Abstract: Appareil de développement permettant d'appliquer des toners de couleurs différentes sur des images électrostatiques se trouvant dans une seule et unique position de développement, qui se déplace par translation pour aligner chacune des unités de développement par rapport à la position de développement. Lesdites unités de développement (10, 20, 30, 40) sont montées sur un chariot mobile (50) comprenant une plaque coulissante (101). Un pignon (110) monté sur la plaque coulissante est en prise avec une crémaillère (130) et permet le déplacement de la plaque coulissante lorsque ladite plaque est supportée par des rouleaux (60) portant sur la partie inférieure de l'appareil. Afin de maintenir l'alignement de la plaque coulissante et du pignon par rapport à la crémaillère, une paire de rouleaux (136, 138) sont en prise avec un (132) des rails opposés faisant partie de la crémaillère et un troisième rouleau (137) est sollicité par ressort vers le rail opposé (133) afin d'aligner la plaque et le pignon par rapport à la crémaillère.

Abstract: Méthode et appareil de spectrométrie de masse conçus de telle sorte que certains ions piégés sont détectés tandis qu'ils heurtent un détecteur comprenant au moins l'une des électrodes qui établissent le champ de piégeage des ions. L'invention supprime la nécessité de chasser les ions du piège et, par là même, la nécessité de perforer une ou plusieurs des électrodes-pièges. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation privilégiés, le champ de piégeage est un champ quadrapôle tridimensionnel dans une région circonscrite par une électrode annulaire et une paire d'électrodes terminales. Selon l'un des modes de réalisation, le détecteur dans le piège, qui fait l'objet de l'invention, est une électrode-piège constituée (tout au moins en partie) d'une matière phosphorescente qui émet des photons en réponse à l'incidence des ions sur sa surface interne (la surface de l'électrode qui fait face à la région piège). Dans une autre configuration, le détecteur d'ions piégés est un détecteur à effet de Faraday, qui comporte une broche conductrice isolée montée de telle sorte que son extrémité affleure la face intérieure de l'une des électrodes-pièges.

IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1993-01-30
Abstract: The conductivity or the electrical resistance R of the active material of an electrode changes with the conversion level of the reaction supplying the current. If the specific conductivities of the active material and of the metallic framework substance are not too different from one another, this also applies to the electrode as an entity. A new method uses the said relationship to determine the charge state of a battery, in that a high-frequency alternating current I AC is passed through the electrode (1) in situ via the connections (2) (tab) and (4), and the resultant AC voltage U AC is picked off between the points (3) and (5). If the rms value of I AC is constant, said AC voltage U AC changes in direct proportion to R and represents a measure of the actual charge state. The charge state can be read off by means of an analog or digital display (for example in %) on a display unit which is part of the measurement arrangement.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A description is given of a monitoring device for frozen foods, with the aid of which overshooting of an additional storage temperature is irreversibly indicated. A flat plastic bag with transparent walls is connected to the frozen goods in a thermally conductive fashion, and a eutectic medium having a liquid/solid phase transition in the range from 0 DEG C to -50 DEG C is introduced into said bag together with a magnetic dispersion consisting of finely disperse magnetic pigments. Bonded on the bag is a magnetic strip which contains a magnetically recorded pattern and which remains connected to the bag until the monitoring device with the frozen goods is cooled below the limiting temperature. The magnetic strip is then removed. Upon overshooting of the permissible limiting temperature, the optically or magnetically readable structure generated by the magnetic strip is cancelled in the monitoring bag, so that it is easy to monitor the frozen food. The invention permits numerous varying possibilities by the combination of a plurality of mounted magnetic strips.

Abstract: In a fuel bundle (B) for a boiling water nuclear reactor, modification of the spacers (S) at the peripheral spacer band (14) is made to maintain a more uniform spacing of the peripheral fuel rods from the channel walls to avoid critical power limitations. The spacers (S) are modified at their peripheral band (14) to prevent the spacer confined group of fuel rods closing on the channel wall due to overall migration of the fuel rods as a group held together by the spacers. According to the invention, two adjacent spacer sides (33,34) are formed with at least two protrusions (45-48) typically in the form of bubble like projections, these protrusions (45-48) occupying the entire interval necessary to maintain the fuel rods adjacent the sides at their full optimal spacing from the interior channel walls. Similarly, the remaining two adjacent spacer sides (31,32) are formed with protrusions (41-44) again in the form of bubble like projections, these protrusions (41-44) occupying a sufficient interval to prevent inadvertent closing of the fuel rods to the channel sides beyond a worst case limit. This worst case limit is chosen to provide the peripheral fuel rods with adequate clearance to avoid critical power limitation and yet leave sufficient clearance between the peripheral band (14) and the channel (C) so that the channel (C) may be conveniently assembled to the fuel bundle (B). On these two remaining sides (31,32) of the peripheral spacer band (14), leaf springs (61-64) are added. In operation, the leaf springs (61-64) are given sufficient force to bias the fuel rod matrix at the spacer (S) away from the channel wall. Such biasing registers the full dimension protrusions (45-48) to the channel wall at the opposite sides of the spacer and uniformly spaces the peripheral fuel rods with respect to the channel (C). Bundle critical power is enhanced.

Abstract: A water based thixotropic adhesive gel is disclosed which consists essentially of: water; partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, or wherein a portion of the polyvinyl alcohol is replaced with polyvinylpyrrolidone; a water-soluble high viscosity thickening agent polymer which is compatible with the polyvinyl alcohol and which imparts thixotropic properties to the gel; a water-soluble plasticizer for the polyvinyl alcohol; and a water-soluble defoamer in proportion of ingredients so that the viscosity of the adhesive will break down when a flexible tube or squeeze bottle dispenser is finger-pressed and have a sufficiently low viscosity to allow for easy extrusion from an orifice having a diameter of about 0.06 to 0.15 inches. When pressure is released, after the desired amount of adhesive has flown out of the dispenser, the adhesive quickly reverts to very close to its original gel state so that it will not run on a vertical surface on porous and semiporous surfaces such as paper. An article of manufacture is also provided whereby the adhesive gel containing the above ingredients is in a flexible dispenser from which the adhesive can be dispensed by finger-pressure.
