The second flow channels open into at least one of third flow channels that are open at the rear edge of the inner ring (3) or are led to an annular groove (10) open toward the honeycomb seal (4) on the underside of the inner ring (3).

Abstract: A symmetrical component of a turbine unit, whose wall is exposed to a hot medium on one side and is subject to nonuniform thermal stress over the circumference, is cooled by a flow of cooling air being guided along the other side of the component. A ring (5) is provided with slots (7) or other openings for the passage of the cooling air. The ring (5) protrudes into the flow of the cooling air. The overall cross section of the slots (7) that are arranged in the sections of the ring (5) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to the higher stress is larger than the overall cross section of the slots (7) that are arranged in the sections of the ring (5) that are adjacent to the areas of the component that are subject to a lower stress.

Abstract: The present a step controller includes a switching circuit having at least two outputting states, especially a three-level switch (DPS1) with negative feedback, and a PI or PID controller having an integrator (I1). The integrator is inactive during the positioning pulse of the three-level switch. The integrator (I1) is provided with a correcting element (CORR) which reduces the reset time (Tn) for a large input signal (xd). In this way, linear behavior of the step controller can be attained over the entire positioning range of a positioning element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a colored image for color proofing of copy masters for multicolor printing and a layer material for carrying out this process.A positive image of the exposure mask (color separation film) is produced by lamination of a photosensitive material onto a colored layer material, followed by imagewise exposure and peeling-off of a film support, or a negative image of the exposure mask is obtained by imagewise exposure of the photosensitive material before the lamination, accompanied by flood exposure after lamination followed by peeling-off of a film support. The two procedures use the same materials and do not require wet development. For each single-color image, only one lamination step is required.

Abstract: A process for producing a colored image by laminating a light-sensitive material comprising a temporary support film (i), a colored light-sensitive layer and a heat-activable adhesive layer onto an image-receiving material at elevated temperature and under pressure, subjecting the light-sensitive layer to imagewise exposure and developing by peeling off the support film, characterized in that the image-receiving material comprises a light-sensitive compound which, on irradiation, releases a gas which remains trapped in the image-receiving material in the form of gas bubbles. The advantage of the process is that, on irradiation under a halftone original, the size of the halftone dots in the coloured image produced on such an image-receiving material is optically reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a development material by means of a latent, colored image, obtained by laminating another, photopolymerizable material colored in a primary color onto an image-receiving material, peeling-off the film support and exposing the material under the associated negative color separation film, can be developed by laminating the development material onto the latent image and then peeling-off the development material together with the non-image areas. The invention also relates to a process for the production of a color proof using this development material in combination with photopolymerizable materials in the various primary colors.

Depending on the processing variant, both positive and negative film masters can be processed, even simultaneously on a single receiving material, and it is not necessary for the emission spectrum of the light source to be variable.

Abstract: The invention describes a photopolymerizable recording material which comprises a photopolymerizable layer and a cover layer. The cover layer comprises a polymer which possesses low permeability to atmospheric oxygen and is soluble in water, and a water-soluble dye which absorbs light in the region from 300 to 700 nm and within this range has a non-absorbent region corresponding to the emission range of the copying light source.The material can be sensitized for various spectral regions, for example, for UV light, visible light or laser light and has a higher resolving power than a corresponding material which does not contain a dye in the cover layer, while its photosensitivity remains unchanged or is only slightly reduced.

Abstract: A process for the production of a color image is described, in which a photosensitive material that has a temporary support film, a colored photosensitive layer and an adhesion-promoting layer that can be activated by heat is laminated at high temperature and under pressure with an image-receiving material which carries, on a support, a pigment layer containing a white pigment. The photosensitive layer is exposed imagewise and developed to produce an image, the temporary support film is peeled off from the image-receiving material before or after exposure to light and, if required, these steps are repeated with at least one further photosensitive material whose colored layer has another color to produce a multi-colored image. The process gives color images having a smaller dot enlargement compared with a halftone original and is particularly suitable for the color testing of copy for multicolor printing.
