Patent EP-0751371-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SANCHEZ REVUELTA ANGEL LUIS
IPC: B61K9/12
Filed: 1996-06-21
Abstract: Installation and process for measuring rolling parameters by means of artificial vision on wheels of railway vehicles. The installation comprises a rolling steel slab (2) with its guard rail, a wheel-position sensor (9), a laser generator (5), a camera (6), a controller (10) for illuminating and capturing the image, artificial-vision electronic equipment (11), a control computer (8) and a monitor (13). An interior illumination mirror interacts with the laser generator to obtain the profile of the wheel. The process consists in causing the wheel to run on the steel slab, activating the position sensor, throwing out a beam of laser light onto the wheel and generating an image corresponding to its profile or to its diameter, capturing this image and sending it to the analysis equipment, and transmitting the results of the analysis to the computer for it to process them and visualize them on the monitor.

Abstract: Un genou artificiel comporte un premier et un second constituants de genou (L' et U') reliés de façon à pouvoir pivoter et un premier et un second constituants faisant office de freins (23 et 24) qui peuvent s'accoupler pour verrouiller ensemble les constituants du genou. Les premier et second constituants faisant office de freins (23 et 24) sont associés respectivement aux premier et second constituants du genou (L' et U'). Le second constituant frein (34) est constitué d'une matière susceptible de subir une déformation élastique. L'agencement est tel que, lorsque le genou artificiel est soumis à une première charge, les constituants freins (23 et 24) sont sensiblement libres de glisser l'un contre l'autre et, lorsque le genou artificiel est soumis à une seconde charge, plus importante que la première, le second constituant frein (34) subit une déformation élastique allant à l'encontre du mouvement du premier constituant frein (23) de façon à verrouiller ensemble les deux constituants freins, ce qui a pour effet de verrouiller ensemble également les deux constituants du genou. Les premier et second constituants freins (23 et 24) comportent des surfaces qui venant en contact l'une avec l'autre et qui sont inclinées par rapport à l'axe autour duquel les deux constituants du genou (L' et U') pivotent, et ces premier et second constituants freins constituent l'interconnexion assurant le pivotement entre les deux constituants du genou.

Abstract: This invention is for a method for varying the melting points and molecular weights of syndiotactic polyolefins by using metallocene catalysts with substituents on the aryl rings of a fluorene ligand in certain positions. Electron donating substituents, for example, dialkylamino, halogen, and alkoxy groups, when present on fluorene at C1, C2, C3 or C2 and C7 render the catalyst less active and decrease the polymer molecular weight. Electron donating substituents, such as alkyl, dialkylamino, halogen or alkoxy, at C4 not only increased the catalyst efficiency but also dramatically increased the polymer molecular weight. Bulky hydrocarbyl substituents, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl and aryl groups, at C2 and C7 increase the melting point. Bulky substituents such as hydrocarbyl groups like alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkoxy and dialkylamino groups etc., at C4/C5 decrease the melting point. When multiple substituents are present on fluorene, their effects are additive.

Abstract: An apparatus for operating a high intensity
discharge lamp that minimizes discharge arc curvature to form
a straight discharge arc and thereby eliminates variations in
the discharge arc color caused by cataphoresis is disclosed.
The apparatus outputs a synthesize wave having a waveform with
a frequency component of the acoustic resonance frequency to
excite a mode straightening the discharge arc, and a waveform

Abstract: The fluid flow is upwards so that dirt is collected in the bottom layer of the filter granules, which, in the conventional manner, is supported on a grid under which the raw fluid is introduced. When the granules require cleaning, raw fluid at slightly elevated pressure is passed through the grid to fluidise the fouled bottom layer (16) of the granule bed, which can then be withdrawn at (20) by a pump or compressed air. The material is then passed into a cleaning chamber (21) at the top of the filter so that the clean granules can be reintroduced over the top of the filter bed.

C from a relationship between the number of rotations of
photoreceptor drum (7) and the grid voltage of the electrostatic
charger (8) pre-stored in ROM (32), executes an image forming
process by setting the grid voltage derived to a high-voltage

Abstract: A gimbled camera (34) is attached to a moving body
(20) so that it can remain pointed at a desired target
(28) as the body (20) moves. A gyroscope (38) is attached
to the camera (34) so that it may move independently from
the camera (34), so that the gyroscope (38) continuously
points in one direction while the camera (34) moves
relative to the gyroscope (38). Measurement devices
determine the positions of the moving body (20) and
gyroscope (38) relative to the camera (34). The sum of
these measures yields the position of the target relative
to the gyroscope (38), which translates to a command to
point the gyroscope (38) at the target. The camera (34)
is then moved independently to a specified alignment
relative to the gyroscope (38).
