Abstract: A digitally controlled machine for bending, forming, or curving raw parts, such as rods, wires or profiled sections, comprises a conventional main frame (1) and a rotating bending head capable of bending articles in different planes. The rod (4) is horizontally displaced along a transport axis (5) by a feed station, located upstream, and is brought through a bending shank (7) borne by the main frame (1). The rod is then brought through a lathe (10) of the bending head. The lathe is formed by a bending roll (8) and a folding pin (9), and is capable of rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis of rotation aligned with the axis of the bending roll (8). The bending shank (7) is movably mounted in translation in a transport axis (5) and is continuously displaced between one or more projecting bending positions wherein the shank is proximate to the roll (8) and one or more retracted positions, facing upstream, which completely clear the bending zone between the lathe and the main frame.

IPC: B61L25/02

Abstract: A system which can easily and cheaply be installed to an existing rail infrastructure is disclosed which seeks to avoid the likelihood of train collisions. Each train travelling on a network is provided with a means for determining its own position (such as a GPS receiver) and a means for communicating with a central controller. The train's position is communicated to the central controller and the central controller uses this information to work out where each train is located on the network. Velocity and acceleration information are obtained by monitoring the train's position over time and predictions are made as to the future position of each of the trains on the network. If the future position of any of the trains is determined to be in a range which at least partially overlaps a range of future positions for another train then a collision warning is sent to one or both trains. This warning could trigger the train to stop automatically or for the driver to apply the breaks. Successive re-start signals are then sent so that the trains may continue on their journey without likelihood of collision.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil lumineux électronique destinée idéalement à être utilisée dans les signaux de signalisation comprenant une contre-réaction optique qui permet d'obtenir une sortie lumineuse constante, de préférence par détection de la lumière diffuse provenant d'un diffuseur centré au-dessus d'un réseau de diodes électroluminescentes.  La logique de contrôle permet d'exciter les diodes électroluminescentes individuellement et de modifier leurs caractéristiques d'excitation au fil du temps afin d'assurer la production d'un faisceau lumineux uniforme avec une intensité répondant aux normes du DOT américain (Department of Transportation), pendant toute la durée de vie utile du dispositif.  La contre-réaction optique établit également un niveau d'intensité de faisceau uniforme en fonction de la lumière ambiante captée afin d'établir une distinction entre fonctionnement diurne et nocturne.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité d'un véhicule moteur pourvu d'un air-bag fixé sur une sangle d'un dispositif de ceinture de sécurité. On a conçu l'air-bag de manière que lorsque la sangle est utilisée et que l'air-bag est gonflé, celui-ci présente à l'avant du point central deux dimensions de sangle. La première dimension représente la distance qui est mesurée parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule et qui s'étend du point central de la sangle à la partie la plus avancée de l'air-bag à l'avant du point central de la sangle, et la seconde dimension représente l'épaisseur verticale la plus importante du coussin gonflé à l'avant du point central. On a conçu l'air-bag de manière qu'au moins une de ces deux dimensions augmente conjointement à l'accroissement de la distance du point médian de la sangle à partir d'une des sangles sur une portée d'ajustement importante de la sangle.

Abstract: During the polishing of a wafer 2, the wafer 2 is illuminated with measuring
light emitted from a light source 21, and the spectroscopic intensity of the reflected
light is detected by a linear sensor 31. The signal processing part 11 monitors the
polishing state of the wafer 2 on the basis of detection signals from the sensor 31,
and detects the polishing endpoint of the wafer 2. The shutter mechanism control
part 14 controls the motor 13b of the shutter mechanism 13 in response to the
polishing endpoint detection signal from the signal processing part 11, and causes a
light blocking member 13a to advance into the light path of the measuring light, so
that the measuring light is blocked with respect to the wafer 2. As a result, the
effect of the measuring light used for the monitoring of the polishing state on the
object of polishing can be reduced.

Abstract: In an apparatus, such as a fuser for xerographic printing, wherein
sheets (S) pass through a nip formed by two moving rollers (108,110), a substantially
enclosed, effectively funnel-shaped path is defined to direct sheets (S) from the
nip to a subsequent processing station. When a jam condition occurs in the
path, a movable surface (10) defining the path moves to increase a size of the
path. The increase in size prevents impaction of subsequent sheets entering
the path, and also facilitates manual jam clearance.
