Title: Sabot for a projectile
IPC: F42B14/06
Filed: 1989-10-05
Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus which makes possible the loading and automatic firing in a weapon of an ammunition unit provided with a sabot (2a), without consequential deterioration of the ballistics of the ammunition unit. The apparatus comprises a unit consisting of a number of prismatic or cuneiform elements which together form a rotationally symmetrical body (3a) with an external surface (3a min ). This surface is truncated or curved and flares rearwardly from its leading portion. The apparatus also comprises a device (3b) enclosing these elements at the trailing portions of the body (3a), and unifying the elements on loading of the ammunition unit into the barrel of the weapon. The device also encloses the leading portions of the sabot. This device (3b) is arranged to burst on movement of the ammunition unit in the barrel. The elements will namely execute flip movements about their trailing portions which are defined by the inner wall of the barrel and entail that the rotationally symmetrical body is splayed forwardly, which facilitates parting of the elements with the aid of aerodynamic forces on departure of the unit from the barrel.

Patent EP-0460552-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01R27/26
Filed: 1991-05-31
Abstract: A coating thickness gauge includes a measurement transducer and a particularly advantageous probe arrangement. The probe arrangement includes a probe assembly and a probe housing that encircles the probe assembly. The probe assembly may include an inductor that forms a part of an LC oscillator. The gauge is able to measure the thickness of coatings on magnetic and non-magnetic substrates through use of the same probe assembly. Alternatively, the probe assembly can include a capacitor forming a part of an LC or an RC oscillator. The bottom surface of the probe housing has two oppositely positioned V-shaped grooves formed therein for facilitating the measurement of coating thicknesses on convex surfaces. The outer peripheral surface of the probe housing includes two spaced apart flat surfaces connected together by two arcuate surfaces for stabilizing the gauge during measurement of coating thicknesses on concave surfaces. The probe assembly is mounted within the gauge housing in a manner that is adapted to facilitate movement of the probe assembly in a substantially vertical plane. All functions of the gauge can be operated through the use of the two keys and the gauge only requires a zeroing adjustment rather than a several step calibration procedure. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for the analytical determination of the concentration of a part of a medical specimen
Inventor: SCHAEFER RAINER DR
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 1993-06-08
Abstract: Process for the analytical determination of the concentration of a component of a medical specimen, in which a reaction of the specimen with reagents leads to a time-dependent change S(t) in a measurand (measured value) S, and the concentration C is correlated in accordance with an evaluation curve C-(X) with an input variable X derived from S(t). The evaluation curve is multi-valent at least for some of the possible X-values. In order to assign an input variable X to one of the subregions and thereby to achieve a unique correlation with a specific concentration C, the following steps are carried out:   - During a training run, a discrimination algorithm is carried out at least once, in which measurements of S(t) are used to generate a discriminator set and from this a score is respectively calculated using a method of multivariate statistics, and it is checked whether the scores can be divided into separate subsets in which the concentrations are correctly assigned to the subregions of the calibration curve. The discrimination algorithm is repeated using different discriminator sets, generated from the measurements of S(t) in accordance with different generating methods, in order to establish an operative discrimination algorithm. - Measurements of S(t) are used in an analysis run to calculate in accordance with the operative discrimination algorithm an analysis score which is compared with the pivoting score, and the measurement result is assigned to one of the component curves of the calibration curve by comparison of the analysis score with the pivoting score.
