Abstract: A dipole coil for use in a superconducting electromagnet employs two saddle-shaped coils in a diametrically opposed relationship. Each of the saddle-shaped coils includes central linearly extending portions, and curved saddle portions at the ends of the coil, respectively. A trapezoidal curved portion spacer is wedged into place against part of the saddle portion of the coil at the end thereof so as to exert a compressive force on such part which will inhibit displacement of the coil windings when an electromagnetic force acts thereon. In this way, friction at the coil is suppressed so as to prevent quenching. At the other end of the coil, the trapezoidal spacer includes a triangular member and a trapezoidal member spaced from one another so as to define a passageway. Leads of the coil are respectively accommodated in such passageways to prevent an excessive force from acting thereon. In this way, damage to the leads is also prevented.

Abstract: A novel construction of a superconductive coil system, having sufficient coupling strength and stiffness and being easy to assemble, is disclosed. A coil retainer of a stiffened cylindrical shell is divided into two parts for receiving coils and spacers. The inner circumference sides of the adjoining portions of the two parts form a dividing surface consisting of a plane extending longitudinally and are coupled with bolts having their axes directed in the circumferential direction. The outer circumference sides of the same adjoining portions form comb teeth meshed with each other and keyways extending longitudinally along the outer surface of the same comb teeth, and are coupled by keys inserted into the keyways and having their axes directed in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A parallel circuit which is composed of a plurality of series circuits connecting photodetectors to reading switches in series is connected to an input terminal of an operational amplifier. Both a feedback switch and a feedback capacitor are connected in parallel to the operational amplifier. The reading switches and the feedback switches are turned on/off alternately, and then an output of the operational amplifier associated with the operation of reading switches turned on is input to one of input terminals of a differential amplifier, and the output of the operational amplifier associated with the operation of the reading switches turned off is input to the other input terminal of the differential amplifier to obtain the reading signal with noise absorbed.

Abstract: A factory barge for manufacturing reinforced concrete products comprises a batcher plant mounted at one end of the hull for preparing ready mixed concrete, a reinforced concrete product unloader mounted at the opposite end of the hull, and, between the batcher plant and the unloader, in the order mentioned, concrete placers for receiving the concrete from the batcher plant and placing it into elongated molds held in the fore-and-aft direction, compactors for compacting the concrete in the molds, a curer for curing the concrete compacted in the molds, and a mold remover for removing the molds from the cured concrete products. An equipment for fabricating reinforcement cylinders is mounted on a deck above the deck where the concrete placers are installed, and means for transferring the molds from the concrete placers to the compactors, curer, and mold remover is so disposed as to handle the molds while maintaining them in the fore-and-aft direction.
