Abstract: A double spectrograph system is disclosed. An entrance slit receives and passes light to be analyzed. A first focusing diffraction grating receives that light. A second focusing diffraction grating receives light reflected by the first focusing diffraction grating. The first and second focusing diffraction gratings both have the characteristic of forming planar substantially anastigmatic spectra. Mounting means keeps the first and second gratings at positions symmetrical about an imaginary plane and with their respective focal planes substantially coincident with each other and the imaginary plane. An exit slit receives the light after it has been reflected by the first grating to the second grating and from the second grating to the exit slit.

Abstract: An encoding method in transmitting a plurality of parallel, independent and asynchronous data channels, each of which after encoding into serial from is to be supplied to an optical transmitter before transmission over a fibre-optic cable. The parallel data channels (D1-D4) are over-sampled, i.e. they are sampled several times per time slot and are time multiplexed in a series of frames (R1,R2,R3,...) the channels in one frame (R1) being retained with their true values (D1-D4) and in the successive frame (R2) being given their inverted values (D1-D4). In addition there are inserted fixed synchronizing bits (F1,F2) and a bit (T1) which alternates between a logical 0 and a logical 1, depending on whether the true or inverted values of the data channels occur in the frames. A parallel-series converter for carrying out the encoding method is described.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for automatically controlling the welding condition or the welding torch position in arc welding which makes use of a welding power source of constant-voltage or constant-current type. The apparatus has an oscillator (6) for superposing an AC-signal of a predetermined frequency to the arc and a detector (7-10) for detecting the arc sound pressure level corresponding to the frequency of the superposed signal. This apparatus is capable of accurately detecting the arc length or a horizontal position of the welding torch by a simple method without being substantially affected by the noises produced by the arc. Control of the torch position, as well as welding conditions such as welding current, arc voltage and so on, can be precisely performed by making use of the detection of the arc length.

Abstract: In a directional valve for controlling a hydraulic cylinder, especially in a hydraulic lifting mechanism for lifting, lowering and holding an operating device, having a seat valve (38) which can be hydraulically relieved of stress and whose stress relief hole (37) is controlled by means of a spool edge (35) on the servo valve spool (18), the stress relief hole (37) applies a lateral load on to the servo valve spool (18) which leads to increased sliding friction and increased leakage via the stress relief hole (37). To prevent these disadvantages, by means of design measures in the housing hole (17) in the region of the opening of the stress relief hole (37), the surface section (45), opposite to the stress relief hole (37), of the servo valve spool (18) is subjected to a pressure (pK) which is adjusted such that the radial compression force on the servo valve spool (18) compensates at least partially for the lateral force exerted by the pressure on the stress relief hole opening on to the servo valve spool (18). The compensation pressure (pK) is generated by means of the leakage flow on the stress relief hole (37). <IMAGE>

The ends of the assembly are formed by terminals (15, 16) groov­ed only on their inner faces. The parts can be sealed together with glass paste, and gas supply lines (23-26, Fig 5) are provided externally. 
     When the cell is heated at 1000  o C and H₂ and O₂ are supplied to the anodes and cathodes, a current is generated between the terminals (15, 16). 
     The cells are simple of low internal resistance and efficient in operation.

IPC: G01S7/52

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically con­trolling the depth of earth grading for utilization with a grader or paver (30) is disclosed. The method includes determination of time taken for an acoustic pulse to travel from a transducer (10) to a reference surface and back, with this value being used to calibrate a microprocessor-controlled distance-measuring device (100). As the grader moves over a surface to be graded, the dis­tance to the reference surface is constantly detected by a repeated emission and detection of such acoustic pulses. The timing of the echoed pulses is converted to addresses in a look-up table which contains control words symbolizing commands to be given to hydraulic rams carried by the grader. By implementing these commands, the depth of the blade (40) relative to the reference surface is constantly updated, compensating for variations with the height of the reference surface. A thermistor is provided to automatically compensate for temperature variations as the grading takes place. Displays are provided for the operator of the vehicle to show what type of adjustments are being made to the blade, and whether the height of the reference surface is outside the range of sensitivity of the follower. The follower is automatically calibrated for a given blade depth by repeated incrementation of a delay time variable until a zero adjustment command is generated for the blade control.
