Abstract: A tuning fork-controlled gyro includes two legs and a base part, one end of each leg being connected with the base part and the legs being freely vibratable and provided with an electrode pattern comprising drive electrodes for generating a vibration in the legs of the tuning fork either in the plane of the tuning fork or out of the plane of the tuning fork and sensing electrodes for sensing vibrations occurring in the legs of the tuning fork in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which the vibration was generated.

Abstract: In an opening device for tetrahedral-shaped or parallel piped-shaped packaging containers, a strip of packaging material is provided with tear perforation lines substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip of material. The tear perforation lines intersecting a transverse seam on the packaging material are located relative to one another such that they converge at a point in a finished packaging container.

Abstract: A method for a supervising and/or controlling of discharged volume or weight of plastic mass flow for e.g. extrusion, injection moulding or blow moulding in a system including a plastification section, which feeds the plastic melt to a volumetric discharge device. This discharge device discharges in turn the molten material continuously or in portions to a forming tool. The pressure and temperature of the plastic melt is determined in connection with the discharge device and the density of the plastic material is calculated by means of these measured values.

Abstract: Method for controlling the processing and output feeding of plastic melt by extrusion, by means of an extrusion plant including a process unit (1) for processing the plastic material, a pump (3) for feeding the plastic melt to a die (4) or the like, and a screen pack assembly positioned between the process unit (1) and the pump (3). In the process unit (1) the melt is imparted a constant level of kinetics of extrusion, and the plastic melt pressure (P2) between the screen pack assembly (2) and the pump (3) is kept above a predetermined level. As a measure of the level of kinetics of extrusion, the pressure (P1) of the melt between the process unit (1) and the screen pack assembly (2), is used, preferably in combination with the melt pressure (P2) after the screen pack assembly (2).

Abstract: A plate heat exchanger has a frame plate, a pressure plate and heat exchange plates clamped therebetween, all suspended from a carrying bar passing through a hole in the pressure plate and extending at least some distance into a corresponding hole in the frame plate. The pressure plate is slidable on the carrying bar. The frame plate and the pressure plate are identical so that the hole for the carrying bar in the frame plate is identical to the hole for the carrying bar in the pressure plate. The carrying bar is fastened in the frame plate by means of a locking device.

Abstract: A mitre cutter arrangement is provided for making mitred cuts in cable ditches. The arrangement comprise a mitre table with a base and a number of guide members extending from the base of the table in spaced relationship so as to accommodate standardized sizes of the cable ditches; clamps for clamping the cable ditch to the mitre table, and a mitre ruler provided with at least one flange extending along the side edge thereof and a groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the ruler. The groove receives a saw blade, and clamps are provided which secure the mitre ruler to the cable ditch. A saw device, guided by mitre ruler, carriers the saw blade as well as guide wheels running along the mitre ruler.

Abstract: A rail vehicle slack adjuster in a brake unit has an axially movable piston rod (7), a non-rotatable, brake force delivering spindle (8), an adjuster nut (26) in non-self-locking engagement with the spindle and rotating on a bearing (18), and a barrel spring (29) between the unit piston (3) and the spindle, the adjuster nut being clutchable over a main clutch (27) to the piston rod for transmitting brake force. A non-rotatable locking sleeve (20), which is only axially movable a control distance (A) under the action of a locking spring (21), is clutchable to the adjuster nut over a control clutch (28).

Abstract: Measurement devices are provided on the boom and stick of an excavator and are diposed to measure, by means of the gravitational force, the angle of the boom and the stick, respectively, relative to the horizontal plane. These measurement values are applied to an evaluation instrument which indicates the excavation depth on the basis of the length of the boom and the stick and with the help of the received values. Furthermore, means may be provided to measure the lifting force exercised by the boom ram, this measurement being also applied to the evaluation instrument whereby it can, by means of the first-mentioned measurement values, also indicate the turning moment exercised on the boom and the stick.
