Abstract: The invention relates to a system sectioning point for electric railway catenaries which mechanically connects adjacent catenary sections of different current and/or voltage systems, but separates the potentials and, using short-circuit triggering systems in earthed protection length sections, ensures the triggering of adjacent section switches in the systems, especially for protection when running with erroneously lifted pantographs. To prevent damage either through the inappropriate connection of both current systems via the vehicle or to the vehicle itself, the invention proposes that a voltage monitor (7 or 7') which is triggered earlier in space and/or time be fitted upstream of the short-circuit triggering system (8 or 8') in the earthing section (E or E'). Here it is advantageous to use an auxiliary catenary (3), fitted in the region of the sectioning point near the live main catenary (1), which is neutral during normal operation and along which runs the pantograph of a driving vehicle and which is rendered live in sections by bridging, a condition which can be detected by the voltage monitor (7 or 7') in good time.

Abstract: A two-part coupling structure includes a male coupling part and a female coupling part which are mutually engageable to open fluid communication between a fluid-storage vessel and a conduit. The coupling parts are disengageable from one another to discontinue fluid communication between the vessel and the conduit, and also to close communication between ambient and each of the vessel and conduit. The retention volume of fluid which is trapped between the connected male and female coupling parts and which is exposed to or lost to ambient when the coupling parts are disconnected is very small. Because of particular structural features, the coupling parts will function reliably even with fluid having chunks or particulates of non-fluid material therein.

Date Mar. 21, 1996A method for concentrating a suspension comprises the steps of providing a first surface; providing a second surface; introducing a suspension; moving the second surface relative to the first surface; and applying suction to the second surface. The first surface is relatively liquid-tight and includes a feature for increasing friction. The second surface is relatively liquid-pervious, faces the first surface, and is moveable relative to the first surface. Introduction of the suspension between the first and second surfaces forms a suspension web. Moving the second surface relative to the first surface and applying suction through the second surface causes dewatering of the suspension web and increased friction between the suspension web and the second surface. Also, moving the surfaces relative to each other and applying suction through the second surface causes pressing of the first surface towards the suspension web and the second surface to subject the suspension web to shear forces generated by relative movement between the feature for increasing friction and the second surface. This results in the particles of the suspension web being subjected to rolling between the first and second surface.

Abstract: A cutting insert for use in a rotary milling tool is provided. The cutting insert includes an insert body including a bottom face, a top face, and a side face. A stepped cutting edge is formed at the intersection of the top face and the side face for engaging a workpiece and removing a chip from it. The stepped cutting edge includes at least two offset edge portions which produce distinct, transversely-spaced chip segments during the cutting operation. The offset edge portions are connected by transition edge portions which are disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to the offset edge portions. The angle of the transition edge portions tends to spread the individual chip segments apart during the machining operation to effect a thinning of the chip between the individual chip segments. The entire cutting edge is helically curved so that the cutting edge lies on the surface of a circumscribing cylinder defined by the rotation of the cutting edge about the axis of the milling cutter.

Date May 9, 1997In process controlling computers, such as switching exchanges, faults may prove to be very expensive. Particularly hard to solve are software defects. If problems occur, it is important that maintenance can be directed at the correct target as soon as possible. A threat is constituted by vandals and hackers. If the option for maintaining from elsewhere is incorporated in computers, the danger for misuse consequently increases. Prior art techniques for detecting memory problems do not necessarily reveal defects occurring at regular intervals caused by the method of calculation. Memory defects will occur at regular intervals e.g., if an address line of a memory circuit becomes faulty. A second drawback of the prior art is that the checksum has to be calculated anew if the contents of just one storage location change. The method of detecting memory problems according to the invention is "regularly irregular" so that it detects in a reliable manner an uncontrolled change in any storage area (MA). Furthermore, the checksum (CS) calculated according to the method may be updated upon changes of an element in a storage area (MA) so that the updating requires much less calculation than would calculating the checksum over the entire storage area (MA) being monitored. The method is applicable in detecting hardware and software defects and in expediting the restart of a computer.
