Title: Force moment sensor - has elasto-mechanical coupling between plates using elastic rods between three pairs of bearing points per plate and carrying length dependent sensors
Inventor: DROLL HUBERT
IPC: G01L5/16
Filed: 1991-01-22
Abstract: A force moment sensor consists of two rigid plates (2,3) which are parallel when unloaded and lie on a common axis at a defined distance. The plates are elastomechanically coupled via six equal length elastic rods (4) with sensors on the coupling which generate length dependent signals and detect any force and torque acting on the plates. The coupling rods are arranged between three bearing point pairs on each plate, whereby the pairs of bearing points lie on circles on the plates. The inclined rods only transfer forces along their axes to the bearing points (P1-P6,B1-B6). ADVANTAGE - Sensor is made up of conventional components to form standardised modular system. Individual coupling rods can be replaced without recalibration and calibration with normal forces is not required.

Inventor: BRUECK ROLF
IPC: B01J35/04
Filed: 1991-01-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a honeycomb body (1) which can be electrically heated with a non-uniform heat distribution. The honeycomb body (1) is made up of at least one metal sheet (2, 3) wound in layers or stacked and twisted to form a plurality of channels (4) through which a fluid can flow, having apertures in two opposite front surfaces (5) of the honeycomb body (1), between which the latter is bounded by at least one covering surface (6). In the layers there is at least one path (7) having an electric element with a non-uniform distribution over its length and along which an electric current can be conducted to heat the honeycomb body (1). According to the invention, the electrical resistance of the path is always adapted to the requirements of the voltage source to which the honeycomb body (1) is to be connected for heating purposes; moreover, the shape and arrangement of the path (7) in the honeycomb body (1) is designed for special requirements which may be set for example by the geometry of the honeycomb body (1) and the use for which it is intended. Honeycomb bodies (1) of the invention are especially suitable as heatable bearers for catalysts for the conversion of harmful substances in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, e.g. four-stroke engines, since the virtually immediate activation of the catalyst every time the internal combustion engine is started is possible.

Title: Plastic sheeting for use as plant growing aid - has IR emissivity below 0.8., pref. on both sides, and is coloured light or dark depending on number of sunny days at place of use
Inventor: HUGO GERD
IPC: A01G13/02
Filed: 1992-07-27
Abstract: Plant-growing film (I) is claimed, with low emission in the infrared, esp. in the atmos. windows at 3-5 microns and 8-14 microns; the emissivity of (I) is below 0.8 on at least one, pref. both sides, and the film is coloured light or dark depending on the number of sunny days at the place of use. (I) consists of matted fleece with single filament dia. 5-100 microns and unit wt. 25-100 g/m2, and with high IR transmission, esp. at 3-5 and 8-14 microns. (I) is made of polyethylene (PE) which is coloured light or dark (see below) and pref. mechanically strengthened by heat treatment. (I) can be metallised by vapour deposition, pref. on both sides, in which case the metal layer is coated with a light- or dark-coloured lacquer with high transmission in the thermal IR range. Alternatively, (I) is filled with metal platelets and internally pigmented as required. Film (I) can also be perforated to make it permeable to water. USE/ADVANTAGE - Used in agriculture and gardening as an aid to plant growth; the plastic film is spread on the ground and the plants grow through holes in the sheet. Film (I) reflects heat back into the soil and thus reduces heat loss at night; the low IR emission of (I), esp. on the side facing the air, means that the part of the heat absorbed in daytime which is used to heat up the film is not lost again by radiation at night. The visible colour of the film (e.g. white or black depending on the amt. of sunlight) is important w.r.t. absorption of energy by the soil.
