Patent EP-0845580-A2 (EP)
Inventor: INOMATA ASAKO
IPC: F02C7/18
Filed: 1994-12-27
Abstract: A heat transfer promoting structure for promoting heat
transfer between a heat transfer surface and a cooling
medium. The structure comprises turbulence promoter elements
with ribs (94) crossing a flow direction (X) of the cooling
medium formed on the heat transfer surface in a projecting
manner. The shape of the projecting ribs and/or preferably
triangular notches (96) formed at an edge portion of the ribs
serve as vortex producing elements efficiently producing a
pair of longitudinal vortexes of which each vortex rotates in
an opposite direction along a flow direction of the cooling
medium. Thereby a strong turbulence is created near the heat
transfer surface. As a result, the heat transfer efficiency
is enhanced and the pressure loss of the flow of the cooling
medium is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for
reading from and/or writing to optical recording media
(4), which has a tracking unit (13), a four-quadrant
detector (5), two summation points (15, 16) and a phase
comparator (20) for tracking in accordance with the

interference signal generating unit (22) is present
whose output is connected to the tracking unit (13) and
to a first input of the control unit (24), the second
input of which is connected to the output of the phase
comparator (20). 
     The present invention is suitable for devices
for reading from and/or writing to optical recording
media, such as CD, CDI, CD-ROM, DVD, CDR, magneto-optical
recording media and the like.

Abstract: The seat surface for the valve ball (1) in the conical valve seat (3) has an annular circular arc shaped longitudinal section and is worked into the conical surface by fine finishing work. The radius of the circular arc forming the seat surface is larger than the radius of the valve ball. The trough-shaped indentation of the seat surface is measured, so that, measured in cross-section, any deviations in the shape of the conically finished valve seat from the circular form are eliminated at least in the apex area of the arc seat surface. An Independent claim describes a method for producing a sealing seat by using a cylindrical grinding block to finish the seat, in which the tool holder and workpiece holder rotate in opposite directions.

Abstract: To produce analyzing materials, especially test strips for fluid samples with an active capillary zone, a carrier layer (1) is prepared and a spacer layer (2) is laminated over one surface. A contour is cut, stamped or embossed from the laminated material to match the shape of the capillary-active zone (8), and any surplus spacer layer material is peeled away from the zone. A covering layer (11) is applied over the spacer layer to give the zone with an active capillary action. The spacer layer is a strip which is adhesive on both sides. The covering layer is in one or more parts, and is at least partially of an analysis indication film as described in P19629656.0. The spacer layer is laminated in place directly before the shape of the capillary active zone is cut. The removal of spacer layer material not required to form the capillary zone is directly after cutting. The carrier, spacer and the covering layers are prepared as ribbon materials. The contour is cut by a rotary cutting roller, in a continuous cut against a counter roller. After the covering layer has been applied, the strips are separated by cutting or stamping.

Abstract: A waste disposal process and assembly separates and processes different classes of materials including contaminated materials and yields gas for chosen applications. The process employs piston engine or gas turbine exhaust gases in which virtually the entire mechanical, thermal and sound energy, and germ-killing exhaust gases, separation coolants, sterilization and/or fresh gases are employed. The gases are employed in conjunction with additional microwave and sound emissions, radiation emissions, magnetic fields, fluidized flow separators, electrical energy and electrostatic arrangements. Preferred Process: Compressed material is released through a gas lock into an exhaust pipe containing a turbine which drives a particle shredder. Plastic is melted, material strength is reduced, and glass vessels break. Residual materials are sterilized and reduced to about 10 per cent of their original volume in an oxygen-poor environment. The assembly is suitable for both mobile and stationary operation.
