Abstract: Un dispositif optiquement bistable (100) possède des première et seconde régions de puits quantiques multiples à semi-conducteur (101 et 102) ayant des niveaux complémentaires de haute et basse absorption pour émettre des premier et second rayons de lumière de sortie (162 et 163) ayant des niveaux complémentaires de basse et haute puissance. Le dispositif optique comprend des premier et second photodétecteurs (103 et 104) ayant des régions de puits quantiques respectives (101 et 102). Les photodétecteurs sont sensibles aux premier et second rayons de lumière (160 et 161) pour commander électriquement l'absorption optique de chacune des deux régions de puits quantiques. L'état de dispositif est déterminé par le niveau de transmission du rayon de lumière (161) passant au travers de la région de puits quantiques multiples (102) et émis en tant que rayon de lumière de sortie (162), tandis que l'état complémentaire du dispositif est déterminé par le niveau de transmission du rayon de lumière de sortie complèmentaire (162). Simultanément, un atténuateur optique variable (701) fait varier proportionnellement le niveau d'intensité des rayons de lumière d'entrée (160 et 161) pour maintenir l'état du dispositif sur une grande plage d'intensités ou puissances d'entrée. Lorsque le dispositif fonctionne dans la région de fonctionnement bistable, l'un ou l'autre des rayons de lumière de commande (180 et 181) ayant un niveau d'intensité faible change le dispositif d'un état à l'autre. Deux valeurs seuil du rapport de l'intensité de la lumière incidente sur les deux photodétecteurs établissent le point de commutation du dispositif d'un état à l'autre.

Abstract: The device with a slit orifice is used for the melt extrusion of metallic melts. It consists of a cylindrical heatable melt container (1) and an orifice (2) attached to the latter and having an orifice face (3), in which is provided at least one rectangular slit (8) formed by two opposite lips (4, 5) and two opposite webs (13, 14). The orifice (2) has outer side walls (11, 12) on the lip side, each of these side walls forming with the plane of the orifice face (3) an angle of 40 DEG  to 60 DEG . The two lips (4, 5), which lie in the same plane, formed by the orifice face (3), have the same width and mutually parallel edges (9, 10) on the side-wall side and slit slide. The ratio of the width (6) of the slit (8) to the width (7) of each lip (4, 5) is 1:20 to 1:5. Using such a device with a slit orifice it is possible to produce amorphous metal strips which have precisely predeterminable dimensions and can be released very easily from their cooling surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Clamp ring assembly for air spring
Inventor: HOFFMAN KEITH E
IPC: F16F9/05
Filed: 1989-11-21
Abstract: An air spring (1) formed by an axially spaced end member (2) and a piston member (3) with an intervening elastomeric flexible sleeve (8) therebetween which forms a fluid pressure chamber (18). An annular clamp ring (32) having a recess (33) on the inner diameter thereof coacts with a corresponding annular projection (21) on the outer diameter of the rigid piston member (3) to positionally locate the ring on the piston member. A pair of clamping surfaces (19, 20) are located on opposite sides of the projection (21) and are separated therefrom by expansion grooves (23, 24). The projection (21) and clamping surfaces (19, 20) form a series of pinch areas with the intervening sleeve (8), which sealingly clamp the sleeve therebetween. The expansion grooves (23, 24) receive portions of the sleeve and change the direction of reinforcing cords within the sleeve. Another radially extending groove (26) traps a partially compressed end of the sleeve therein and provides an additional material expansion area. The clamp ring (32) seats upon a shoulder (12) of the piston member (3) to reduce movement of the ring during operation of the air spring (1). The positioning of the ring proximate to the edge of the piston member provides a substantially continuous surface on which the sleeve rolls during operation of the air spring to reduce wear on the sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fastening element for the assembling of shaped bars (40, 44) into multidimensional structures comprising a clip element (1) consisting of two leaves (2, 3) capable of being pushed apart by an eccentric peg (6), and a reference element made up of two bars (4, 5) connected to each other at a constant distance by side plates (7, 8). A quarter rotation of the eccentric peg (6) produces a relative displacement between the clip element (1) and the reference element (4, 5, 7, 8). This relative displacement is converted into a moving apart of the two leaves (2, 3). For the assembling of the tubular shaped bars, the fastening element according to the present invention is securely positioned in a seating in a shaped bar (40) in such a way as to leave a projection formed by a front end of the fastening element, this end consisting of two lips (12, 13) capable of being separated when the described movement is made. The moving apart of the lips (12, 13) is made use of to engage in a lateral portion of a second shaped bar (44). The fastening element according to the present invention has the advantages of rigid closure by a quarter-turn, and also separation of the position of the clamping means (6) from the region of junction of the shaped bars. <IMAGE>
