Patent EP-0910726-B1 (EP)
Inventor: LEIJONBERG GUNNAR

Abstract: The present invention is for the kind of power machine, engines, pumps or compressors which have two or more pistons which work against each other preferably with a common combustion space or corresponding in a stationary cylinder, and where the power is transmitted to or from a rotating motion without an intermediate crankshaft. Independent of whether the machine works as engine, pump or compressor there is a need to cool the cylinder. For applications such as engines for lawn-mowers and power saws the engines must be air-cooled as in practice it is not possible to arrange a water-cooling system. Cooling of the cylinder is obtained by that holes or channels (30, 31) are arranged both in the rotating and the stationary discs and cooling air is made to flow through these channels. In order to further improve the cooling the outside of the cylinder may have flanges. In other embodiments of the invention the connecting means between the rotating disc and the outgoing shaft are so shaped that they also function as fan blades (34-35) and cause a desired air flow.

Abstract: The stress measuring method uses a monochromatic light beam (6) with a polarisation which is switched periodically between linear and circular polarisation modes, directed onto the surface of the glass plate (1), with detection of the dispersed light within the glass plate via a video camera (20) and digital evaluation of the image for calculation of the stress. The angle of incidence of the light beam is selected so that the entire thickness of the glass plate is illuminated at a given point (A-A), with which the video camera is aligned, so that the image evaluation provides the stress for the full thickness of the glass plate.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une tête magnétique monocanal présentant une face (1) qui s'étend dans un premier sens (I), sens dans lequel un support d'enregistrement magnétique (3) peut se déplacer par rapport à la tête magnétique, et dans un deuxème sens (II), transversal au premier sens. La tête magnétique présente une structure constituée de couches qui, vu dans le premier sens, sont situées l'une sur l'autre et s'étendent pratiquement dans le deuxième sens et dans un troisième sens (III), transversal par rapport au premier et au deuxième sens. La structure est pourvue d'un élément de mesure magnétorésistif (5), d'un premier élément magnétique (7) et d'un second élément magnétique (9). Ces deux éléments magnétiques sont électroconducteurs, tandis que l'élément de mesure est monté électriquement en série entre les deux éléments magnétiques pour qu'un courant de mesure (i) passe à travers l'élément de mesure pratiquement dans le troisième sens. Chaque élément magnétique possède une face de contact électrique (7a, 9a). Pour permettre l'obtention d'une tête magnétique monocanal stable présentant une largeur de balayage bien définie et étroite, au moins un élément magnétique s'étendant aussi loin que la face de la tête a une étendue qui est plus grande dans le deuxième sens que dans le troisième sens. Cette étendue dans le deuxième sens est également plus grande que la largeur effective (w) de l'élément de mesure. Dans le troisième sens, l'élément magnétique concerné présente une perméabilité magnétique relative (νrIII) plus grande que celle qu'il présente dans le deuxième sens.

Abstract: An electrophoresis container apparatus having (1) a primary container tray made from a UV light transmitting materials, (2) a UV light transmitting gel contained in the primary container tray, and (3) a removable top sheet for covering the gel. The removable top sheet may also be UV light transmitting. The apparatus optionally comes with a handle having pincers for grasping the primary container and permitting easy movement of the apparatus from location to location. Because the apparatus transmits UV light, the gel can be used and analyzed while it is still in the tray. This eliminates the need to remove the gel before analysis and reduces the chances that the gel will be damaged during handling. Similarly, because the apparatus has an optional handle, the user can move the apparatus form location to location without touching the apparatus and exposing the user to dangerous chemicals, e.g., those often used in staining procedures. <IMAGE>
