Abstract: A slip-out preventive unit of a supply exhaust pipe assembly with a supply exhaust pipe forming a faucet at one end and forming an insertion port at the other end. The faucet having a cut window to allow the lock portion of a lock member to pass through the faucet to engage a circumferential groove of the insertion port. A slip-out prevention unit of which the lock member is a component, to guide and constrain the lock member to engage the circumferential groove, resulting in the holding of the insertion port within the faucet preventing unwanted separation after connection of the assembly. A slide guide allows movement of the lock member in an axial direction of the faucet where the tip of the lock member may be constrained from radial movement of the engagement portion of the lock member by a locking bag wall upon an attempt to separate the insert portion from the faucet.

Abstract: A device for measuring the velocity of flow of a fluid, with at least one thermocouple (10), whose junction point is arranged in the fluid, with an a.c. power source (11) heating the thermocouple to a working temperature higher than the temperature of the fluid and with an evaluating circuit (12, 13) processing the thermocouple voltage, is to be improved such that the temperature dependence of the heat conductivity of the fluid to be investigated is compensated in a simple manner. To accomplish this object, the temperature coefficient of the ohmic resistance of the thermocouple (10) is adapted to the temperature dependence of the heat conductivity of the fluid such that the heating power converted in the thermocouple (10) during a change in temperature and unchanged current varies by exactly the same amount as the amount of heat released to the fluid due to the changed heat conduction.

Abstract: A panoramic periscope includes a central body (3, 3A) and a rotating head-piece (9) supported on the central body. Inside the central body, an optical path (21, 23, 101, 105, 109, 111, 113) for an optical beam (F,) coming from the head-piece (9) is provided. A viewing module (17) receives the optical beam, for observing the external scenery. A laser telemeter (19) is provided and, along the optical path, a separator element (10S) with an inner dichroic surface (105A) is passed through by the optical beam coming from the head-piece (9). The inner dichroic surface (105A) separates a laser beam coming from the head-piece (9) and deviating it towards a separate optical path (107) which conveys the laser beam towards the laser telemeter (19). The separator element (105) has an entry surface (105I) and an exit surface (105U) which are parallel with one another and passed through by the optical beam (FV), the surfaces being perpendicular to the optical beam (FV).

Abstract: A double-tube type Coriolis flow meter is provided for measuring mass flow. The flow meter includes a straight flow tube (4) through which the fluid being measured flows, a hollow outer tube (5) secured at both ends thereof to act as a counterbalance, a drive unit (7), and a pair of sensors. The flow tube (4) is caused to vibrate by the drive unit (7) so that the mass flow of the fluid is measured by detecting a phase difference proportional to Coriolis force acting on the flow tube (4) by the sensors. Sheet members (coupling plates 6) secure the flow tube (4) to both ends of the outer tube (5) and integrally form the coupling plate (6) with tube-assembly supporting leaf springs (14) in the double-tube type Coriolis flow meter. By connecting the flow tube to the outer tube via the sheet members in this manner, stresses produced between the tubes are absorbed and a uniform temperature distribution is maintained in the outer tube and manufacturing costs are reduced.

Abstract: A management information base (MIB) attribute discriminator process is employed for organizing MIB attributes for system network management station (NMS) software. The NMS software monitors and configures network devices having a system object identifier. The devices have agents comprised of software running on an embedded device microprocessor wherein the parameters that an agent can control are described in a management information base (MIB).
