Title: Feed opening adjustment of segments for continuous casting systems
Inventor: WEYER AXEL
IPC: B22D11/128
Filed: 2002-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting the feed opening of segments for continuous casting systems, especially position-controlled segments for slab and thin-slab continuous casting systems which comprise a strand guide (1) with segments (2) for a predetermined guidance of a cast strand using measuring and control signals. In order to provide an independent intelligent segment, the measuring and control signals are processed in at least one system unit (14') directly on the respective segment (2) and the set values are fed to the segment (2') by a superordinate control system (10) via a field bus (11), for example a profibus and a power supply (12'). Actual values are returned to the control system (10') via the field bus (11) as the result of control or as a process status. The system units (14) present on the segment (21) are supplied with segment-specific data such as rigidity coefficients, roller diameter, control parameters, feed opening basic settings and adjustment quota. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.

Title: Method and apparatus for analog-to-digital conversion
Inventor: PETERSSON PETER
IPC: H03M1/12
Filed: 2003-02-28
Abstract: The present invention eliminates the need for an anti-aliasing filter in a receiver that employs an analog-to-digital converter. By maintaining a predetermined relationship between a local oscillator frequency and the sampling frequency of the analog-to-digital converter, aliasing that would normally occur in the desired pass band is avoided. More specifically, the frequency of the periodic signal provided to the mixer is an integer multiple of half the sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter. In a preferred, non-limiting example embodiment, the sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter F<SUB>ADC </SUB>and the frequency of the local oscillator F<SUB>LO </SUB>are related by the following: F<SUB>LO</SUB>=n*F<SUB>ADC</SUB>/2, where n is any positive integer.

Title: Anchoring device for a corrosion-protected tractive member, in particular an oblique cable for a cable-stayed bridge
Inventor: NUTZEL OSWALD
IPC: E04C5/12
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: An anchoring device for a corrosion-protected tension member includes an anchor body, which is provided with bores for the passage of the tension elements. Sealing discs, which can be compressed by means of a pressure plate and threaded bolts, are provided on a face of the anchor body and lie opposite a downstream face. A perforated disc, which is enclosed by two supporting discs, is located downstream of the sealing discs and the pressure plate. The perforated disc acts as a spacer for the tension elements and is fixed between lugs that are opposite an anchor tube and that is connected to the anchor body. The locking of the perforated disc enables the position of the tension elements to remain parallel, even when the sealing discs are compressed to activate the seal. If individual tension elements have to be replaced, the loosening of the threaded bolts allows the sealing discs to "breathe" and to return to their original position.

Title: Protein isolates, compositions comprising protein isolates and methods of use
Inventor: MIKAELIAN GAREGIN
IPC: A23L7/109
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving flavor quality and reducing water absorption of protein isolates, particularly soy protein concentrates. The method involves a surface treatment of the protein isolates with an aqueous solution containing a polysaccharide, in order to coat the protein isolates and block off the flavor of the protein molecule as well as serving as a moisture barrier. The treated protein isolates are then dried to a powder form. The resulting protein isolates are bland in taste, have a reduced water adsorption ratio as compared to the untreated protein isolate and can be used in a wide range of food products without flavor reversion.
