Patent number: 5947801Abstract: A pressure bar for a belt grinding machine includes an elongated carrier (10) with a base plate (12) facing the grinding belt (20) and having a plurality of bores arranged in a matrix pattern, in which bores axially freely movable bolt-shaped pressure members (16) are held. The pressure members have free ends for engagement with the grinding belt (20). A plurality of positioning devices (26) are arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the carrier (10) with each having a ram adjustable perpendicularly to the base plate (12) to groupwise position the pressure members (16) in their bores. Between the ends of the pressure members (16) remote from the grinding belt (20) and the rams (28) of the positioning devices (26) is arranged an elastic lamina (22) common to all of the pressure members and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 1998Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Inventor: George Weber

Patent number: 5405837Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of neoplastic disease in warm blooded animals using the sequential administration of tiazofurin and ribavirin. Tiazofurin is administered first in a high dose in order to facilitate a sharp decrease in IMP DH activity. These gains are consolidated by the continual administration of tiazofurin until the hematological levels have stabilized and remission is achieved. Once the patient is in remission, ribavirin is administered in steadily tapering dosages until the minimum dosage that will retain the beneficial effect of the tiazofurin is achieved. The IMP DH activity, GTP concentration, and hematological data is continually monitored throughout the treatment and dosages adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1993Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Indiana University FoundationInventor: George Weber

Patent number: 5010948Abstract: The device comprises two parallel horizontal rolls (2a, 2b) delimiting therebetween an inserted volume for the liquid metal (1) to be cast, the ends of the volume being closed by plates (4) with a predetermined clearance between the latter and the surfaces of the rolls against which they are maintained. In order to maintain the clearance constant during successive castings, the plates (4) incorporate rolling members (7) bearing against the end surfaces of the rolls (2a, 2b) and projecting from surfaces of the plates (4) a distance equal to the desired clearance (e). The plates (4) are biased toward the rolls by springs (10) which bear against a frame (2). The rolling members (7) (rollers and/or balls) avoid any wear of the plates and this clearance is automatically maintained by the action of the springs (10) during the casting operations.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1990Date of Patent: April 30, 1991Assignee: Institut de Recherces de la Siderurgie Francaise "IRSID"Inventors: Philippe Blin, Georges Weber, Jacques Barbe

Patent number: 4312094Abstract: Apparatus for rapidly cooling elongated products during the movement thereof in longitudinal direction mainly comprises an elongated tube, a cooling water feed head communicating with one open end of the tube and a separator communicating with the other open end of the tube. The cooling water feed head and the separator are respectively provided in walls facing the opposite ends of the tube with openings aligned with the tube axis through which the product passes surrounded by a cooling water jet during its passage through the tube into the separator. A first device is located in the separator for reducing the diameter of the cooling water jet, and a second device, preferably in form of a secondary water jet, extends transverse to the axis of the tube spaced from the first device, is provided in the separator for shearing the water jet of reduced diameter surrounding the product.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1979Date of Patent: January 26, 1982Inventors: Jean-Claude Daverio, Francis Bertolotti, Georges Weber

Patent number: 4308881Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an elongated product during its movement through the apparatus comprises an elongated tube having a cooling fluid inlet at one end and a cooling fluid outlet at the other end so that the cooling fluid will flow from the one to the other end through the tube. The product to be cooled passes through the tube either in the same or in a direction opposite to the direction of flow of cooling fluid through the tube. At least one centralizing element is provided in the tube spaced from the opposite ends of the latter and having a central passage coaxial with the tube and a diameter smaller than that of the tube for the passage of the product therethrough, and a plurality of channels uniformly distributed about the central passage to facilitate flow of cooling water from one to the other end of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1980Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Assignee: Institut de Recherches de la Siderurgie FrancaiseInventors: Francis Bertolotti, Jean-Claude Daverio, Georges Weber
