Abstract: The system for the management of faults for the further processing of an overlapping (imbricated) stream (S) of printed products has a monitoring element (1) which generates a measurement signal correlated to the overlapping stream. The measurement signal is interpreted cyclically by an interpretation element (2) by edge-sampling and/or peak-sampling. If a cycle of the measurement signal does not have the correct number of edges or has a maximum peak lying outside a tolerance range, fault signals are generated which are transmitted to a control element (3). The control element (3) generates control signals corresponding to the fault signals for at least one controlled element (10, 20, 30), which is arranged downstream, with respect to the product stream, of the monitoring element (1), in that said control element (3) delays the fault signal essentially by the distance between the monitoring element (1) and controlled element (10, 20, 30). The controlled element (10, 20, 30) eliminates faulty positions or transforms them into other faulty positions. The system is used for detecting, transforming and/or eliminating empty positions, positions occupied by faulty products, positions occupied by an incorrect number of products and/or positions, in the overlapping stream, occupied by products displaced in the conveying direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus for surface treatment in which a fluidizable powder mixture consisting of a powder of a refractory material, and a surface layer-forming powder of a metal, or alloy or both is fluidized by a fluidizing gas supplied through a gas distributor to form above the gas distributor a fluidized bed in which a surface layer is formed on the material to be treated under heating in the presence of a halide. A layer of coarse particles is disposed between the fluidized bed and the gas distributor, and the coarse particles have a mean diameter, D(m), as defined below: 
 
           (1650Vµ/PG)       1/2        < D < 6.5d           
 
 where
     V:   velocity of the fluidizing gas (m/s);   µ:   viscosity coefficient of the fluidizing gas (kg/m·s);   P:   mean density of the coarse particles (kg/m³):   G:   acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s²);   d:   mean particle diameter of the surface layer-forming powder (m).    The layer of coarse particles can prevent the agglomeration of fluidized bed powders and protect the gas distributor against exposure to the highly reactive powders and gases.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fiber amplifier system in which a gain fiber is operatively combined with a fiber optic coupler having first and second coupler optical fibers. The coupler fibers are fused together along a portion of their lengths to form a wavelength dependent coupling region whereby most of the light power of a wavelength λ s  couples between them, and most of the light power of a wavelength λ p  that is introduced into the first fiber remains in it. The mode field diameter of the first coupler fiber is substantially matched to that of the gain fiber and is smaller than that of the second coupler fiber. One end of the first coupler fiber is spliced to the gain fiber. The difference in mode field diameters between said couplers is sufficient create a difference in coupler fiber propagation constants in the coupling region which degrades the coupling of the λ s  signal. To overcome the difference in coupler fiber propagation constants in the coupling region, and thereby increase the coupled signal power to an acceptable level, a fiber characteristic, whose affect on MFD is insignificant, is modified in one of the coupler fibers.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a process for preparing a blended tow of thermoplastic and reinforcing fibers. The process of the invention includes the steps of forming a substantially planar spaced array of thermoplastic multifilament yarns (12) and superimposing the spaced array (40) of separate yarns (12) onto a spread tow (62) of reinforcing fibers. The resulting planar mixed yarn is then gathered into a tow (135) having a non-uniform distribution of thermoplastic fibers throughout the tow. The tow (135) is useful in forming fiber-reinforced composite articles by shaping the tow into a desired form and then heating the shaped tow to melt the thermoplastic fibers which, in turn, form a plastic matrix which is reinforced by the reinforcing fibers.

Abstract: The brewing apparatus (2) comprises lateral guiding and holding plates (6, 7) for securing and guiding individual components thereof. A movable brewing piston (39) is guided in a cylindrical guideway (8) provided with an external thread (93). A nut (9) rotatable on the guideway has teeth (10) at its periphery and is moved on the guideway by a motor-driven, elongated gearwheel (11). Lateral guide arms (14, 15) engage the nut and the brewing piston and control the pivoting movement of a brewing cylinder (82). The brewing cylinder has two arms provided with teeth (86, 87), these arms co-operating with a drive part (26) for moving an ejection piston (107) in the brewing cylinder. The drive part for the ejection piston is designed in such a way that it travels only half as far as the ejection piston and thus allows the coffee machine to have less headroom. The displacement of the brewing piston, and hence its brewing position, is electronically detected and makes possible an exact determination of the variable brewing volume, thus optimum adaptation of the brewing chamber to the preselected amount of ground coffee. The drive disposed concentrically with the axis of the brewing piston prevents tilting of the drive facility.

Abstract: In the case of a scotching or supporting wedge (1) for filling in a space between two constructional parts, in which each wedge face is provided with transverse and transversally-oriented teeth (2, 5) having predominantly a serrated profile, the serrations of which point towards the thickest end (4) of the wedge, and in which each wedge face is provided throughout its length with guide mechanisms, a defective interlock has been established between two wedge faces in those areas of the faces at which the serrated teeth are prevented from engaging, the result being distorted scotching of the relevant constructional parts during erection. With a view to combatting such drawbacks it is proposed that the guide mechanisms be comprised of at least one slot (3) having a rectangular transverse profile, a depth smaller than or equal to 1/2A, where A is the height of the transverse serrated teeth (2, 5), and a width of X.A, where X > 0.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif servant à réguler la température (par exemple, rafraîchissement et/ou mise à l'ombre) d'une zone. On monte un panneau moulé, creux, translucide ou transparent en matériau acrylique en position contiguë à ladite zone et on fait circuler un liquide à travers ledit panneau à une vitesse proportionnelle au degré de régulation de température voulu. On règle le débit de l'écoulement du liquide en régulant le volume et/ou la vitesse de passage du liquide à travers le panneau en réaction à la température à l'intérieur de la zone. On peut réchauffer et/ou refroidir le fluide; il peut être transparent, translucide ou opaque; il peut être coloré. Le panneau peut être plat ou incurvé et comporte une pluralité de passages étanches aux liquides (généralement linéaires ou sinueux) couplés à des moyens d'alimentation en liquide s'actionnant en réaction à la température d'un côté du panneau. Des moyens de commande servent à déterminer les passages dans lesquels le liquide circule - les passages étant disposés en groupes reliés auxdits moyens d'alimentation en liquide par des vannes de régulation de débit respectives. L'alimentation en liquide comprend une ou plusieurs pompes servant à tirer du liquide depuis un ou plusieurs réservoirs et à le transporter vers lesdits passages - le liquide revenant ensuite vers lesdits réservoirs. La régulation du débit peut s'effectuer en réaction aux sorties de plusieurs détecteurs de température provoquant l'ouverture de différentes vannes parmi lesdites vannes, à différentes températures. L'invention concerne aussi des enceintes constituées par plusieurs panneaux similaires montés dans une charpente, lesdites enceintes faisant partie d'immeubles ou d'autres structures permanentes ou temporaires ou d'extensions temporaires d'immeubles ou de véhicules.
