  • Patent number: 4989988
    Abstract: An apparatus for fine-mixing, dispersing, and emulsifying media capable to flow, such as gases or fluids, comprising an injection nozzle for injecting the pre-mixed media and a hollow body with a bore, disposed mirror-inverted and at a small distance thereto, the outlet end of said nozzle and inlet end of said hollow body, seen in the direction of flow, being a part of an annular gap working as pre-emulsifying chamber. For intensifying the mixing and effecting a pre-emulsification, the hollow body with the bore is sharp-edged. The apparatus further comprises a following homogenizing chamber having at its internal walls means for enhancing the turbulence of the mixture.If no pre-mixed media are used, it is also possible to provide for one or more channels, disposed perpendicularly to the injection nozzle and reaching into said annular gap for injecting a second medium or further media.

  • Patent number: 4806777
    Abstract: Device for the contact-free measurement of a distance from a surface, particularly for scanning the contour of a surface of a workpiece along a given measuring path, comprising a measuring body enclosing optoelectronic means for transmitting light to the surface to be measured and converting the light reflected by such surface into an electrical signal as a function of the distance from the surface. The measuring body is supported on a stand and is movable in the direction of measurement. The optoelectronic means comprise a focus position measuring system and an optoelectronic position scanning unit for scanning the position of the measuring body relative to the supporting stand.

  • Patent number: 4744661
    Abstract: A device for measuring small distances, provided with a sensing tip mounted to be movable in the direction of the length to be measured, a transducer for converting the movements of the sensing tip into corresponding electric signals, and indicating means to indicate such signals. The transducer comprises an optical interferometer provided with a measuring waveguide. One end of the waveguide is connected to a laser and the other end to optical means for directing the light onto a measuring mirror disposed at a distance. The light is reflected by the mirror back to the optical means. The measuring mirror is connected to the sensing tip. The interferometer further includes a reference waveguide linked to the measuring waveguide. The reference waveguide has a mirror disposed at one end and a photoelectric transduer at the other end. The transducer is connected to the indicating means for indicating the output signals of the transducer.

  • Patent number: 4651438
    Abstract: In an apparatus for measuring the eccentricity of an eccentric bearing face having an axis of rotation, a rotary motion and a perimeter, the apparatus comprises a length measurement gauge, mounting means for mounting the length measurement gauge, means for guiding the movement of the length measurement gauge, in which the guiding means comprises a follower and two bearing tips, and means for applying the bearing tips to the eccentric bearing face. The mounting means for mounting the length measurement gauge functions to (a) maintain the length measurement gauge in the radical direction during rotary motion, and (b) enable the length measurement gauge to move perpendicularly to the axis of rotation. The guiding means functions to guide the movement of the length measurement gauge in the direction of the rotary motion of the eccentric bearing face.
