Date Nov. 7, 1996A method for purifying iron carbide begins by feeding ore to a reaction chamber. A mixture of iron, iron oxides, gangue, and iron carbides is extracted from the reaction chamber. The temperature of the mixture is then adjusted to a range of 400 DEG -500 DEG  C. The mixture, at the adjusted temperature, is subjecting to a first magnetic field for separating the mixture into a magnetic fraction including iron and iron oxides from a non-magnetic fraction including gangue and iron carbides. This is followed by a cooling of the non-magnetic fraction of gangue and iron carbides below the Curie temperature of iron carbide. The gangue and iron carbides are subjecting to a second magnetic field for separating the iron carbides, that become magnetic, from the gangue that remains non-magnetic.

Abstract: The arrangement connects a device (DEV) to a conductive system bus(S-BUS) using a multiple plane plug device (SV) with at least three contact planes (SE2-4). One of these planes signals the start and another signals the end of a plug process. The supply voltage (VCC) for the device to be connected is conveyed via a contact plane (SE3) between the start and end planes (SE2,SE4). The supply voltages can be highly controlled for the device increasing up to an end value, in dependence on a control circuit (VCC-CTL). The signal effectively existing at the end of the plug process is first switched in an oscillating manner. Then it only changes into a permanent signal for signalling correct connection when the supply voltages (VCC) have reached their end value.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of quantitative and non-destructive measurement of fissile material based on fission induced by a pulsed neutron source. The method involves the use of a measurement head comprising a measurement chamber with the pulsed neutron source and a moderator jacket, a fission neutron counter system surrounding the jacket and consisting of a neutron moderator, neutron counter tubes and neutron filters as well as recording devices for measuring the neutron flux inside the measurement chamber and for measuring the relative strength of the pulsed neutron source. The jacket around the measurement chamber which is made from neutron-slowing materials and the neutron counter device are dimensioned so that the mean lifetime 1/ LAMBDA  of the neutrons produced by the pulsed source after being slowed in the measurement chamber is significantly greater than the lifetime l/ lambda  of the moderated fission neutrons in the fission neutron counter system. According to the invention, the induced fission events are correlated with the generated fission neutron signals by measuring the changes with time of the thermal neutron flux; the frequency distribution of the latter is measured in observation intervals that are periodically opened or opened by each respective fission neutron signal after each source pulse with an adjustable delay time, and the strength of the pulsed neutron source is adjusted in such a way that the correlated neutron signal pairs and triplets can be distinguished from uncorrelated pairs and triplets.

Abstract: Apparatus is described for controlling delivery of dangerous material, such as LPG, from a tanker 12 to a tank 14, through a pipe 16. A valve 18 is controlled by an arrangement 22. An operator 28 carries a radio transmitter 24 and must periodically transmit an appropriate signal to the control 22, otherwise the control 22 will time out and close the valve, also sounding an alarm. In accordance with the invention, the transmitter 24 is also provided with a timer, having a shorter count down time, and also re-set when the signal is sent to the control 22. The timer in the transmitter 24 alerts the operator 28 that a signal should be sent, giving the operator an opportunity to send a signal before the control 22 closes the valve 18. However, if the operator does not send a signal, or is incapable of doing so, the timer at 22 will assume that an emergency situation exists, and cease further delivery. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method for automatic regulation comprises the steps of: acquiring an image; attempting reading of at least one optical code in the acquired image; detecting characteristic quantities of the acquired image only if the reading has been successful; and carrying out a large number of acquisitions of different images, obtaining a significant statistical datum of the characteristic quantities. The controlled parameters of the optical system are modified on the basis of this statistical datum detected, to optimise the reading. The values of the controlled parameters are regulated continuously during the operation, thereby monitoring the variations of the characteristics of the reading system. If the relationship between each controlled parameter and the respective characteristic quantities is not monotonic, the current value of the controlled parameter is modified by at least one small positive deviation and one small negative deviation with respect to the current value; the value of the controlled parameter providing the best reading then becomes the central value for the successive readings. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An excavation bucket incorporating an impact actuator assembly is described herein. The excavation bucket includes a bucket body, a movable head, a movable floor portion mounted to the movable head and an impact actuator provided between and mounted to the bucket body and the movable head. The movable head is longitudinally movable in the bucket body. The movable head is provided with tools, such as teeth, to penetrate hard soils. These tools are slidably mounted in the movable head to reach a retracted position when they are pushed against hard soil. When the impact actuator is activated, the longitudinal impacts generated by the impact actuator drive the tools into the hard soil if the tools are in their retracted positions. However, if the impact actuator is activated while the tools are not in their retracted position, the longitudinal impacts will cause the repetitive longitudinal movements of the movable head and thus of the movable floor with respect to the bucket body.
