Inventor: BUSCH ERWIN DIPL ING
IPC: B67D7/22

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of measuring the quantity of petrol delivered by the hose (3) of a petrol pump (1), the petrol being conveyed by means of a pump (8) from a storage container and supplied via a measuring device (11) connected downstream of the pump (8) in the petrol flow, to the hose (3) provided with a dispensing nozzle (5). The pump (8) is switched on when the dispensing nozzle (5) is removed from its mounting (6). Impulses (I) are generated by the measuring device (11) to measure the quantity of petrol delivered, said impulses being used to determine both the quantity delivered and the resulting price. To avoid an incorrect allowance for fuel which escapes owing to the permeability of the hose (3) when the petrol pump (1) is not in use, at the beginning of each dispensing operation a programmable number of impulses (I) are monitored in respect of their time interval between successive impulses (I) and supplied to a store. The stored impulses (I) are excluded from an evaluation during determination of the quantity of petrol delivered if, within the programmed number of impulses (I), a programmable time interval between two successive impulses (I) is exceeded. The stored impulses (I) are used, in contrast, for determining the quantity of petrol delivered if there is no such exceeding of the time interval. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wall for a package is produced by a process which comprises the steps of -
     (A) producing a preform of the wall, and   (B) stretching the preform to produce the wall,    - the time between the completion of Step (A) and the commencement of Step (B) being deonted by t AB ,  characterised in that  -
   (i) the preform comprises, or includes a layer comprising, a composition comprising a polymer and having oxygen-scavenging properties,   (ii) the preform and the stretching ratios in step (B) are such that 
t I  ≧ 10 day and 
t D  ≧ 0.25 t I , where t I  is the t 1/5  of the wall that would be produced in a hypothetical process in which t AB  = o day and t D  is the t 1/5  of the wall that would be produced in a hypothetical process in which t AB  = t I , and   (iii) t AB  ≧ 10 day, t 1/5  for the aforesaid walls being the time from formation of the respective wall required for its permeance for oxygen to reach 1/5 of the permeance for oxygen would have in the absence of scavenging.   
     The invention offers improved performance of the wall for a given time period between production of the preform and filling (2, C2).

Abstract: A rod arraying system for nuclear fuel rods or burnable poison rods has a support structure which positions a consolidation canister vertically to receive the rods. A rod loading pattern provides gaps between adjacent rods to allow projections to hold each rod in position. One or more rod arraying devices positioned vertically along and inclined toward the canister provide a triangular pitch loading configuration. A guide assembly (26) slidably mounted on a mounting base of the rod arraying device has two guide plates (38, 40) with scalloped edges. The guide plates (38, 40) are offset relative to each other with one being cycled back and forth by an air cylinder (44) to allow individual loading of fuel rods (20) one row at a time. The inclined weight of the guide plates (38, 40) keeps them in position against the rods (20) to prevent unwanted shifting of rods (20) during the loading operation.

Abstract: This joint is consisting of an excavation or trench (5) coinciding with the hollow space or gap (3) between the two adjacent bridge elements (1, 2) and filled two layers of material, i.e. a lower, highly viscoelastic layer and an upper wearing course (14) having low viescoelastic properties and therefore rigid and strong. Two excavated strips (15) in highly deformable material are located on both sides of the top layer. A wire netting separates the lower layer (12) from the top layer (14). All thermal and mechanical deformations of the two bridge elements (1, 2) are absorbed by the lower layer (12) of the joint and by the two strips (15) located on both sides of the upper layer (14), thus safeguarding the integrety and resistance to wear of the top layer (14).
