Patent EP-0292974-B1 (EP)
Inventor: MCLUCKEY SCOTT A
IPC: G01N27/64
Filed: 1988-05-26
Granted: 1994-02-23
Abstract: An atmospheric sampling glow discharge ionization source that can be used in combination with an analytical instrument which operates at high vacuum, such as a mass spectrometer. The atmospheric sampling glow discharge ionization source comprises a chamber with at least one pair of electrodes disposed therein, an inlet for a gaseous sample to be analyzed and an outlet communicating with an analyzer which operates at subatmospheric pressure. The ionization chamber is maintained at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, and a voltage difference is applied across the electrodes to induce a glow discharge between the electrodes, so that molecules passing through the inlet are ionized by the glow discharge and directed into the analyzer. The ionization source accepts the sample under atmospheric pressure conditions and processes it directly into the high vacuum instrument, bridging the pressure gap and drawing off unwanted atmospheric gases. The invention also includes a method for analyzing a gaseous sample using the glow discharge ionization source described above.

Granted: 1990-11-07
Abstract: The control manifold comprises a manifold casing which is at least approximately hexagonal, a pair of parallel sides forming thereby the upper and lower narrow sides of the casing, between which, the internal-casing conduit section of the connecting piece for the vacuum pump and for the pressure-medium supply container extend vertically and approximately concentrically; the conduit sections of the intake and outlet pieces lead into the upper end area of said supply container, the intake and outlet pieces each running parallel and near to the narrow sides joining at the upper narrow side of the casing. In this connection, the connecting piece is common to both the low-pressure side as well as the high-pressure side. From the foregoing there results a very compact and manageable manifold casing with very short, straight and hence easily-manufactured flow routes on one level.

Title: Tunnel linings
IPC: E04B1/41
Filed: 1988-11-11
Granted: 1992-01-08
Abstract: A method of assembling a tunnel lining formed of concrete segments (1, 2) joined together at their side edges to form annually together with interengaging joining means (3, 8-17) which are interengaged by sliding one segment relatively to the other. The joining means includes a recess (5) in an edge of one segment, the recess containing a channel member (8) with inturned flanges (9) defining a slot in which a screw threaded bolt (15) can be slid. The bolt is screwable into the adjacent segment and once the segments are located in the desired position, the bolt is tightened to clamp the segments together, the bolt having a head (16) which abuts the inner surfaces (10) of the flanges (9). The method also includes joining segments by inserting dowels in sockets of adjacent segments, the dowels having radially extending fins (24) of resiliently deformable material of greater width than the sockets (21) so that the deformed fins are caused to engage the inner surfaces of both opposed sockets to hold the adjacent annuli together.

Granted: 1992-04-29
Abstract: For the simultaneous production of a multiplicity of parisons for multilayer hollow articles to be produced by the blow-moulding method, in principle only one extruder (11 to 15) is provided for each layer (1 to 5) to be produced. From each extruder (e.g. 11) there extends a distributing channel (19), from which a branch (23) leads in each case to an extrusion head (10'). In the case of each branch (23) there is a throttle valve (25) arranged, by which the throughflow rate to the extrusion head (10') can be controlled. This makes it possible to produce virtually the same layer thicknesses in the case of all the parisons. <IMAGE>

Title: A very-high-pressure transducer, particularly for detecting the pressure of a hydraulic fluid
IPC: G01L9/06
Filed: 1989-07-18
Granted: 1992-12-30
Abstract: The transducer comprises a support structure (1,10,15) carrying piezoresistive sensors (8), particularly of the thick-film type, which are intended to be resiliently deformed by the fluid pressure to be measured and to provide an electrical signal indicative of the value of the pressure. The support structure comprises a substantially mushroom-shaped metal body (1) with a head (2) and a shank (3). An axial blind hole (4) is formed in the shank (3) and is intended to contain the fluid whose pressure is to be measured. The hole (4) also extends into the head (2) and, with the end surface of ti min e head, defines a wall (6) which is resiliently deformable by the pressure to be measured. The piezoresistive sensors (8) are connected to the end surface (2a) of the head (2) of the mushroom-shaped body (1) in correspondence with or adjacent the deformable wall (6) so that they can in turn be deformed as a result of the deformation of the wall. The sensors (8) are deposited on a thin plate (7) fixed to the upper surface of the head (2) of the mushroom-shaped body (1). The plate also carries the components (9) of the circuits for amplifying and processing the signals generated by the sensors (B). A metal structure (10,17) is also connected to the mushroom-shaped body (1) to screen it from radio-frequency interference.

Abstract: In one class of measuring devices, a rotary element, which is carried by a shaft, is driven at a constant speed of rotation and deflects the mass flow impinging axially on the rotary element radially, imparting to it in the process a tangential velocity component, is used for measuring a preferably heterogeneous mass flow. The torque dependent on the mass flow is measured at the shaft. For this purpose, a first spur gear attached to the shaft is provided, the said gear being in engagement with a second spur gear. The second spur gear is mounted in a carrier element which, for its part, is mounted to allow rotation about the axis of the shaft and is held firmly in its position by a force-sensing device. To improve the measuring sensitivity, the second spur gear has a second tooth engagement, opposite to the first spur gear, with an internally toothed gearing, which is likewise mounted to allow rotation about the axis of the shaft and is made to rotate by a driving pinion. A rotational body made to rotate in the same direction as the shaft is furthermore frictionally connected to the carrier element and/or the first spur gear. The strength of the hydrodynamic frictional engagement is adjusted so that the frictional torques of the first and second spur gear are compensated by the frictional torque of the frictional engagement.
