Title: Device and method for determining the circumferential profile of elongated bodies
Inventor: FISCHBACH JOERN UWE PROF DR
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 1993-02-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for determining the circumferential profile of elongated bodies, in particular of human extremities (11), having a measuring frame (1) on which there is provided a light barrier arrangement which is directed inwards, arranged circumferentially, forms a measuring plane and is composed of a multiplicity of light sources (2, 2') and light sensors (3, 3') which can be activated in a controlled fashion by a computer (10). The measuring frame (1) can be displaced in a direction x normal to the measuring plane in a fashion scanning a multiplicity of measuring points (12, 12', 12''). A multiplicity of projections (19 or 19') of the body are recorded by shadow casting at each measuring point (12, 12', 12'') and are stored. In order to be able to determine the circumference more accurately, it is provided that in addition to the size of the projection use is also made of the position of the projection and of the measuring point (12) as well as of the adjacent measuring points (12', 12'') for the purpose of determining a local circumference (16) which is assigned to each measuring point (12) and to which there is assigned a local cross-sectional plane which is situated at right angles to the local axis (13). <IMAGE>
Patent DE-4312702-A1 (DE)
Inventor: MUELLER REINHARD
IPC: H02G5/08
Filed: 1993-04-20
Abstract: In the case of outlet boxes or connection boxes for busbars in low-voltage busbar trunking systems having mounting elements and having a housing which is divided by a partition wall into an equipment area and a connection area, a sliding cover covering either the equipment area or the connection area and being lockable by means of a locking device, it is intended to improve safety and, to be precise, this should be done irrespective of the reliability of the operator. This is achieved in that the mounting elements can be locked by means of a locking device, a bolt of the locking device engaging, when the mounting elements are in the unlocked position, behind the sliding cover in the locking manner. Furthermore, a protection device is provided, which consists of elements or probe fingers which can enter the retaining area between the connecting tab contacts, release the sliding cover when they enter said area and lock the sliding cover when they leave it. <IMAGE>

Title: Light water reactor, in particular boiling water reactor with a high degree of intrinsic safety
Inventor: MATTERN JEAN DIPL ING
IPC: G21C15/18
Filed: 1993-04-28
Abstract: In a light water reactor, in particular a boiling water reactor, having a reactor pressure vessel, having a core composed of fuel elements and arranged in the lower half of the reactor pressure vessel and having a column, which covers the core, of the water which is used as coolant and moderator and which, in normal operation, has a first filling level range, provision is made of a passively acting safety device which is connected to the internal space of the reactor pressure vessel by means of sensor lines. The sensor lines are designed for the automatic transmission of a triggering criterion to the safety device, the drop of the level in the reactor pressure vessel to a value below the first filling level range being used as triggering criterion. The safety device can, for example, be a switching vessel which controls the control pressure of pilot control and/or main valves (8, 9) as a function of the liquid level (FI; FII) in the reactor pressure vessel (4). <IMAGE>

Title: Device for connecting a driver of a window lifter to a window pane
Inventor: SCHUST GERHARD
IPC: E05D7/04
Filed: 1993-05-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device for the driver of a car window lifter, in which device a pin of the driver reaches through a receiving opening in the window pane. Known driver pins latch with elastic detents into the receiving opening, which detents can be released unintentionally or have to be locked by an additional part. The connection between the pin and window pane is rigid, so that movement between the guide rail, which carries the driver, and the driver has to be compensated for. In order, with a simple and cost-effective design, to provide a fastening device which is capable of carrying a load, can be fitted easily and in which there is no requirement for the driver to be displaceable with respect to the guide rail, the receiving opening is designed as an elongated hole which runs horizontally and the free end of the pin has a rigid, radially protruding retaining part which can be inserted through the receiving opening and, in the operational position of the pin, reaches behind the edge region of the receiving opening. <IMAGE>

Title: Process and apparatus for seawater desalination using natural energy sources, in particular sun and wind
Inventor: SFINTITCHI GREGOR
IPC: F03D9/28
Filed: 1993-06-24
Abstract: A process for seawater desalination using natural energy sources, in particular sun and wind, includes the process steps of introducing seawater into a storage vessel (1), passing it on into a water piping and evaporation vessel (2), evaporating and condensing and collecting the desalinated water and is characterised in that the water is condensed and collected away from the coast (in the interior) remotely from the water piping and evaporation vessel (2). Thus, in a belt of land immediately adjacent to the coastal region, particularly in the tropics and subtropics, a microclimate is to be generated which permits plant cover with vegetation suitable e.g. for the production of foodstuffs. Furthermore, a corresponding apparatus is specified which enables multi-stage heating of the water to be evaporated. <IMAGE>

Title: Sensor arrangement and method for measuring characteristics of the surface layer of a metallic target
Inventor: MANDL ROLAND
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 1993-08-18
Abstract: A sensor arrangement and a method for measuring characteristics of the surface layer (3) of a metallic target (2) are proposed, by means of which it is possible to carry out measurement which is nondestructive and essentially independent of distance. Only very low demands need be placed on the sensor positioning. According to the invention, the sensor arrangement (1) comprises a combination of at least one eddy-current sensor (5) having at least one position sensor (displacement measuring sensor) (6). The depth of penetration of the eddy currents generated by the eddy-current sensor (5) corresponds at least to twice the thickness of the surface layer (3), and the position sensor (6) serves to determine the distance of the sensor arrangement (1) from the target surface (4). The measurement signals of the eddy-current sensor (5) and of the position sensor (6) are evaluated on the basis of a hypothetical depth of penetration of the eddy currents which is to be determined as a function of the frequency of the eddy currents and of the conductivity and the permeability of the basic material (8) of the target (2). <IMAGE>

Title: ACVA-aquarium current-voltage alarm
Inventor: PIETSCHMANN WERNER
IPC: G01R19/155
Filed: 1994-02-08
Abstract: The ACVA is a warning system for an aquarium which indicates, without any power supply and therefore in the long term and reliably, if the aquarium is, owing to a technical defect, at 220/230 VAC and therefore warns of lethal danger. The measuring sensor (lead) is fastened so that it is approximately 2 cm deep in the aquarium water. The continental European standard protective-earth plug is plugged into the continental European standard protective-earth socket. In the event of fault: the aquarium is at 220/230 VAC and a current of 1.9 mA flows via the measuring sensor/ACVA/continental European standard protective-earth plug connection. The monitoring lamp lights up. In the event of direct danger to life and limb: A push-button switch (normally open contact) is built onto the top of the casing of the ACVA. By pressing the push-button switch a direct water/measuring sensor/ACVA/earth (continental European standard portective-earth socket) connection is made. Depending on the position of a defect a current of from 100 mA to 250 mA flows through the measuring sensor. In the case of a corresponding fault-current circuit breaker (residual current device) this current is enough to trip the circuit breaker.
