Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP92/00499 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 8, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 8, 1993 PCT Filed Feb. 5, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/15249 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 17, 1992.The invention provides a measuring apparatus for measuring small liquid flows, particularly in the medical sector. The measuring apparatus comprises a siphon unit as a liquid flow sensor, a measuring chamber being located in its retention area. As soon as the liquid supplied to the measuring chamber reaches a given liquid level, the measuring chamber is automatically emptied by the siphon effect. The emptied liquid volume is fixed and constant. The emptying is determined by an optical detector means in the vicinity of the measuring chamber and/or upstream of the outflow area of the siphon unit.

Abstract: So that, in all designs for plot boundaries, it can be determined very reliably that they are being climbed over, and this irrespective of the atmospheric conditions, a method is proposed for evaluating the signals from electro-acoustic transducers by means of an electronic circuit in which the information corresponding to the level and to the change in level (modulation) is taken from the incoming signal and the difference between the values of these items of information is determined. The difference value is subsequently compared with a threshold value and, when it overshoots the threshold value, an alarm signal is triggered. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Twin axle drive or connection of two twin axle drives which save on overall height and mass in the short powerflux of the perpendicular loading and ensure, when travelling in a tight bend in the track, the necessary rotation angle with an acceptable rotation resistance and ensure transverse play better than a link suspension. According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the leaf springs (10) are coupled at their ends to the wagon stays to the side of the lateral members (3). A support pendulum (14) is supported on the spring collar (11) of the leaf springs (10) and rolls with the necessary resistance in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle without restoring force and thus brings about the necessary restriction on rotation. In the transverse direction, the restoring force and transverse restriction required for transverse play is produced by the design of the crowned rolling segment of the support pendulum (14). In the connection of two twin axle units, steering is effected by a Beugniot lever. Both axle units are connected to a transverse coupling. The invention is preferably suitable for use with low-level wagons (1) with a continuous floor height and small wheels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This wrapping apparatus comprises a belt nester for wrapping stacks of thin amorphous steel strips about an arbor. The belt nester includes (a) a belt wrapped about the arbor and movable along its length to impart rotary motion to the arbor and (b) means for successively feeding individual ones of the stacks into the space between the belt and the arbor. The wrapping apparatus further comprises means defining a first substantially-flat surface upon which the stacks are supported as they are fed into the space between the belt and the arbor and additional means defining a second substantially-flat surface extending parallel to the first flat surface. Control means operates when a stack that is being wrapped on the arbor passes between said flat surfaces to bias one of the flat surfaces toward the other and to compress the stack between the two flat surfaces as the stack is wrapped. This compression removes wrinkles from the strips, removes air pockets from between the strips, and enables the stack to be more effectively guided by guide members at the longitudinal edges of the stack.

Abstract: Printed transparencies ( 10 ), or imaged films, printed upon by ink-jet printing to form an image ( 10i ), are provided with means to allow proper drying while preventing long term image quality degradation of the printed transparency. A vapor permeable sheet ( 12 ) is first placed in contact with the imaged (inked side) ink-jet film to form an assembly ( 14 ). The assembly comprising the vapor permeable sheet and the imaged ink-jet film are then inserted into a non-vapor permeable sleeve protector ( 16 ). The present invention allows for immediate use of the imaged film in a non-vapor permeable sheet protector, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, and polyester (polyethylene terephthalate - PET). As a consequence, the imaged film may be archived indefinitely without significant degradation of the image quality. Further, the imaged film is protected against image degradation caused by excessive moisture, including atmospheric moisture (high humidity) and direct water contact. The present invention promotes image development at dry atmospheric conditions (low humidity) and allows non-vapor permeable sheet protector independence. The present invention induces minimal haze and opacity to the projected image of the transparency and allows the imaged film to dry properly.

Abstract: This describes a method and apparatus for repairing a plastic transport pipe with a defective section while the pipe is under pressure. A pressure vessel encloses the defective section and seals with the pipe. The defective section is cut in two and the defective section drops out into the lower space of the vessel. A repair nipple is then moved into the space between the two cut ends of the pipe. Electrofusion collars are placed over the joint between the insert nipple and the cut ends of the transport pipe. The electrofusion collars are then energized to effect a leakproof joint between the insert nipple and the two ends of the transport pipe. The insert nipple may be any replacement section desired, such as a section with a Tee in it.
