  • Patent number: 5093050
    Abstract: A novel method for generating orientation of short fibers in the matrix of a composite material allows for production of complex high strength components. With state of the art technologies short fibers can be oriented only by elongational flows and these are generally applicable only to extrusion products. The invention is based on the fundamental discovery that short fibers can be oriented by relative movement against a finer three-dimensional isotropic network. Gel networks are of molecular level and satisfy this scaling requirement even for whiskers. The process involves mixing-in the fibers with a gel, pouring (injecting) the mixture into a mold and then orienting the fibers by moving them relative to the gel network. The movement can be driven by sound waves. When orientation is accomplished, the gel is solidified forming the matrix of the composite.

  • Patent number: 5091983
    Abstract: In an optical micromechanical method for changing the phase of guided waves and a measurement method for measuring very small mechanical displacements and/or mechanical forces or pressures, including the pressure of sound waves and ultrasonic waves, and/or accelerations, the distance d between a section (1') of an optical waveguide (1) in an integrated optic or fibre optic circuit and a phase-shifting element (5) separated from said section (1') by a gap (4) is varied by forces (6) or by thermal expansion due to changes in temperature. The phase of the guided wave (3) is thereby modulated, and reciprocally the changes in distance d and hence small mechanical displacements and the forces (6) which produce them are determined from the measured phase changes.

  • Patent number: 5085147
    Abstract: A stun grenade includes a tubular housing to slidably receive a munitions canister. A cup-shaped end cap closes one end of the housing and frictionally engages an outer wax-coated surface of the housing adjacent the end. At the other end a fuze retention disk is retained in the housing and has a threaded opening to receive any one of several possible fuze assemblies. When using a manually operable fuze, the handle thereof is provided with a color-coded coating to identify the nature of the explosive charge provided in the grenade. The handle also has one or more lumps formed thereon to provide a tactile code, consistent with the color, to identify the grenade type. The fuze retention disk includes spikes establishing a fixed spacing between the munitions canister and the fuze held in the fuze retention disk.

  • Patent number: 5084906
    Abstract: For counting printed products (D) conveyed in a scale flow, a contact element (K) is moved in the printed product conveying direction at a speed (v.sub.2) higher than the conveying speed (v.sub.1). Thus, the contact element (K) contacts the trailing edge (F.sub.k) of a printed product (D.sub.k) and on each contact a counting pulse is emitted and the contact element is subsequently returned to its starting position. This process is cyclically repeated correlated with the average time interval between two succeeding printed products (D.sub.k, D.sub.k-l).

  • Patent number: 5080100
    Abstract: The disclosure concerns radio-therapy machines and installations. The precise position of a patient is verified by means of a device mounted on the movable arm of a mount with isocentric motion. This device includes a system for scanning by a light beam. The position of the source of this light beam corresponds to the position of radiation source. The device further has a system for the optical detection of the point of impact of the light beam on the patient. These two systems enable the position of the point of impact to be determined by means of a data-processing system.

  • Patent number: 5074678
    Abstract: A rolling body with guide channel, in which a rolling element cage with rolling elements is arranged in the rolling body and the guide channel has rail members for the rolling of the rolling elements, is characterized in that the rolling body has a rolling element cage, in which in recesses are provided at least one preferably triplet of three rolling elements, in such a way that the centers of the rolling elements have the same reciprocal spacings and that in the guide channel for each rolling element of the triplet is provided a guide rail, the guide rails being so reciprocally positioned and spaced, that with the rolling body inserted therein the rolling elements of the triplet are in reciprocal contact and each is in contact with rail member. In the case of a purely suspended operation, a pair of two rolling element can be used in place of a triplet. However this is a special case for an operating form in which only tensile loads occur at right angles to the guide channel.

  • Patent number: 5074037
    Abstract: The process for wiring substrates with a universal pattern of conductors and a large number of predetermined bonding/cutting localities is characterized in that from the quantity of all the possibilities for bonding and cutting is removed the quantity necessary for the realization of a given application, after realization of one given circuit this quantity is tested for further possibilities for realizing the circuit, and the found quantity of possibilities is made available as a correction quantity. The advantage of such a correction potential is that layout or contacting errors can be corrected in a second passage, so that wastage is reduced.

  • Patent number: 5074398
    Abstract: A buffer storage arrangement contains at least two roll modules (41-44) with interchangeable roll hubs or rolls. A common feed belt (11), the winding planes of the roll modules (41-44) and a common removal belt (12) are located in a vertical plane. The feed belt (11) passes linearly over the winding stations (41-44) and has a number of branching locations (51-54) corresponding at least to the number of winding stations (41-44). Each winding station (41-44) has a connection to the removal belt (12), which passes linearly beneath the winding stations. In order to be able to select the reciprocal arrangement of the products at the outlet, within the apparatus at least one device (7, 79) is provided for rewinding the rolls or for modifying the inlet parameters of the arrangement of the printed products. This permits unrestricted off-line buffer storage or the products and flexible conversion of their inlet parameters, with respect to their reciprocal positioning, orientation or timing frequency.
