Patent FR-2241447-A1 (FR)
Title: Tanker propellor shaft assembly - shaft bearings are inside shaft seals for simple replacement
IPC: B63H23/32
Filed: 1973-08-20
Abstract: The stern shaft bearings are located near the propeller. At the point where the shaft emerges from the stern post, the gland consists of a sleeve on the shaft and two rotating seal faces, separated by a stationary seal face which is locked into position by a plate. The bearings and seals are arranged for pressure lubrication. The shaft assembly is fitted with a lifting jack which supports the shaft and propeller, thus releasing the pressure on the bearings and stern gland. This reduces the time taken for replacement. The jack acts at the centre of gravity of the shaft. The seal may be replaced without the ship docking.

Patent FR-2278478-A1 (FR)
Title: Temp control of a valved injection moulding nozzle - using valve core heaters to compensate for adaptor heat losses
IPC: B29C45/23
Filed: 1974-06-04
Abstract: Nozzle adaptor incorporating a self-closing valve for an injection moulding machine, comprises a cylindrical body drilled to accommodate a spring-loaded needle which can block the outlet of a conical chamber fitted on the end of the adaptor. The adaptor incorporates indep. controlled heaters fitted both within the needle and in recesses within the body of the adaptor. Passages through the adaptor convey the moulding matl. from the plasticisation unit around the needle spring chamber to the outlet chamber. Local temp. control with positive heating in the vicinity of the valve avoids setting up of matl. within the adaptor between shots without requiring the melt to be excessively heated prior to leaving the plasticisation chamber to compensate for heat losses from the valved adaptor. By maintaining heat from the core of the outlet chamber, the matl. adjacent the outlet surface can be the least warm, hence is less likely to leak than with adaptors heated externally.

Title: Rolling steel bars with small number of passes - using row of stands, each contg. four rolls forming one rolling groove
Inventor: KISHIKAWA KANICHI
IPC: B21B1/18
Filed: 1975-05-30
Abstract: Rolling steel bars starting from a square or four-edged billet, comprises the use of a roll stand contg. four rolls where the four roll peripheries form one roll gap through which the billet passes for the simultaneous redn. of the four corner regions of the billet along the diagonals to form a square section with sides joining the middle of adjacent sides of the original billet; this redn. is repeated several times to obtain the final cross section, using roll stands which contain four rolls possessing profiled peripheries which form the rolling gaps. The average redn. in the cross section of the workpiece is 20-50%, and either two or all four rolls in each stand may be driven. Higher yields with higher average redn. are obtd. in a smaller number of passes, producing high quality bar steel with a good surface.

Title: Continuous activated sludge sewage treatment - with breakdown of soluble nitrates by bacteria in oxygen-deficient zone
IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 1975-07-18
Abstract: Raw liq. sewage is injected into a reservoir which provides a single horizontal closed llop path. The liq. circulates at a minimum speed of 0.8 ft/sec. to prevent settling out. The liq. is aerate to promote aerobic decompsn. and formation of nitrate cpds. The liq. is circulated for a distance until the liq. is substantially devoid of oxygen when it reaches again the point of raw sewage injection. The liq. containing nitrates and the raw sewage are circulated together for a second distance in which denitrification proceeds until it reaches the next point of aeration. Liq. is continuously removed for clarification at about the same rate as the rate of injection of raw sewage. A portion of the settled sludge is returned to the reservoir. The average retention time in the reservoir is 24 hrs. The second distance is at least 10% of the sum of the first and second distances. For treating sewage so that its organic contents are broken down and the nitrates so formed are further broken down into their basic elements.

Title: Acoustic polarimeter for measurement of mechanical strain - measures ellipticity of polarisation of polarised transverse acoustic waves
Inventor: ROBERT ANDRE
IPC: G01N29/07
Filed: 1976-03-11
Abstract: Polarised transverse acoustic waves are transformed into elliptic polarisation when they pass through an anisotropic elastic solid. The parameters of the ellipticity are measured to determine if mechanical strain is applied. A transmission transductor (2) is driven from a high frequency generator (8) whose frequency (f) is displayed (9). The waves are modulated (11) by low frequency (12) and pass through a quartz acoustic phase shifting blade (1). The waves pass through the sample (5) which causes orientation and phase shifting. The waves are received (6, 7) and processed (15) to suppress high frequency from the generator (8). The output is multiplied (16) by the modulating frequency and filtered (17) for indication (18).

Title: Mould for vehicle steering wheels - with inner and outer walls forming passage for circulation of thermal fluid
IPC: B29C33/04
Filed: 1976-05-20
Abstract: Mould for mfg. vehicle steering wheels is mfd. by casting an Al-based alloy in a ceramic mould, and comprises inner and outer walls defining between tehm a passage for circulation of thermal fluid, to allow development of the chemical reaction of moulding to be controlled by action on the temp. of the fluid.
