aided screen (12). By analysing the image and considering the material properties and process parameters such as material feed rate, applied welding pressure and temperature and hot air flow rate the quality of the welded seam can be determined and where necessary corrections made on-line. Preferably the temperature along the seam (8a) is recorded by a thermographic line scanning camera (9) located perpendicularly above the seam, immediately behind the strip joining area. Temperature distribution at the upper surface of the seam relates to the heat transfer through the seam, but corresponds to the temperature distribution and therefore degree of plasticisation at the welding plane. Analysis of the temperature information and welding speed and applied pressure at the seam enables variable or specific corrections to be made to these parameters so that seam defects, inclusions and inhomogeneities are recognised and corrected before their formation.

The transmitter is movable in two directions (16,17) opposed to each other. The sensor has two electric switches assigned respectively to a movement direction. The moving switch elements (182 or 192) of it are so arranged in the movement path (16,17) of the transmitter part, that the switch elements (21) at the transmitter, in which a movement direction (16) of the transmitter only operates the end in the inverse movement direction (17) only operates the other switch (18,19).

The handle is pre-tensioned by a second spring element in the housing.
Patent DE-19707651-A1 (DE)
Inventor: HOFFSOMMER KLAUS
IPC: G01S15/931
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a measuring distance system, especially an assisted-parking system for automobiles, whereby the information (1a, 1b, 1c and 2a, 2b) to be transmitted to the single control system by the sensors is time-compressed. This makes it possible to interpret the same echo pulse several times or transmit information more securely by means of different coding of the same information on the data line. It is also possible to connect a series of several sensors to the same data line so that a star-shaped connection of the sensors to the control device by means of a corresponding number of data lines is no longer necessary.
