Abstract: At least some of the segments (2) of the stent (1) are interconnected by first bridge elements (3) extending in the general direction of the longitudinal axis (z) of the stent and having at least one end connected to the concave or inside portion (5) of a respective loop (6) so that, during the radial expansion of the stent, the axial contraction of the segments (2) resulting from the opening-out of the respective loops is compensated by axial projection of the bridge elements (3, 4; 30) from the respective concave portions (5). The first bridge elements (3) have opposite ends aligned in the direction of the longitudinal axis (z) of the stent, the two opposite ends being connected to respective concave portions (5) of respective loops of the two segments (2) connected thereby, so that the two segments (2) constitute a section of stent which does not contract substantially longitudinally during radial expansion. Second bridge elements (4') are also provided connecting two adjacent sections of the stent, the second bridge elements (4') connecting convex loop portions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A corkscrew (10) has a handle (12) mounted to a screw stem (14) rotatably guided within a cap (18) which contains upper ends of two prongs (40). These have semi-circular lower ends (48) that surround a screw (16) and comprise inner shoulder stops (64) for engaging on a bottle-neck; upper prong ends (42) are articulated to a core unit (20) having a guide bush (22) for the screw stem (14). Cap (18) may be integral with the handle (12) or the latter may be screw-fitted to a tapped stem (84) guided by the cap (18). Bearing means for the upper prong ends (42) on which expanding springs (56) bear find stops at a lower peripheral edge of cap (18). A lug (50) supports each upper prong end (42) on a pin (34) that traverses a guiding cheek (30) on the guide bush (22). Radial bell ribs (44) have lower leading edges (45) in each central portion (46) of the prongs (40). Various screw types can be exchangeably used; preferred is a bladed type (16; 16') having wide sharp flares or a round wire hollow helix (16''), either ending in a pointed tip (78). A sleeve (80) may be put first over a captive screw 16' whereupon the screw top can be mounted to handle (12); a widened lower screw end cannot pass beyond sleeve (80) and is thus movably retained therein. The screw (16, 16'; 16'') made of steel may be surface-treated for minimum friction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves placing the rail (3) on a level fixed base (1) so that it lies loosely on it and does not have mating shapes. The rail has cross ties (2) which form openings (61) between them which are at least partly filled with intermediate precast concrete bodies (4). The cross ties are separated from the concrete bodies by elastic acoustic material joints. The cross ties have a variable width along their length. The concrete bodies in the openings between the rails are placed loose on the base with a clearance gap (43) next to the rail. This forms gaps between them and the ties, which are filled with a foam type plastics for alignment of the rail.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un produit moulé par soufflage. Ce produit présente généralement une forme tubulaire, et une première et une deuxième extrémités ouvertes (12, 14) ainsi qu'une section de soufflet (16) placé entre ces première et deuxième extrémités (12, 14), de telle sorte que le produit obtenu est flexible. Ce produit comporte également une jupe (82) adjacente à une des deux extrémités (12, 14). La section de soufflet (16) est formée au cours d'une opération de moulage par soufflage, et la section de jupe (82) est formée par moulage par compression. Un mode de réalisation préféré du produit comporte une nervure (40) qui s'étend à l'intérieur de la paroi de la section moulée par soufflage pour renforcer la zone de transition (42) entre la section de soufflet et la section de jupe  (82) moulée par compression. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à placer une paraison (80) dans un moule (50) et à introduire une partie centrale (74) dans la paraison (80) dans le moule. Cette partie centrale (74) déplace le matériau thermoplastique de manière axiale, et éventuellement, dans un sens radial et circonférentiel. Ce procédé permet de mouler un produit avec une surface externe qui peut être sensiblement cylindrique et dont la surface interne possède des lobes (126), des nervures (40, 128, 136) ou d'autres projections internes.

Abstract: An improvement in the preparation of fiber preforms in which binder and fibers are dispersed to contact on vacuum-supplied screens is disclosed, comprising particularly (a) selecting a particulate binder material which is solid at 25 DEG  C; (b) heating the binder material, during initial contact with the fibers, to a viscosity and for a time which is the same as or proportional to 1,000 centipoise for one second; and (c) dispersing the binder material and the fibers such that the preform exhibits a variation in the ratio of fibers and binder which correlates to a coefficient of variation which is less than or equal to about 5 percent. The resulting preform shows superior compaction and uniformity of constitution even when it is prepared in sections or in asymmetric configurations. A wide variety of binders can be used, including thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, glasses, ceramics, metals, and the like, and the binder can also be selected from multi-component systems which are reactive with one another, such as epoxy-based systems, and/or reactive with a resin impregnant which may be subsequently introduced. In an alternative embodiment the preforms can be heated and pressed to make final composite articles, with or without direct application of a molding resin.

Abstract: When the platform hoist stops, the spindle (8) trap nut (9) is held with friction engagement to the braking element (16) and is flexibly loaded towards the element (16) so as to prevent the nut lifting more than a few 0.1 mm off the element during the hoist lift. The nut is raised off the element by automatically actuated adjusters (2,13) to allow the hoist to descend, and the nut rotates and axially adjusts on a guide (11) encircling the spindle (8). The spindle forms the piston rod of an hydraulic cylinder (6) which is used to carry both element (16) and nut (9). The nut is released by an hydraulic cylinder (13) and the nut or a co-rotating component passes signals to the travel path meter as coupled along with the meter of other hoists to a common regulating circuit used to operate the hoists in parallel.

Abstract: Oils, extracted from vegetables and animal tissues contain impurities such as waxes that can be removed in a refining process, including dewaxing of the oils that include removal of oils by filtration through membranes. During filtration, the impurities stick to the membranes, which causes a reduction in flux through the membranes. The initial top flux can be approached again by regularly cleaning the membranes including steps of: backblowing with gas, backflushing with edible oil, and treating the membranes with alkaline material. The cleaning method is particularly suitable for cleaning membranes in the form of microfilters having an average pore diameter of 0.5-5 mum, which are used in the refining process.
