Abstract: The invention is related to a rotational speed converter comprising shafts (1, 2) with bevelled gears fixed thereon, separate bevelled gears (3, 4) which cooperate with said gears fixed onto said shafts and are mounted on a separate shaft (5), a planetary gear (6) connected to said separate shaft, and at least one braking gear (7) acting on said planetary gear. In speed converter, according to the invention, are fluid flow channels (9, 10) connected to the braking gear (7), whereby the fluid volume surrounding said channels is filled with a hydraulic fluid that is arranged to pass through the gaps formed between teeth of the braking gear (7) and the planetary gear (6) from the suction side to the pressure side, and that the converter additionally incorporates a control valve for adjusting the fluid flow from the pressure side (9) to the suction side (10), whereby the hydraulic system thus formed makes it possible to control the fluid pressure on the pressure side thus permitting braking of the braking gear and the rotational speed of the planetary gear in a desired ratio, whereby a stepless conversion ratio from zero to 1:1 between the speeds of the input shaft (1) and output shaft (2) is attained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting tool preferably for milling. The tool comprises a holder (30) and a cutting insert (10). The cutting insert (10) has a generally circular basic shape and includes at least one cutting edge (16) created by the transition between an upper face (11) and an edge face (13) of the cutting insert (10). The upper face (11) is a rake face, and the edge face (13) is a clearance face. The holder and cutting insert have first means (37, 13b) for preventing rotation of the insert about a center axis (20). The clearance face is conical and converges towards a lower face of the insert. The first means for preventing rotation is provided distant from and radially short of the clearance face and at a part of the insert that is closer to the lower face than to the upper face so as to constitute an indication of fracture radially inside the conical clearance face. The holder and insert comprise second means (35, 13a) for preventing rotation of the insert. Also, said step constitutes an indication of fracture, and thereby a breakage of the cutting edge is better controlled. The present invention further relates to a cutting insert and a method for preventing rotation of the cutting insert about its center axis in a holder for chip forming machining.

Abstract: A method of making a hard constituent powder coated with Co and/or Ni in a solution by liquid reduction of the Co and/or Ni from a suitable metal compound with a polyol while keeping the powder in suspension, the polyol functioning both as a solvent and as a reducing agent at the same time. By separating the intermediate solid compound and hard constituent from the suspension before any by-products are formed and reducing the intermediate solid compound in the dry state by H2 for around 24 hours or by using an excess of about 10 times more moles polyol than moles metal, the polyol can be conserved or reused leading to improved cost efficiency of the process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for simulating the presence of people, with at least one automatically operable electrical load. A first variable of the surroundings of the electrical load is detected and converted into a first parameter signal. A random signal is generated using a random number generator circuit. The first parameter signal is combined with the random signal, said combination resulting in a control interval signal which controls generation of starting signals which are transferred to a switchgear. The current supply to the electrical load is established, reduced or disconnected by the switchgear. The number of starting signals during a preset interval is predetermined by the control interval signal within the preset limits of a frequency interval.

Abstract: A method and system are provided including an optical head which moves relative to an object at a vision station to scan a projected pattern of imagable electromagnetic radiation across the surface of an object to be inspected at a relatively constant linear rate to generate an imagable electromagnetic radiation signal. In one embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation is light to develop dimensional information associated with the object. The optical head includes at least one projector which projects a grid of lines and an imaging subsystem which includes a trilinear array camera as a detector. The camera and the at least one projector are maintained in fixed relation to each other. Three linear detector elements of the array camera extend in a direction parallel with the grid of lines. The geometry of the optical head is arranged in such a way that each linear detector element picks up a different phase in the grid pattern. As the optical head is scanned across the surface of interest, the detector elements are continuously read out. Depth an each point on the surface is calculated from the intensity reading obtained from each of the detector elements that correspond to the same point on the surface. In this way, the phases of the pattern are calculated from the three intensity readings obtained for each point. In another embodiment, the imagable electromagnetic radiation is polarized and the response of the detector elements is polarization sensitive. The generated images are based on polarization for the surface.

Abstract: A surgical access device comprises an introducer (100) with a main endoscopic channel and an auxiliary or secondary instrument channel. The introducer exhibits an extremely narrow cross-sectional profile in order to minimize the size of the portal or other entry point necessary to gain access into the patient's body, thereby minimizing pain and discomfort to the patient and allowing a wide variety of endoscopic procedures to be performed on an out-patient basis. The narrow profile of the introducer is maintained upon introduction by a guide channel (118) which can be stored in a first position so as to closely conform to the profile of the introducer. The guide channel is provided with a set in order to maintain its stored position upon introduction; however, post introductively, the set in the guide channel can be readily realeased in order to deploy the guide channel and allow insertion of a secondary surgical instrument. The guide channel can be provided with rails or other tracks in order to ensure accurate movement at the instrument to the desired distal location. The guide channel is constructed from a thin but extremely strong and noncompliant membrane material. The present invention also comprises a method of construction and use of the surgical access device.

Abstract: This improvement relates to a novel method of injection moulding and novel equipment which enables manufacturing of products of very large shapes usually requiring extremely high clamping forces to be generated by means of expensive hydraulic equipment systems. This requirement appeared to be the technical restriction for making such large products. The improvement also provides for a method of mould assembling when products are shaped in such a way that any removal of the product from the mould would be prevented by the complexity of its external/internal shape. The required extremely high clamping forces are now performed and maintained during the injection molding process simply by previously positioning various mould sections themselves by means of supports in heavily dimensioned strong holding means while use is made of rather common and simple hydraulic means. Moulding forces which are generated during the injection moulding process can be fully absorbed by the heavily dimensioned holding means which keeps the entire mould circumferentially enclosed as if held by a massive fist grip.
