Abstract: Apparatus and methods for use in measuring the moisture content of heavy-grade sheets of paper during their continuous manufacture. In one aspect, means employing infrared absorption techniques for determining the fiber weight per unit area of a sheet having a fiber weight of up to 1100 grams per square meter are provided. In another aspect, means employing infrared absorption techniques including the use of two moisture absorption bands and associated moisture reference bands for calculating the average temperature of the sheet are provided. The latter aspect may be used to produce an indication of moisture weight per unit area, wherein the indication is substantially independent on changes in the average temperature, and enables accurate measurement of the moisture weight per unit area of heavy grades of paper having moisture weights of up to 450 grams per square meter. The former aspect may be employed in measuring the moisture content of heavy grades of paper having moisture weights of up to 90 grams per square meter.

Abstract: A brake fluid pressure control device has a wheel brake fluid pressure control valve (5-1,5-2) including a discharge valve provided in a main fluid passage (3) extending from a master cylinder (1) to wheel brakes (4-1,4-2). A discharged fluid reservoir (6) is provided to temporarily store the brake fluid discharged from the discharge valve. A pump (7) is provided to pump the brake fluid out of the discharged fluid reservoir (6) to return it to the main passage (3). A fluid supply passage (11) branches from the main passage at a point upstream of a flow return point (8) from the pump (7) and extends to the discharged fluid reservoir (6). A traction control changeover valve (14) is provided to check a fluid flow from the flow return point (8) toward the master cylinder (1) during traction control. A shutoff valve (13) is provided to check a fluid flow from the master cylinder (1) to the discharged fluid reservoir (6) through the fluid supply passage (11) while the master cylinder is pressurized. Further, the control device has an intermediate fluid reservoir (12) provided upstream of the shutoff valve (13) so as to be brought into communication with the supply passage (11) during the traction control.

Abstract: Binders dissolved in water, which contain a mixture of a high molecular-weight polymer, solvated by carboxylate groups, of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid polymerisable by a free-radical mechanism and of dissolved native starch, are almost completely precipitated if an acidifying agent is gradually added until coacervation and precipitation of the binder occur. In the manufacture of highly filled papers, the pigment can be bound in this way from an aqueous suspension.

Abstract: According to the present invention, relations between respective units, each of which comprises an atom chain of π conjugated system or an atomic species, and polarizabilities of the respective units are obtained previously. These are stored in a memory device (32) of a computer system. A test molecule is decomposed to specify units constituting the relevant molecule. The polarizabilities corresponding to the specified respective units are read out from the memory to form the sum total thereof. The sum total thus obtained is a molecular polarizability. As clearly seen from the results indicated in Figs. 8 and 10, the molecular polarizability thus estimated is in good accordance with theoretical and experimental values. Refractive index and dielectric constant can be obtained by using well-known relationships, starting from the polarizability. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain also an anisotropic polarizability in a similar way as for an isotropic polarizability.

Abstract: A system for controlling the fuel delivery of an electronic injection system (4), whereby a processing unit (10) determines the amount of fuel (Q b ) to be injected for achieving a substantially correct stoichiometric air/fuel ratio; which value (Q b ) is subsequently corrected by a coefficient (K 02 ) calculated by integrating a signal (E) comprising a signal (A) supplied by a sensor (21) located in the exhaust manifold of the engine (6) and presenting a transfer function comprising a nonlinear characteristic and a delay seriously affecting system response. The system also comprises a processing unit (26) for simulating the transfer function of the engine-sensor system and generating a signal (B) simulating the signal actually produced by the sensor (21) but minus the delay (T) introduced by the sensor and the system; which signal (B) is used for producing a correction signal (D) which is added to the signal generated by the sensor (21) for compensating the delay (T) and so improving the dynamic response of the system as a whole.

Abstract: A carrier plate (15) has essentially circular openings (11) for receipt of smaller diameter circular magnetic memory disks (20). Each disk has a plugged aperture, a planar annular band (23) on each side for receiving magnetic media (8), an outer peripheral edge (24) and a chamfer (22) therebetween. An integral stump segment (30) and a pair of integral U-shape channel retainers (40) extend from plate opening (11) to a position overlapping disk chamfer (22) to prevent a disk resting vertically on the stump segment (30) from falling out of the plate (15). Vertical holding walls (40) extend integrally and downwardly from a rear leg of the channel to insure vertical orientation of the disk (20) and stop walls (50) extend integrally and upwardly from that rear leg to prevent overtilting of the disk during its insertion into the plate (15). Gaps (31, 32, 33) are provided between the disk peripheral edge (24) and the opening (11) over about 248° allowing magnetic media to effectively coat the entire annular band surfaces (23).

Abstract: A system for monitoring changes in the amount of contaminants present in a flowing stream of supercritical fluid. A sample stream is removed from a flowing stream of supercritical fluid and subjected to reduced pressure. The supercritical fluid turns into gas at the reduced pressure with the contaminants remaining in a non-gaseous form. A quartz crystal microbalance system measures changes in the amount of non-gaseous contaminants present in the sample stream. The system is useful in monitoring both cleaning processes and extraction processes utilizing supercritical fluids.
