  • Patent number: 6116881
    Abstract: A device for lifting an upper part of a curing press steam chamber includes rollers which move along guideways. The lifting device allows an upper part of the steam chamber to be lifted off a lower part of the steam chamber and moved laterally to allow easy access to both the upper part of the steam chamber and the lower part of the steam chamber. A linear motor moves the rollers along the guideways to lift the upper part of the steam chamber off the lower part of the steam chamber. The linear motor may be a translating screw or a hydraulic cylinder motor. A longitudinal axis of the linear motor forms an angle with the guideways which is smaller than a right angle at all positions.

  • Patent number: 4967365
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for adaptive control of the path of movement of a working tool during a working process wherein an acoustic signal is generated responsive to contact of the working tool with the workpiece and wherein stochastic signals are picked up during the course of the working process. On the basis of characteristic features of these signals the path of the working tool is corrected in order to maintain required conditions of the working process.

  • Patent number: 4815344
    Abstract: The invention concerns a control mechanism designed for manipulation with a stressing rod of a stressing unit which is used for fastening and prestressing of bolts, e.g. for flange joints of large pressure vessels, especially for flange joints of nuclear reactor vessels. The drive of the control mechanism of the stressing unit is a pseudo-planetary system of a gear mechanism which has the ability of both manual and mechanical control. A crown gear wheel is equipped with outer teeth and inner teeth. An inserted gear wheel of a driving pinion mates with the outer teeth. Only three planet gear wheels are inserted between the inner teeth of the crown gear wheel and the outer spur teeth of a central gear wheel. The central gear wheel is formed into the shape of a cylindrical shell which is bedded by its lower side, having a certain radial move possibility, on a wire bearing placed on a carrying body.

  • Patent number: 4561866
    Abstract: Contaminants of oil fillings of technological units using oil as a cooling, lubricating, insulating, or power medium, are removed by periodically applying a separating working cycle and a pressure working cycle in a vessel connected with the oil system of the technological unit, and returning the cleaned oil to the oil system of the unit. In the course of the separating working cycle, gaseous and liquid contaminants in the vessel are brought to boiling by under-pressure generated by a reversible pump; a gas-liquid cushion created thereby above the oil surface in the vessel is displaced from the vessel in the course of the following pressure working cycle, which is caused by the reverse action of the pump, while the cleaned oil is returned to the oil system of the technological unit. Both cycles are repeated as often as required to clean the oil to the desired degree.

  • Patent number: 4319958
    Abstract: Contactless transmission of information about temperatures within a fuel assembly of a nuclear reactor by means of a thermoelement situated in the fuel assembly, the thermoelement generating a magnetic field the intensity of which is proportional to the temperature within the fuel assembly. A harmonic magnetic sensing element disposed outside the fuel assembly for registering the value of intensity of this magnetic field is employed, the sensing element being connected to an arrangement for the evaluation of such. The fuel assembly is provided with a sheath or housing which permits the passage of the magnetic field therethrough.

  • Patent number: 4314690
    Abstract: Hydraulic apparatus for the generation of large tensile forces by means of a number of stacked power units, each having a hydraulically energized power cell, the stack of units being disposed in alignment with the member to be stressed. The power cells are connected and parallel, in their surfaces rest against supporting plates which provide a clearance therebetween so as to permit an expansion of said cells when they are subjected to hydraulic pressure. A similarly supported return cell causes the power cells to return to their initial positions when hydraulic pressure is removed from them.
