Abstract: A ferrophosphorus refining method entailing forming a ferrophosphorus melt and adding an oxidising agent to the melt to oxidise the impurities in the melt. The oxidised impurities then rise to the top of the melt and either go into the slag or escape in a gaseous form. The slag is removed and a refined ferrophosphorus is recovered. Suitable oxidising agent include solids such as ferrous oxide (Fe₂O₃), ferric oxide (Fe₃O₄), ferrous-ferric oxide (FeO), mill scale, limestone, dolomitic limestone, lime and any alkalide carbonate, and gaseous oxidising agents such as oxygen, air and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A switching circuit (8) selects a display control circuit (4) in an image display period, and selects a detection control circuit (5) in an x-coordinate detection period. A row electrode drive circuit (2) outputs row electrode scanning pulses in the image display period to sequentially scan row electrodes (G). A column electrode drive circuit (3) outputs column electrode scanning pulses in the x-coordinate detection period to sequentially scan column electrodes (S). A coordinate detection circuit (7) detects coordinates at a tip end of a detection pen (6) based on an induction voltage induced at a tip electrode of the detection pen (6) due to the scanning pulses. Thus by detecting a y-coordinate at the tip end of the electronic pen (6) in the image display period and detecting the x-coordinate in the x-coordinate detection period, a display-integrated type tablet device can achieve increase in area of its display screen, high productivity, cost reduction, and high coordinate detection accuracy.

Date Jul. 21, 1994An anti-fraud system for the dispatch of credit cards to customers, rendering the new card useless to anyone other than the intended customer. Validation of the new card is accomplished at any retail outlet by means of a timed sequence at the transaction processing computer which ensures that any first-time sales authorization request under the new card is followed immediately within a prescribed time interval by a reading of the old credit card number and expiry date. The system also operates if the old card is tendered first at a sales outlet after the new card has been issued. This unique sequence of events will then automatically invalidate the old card, validate the new card, and indicate to the card issuing company that the customer has acknowledged receipt of their new card. Since both the old, expiring card, and the new card are required in order to validate the new card, an unauthorized party in illegal possession of the new card only, cannot use it.

Abstract: L'utilisation industrielle et médicale de lasers pompés par décharge, tels que des lasers excimères, des lasers à vapeur métallique et des lasers à CO2 pulsés, a conduit à une demande pour des fréquences de répétition accrues afin d'augmenter le débit de puissance totale. Des fréquences de répétition accrues produisent cependant des pertes plus importantes dans les tores magnétiques utilisés pour commander ces lasers. L'utilisation du refroidissement par air en ce qui concerne des configurations de tores magnétiques connues ne permet pas un refroidissement adéquat de ces tores. En conséquence, l'augmentation excessive de la température du matériau du tore magnétique entraîne des modifications indésirables des caractéristiques magnétiques, telles que l'induction de saturation réduite. En outre, l'augmentation excessive de la température peut nuire aux matériaux isolants, soit sur les enroulements en fils soit dans l'isolation interlamellaire du tore magnétique lui-même. La présente invention se rapporte à un tore magnétique qui présente un refroidissement amélioré tout en respectant la surface de section et la longueur des tores actuellement utilisés dans des lasers, et qui ne requiert pas de fluide refroidissant. Le présent tore comprend au moins deux petits tores concentriques composés d'un alliage métallique et magnétique amorphe, et sensiblement séparés par un passage de gaz. Les tores magnétiques de l'invention peuvent être utilisés selon différentes applications de puissance d'impulsions, y compris des sources d'impulsions haute puissance destinées à des accélérateurs de particules à induction linéaire, comme modules d'induction permettant de coupler l'énergie de la source d'impulsions au faisceau de ces accélérateurs, comme commutateurs magnétiques dans des générateurs de puissance destinés à la recherche en fusion par confinement inertiel, et dans des modulateurs magnétiques servant à exciter des lasers excimères, des lasers à vapeur métallique et des lasers de chaîne de production à CO2 pulsés.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes régulateurs de vitesse pour véhicules qui permettent au conducteur d'établir une vitesse désirée et de retirer son pied de l'accélérateur. L'accélération et le freinage se font alors automatiquement au moment où le véhicule aborde des côtes. D'autres développements ont été proposés comprenant des systèmes de mesure optique et d'hyperfréquence de distance et de taux de conversion. Jusqu'à maintenant, aucun système n'a pu totalement faire face aux problèmes de trafic routier tels que les changements de voie, les virages et la signalisation en bordure des routes. L'invention se compose d'un système radar à base de signaux lumineux dans lequel toutes les cibles d'un champ de vision sont suivies pendant un moment, et où les risques d'éventuelles collisions avec ces cibles sont évalués, et le système continue soit de suivre et contrôler ces cibles, soit cesse de les suivre si elles ne présentent par d'intérêt. Les renvois de signaux provenant des cibles sont mémorisés dans une mémoire numérique et mis en corrélation avec les dimensions du véhicule par 'groupement' et 'érosion' des signaux mémorisés afin de produire des groupes de cibles relatifs à des véhicules, groupes de cibles qui doivent être suivis et contrôlés.

Abstract: A strong, reliable face seal assembly for a mechanical seal, particularly a mechanical seal in a coolant pump of a heavy duty diesel internal combustion engine and method for forming such a seal are provided. The seal assembly includes rotating and stationary ring-shaped sealing elements on opposite sides of a sealing interface separated by a fluid film. Each of the ring-shaped sealing elements is formed from a substrate, preferably a ceramic, compatible with diamond and coated with a diamond film with a low coefficient of friction and a high thermal conductivity that is resistant to coolant solids adhesion so that the film extends beyond the sealing interface. A vapor deposition process is used to coat the diamond film on the compatible substrate.

Abstract: A plurality of tube elements (4,5,6,7,7',8,9), each of which is provided with a pair of tanks on one side with these tanks communicating via a heat exchanging medium passage, are laminated. An intake/outlet tank group (100) with intake/outlet portions (40a,40b) is divided into three tank sub groups while a non intake/outlet tank group (200) is not partitioned, constituting a single tank group. The intake/outlet portion (40a,40b) on the intake side is directly connected with the tank sub group at one end in the intake/outlet tank group (100) and at the same time, it communicates with the tank sub group at the other end via a relay pipe (60). Consequently, the coolant that has flowed in through the intake/outlet portion (40a) is induced to the non intake/outlet tank group (200) from the tank sub group at one end via a heat exchanging medium passage and it is also induced to the non intake/outlet tank group (200) from the tank sub group at the other end via the heat exchanging medium passage before the two flows are joined at the center. Then, the coolant reaches the tank sub group at the center in the intake/outlet tank group (100) by travelling through the heat exchanging medium passage again to flow out through the intake/outlet portion (40b) on the output side. By improving the distribution of the heat exchanging medium, the performance of the heat exchanger is enhanced.

Abstract: The holder comprises a one-piece block with several parallel holder slots, each for the shaft of one spanner (12,14). Each slot is formed by an elastic element (42) and a rigid support (38). When a spanner is pushed into the slot, the element is moved away from the support, and tensioned. It applies a spring force in direction of the support to the spanner shaft. The elastic element may consist of an elastic tongue with a press-down bump (44). The support can have two separate support bumps (46',46") for the shaft. All bumps may be rounded or angled to form a wedge-shaped gap into which the spanner shaft can be pressed.
