Abstract: The invention provides a process for reducing to metallic form a metal oxide present in spent nuclear fuel, the process comprising cathodically electrolysing the actinide oxide in the presence of a molten salt electrolyte, the potential of the cathode being controlled so as to favour oxygen ionisation over deposition of the metal from the cations present in the molten salt. The invention allows for the reduction of the metal oxide to a metallic form by the use of a single electrochemical process, with oxygen being produced as the only by-product.

Abstract: A method is for feeding a gas into a metallurgical vessel having a condensable and/or evaporable component entrained by the gas. The gas is fed to the metallurgical vessel via one or more gas supply means. According to the method, if there are a number of the gas supply means, in a first section, the gas velocity is continuously increased, in a turbulence zone, the gas is intimately mixed with the condensable and/or evaporable component, in an exit section, the gas velocity is kept substantially constant, and the gas which has been intimately mixed with the entrained component is blown into the metallurgical vessel. A gas supply device for carrying out the method is also disclosed. The method and apparatus according t the invention make it possible to prevent or reduce nozzle damage.

Abstract: A system and method for forming a three-dimensional wireform for heart valves from a two-dimensional starting shape. The wireform has multiple arcuate cusps and oppositely directed commissure tips therebetween, the cusps and commissure tips being oriented generally in a tube about an axis. The two-dimensional wire has three cusps and two commissure tips, with two free ends having bent segments. The wireforming system and process holds the commissure tips, or one commissure tip and one bent segment, and forms the cusp therebetween. The wire is held by two axially-parallel mandrels and cooperating clamps which axially rotate and move toward one another. A forming surface on each mandrel bends one half of the cusp, the forming surfaces being mirror images of one another. The forming surface has a complex curvature specifically designed to shape a particular size of wireform into a desired final three-dimensional shape. After bending all the cusps, the free ends of the wire are joined, such as with a tubular crimp, and the wireform assembled into a tissue-type heart valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of composite insulators consisting of a shank in the form of a bar or a tube, which is provided with a covering and which comprises plate-like screens which are distanced from each other. The covering and the screens are made of an elastomer material with high insulating qualities. As a result, the number, distance, form and size of the screens can vary from insulator to insulator. According to the invention, at least one injection mould ( 10 a , 10 b, 11 a , 11 b , 12 a , 12 b , 13 a , 13 b) for injecting a screen ( 2, 3, 4, 5, 19, 20, 21, 22 ) is arranged downstream from a device which is used to provide the shank ( 1 ) with a covering. The injection mould can be advanced in order to inject a screen upon the shank and opened in order to unmould said screen. An advancing device is also provided in order to displace ( 16 ) the shank ( 1 ) or the screen mould. Each time the shank ( 1 ) or the screen mould is displaced, the position of the latter with respect to the shank enables a subsequent screen to be injected.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un tuyau d'aspiration (10) qui présente des coques (11a, b). Selon l'invention, ce tuyau d'aspiration a des surfaces d'assemblage (19) dont   la géométrie prend, dans des zones de faible inclinaison par rapport à la force d'assemblage (F), un profil approximativement graduel. On obtient ainsi des zones de plus grande ou de faible inclinaison par rapport à une ligne d'assemblage (16) qui donne l'inclinaison moyenne des surfaces d'assemblage. On obtient ainsi des zones qui, en raison de leur forte inclinaison par rapport à la force d'assemblage, peuvent être soudées avec une grande solidité. Ainsi les zones s'appuient avec une très faible inclinaison par rapport à la force d'assemblage (F). Ainsi les coques (11a, b) peuvent présenter des surfaces d'assemblage fortement incurvées, ce qui augmente la liberté de conception de la géométrie du tuyau d'aspiration. Les tuyaux d'aspiration peuvent notamment être produits avec des canaux d'aspiration fortement incurvés, les canaux d'aspiration devant être composés seulement de deux coques.

Abstract: A method for determining the rotational position of a motor drive shaft includes counting detected ripples contained in a motor current signal as the shaft is driven. Whether a ripple expected to be contained in the current signal at a probable time is absent from within a tolerance band containing the probable time of the expected current ripple is determined. If the expected ripple is absent from within the tolerance band containing the probable time, then whether a ripple is detected after the tolerance band of the expected ripple is determined. If a ripple is detected after the tolerance band and the expected ripple is absent from within the tolerance band, then the expected ripple is counted as a detected ripple. The determined rotational position of the shaft is based on the counted ripples. The length of the tolerance band dynamically changes as a function of a motor operating state.
