Patent EP-0485604-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAJIMA HIDEO - HIDA-CHO
IPC: B60R21/16
Filed: 1990-05-30
Abstract: An air bag of an air bag unit provided with an opening (9) through which an inflator actuated in an emergency penetrates and with exhaust ports (8) for discharging the internal pressure of the air bag around this opening (9), wherein the ports (8) are formed at those portions where warps (11) and wefts (10) of a woven fabric cross obliquely with respect to the line connecting the center of each of these ports (8) to the center of the opening (9). Accordingly, the stress occurring around the exhaust port (8) is supported by both the warps (11) and wefts (10) of the woven fabric of the air bag (3) and breakage around the periphery of the exhaust port (8) is less likely to occur than in the conventional air bags wherein this stress is supported by the warps or wefts alone. For this reason, breakage of the air bag (3) around the exhaust port (8) can be prevented without fail and the reliability of the air bag (3) can be improved drastically.

Title: Driven running gear with steerable individual units.
Inventor: VAN EEUWIJK WILLY
IPC: B61G5/02
Filed: 1990-08-17
Abstract: The driven running gear is intended for underslung rail vehicles with at least two articulated body units. It has two individual sets of running gear (2, 2') fitted with steering means (15, 15', 16). These are interconnected to pivot about their horizontal axis beneath the centre of the wheel axles (8, 8') by a link (3), which, at its ends, has transverse bearers (4, 4') to support a body unit to which are secured at least one motor (21, 21') and a brake (23, 23', 24, 24') which drive and brake the running gear (1) via telescopic transmission shafts (25, 25') and bevel gear drives (26, 26') fitted on the outsides of the wheels on both individual sets of running gear (2, 2'). Thus, when the vehicle is taking a curve, the angle formed between a leading body unit beneath which there is such a set of running gear and a trailing body unit also supported on an axle is transmitted to the steerable individual running gears units so that the pairs of wheels assume the desired radial position.

Abstract: On peut procéder à l'ablation d'organes corporels creux tels que la vésicule biliaire, par introduction d'un milieu thermoconducteur non chauffé à l'intérieur de l'organe. Le milieu thermoconducteur est ensuite chauffé jusqu'à une température suffisante pour nécroser la paroi endothéliale ou la muqueuse de l'organe. Une fois la paroi ou la muqueuse nécrosée, l'intérieur de l'organe forme un tissu fibreux dans le temps, et par la suite l'organe est résorbé par le corps. Un cathéter (10) utile dans la mise en oeuvre du procédé d'ablation, comprend un élément allongé (12) à la pointe (16) distale duquel se trouve un élément chauffant (20). Le cathéter comprend au moins un passage (26) destiné à acheminer le milieu thermoconducteur à l'intérieur de l'organe corporel creux, et l'on utilise le moyen chauffant (20) afin d'élever la température d'un milieu thermoconducteur un fois celui-ci acheminé. Ledit cathéter peut, facultativement, comprendre un ou plusieurs ballons gonflables (34) facilitant l'obturation de l'organe corporel creux, afin d'empêcher la fuite du milieu thermoconducteur pendant le procédé de traitement.

Abstract: An arch comprising a number of elongate components (1-4) constituting leg or roof beam members coupled together, at least one such coupling incorporating a chevron-shaped jointing component (5,6) secured to adjoining members, characterised in that all said components constituting the arch are of uniform TH-section. 
     The chevron-shaped component may be produced by cutting a vee laterally through the bulk of an elongate TH-section member such as to leave only the 'nose' intact and then bending the member so as to close the vee, the mating surfaces then being welded together. Alternatively, two TH-section members may be mitred together to form the composite component, the mating surfaces either being welded together or to an intermediate plate sited between them.

Abstract: In the case of sludge collectors to be fitted into the ground, the cover plate (3) which can be closed by means of a shaft lid must be matched to the surface. This is achieved by means of shaft elements (1,2) of preselectable length. In order to avoid waste water flowing in an uncontrolled manner through the joints of the shaft elements and through the seams of the sludge collector vessel into the ground, the joints and seams according to the invention are sealed by double conical tensioning rings (10, 10') which extend over the end flanges which are provided. The shaft elements are additionally advantageously provided with centring shoulders (7,8). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A body is disclosed which is at least about 90% by weight cordierite, has a mean pore size of less than about 10.0 microns, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of no greater than about 9.0 x 10⁻⁷/°C from about 25°C to 1000°C. Also disclosed is a method of fabricating the body. Raw materials are selected to form a composition consisting essentially of in percent by weight about 12 to 16 magnesium oxide, about 35 to 41 aluminum oxide, and about 43 to 53 silica. The raw materials are absent of clay and talc. The magnesium oxide is supplied by a magnesium oxide component having an average particle size of no greater than about 15.0 micrometers in diameter. The aluminum oxide is supplied by an aluminum oxide component having an average particle size of no greater than about 8.0 micrometers in diameter. The composition is capable of forming cordierite in the subsequent firing step. The raw materials are blended with an effective amount of vehicle and forming aids to impart plastic formability and green strength thereto and form a plastic mixture. The raw materials are formed into a green body which is dried and fired. The firing is done by heating to a first temperature of about 1000°C to 1200°C and thereafter raising the temperature at a rate of less than about 100°C per hour to a second temperature sufficient to form cordierite, and maintaining the second temperature for a sufficient time to form the cordierite body.

Title: Plate feed apparatus for plate-dividing saws
Inventor: JENKNER ERWIN
IPC: B21D43/28
Filed: 1991-12-14
Abstract: A panel-feed apparatus for panel-dividing saws is described by means of which a stack of relatively heavy blank panels can be fed to the panel-dividing saw in such a way as to be exactly aligned with the parting plane. 
<??>To this end, in each case a blank panel or a number of blank panels lying one on top of the other are pushed in succession from a stack (13) of panels resting on a lifting table (13) onto a panel-delivery table (17) arranged upstream of the panel-dividing saw. Each blank panel pushed on or each partial stack pushed on is then placed against a panel stop (45) parallel to the parting plane before a further blank panel or a further partial stack is in turn pushed onto the said blank panel or partial stack and orientated. If the complete stack is built up on the panel-delivery table (17), the latter is fed gradually as a unit to the panel-dividing saw.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for producing optical subassemblies from optical waveguides (6), by means of which at least one or more optical waveguides (6), which are clamped in a device for drawing or compressing, are heated and melted and deformed depending on the optical parameters of the optical subassembly. So that the optical waveguides (6) can be heated and melted reproducibly, as a function of location and in accordance with a prescribed program, in a region extending beyond the breaking width of an arc, use is made of an AC arc which is guided along the optical waveguide (6) with the aid of a spring oscillator (3,4,5) by means of oscillating motion of the electrodes (1) guiding the AC arc. A first electromagnet (7) is provided to control and maintain the amplitude of oscillation of the spring oscillator (3,4,5), and a displacement sensor is provided to control the intensity of the AC arc as a function of the current dwell position of the spring oscillator (3,4,5). Moreover, there is arranged on the spring oscillator (3,4,5) a second electromagnet (9) by means of which the AC arc can be guided both ways along the optical waveguides (6). <IMAGE>
