Abstract: An implementation of coded time-domain reflectometry that can be incorporated in a transmitter as a built-in test function is disclosed. A sequence of a signal that is being transmitted is captured, delayed and used for correlation to a received reflected signal from the transmission medium. A correlation signal is obtained if the delay value of the captured signal sequence corresponds to the roundtrip delay from the transmitter to a reflection point of the medium. Based to the relation between delay values and the strength of the correlated signal, the magnitude of reflective points throughout the transmission medium can be evaluated. In the preferred embodiment, the transmitter is an optical transmitter, and the transmission medium is optical fiber.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine and method for making the machine, where the machine includes a high-voltage stator winding and elongated support devices for supporting the winding. The machine and method employ an arrangement of cable that is made of inner conductive strands, covered with a first semiconducting layer, which is covered with an insulating layer, which is covered with a second semiconducting layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a film feeding mechanism for use during medical x-ray techniques, particularly angiography. Sheets of film are fed sequentially at high speed from a film magazine into a film exposure device, and then into a film receiving cassette, in a manner so as to reduce damage to the films, including the build-up and discharge of static charge on the films. In the film exposure device, a free-floating lower clamping assembly clamps each film against an upper clamping assembly from the center of the film progressively outward towards its leading and trailing ends, to eliminate wrinkling of the film. The upper clamping assembly is of thin construction so as to enable the locating of an object being x-rayed closely adjacent the x-ray film, to produce x-rays of exceptionally high resolution.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measured injection of additives into oil products and the like, in particular aims at the filling of fuel in tank farms for transport by tank trucks. Each batch of fuel shall have a pre-set proportion of additive. After each terminated filling and successively at a number larger than one, there is recorded a signal (S6) which represents discrepancies between actually supplied amount of additive and the amount which corresponds to the pre-set proportion. From the first signal (S6) there is calculated a further signal (S7) which represents discrepancies throughout said number of fillings and this further signal serves as a reference or correction value during the subsequent filling operation. A particular supply conduit (10) for fuel is adapted to give a through flow of fuel in order to remove remaining amounts of additive from the measuring system itself.

Abstract: Disclosed is a film feeding mechanism for use during medical x-ray techniques, particularly angiography. Sheets of film are fed sequentially at high speed into and out of a film exposure device, by a feed mechanism including continuously driven feed wheels and movable pinch rollers, in a manner so as to reduce damage to the films, including the build-up and discharge of static charge on the films. In the film exposure device, a free-floating lower clamping assembly, having a natural substantially flat configuration, clamps each film against an upper clamping assembly from the center of the film progressively outward towards its leading and trailing ends, to eliminate wrinkling of the film. A firing command is transmitted to an X-ray generator before each unexposed sheet of film reaches the exposure position and each cycle of operation is accomplished by energizing a single revolution clutch connectable to a continuously running, constant speed motor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for pyrometallurgically recovering the precious metal content, such as gold, silver and platinum metals, of halogen-bearing materials rich in silver. The material is caused to rapidly disperse in or be finely distributed throughout an at least partially molten charge containing a non-oxidic metal-containing phase having the ability to dissolve precious metals and to substantially lower their chemical activity. The halogen content of the material herewith reacts with any fluxes or metals of high chemical activity present in the furnace charge, while forming metal halogenides. The halogenides formed are separated by slagging and/or volatilization, and the precious metals are recovered from the molten charge, depleted of halogens, in a conventional manner and with regard to the charge phases.

C., but beneath the melting points of respective ingredients of the mix, while maintaining good contact with hot gas therewith to expel substantially all of the aforementioned impurities present.
