Abstract: A tapered, nonconductive structure (10) having a hollow core (18) and a conical tip (14) includes a metal wire (16) within the core (18). The wire (16) is sealed within, and is exposed at the end (22) of, the tip (14). An electrically conductive or semiconductive layer (24) on the exterior of the tip (14) form a point thermocouple contact with the wire. The tip (14) may be fabricated, for example, by placing a metal wire (16) within a tube (12), and heating and pulling the tube (12) to produce two tapered micropipettes. Thereafter, a thin metal or semiconductor film (24) is evaporated onto the outer surface.

Abstract: A mechanical compressive shrinkage machine, especially for tubular and open width knitted fabrics, and of the type comprising feeding and retarding rollers cooperating with entry side and exit blades forming a compressive shrinkage zone between the rollers, is provided with novel and improved adjusting mechanisms. For each of the blades, there is a separate adjusting mechanism, each comprising, at each side of the machine, an in-line fluid cylinder, a technician-accessible independent adjustment, and a rotatable eccentric. The rotatable eccentrics on each side are carried by a common shaft, which is accessible externally and provides an operator-controlled adjustment. After initial setup of the machine by a skilled technician, adjustment of the machine by the production operator is effected by rotation of a control shaft, effecting simultaneous movement of the control linkage at opposite sides of the machine. The limits of production operator control, even with full rotation of the control shaft, are such, by design of the eccentric portions of the shaft, as to be within a safe range, to avoid damage or destruction of delicate critical parts of the equipment through careless operator action. The in-line fluid actuators, incorporated into the adjustment linkage, enable rapid, gross movement of the elements for the purpose of reconfiguring the machine in a wide open condition for cleanout. Such reconfiguration is carried out by a predetermined sequence to avoid damage to the components.

Examples of panels according to the invention comprise a substrate (2) which may be rendered smokey in appearance by the use of a coating (6) of a smokey dye or by inclusion of a dye in the plastics or glass from which the substrate is formed. On the obverse side of the panel, there is provided a first layer (8) of transparent or partially transparent material in which is carried fragments of translucent material such as mica having enhanced colour iridescence by being coated with a suitable metal oxide. The layer (8) may be continuous or discontinuous. On the reverse side of the panel is provided a layer (12) including pigmented material for example in the form of graphics or other patterning to be displayed as a result of being backlit by a source of light (14) sufficiently strong to suppress the iridescence of the layer (8) visible in ambient lighting so that what was visible on the obverse face effectively disappears and the graphics of the layer (12) become visible to the observer.

Abstract: The trailer has a continuous conveyor gripper floor driven by a hydraulic motor through endless chains and a pair of sprocketed shafts. During unloading of the wagon, the load experienced by the motor determines the speed and torque available. The hydraulic motor (7) is provided with fluid from a pump through a feed pipe (12) and in input connection (8) and the fluid is returned to a reservoir through a pipe (13) and an output connection (9). A control input (10) is connected to an electromagnetically operated valve (11) which directs fluid to either another input or to the fluid return according to the condition of a pressure switch (14). The valve may also be manually switched. With heavy loads pressure is built up in the pipe operating the pressure switch which switches the motor to low speed, high torque operation.

Abstract: An electromagnetic linear compressor has a linearly reciprocating piston (10) biassed in one direction by a helical coil spring. A rotational bearing (40) supports one end of the spring (20a,20b). To avoid uneven wear due to forces applied by the spring, the spring is replaced by a spring system comprising two helical coil springs (20a,20b) acting in series to bias the piston (10), and the rotational bearing (40) transmits thrust between the two springs while permitting relative rotation of the two springs about their axis. The compressor also has turbine means (30) for exerting a unidirectional rotational force to rotate the piston (10) about its axis gradually during operation of the compressor. <IMAGE>

The coil assembly for use in the transponder includes a primary coil (156), the leads of which are left floating, and a secondary coil (158) which has its leads connected to an integrated identification circuit within the transponder. Both coils are wrapped around the same coil forming ferrite rod, and are configured to resonate at the same operating frequency, such that the quantity of energy which can be transferred between the transmitter and the transponder is maximized.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for destruction of ammunition and ammunition components and conversion of these goods for destruction to metal scrap prepared for re-use. The invention is based on the goods for destruction being introduced into a destruction chamber (6) designed in a special manner, in which the goods are heated to a temperature which causes the explosive substances included therein to be combusted, to detonate or to deflagrate. The heating is carried out by burners (4) arranged outside the chamber, and scrap (22) from previously destroyed goods which has remained in the destruction chamber (6) serves as a heat accumulator for retaining heat liberated during the destruction of the explosive goods. A characteristic feature of the destruction chamber (6) is that it has the shape of a double cone (9, 10) with a short cylindrical intermediate part (11) between the base edges of the cone parts. The advantages of the present construction include the fact that the special shape of the destruction chamber makes it relatively easy to manufacture at the same time as it contributes actively to adequately high temperatures being achieved inside the same in order to give a good handling capacity.

Each slit terminates at a lower end spaced apart from the bottom surface by a first distance and extending transversely from a first slit end spaced apart from the first side of the foam core to a second slit end spaced apart from the second side of the foam core. Each adjacent pair of slits defines a foam column so that the foam core has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart and transversely extending foam columns. Each foam column has a pair of generally vertical column side walls defining the slits. Each column side wall includes a shear coating having a low coefficient of friction so that each column can compress and decompress without drag forces resulting from frictional engagement with adjacent column side walls interfering with the compression and decompression.
