Abstract: A coupling and blocking system for shelves of bookcases, shelvings or
the like is proposed. 
     The present system permits supporting elements to be coupled
together and takes advantage of the principle of the cone connection
by using new technical measures that improve both the way of
production and the assembling techniques. Thus, it is possible to
obtain a finished product that guarantees a great quality and, above
all, an excellent stability. 
     According to the present system, the corners of a shelf (1) to be
mounted show bevels (2) that have a basically rounded shape like a
sector of circle of about 90°. 
     A bracket (3) is soldered on each of the rounded bevels of the shelf.
The bracket (3) is provided with surfaces (7) that are apt to be coupled
with frustum-conical elements (4). At least a removable bracket (5) is
fixed on a side of each frustum-conical element. The bracket (5)
consists of a structural shape showing a plurality of walls. The planes
of the walls show a conical arrangement and form tongue areas and
groove areas to be coupled with the said bracket (3), which is present
on the shelf rounds.

Abstract: A method for controlling the sulfur dioxide partial pressure in a pressurized,
heated, oxygen-containing gas mixture which is contacted with an ion-conducting
metallic oxide membrane which permeates oxygen ions. The sulfur dioxide partial
pressure in the oxygen-depleted non-permeate gas from the membrane module is
maintained below a critical sulfur dioxide partial pressure, p SO2 *, to protect the membrane
material from reacting with sulfur dioxide and reducing the oxygen flux of the membrane.
Each ion-conducting metallic oxide material has a characteristic critical sulfur dioxide
partial pressure which is useful in determining the required level of sulfur removal from
the feed gas and/or from the fuel gas used in a direct-fired feed gas heater.

Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: A line striper 10 is attached to a vehicle 20 with a two point hitch 18 and has a swivelable rotatable wheel 24 mounted thereunder to support the striper on the ground. A main beam L is releasably clamped and may be slid from side to side depending on operator preference. The gun boom U may then be located on the desired side.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring the condition of a bearing mounted on a
rotating shaft, particularly one present in an aircraft gas turbine engine, where
the vibration sensor that monitors the bearing is remote therefrom but
proximate to the rotating shaft. The vibration sensor obtains (101) a
broadband signal having frequencies that include the bearing defect peak of
the monitored bearing (54). The broadband signal is analyzed (104) to
identify the presence of the bearing defect peak. If the bearing defect peak is
present, the amplitude of this peak is quantified (107) to determine (109)
whether degradation of the monitored bearing has at least reached a
threshold criterion previously established.
