Abstract: A ratchet tensioning device for the step-by-step tensioning and releasing of clamping belts, having a console (1), a clamping lever (2), a winding-on shaft (4), which supports a ratchet wheel (3, 3'), and two ratchets. The ratchet wheel (3, 3') is the common locking piece for the two ratchets. The drive ratchet, which acts between the clamping lever (2) and the winding-on shaft (4), is used for the rotating drive of the winding-on shaft (4). The ratchet which protects against turning backwards and acts between the console (1) and the winding-on shaft (4) protects the winding-on shaft (4) against turning backwards. The ratchet which protects against turning backwards consists of the ratchet wheel (3, 3') and of two separate locking slides (5, 5'). The locking slides (5, 5') can be pushed back out of the tooth system (33) alternately by means of an unlocking cam (37) which is integrally formed on the clamping lever (2), as a result of which the ratchet can be unlocked in a step-by-step manner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object by thermal spraying utilizes a plurality of masks positioned and removed over a work surface in accordance with a predetermined sequence. The masks correspond to cross sections normal to a centerline through the workpiece. One set of masks defines all cross sections through the workpiece. A second set of masks contains at least one mask which corresponds to each mask of the first set. Masks from each set are alternatively placed above a work surface and sprayed with either a deposition material from which the workpiece will be made or a complementary material. In this manner, layers of material form a block of deposition material and complementary material. Then, the complementary material which serves as a support structure during forming is removed. Preferably, the complementary material has a lower melting temperature than the deposition material and is removed by heating the block. Alternatively, one could mask only for the deposition material and remove complementary material overlying the deposition material after each spraying of complementary material. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arrangement for measuring mechanical properties of foil material (10), preferably paper. The arrangement includes a material excitation unit (12) and a material sensing detection unit (14). The two units are connected electrically to a common arithmetical unit (18). This unit is intended to register and convert electrical signals deriving from the two first mentioned units (12, 14) in a manner to produce final signals which represent the material properties to be measured. The excitation unit (12) includes a laser which, through electromagnetic radiation, is intended to generate in the gaseous atmosphere surrounding the material local transient gas-pressure pulses within variable surface zones which are well-defined geometrically, without the excitation unit coming into contact with the material. These gas pressure pulses cause the material (10) to stretch locally in the boundary regions of the zones, such stretching of the material being necessary to the measuring process. The detection unit (14) senses this stretching of the material, without coming into contact with the material, by detectingtransient changes in these material zones.

Abstract: Industrial filtration apparatus for the separation of solids entrained in a fluid stream comprises: a flexible perforate filtering sleeve closed at one end such that fluid can pass through perforations in the sleeve but entrained solids of a predetermined size are retained within the closed end of the sleeve. The apparatus has a structure for holding the sleeve about a discharge pipe for the fluid at a point between the closed and open ends of the sleeve, and for restraining movement of the sleeve away from the pipe; the apparatus is adapted such that in response to a predetermined fluid (e.g. hydraulic) pressure within the sleeve between its closed end and the discharge pipe, the closed end is allowed to be displaced away from the discharge pipe, thereby drawing a portion of the sleeve nearer its open end into a position forward of the pipe to expose said portion to the fluid stream.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hot tip gated injection molding apparatus having a heated manifold (10) to distribute melt to a number of spaced gates (34). An unheated sealing and conductive member (38) is mounted directly between the heated manifold (10) and the cooled cavity plate (14) in alignment with each gate. The sealing and conductive member (38) has an elongated hot tip shaft (54) which is connected to extend centrally through the bore (56) of an outer collar portion (52) by a number of spaced spiral blades (58). The collar portion (52) bridges an insulative air space (50) between the hot manifold (10) and cooled cavity plate (14) to prevent melt leaking into it. Heat received through the rear end of the collar portion (52) which abuts directly against the heated manifold (10) is transferred through the blades (58) and the hot tip shaft (54) to the gate area which is aligned with the pointed forward end (70) of the hot tip shaft (54). The rear end (68) of the hot tip shaft (54) extends rearwardly into a branch of the melt passage (20) to pick up heat from the surrounding melt. The hot tip shaft (54) has a highly conductive inner portion (72) inside an abrasion resistant outer portion (74) to conduct heat to and away from the gate area during different parts of the injection cycle. The spiral blades (58) impart a swirling motion to the melt which flows between them. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the production of a three-dimensional textile (3), wherein the textile (3) is formed from two sheets of textile (5, 6) placed face to face and connected together by a plurality of threads (10), impregnated with resin and inserted between two layers (16, 17) so as to form a layered structure (1). This layered structure (1) is inserted between two dies (25, 26) of a heated press which is subsequently closed to allow the resin impregnating the structure to distribute itself uniformly. The layers (16, 17) are then attached by vacuum to the faces of the dies (25, 26) which are then opened through a first controlled distance within the limit of the elastic recovery of the three-dimensional textile (3). The outermost layers of the structure (1) are then polymerized by heating the dies (24, 26) while the resin impregnating the threads (10) remains in a plastic state. The lower die (25) is then released in the plane in which it lies and the dies (25, 26) are then moved apart through a second distance so as to stretch the treads of the three-dimensional textile and align them substantially vertically; the floating die (25, 26) is then locked. The dies (25, 26) are then moved away from each other to a predetermined distance to extend the threads (1) completely and the press (28) is kept in this position until all the resin has polymerized completely, the structure hardening in the position assumed.

Abstract: The device, for biochemical diagnostic assays comprises two liquid flow channels of porous material which transfer liquid by capillary flow to a common site in sequentially timed manner following simultaneous application of the liquid to the ends of the channels. The channels interconnect at a certain point and then both continue in an arrangement analogous to an electrical bridge circuit. By selecting the hydraulic resistances of the arms of this circuit the flow can be controlled across the bridge. Balancing the circuit will produce null flow across the bridge and prevent the flow from the channel from dominating that from the other when the channels are saturated. Alternatively the arrangement can be such as to produce oscillating flow across the interconnection. Typical use is an immunoassay using serum or urine samples and immobilised antibody binding.
