Abstract: Système de traitement de données qui transporte des données à travers les étages successifs d'un pipeline. Chaque fois que cela est possible, les étages sont en mode transparent si bien que les données rendues disponibles peuvent voyager à travers le pipeline avec un minimum de retard. L'arrivée des données est signalée par un étage précédent par élévation du potentiel sur une connexion conductrice vers l'étage suivant. En réponse, l'étage commute vers un mode d'attente qui permet à de nouvelles données d'être rendues disponibles à son entrée, même avant que les données aient été transmises. L'étage élève le potentiel sur la connexion conductrice menant à l'étage suivant et rabaisse le potentiel sur la connexion conductrice menant à l'étage précédent, et définit également un registre. Le registre est remis à l'état initial et l'étage redevient transparent aussitôt qu'il reçoit un signal de réception de la part de son successeur, signifiant que les données ont été reçues. Aussi longtemps que le registre est à l'étage de définition, l'étage ne répond pas au fait que le potentiel sur la connexion menant à l'étage précédent devient élevé, à l'exception du fait que l'étage lui-même commence à garder élevé le potentiel sur la connexion.

Abstract: Air (3), carrying powder particles picked up by venturi action from an air-agitated reservoir, is diluted and/or accelerated on entry (21) by air injected via a central nozzle (25a), directed downstream. The stream then enters the annular passage (12) between concentric inner (14) and outer (13) tubes of insulating material. The former, plugged by conical entry (14b) and exit (14c) fairings, is supported by perforated spacer rings (19, 20). The tribo-electric charge, proportional to the injected control air-flow (25) is measured by the current collected by a conducting carbon-fibre tube (26) close-fitting over the outer insulated tube (13) and passed to earth (27, 28) via an external control unit, automatically adjusting the injected air-flow. The charged air-stream is finally projected through the end nozzle (18).

Abstract: A load control system preferably for hydraulic cranes comprising at least one relevant signalling device connected to a control unit which, by loading of the crane beyond its nominal load rate, operates a dump valve for deactivation of such functions in the manually operable control-valve assembly, which may be actuated to cause an increase of the load on the crane. The special feature of this load control system is that it operates according to an educational principle of collective "punishment", comprising a total inactivation of the functions of the crane in a penalty period in case of attempts to exceed the nominal load rate of the crane, within a safety margin. By an increasing load on the crane, the control system calculates new penalty periods and load rates beyond the nominal load rate within a safety margin, and the control system will induce a constantly increasing penalty period in response to the extent and number of excesses. The educational principle consists in that the risk of the release of a penalty will cause the operator to adopt a better feeling of how much the crane can be loaded within its nominal load rate.

Abstract: The invention relates to two-component polyurethane systems, consisting of one polyol component and one isocyanate component. Said polyol component contains at least two amines A1 and A2, the reactivity R1 of amine A1 with isocyanate being considerably greater than the reactivity R2 of amine A2 with isocyanate. As a result, two time-delayed reactions take place. This gives the inventive systems the desired low level of viscosity, and the thixotropic properties which prevent even thick layers from sliding off of vertical surfaces. The inventive two-component polyurethane systems can be used for producing cubing models, master models and similar in the automobile industry and for producing structured bodies and thick films and sealing beads.
