Patent EP-1767917-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOERLE ALFRED
IPC: G01M3/16
Filed: 2006-09-21
Abstract: The arrangement has a base device (2) for producing a test signal in a measuring circuit (I). A mobile detector (3) closes the measuring circuit by a medium (M) e.g. water. A measuring signal is produced, where the signal depends on the displacement of the detector to the location of a leakage (L) so that an approximation or displacement to the searched leakage is signaled by a position change of the detector. Another measuring circuit (II) is attached with another detector (4) for detection of further leakage. The test signal is modulated for the production of individual measuring signals. An independent claim is also included for a method of detecting a leakage in moisture sealing layers.

Abstract: Method involves a differential pressure sensor (4) with a high and a low pressure connection (5,6) to an exhaust gas tract (2) of an internal-combustion engine (1). These connections are parallel to a particle filter (3) in an exhaust gas tract, with which during the operation of the internal-combustion engine it is examined whether the operating condition prevails according to a given criterion stable. An incorrect differential pressure value representative for the stable operating conditions is determined through present stable operating conditions from sensor signals of the differential pressure sensor. The first detection is examined during the operation of the internal-combustion engine whether the incorrect differential pressure representative for the stable operating conditions fulfills a first given error criterion for a wrong connection. At the end of the operation of the internal-combustion engine with a second detection a value of an offset parameter of a characteristic of the differential pressure sensor is determined. Depending upon the determined offset parameter value and the incorrect differential pressure value, a corrected minimum differential pressure value representative for the stable operating conditions is determined and examined whether the corrected minimum differential pressure value fulfills a second given error criterion for a wrong connection. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Device; and (2) Computer program for detection.

Abstract: A boot/trunk opening 1 in the vehicle body 3 has a flange 5 to which a looped sealing strip should be attached. However, when the boot/trunk lid 29 is fixed to the vehicle body 3 by hinge arms 27, these hinge arms prevent a pre-formed loop-shaped sealing strip being satisfactorily fitted to the flange 5. Disclosed herein is a sealing strip having a heat-bonding air-permeable foil attached to one end thereof. A sealing strip of this type can be supplied in strip form and threaded between the hinge arms 27 and the vehicle body 3. The end of the sealing strip to which the foil is already attached is then bonded to the other end of the sealing strip by a bonding operation performed at the vehicle to form a looped sealing strip. An apparatus and method for performing this  in situ  bonding operation is disclosed. Apparatus for forming a sealing strip with a foil attached to one end thereof is also disclosed.

Abstract: Provided are methods for accurately measuring nozzle 50 flow areas of new or refurbished gas turbine engine vanes 14. A first vane 114 is suitably fixtured in a laser scanning system 60 comprising a laser spot projector 82 a laser spot sensor 84, a multi-axis controller 68 and a computer 78. According to a nozzle flow area measurement method, a convex surface 38 and a concave surface 40 of a first vane 114 are scanned and stored as point clouds 196, 296 with the system. The point clouds 196, 296 are combined into a point cloud 396 and translated to a reference coordinate system 98. A point cloud 496 representing a nominally sized, second vane 214 is positioned adjacent to one surface of the combined point cloud 396. An inlet profile 56 is extracted from the intersection of an inlet plane 58, perpendicular to a combustion gas flow vector 18 direction, and each point cloud 396, 496. A nozzle 50 flow area is then accurately calculated using integration techniques from the inlet profile 56. The process is repeated for the second surface of the first vane 114. In another method, a combined point cloud 396 of a second vane 214, which is also scanned using the scanning system, replaces the nominal point cloud 496. The nozzle 50 flow area between the first 114 and second 214 vanes is then measured using the earlier described method steps.

Abstract: A metrological instrument determines a surface profile or form of a surface (61) of a workpiece (60) by effecting relative movement between a probe (11, 12) and the surface (61) so that the probe follows and is displaced by changes in the surface topography. A measure of the displacement of the probe as it follows the surface is obtained by a displacement provider which may be an interferometric gauge (35). Instead of making a measurement along a single measurement path over the surface (61), respective measurements are made on sections (61d and 61e or 61g and 61h) of that measurement path to obtain corresponding measurement data sets and these measurement data sets are independently positioned or aligned to a reference data set. The reference data set may be obtained by a measurement made on another section (61c) of the measurement path (61), on another measurement path (61f) over another surface (62a and 62b) of the component or on another measurement path over a surface on which the component is located. The aligned measurement data sets are then merged together to form a profile of the surface.

Abstract: L'invention se présente sous plusieurs aspects. Dans son aspect le plus simple, l'invention se présente sous forme d'un bloc osseux intermédiaire qui comprend un segment usiné d'os cortical et/ou d'os spongieux, la partie intermédiaire présentant une face qui comprend une à dix surfaces de compression et une à dix cavités, lesdites surfaces de compression étant conçues pour comprimer des tissus mous, et lesdites cavités étant conçues pour recevoir et retenir des tissus mous en débordement. Les cavités se présentent de préférence sous forme de canaux, et idéalement de canaux présentant un profil de section transversale oméga. Etonnamment, les cavités et les canaux, qui réduisent la surface comprimée entre le bloc osseux intermédiaire et le tendon, augmentent de manière significative la contrainte à la rupture du tendon. Des tests standardisés ont montré qu'un bloc osseux intermédiaire de l'invention, combiné à des blocs osseux de grande superficie de l'art antérieur, faisait augmenter de manière inattendue la contrainte à la rupture desdits blocs. L'invention concerne également des ensembles bloc osseux conçus pour se lier à des tissus mous afin que soit formé un greffon implantable, et lesdits greffons implantables. Un greffon particulièrement préféré de l'invention est un greffon os-tendon-os.
