Abstract: A process for forming a unidirectionally oriented fiber structure formed of high tenacity fibers. A plurality of yarns of high tenacity fibers are supplied, with the yarns being unidirectionally oriented. The yarns are coated with a liquid having a viscosity of about 5 to about 600 centipoises and tension is applied to the yarns. The yarns are passed through a fiber spreading device and the yarns are dried. The yarns are reduced in thickness and increased in width after passing through the fiber spreading device, with the fibers forming the yarns being spread apart, thus providing a relatively thin unidirectionally oriented fiber structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-efficiency beam shutter and beam splitter system for synchrotron radiation, said system comprising a longitudinal axis corresponding to the beam axis of the synchrotron radiation during operation, and at least two synchrotron radiation absorbers comprising absorption surfaces inclined towards the longitudinal axis and used to receive the grazing incidence of the synchrotron radiation. The synchrotron radiation absorbers are arranged symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal axis and are mechanically coupled in such a way that they can move in relation to each other in a symmetrically contrarotating movement perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and can be adjusted by a single controllable drive such that a gap of a variable width can be defined by the absorption surfaces thereof. According to the invention, the two synchrotron radiation absorbers (1, 2) are carried by two precision elevating platforms (10, 20) which each have a drive wedge (12, 22) that can be horizontally displaced therein, and a complementary, vertically mobile elevating wedge (14, 24) carrying the associated synchrotron radiation absorbers. The precision elevating platforms (10, 20) face each other in the direction (3) of the longitudinal axis, the drive wedges (12, 22) thereof being oriented away from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis and interconnected by a tappet (30), the position of which can be adjusted in the direction of the longitudinal axis by a drive (34, 36), such that the elevating wedges (14, 24) of the precision elevating platforms can be vertically contrarotated by displacing the tappet (30) in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A control system for a motor, including a first detector providing signals indicative of the sign and zero-crossings of a supply voltage, and a second detector providing signals indicative of the sign and the zero-crossings of BEMF developed in the stator winding. A switch is driven to cause a first current pulse through the winding at a first delay relative to the zero-crossing of the supply voltage. The system checks if the BEMF has a first zero-crossing within a predetermined period of time preceding a third zero-crossing of the voltage, and if so, causes an opposite second current pulse through the winding with a second delay relative to the third zero-crossing of the supply. If not, the first current pulse is repeated, reducing or increasing the duration of the first delay if the first zero-crossing of the BEMF took place after or before the predetermined period of time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous dry spinning process for preparing a fiber from a polymer solution having concentrations of polymer, salt, solvent and water. After the fiber is extruded and quenched, the fiber is placed in contact with a conditioning solution comprising concentrations of solvent, salt, and water. The conditioning solution acts upon the fiber to plasticize the fiber prior to being drawn. The conditioning solution has concentrations of solvent, salt, and water so that the fiber is plasticized to the extent necessary for drawing but does not plasticize the fiber to such an extent as to re-dissolve the fiber into a polymeric solution. A heat-treated fiber manufactured from this process has improved shrinkage and can be colored to darker shades.
