Abstract: The invention comprises a tunnel-type heating furnace of modular construction for heating glass sheets carried therethrough in succession on a series of aligned rollers. The furnace enclosure includes a lower section of generally rectangular cross-section beneath the rollers and an upper section, which is of generally elliptical configuration in cross-section, above the rollers. The upper enclosure section is vertically retractable by means of a jack mechanism to facilitate maintenance and changing of the rollers. The rollers include shafts at their opposite ends having bearings adapted to be received and supported in upwardly opening recesses in roll support plates extending along either side of the furnace. A toothed gear or sprocket is affixed to the end shaft at one end of each roller. The rollers are driven in groups by timing belts whose upper flights extend over and engage the toothed gears. Hold down assemblies removably carried by the roll support plates include cam rollers positioned intermediate each pair of toothed gears for urging the timing belts downwardly into driving engagement with the toothed gears. A differential heating assembly may be provided for modifying the heating pattern beneath the elliptical upper enclosure section.

Abstract: A method for cleaning and protecting a diesel cooling system from corrosion and the effects of the corrosive by-products wherein a filter is used to feed a dissolvable pellet comprising dissolvable cleaning agents and corrosion inhibiting agents into the cooling system. The cleaner consists of chelating agents, surfactants, and anti-foaming agents. The filter is removably inserted in the cooling system, and the cleaners and inhibitors dissolve in the coolant to clean and protectively coat the cooling system while the engine is operating. The removed impurities are captured by the filter and the filter is replaced within a few weeks with a standard filter containing inhibiting agents. The method thus does not require draining the cooling system to clean the cooling system.

Abstract: There exist devices for wrapping a packaging unit (14) of mineral wool plates (15) or a mineral wool roll that have a conveyor (1, 2) for the packaging unit, a foil roll (3) spaced above and a foil roll (4) spaced below the conveyor (1, 2), as well as a welding beam (10) and a stop beam (13) movable towards each other in such a way that they clamp between them the ends of the wrap (26) and weld them together. In addition, a cutter cuts the transversal weld (7) thus produced and welds together the ends of the wrap on the one hand and the ends (5, 6) of the foils that can be drawn from the foil rolls (3, 4). Such packaging units are extremely bulky and difficult to handle. In order to obtain a device capable of producing such a wrap, so that the packaging units can be easily handled, the welding beam (10) and the stop beam (13) are so wide, seen in the direction (16) of transport of the packaging unit (14), whereas the welding beam (10) is provided with at least two spaced apart heating zones (18, 19), that a carrying handle (23) is formed at the periphery of the wrap (26).

Abstract: Circuit pour tester un afficheur à cristaux liquides permettant de détecter les lignes de données ouvertes, d'identifier les lignes de sélection en court-circuit avec des lignes de données, et d'identifier les étages défectueux d'un balayeur de lignes de données, ledit circuit incluant des transistors à couches minces disposés entre chaque ligne de données et un bus segmenté. Un registre à décalage constitué de plusieurs parties actionne séquentiellement les transistors à couches minces et les segments de bus sont surveillés pendant que des signaux de données sont appliqués aux lignes de données. L'absence de tension sur le bus indique qu'il y a une ligne de données ouverte. Le bus est également surveillé pendant l'application de signaux de sélection aux lignes de sélection et le registre à décalage actionne les transistors à couches minces. L'existence d'une tension sur le bus indique un court-circuit entre une ligne de données et une ligne de sélection.

Abstract: Ensemble de trocart (10) constitué d'un sous-ensemble (64) de tube de trocart et d'un sous-ensemble (14) d'élément de trocart, interchangeable et séparé. Le sous-ensemble (14) d'élément de trocart comprend un obturateur (38) allongé pourvu d'une pointe (40) très effilée qui se loge normalement dans un tube (12) allongé du sous-ensemble de tube de trocart. L'obturateur peut s'étrier depuis la position rétractée dans le tube, dans laquelle la pointe (40) est retirée de l'extrémité du tube pour adopter la position de fonctionnement dans laquelle ladite pointe est à l'avant de l'extrémité du tube et sort de ce dernier. En faisant avancer manuellement l'ensemble de trocart contre une paroi corporelle, la force de résistance verrouille l'obturateur en position de fonctionnement. Le relâchement de la force nécessaire pour traverser la paroi corporelle provoque le déverrouillage automatique de l'obturateur qui se rétracte alors pour adopter sa position initiale dans laquelle la pointe est logée et protégée dans le tube, ceci permettant de protéger les tissus corporels et les organes afin qu'ils ne soient pas endommagés par la pointe lorsqu'elle pénètre dans une cavité corporelle située au-delà de la paroi.

Abstract: A method for removing hazardous contaminants such as radon gas and volatile synthetic organic chemicals from domestic water supplies uses a perforated, horizontally-oriented tray which is baffled to define a curved (e.g., serpentine, spiral) liquid flow path. Contaminated water is distributed upon a portion of the tray and flows as directed by the baffles to a downcomer and into a storage tank. Air is blown into the storage tank, which is located below the perforated tray, and up through the perforations. The forced air causes the water flowing across the tray to froth, and evaporates the contaminants out of the frothing water. The forced air, carrying the volatilized contaminants, is then vented outside the home. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Infiltrate a porous, self-reinforced (beta)-Si3N4 preform with a metal or a crystallizable glass to yield a composite material. The preform possesses a low glass phase and has a density of from 50 to 70 percent of theoretical density. Prepare the (beta)-Si3N4 preform by subjecting a porous body formed from an (alpha)-Si3N4 powder composition to two sequential heat treatments. The first heat treatment occurs below the (alpha)- to (beta)-conversion temperature and results in a strengthened body that can be machined. The second heat treatment occurs above that temperature and yields the self-reinforced (beta)-Si3N4 preform. Conventional infiltration procedures with an infiltrant that is a metal or a glass results in an Si3N4/metal or Si3N4/glass composite material that has 50 to 70 percent of its volume occupied by (beta)-Si3N4 whiskers.
