Patent EP-0436285-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BRONOWICKI ALLEN J
IPC: G01B7/16
Filed: 1990-11-09
Abstract: A deformation sensing device, and related method, for measuring overall deformation of a structural member subject to deformation by an actuator. The device includes a first sensor located in a region of influence of the actuator and a second sensor located outside but near to the region of influence of the actuator. The device takes a weighted average of output signals from the two sensors, using weighting factors that, in one embodiment, are applied either electronically and are selected either as proportional to the lengths of the member regions under the influence of the actuator and not under the influence of the actuator, or are selected to provide a desired transfer function between input to the actuator and output from the sensing device. In other embodiments, weighting of the output signals is obtained by using different surface areas for the sensors or by appropriately positioning two shear-mode sensors in relation to the region of influence of the actuator.

Abstract: A nuclear spectroscopy method and apparatus for obtaining qualitative and quantitative information related to water flow, comprising the steps of: 
(1) irradiating the water flow with a source of neutrons (22) of sufficient energy to interact with oxygen atoms in the water according to the activation reaaction O¹⁶(n,p)N¹⁶; (2) detecting and counting, with at least one detector (24, 26), the gamma rays emitted during disintegration of N¹⁶; (3) making a plot of the counts versus time; and (4) deriving from said plot information related to said water flow. 
The irradiation is advantageously interrupted after a given period of time, and is preferably immediately followed by the detection. The water flow velocity "V" is calculated from the formula V = d / t, where "d" is the distance between the source (22) and the detector(s) (24, 26), and "t" is the time period between the irradiation and the time corresponding to a characteristic on said plot, representative of the water flow and departing from the N¹⁶ exponential decay curve. The characteristic takes different forms on the plot according to the duration of the irradiation.

Abstract: L'invention concerne divers procédés et dispositifs mécaniques permettant la manipulation et le guidage de la partie courbée d'un endoscope sur laquelle se trouve une gaine. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'axe central longitudinal d'un tube de biopsie est aligné avec le centre longitudinal du tube d'insertion, l'un et l'autre étant mis en commun avec le centre courbé instantané du tube d'insertion. Ledit tube d'insertion n'est capable que d'un mouvement droit et gauche par guide, mais est aussi rotatif par rapport au manche afin de permettre de positionner le bout dans n'importe quel emplacement. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le centre courbé instantané est décalé radialement du centre longitudinal dudit tube d'insertion. Les charnières sont positionnées dans la partie courbée dudit tube d'insertion afin de situer le centre instantané de courbure à un emplacement voulu dans une gorge. On a prévu quatre, ou dans un autre mode de réalisation, trois câbles afin de commander le mouvement et le guidage de la partie courbée. Comme les câbles ne sont pas disposés symétriquement par rapport au centre courbé instantané, l'ensemble de commande mécanique est conçu pour tenir compte de la différence entre les mouvements du câble respectif dans toute la plage de mouvements. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le canal est décalé radialement du centre instantané de courbure, et on rend l'ensemble étirable et compressible afin d'assurer que l'extrémité du tube de biopsie reste alignée avec l'extrémité du tube d'insertion.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE90/00391 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 29, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 29, 1991 PCT Filed May 28, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/15340 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 13, 1990.In electron beam measuring, it is often also necessary to measure the frequency range in addition to the measuring time range. In order to do this, according to the invented process, the output signal of the local oscillator of a spectrum analyzer, as is known from conventional high-frequency measuring, undergoes a first frequency conversion and subsequently is utilized for modulating the primary beam. Based on the potential contrast as a multiplicative interaction and the modulated primary beam, the under circumstances very high-frequency signal to be analyzed is transformed to an easily detected low intermediate frequency. Subsequently this intermediate frequency signal is transferred into an input frequency plane of the spectrum analyzer by a second frequency conversion. Both the variable input selection frequency or the fixed intermediate frequency of the spectrum analyzer may be the frequency . The measured result appears in the usual manner on the display of the spectrum analyzer.

Abstract: Procédé de production d'un écran fluorescent utilisé pour un tube à rayons cathodiques en couleurs. Des couches de phosphore émettant une lumière rouge, une lumière verte et une lumière bleue sont stratifiées de manière répétitive avec ces couches non luminescentes entrelacées pour former un produit stratifié qui est ensuite découpé en films minces dans le sens de l'épaisseur. On fait adhérer le film par pression sur le panneau avant du tube à rayons cathodiques en couleurs, que l'on passe ensuite au four. Ce procédé permet de produire de manière efficiente un écran luminescent en couleurs présentant une très grande précision et une définition élevée, ainsi que de former des bandes RVB très fines. On peut ainsi appliquer l'écran luminescent en couleurs même à des tubes à rayons cathodiques de petite taille, qui ne permettaient jusqu'à présent une exploitation pratique aisée.

Abstract: Granular, oil-containing seeds or seed products, after mechanical conditioning, are introduced into an autoclave for detoxification and debittering, treated there and are then discharged into a treatment chamber under atmospheric conditions and then dried and cooled. In treatment used hitherto, the toxic substances remaining in the treated product permit an admixture into compound feed for animal feeding only to a very low extent. In order to reduce the content of toxic substances in such a manner that addition to any animal feed is possible in an unrestricted amount from the toxicological point of view, certain parameter combinations are to be maintained during the treatment in the autoclave, which combinations are characterised by the established ranges for temperature, pressure, moisture content of the product, addition of distillation steam and treatment time. For this, the product to be treated is fed via a pressure-tight lock to a multi-floor treatment device having heatable bases and jackets, moved there by stirrer arms, mixed and continuously brought into contact with steam flowing out through the stirrer arms, the fraction of which steam not condensing in the product to be treated is loaded with the toxic substances to be eliminated.
