Abstract: A susceptometer for non-invasive determination of iron concentration in a body, by detecting the magnetic flux variation produced by the body. The susceptometer comprises a heat insulating case ( 16 ), containing a support structure that defines a screening region ( 8, 10 ). The structure supports an alternating magnetic field source, which is able to generate a magnetic field in the screening region, and at least two magnetic field sensors ( 4, 6 ), disposed in front of the field source ( 2 ). Means ( 12, 14 ) for introducing the body to be measured in the screening region ( 8, 10 ), temperature-control means, for stabilizing temperature inside the case, so as to limit relative variation to a predetermined maximum value, and means for processing electric signals indicative of the variation in the magnetic field linked to the sensor, which variation is caused by the screened body, in the screening region, are further provided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a board turner (1, 31) for use on a conveyor (3) for transporting large volumes of boards. The conveyor (3) defines a plane for carrying boards (14) and the board turner (1, 31) has a rotation unit (4) and a gripping unit (7) mounted on the rotation unit (4). The gripping unit (7) has an open position and a closed position and is switchable between these positions in response to a signal from a sensor. In the open position, the gripping unit (7) rotates past the carrying plane without making contact with the synchronously arriving board (14). A signal from the sensor switches the gripping unit (7) between the open position and the closed position while the gripping unit (7) grips two opposite surfaces of a sideways extending part of the board (14) and continues to rotate above the belt conveyor (3) in order to turn the board (14) in this way. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The offset press includes an extended nip and roller unit (17, 19) through which the fibrous web (8) runs.  The extended nip unit comprises a heated hard roller (20) and a flexible pressure component (23) which exert a pressure of 1-10 N/mm2 in the nip. One side of the fibrous web is subjected to greater de-watering treatment with felt belts (6, 7, 16) ahead of the extended nip. It is this side which contacts the hard roller. The hard roller surface temperature is no less than the plasticization temperature of the fibrous web running through the extended nip. The pressing component of the extended nip has a surface roughness lower than that of the felt belts (6, 7, 16) of the preceding presses (10-12, 13, 18) by a factor of at least 10 times. The pressing component is heated, at least on the side facing the nip. Preceding presses dry the fibrous web to a moisture content no less than 40%, before entry into the extended nip. The nip length, measured along the web, is 50 mm. The pressing component is a shoe roller with a surrounding casing. This is flexible, and may be sufficiently flexible to rotate around the rollers (31). A pressure shoe (25) presses it towards the hard roller.

Abstract: In a paper manufacturing process a wet web of paper or carton (16) passes (L) through a drying section (14) with a number of drying groups (10, 12) of which one is arranged in two rows. The web passes from a single-row drying group (10) through a transition zone (I) to a twin-row drying group (12).  In an alternative embodiment the wet web passes from a single-row drying group through a transition zone (II) to two immediately sequential twin-row drying groups (12). Web material (16) in a transition zone (I, II) passes through a drying sieve (18) in the next twin-row drying group (12, 30) directly from the last drying cylinder (20) in the preceding drying group (10, 20). Web material (16) in the upper drying sieve (18) is passed to the subsequent twin-row drying group (12). In each case, web material is supported by a suction box (22) as it passes through a transition zone between two drying groups (10, 12)

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour rectifier un élément de machine (17) constitué de deux parties axiales (18, 19) et d'une partie médiane (20) de diamètre D nettement supérieur. La partie médiane (20) comporte une surface active (22) présentant sur une partie la forme d'un cône tronqué (21) plat. Pour usiner la quantité à rectifier (25) sur la surface active (22), l'élément de machine (17) est inséré entre des extrémités (6, 7) de tiges (4, 5), la tige (5) disposée au niveau de la contre-pointe (3) étant soutenue par une lunette (27). L'élément de machine (17) est déplacé dans le sens de son axe longitudinal (23) et la ligne de contact (28) de sa surface active (22) est approchée contre la meule (15). Il est ainsi possible de réaliser un meulage vertical avec le contour extérieur cylindrique de la première meule (15), la vitesse de coupe sur l'ensemble de la surface axiale de la première meule (15) étant constante, d'où une rectification de très bonne qualité. La première meule (15) et une deuxième meule (16) plus étroite sont logées mobiles sur une broche porte-meule (14). Faire pivoter cette broche (14) autour de deux axes mutuellement perpendiculaires et déplacer ladite broche (14) perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal (23) permet de mettre la deuxième meule (16) en une position de travail, dans laquelle les parties extérieures cylindriques de l'élément de machine sont usinées par meulage longitudinal, l'élément de machine (17) restant alors dans la même fixation. Le procédé de l'invention permet d'exécuter un très bon meulage à des cadences de production plus rapides.

Abstract: An apparatus dynamically assigns external home agent (HA) (54) for VPNs and a method for the same is proposed. The apparatus establishes VPN between an internal network and at least one external network, whereby a mobile node (MN) (80) can roam in the external network with security. The external HA (54) closest to the MN (80) in the visited external network is selected for mobility management of the MN (80). The MN (80) only needs to register with the same external HA (54) when roaming in the same external network. The handoff latency and end-to-end latency for a roaming MN (80), therefore, could be reduced significantly. It will also not reestablish the IPsec tunnel within the same external network.
