Inventor: HUNT KEVIN GUY
IPC: B21B38/00
Filed: 2003-07-07
Abstract: This invention is a method that uses the electric signal drawn from a vibration sensor containing a piezoelectric crystal over a short period of time to generate a value. There is a reading taken when the spindle is loaded and at a steady state (same position relative to location of load in machine), and another taken when the spindle is unloaded and at steady state. Based on observations, a good spindle shows more energy when loaded verses unloaded. The opposite relationship is characteristic of a bad spindle.

Abstract: A method of treating a piece of porous cellulose and/or lignin based material by impregnating with a radiation polymerizable monomer comprising a vinylic grouping and comprising a grafting functional group reactive with the cellulose/lignin hydroxyl groups and/or a crosslinker and irradiation with high energy radiation. The thickness of the impregnation layer is 0.1-5 mm below the material surface and the quantity of impregnation monomer is 1-9 wt.% of the layer. The treatment is carried out at atmospheric pressure. The impregnation layer does not exceed in thickness 30% of the smallest dimension of the piece. The conditions governing the layer thickness are a temperature 10-80[deg]C and/or a duration 90 minutes or less and/or a moisture content 12% or less and/or a monomer viscosity at 25[deg]C 10-3000 mPa.s.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des analyseurs à faire tourner en relation avec des systèmes d'estimation par ordinateur, pouvant convenir à des services de suivi des rendements. L'analyste humain dispose d'analyseurs semi-automatiques qui lui permettent d'évaluer périodiquement les historiques disponibles pour établir un ensemble souhaitable de mesures d'entrée, de paramètres de modèle, et de critères de comptes rendus, constituant collectivement des paramètres de configuration utilisables par un système d'estimation. En outre, un analyseur complètement automatique peut réévaluer périodiquement automatiquement de tels paramètres de configuration et reconfigurer automatiquement le système d'estimation en conséquence. Pour ces deux types d'analyseurs, l'ensemble actif de mesures d'entrée destinées au système d'estimation informatique peut être établi dès le début ou mis à jour périodiquement pour mener différentes opérations d'adaptation de la configuration. Cela peut comporter notamment la suppression des variables linéairement redondantes, la suppression des entrées ne faisant pas apparaître d'écarts, la suppression des entrées non indispensables ou sans valeur, le peaufinage des paramètres d'exploitation du système d'estimation régissant les fréquences d'apprentissage et l'utilisation des tendances récemment apparues, la vérification occasionnelle de l'exactitude des modèles, et la mise au point fine des seuils d'alerte de surveillance.
