Abstract: A method for interrelating safety related documents of a production plant,
in particular a nuclear power plant, characterised in that said method
comprises the following steps:
     identifying activity sources producing an output product which could
cause a harmful impact on the environment as well as barriers
surrounding said activity sources;   establishing a fault tree following a cause/consequence activity
release path along which the output product would reach said
environment, said fault tree comprising said barriers and a set of logic
gates and being established by progressive identification along said
path of failure causes which could cause the considered barrier to
release said output product, each logic gate comprises the logical
operator defining the logical link between the failure causes
associated with the considered barrier; and   
forming said documents by linking to each gate a description of said
failure causes of the associated gate and at least one functional
requirement field describing functions required for eliminating said failure
cause.

Patent EP-0936381-A1 (EP)
Inventor: PAPANICOLAOU JOHN
IPC: F16H29/04
Filed: 1998-02-10
Abstract: Continuously variable transmission system that is capable of gradually
and smoothly multiplying TORQUE while decreasing RPM and vice-versa.
The infinitely and continuously variable TORQUE and RPM ratios are
produced by causing a central assembly including a hub having one, two,
three or more co-axial opposing pairs of short shafts (7,8,9,10) which
share the same plane with each other and with the hub's
multi-directional center and which are radially and symmetrically
mounted on its outer perimeter, to oscillate around some or all of such
short shaft axes. Each short shaft coaxially carries at its outer end a
one-way clutch assembly that engages in one rotational direction of its
carrying short shaft and disengages its carrying short shaft in the
other direction. All such freewheels are in turn continuously and
uni-directionally engaged to a common rotatable output gear (52) which
is caused to rotate through a simultaneous combination of the short
shaft oscillations and their one way engagement/disengagement freewheel
action. The central assembly is caused to oscillate either through
gradually pivoting a rotating swash plate (1) co-centrally mounted to
and pressing against the oscillating central assembly (5) through a
thrust bearing (4) or through gradually pivoting while rotatably
displacing one pivotable and rotatably displacable yoke with respect to
a second fixed and opposing yoke, wherein the yokes are connected to
each other through the oscillating central assembly's short shafts.

Title: Imaging system
Inventor: FREEMAN KENNETH L
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: A gantry ( A ) has a bore defining a first patient examination region ( 12 ). A first x-ray
source ( B ) is mounted to a frame ( C ) for rotation around the examination region ( 12 ).
An arc of first radiation detectors ( 14 ) detects x-rays which have traversed the
examination region. A first image reconstruction processor ( 18 ) reconstructs a
tomographic image representation from signals generated by the first radiation detectors.
An angiographic device ( D ) is positioned remote from the gantry along a longitudinal axis
( 25 ) for generating and displaying angiographic image representations on a display
monitor ( 46 ). A second examination region is defined along the longitudinal axis ( 25 )
between a second x-ray source ( 36 ) and an image intensifier tube ( 38 ). A second
processor ( 44 ) reconstructs the angiographic projection image representations from signals
generated by the image intensifier tube ( 38 ). A C-arm ( 30 ) can be suspended from an
overhead track for supporting the second x-ray source ( 36 ) and the image intensifier tube
( 38 ). A common patient support ( 24-28 ) extends along the longitudinal axis between the
gantry and the angiographic device for positioning a patient within the first and second
examination regions. The patient support includes a slide mechanism which permits the
patient support to be retracted from the gantry. The processors ( 18, 44 ) can be a
incorporated into a single controller which fuses or combines an image generated by the
angiographic imaging subsystem with an image generated by the tomographic imaging
subsystem.

Abstract: An electrical surge arrester is manufactured by securing a stack of metal oxide varistor blocks between end terminations by passing a rod through through-holes in the varistor blocks and securing the ends of the rod to the end terminations. The through-holes are larger than the rod cross-section and a silicone rubber material is injected into the void which otherwise would exist between the rod and the interior surfaces of the through-holes in the varistor blocks. The silicone rubber material is also moulded around the exterior of the stacked varistor blocks and forms a shedded external housing for the arrester. The silicone rubber coatings on the varistor block internal and external surfaces effects a passivation function and means that the passivation coatings normally provided on the surfaces of varistor blocks by their manufacturers at significant cost can be omitted.
