  • Publication number: 20030189713
    Abstract: A system for measuring diameter (inner and/or outer) of a tubular, the system in at least certain aspects including at least one linear distance measuring device with respect to which a tubular to be measured is movable, the at least one linear distance measuring device including a detector for detecting a surface of the tubular, the detector movably mounted to mount apparatus, the detector movable longitudinally along the surface of the tubular and movable axially in response to variation in diameter of the tubular, a rotatable head rotatable with respect to the tubular either outside of it or within it, the mount apparatus secured to the rotatable head, at least one signal production apparatus secured to the mount apparatus or head, and in communication with the linear distance measuring device, the at least one signal production apparatus for producing a signal indicative of distance between said detector and a known point, and transmitting apparatus for transmitting said signals to processing equipment fo

  • Publication number: 20020101057
    Abstract: An front wall of an armored vehicle is formed with a large-diameter hole and has a tow hitch in turn having a generally cup-shaped reinforcement plate having an outer periphery engaging an inner face of the front wall around the hole. This plate is forwardly concave toward the hole and the outer periphery is welded to the inner face of the wall by a weld. A tow-eye bar fixed to the center of the reinforcement plate extends forward through the hole. The hole and plate are circular and the plate is of greater diameter than the hole.

  • Patent number: 5871145
    Abstract: A folding box for packing articles in which the folding box has a one-piece parallelepiped body. An insert for the articles and a compartment for a package leaflet is disposed in the body. The one-piece blank of the folding box is embodied such that the folding box can be produced with only a few folding operations. This is attained by a special disposition of an insert on a longitudinal gluing flap.

  • Patent number: 5736208
    Abstract: A heat shrinkable shed (2) is mounted on a power cable (12) and sealed thereto by a hot-melt adhesive (10). Four projections (8) are equispaced around the interior surface of the shed (2) to penetrate the adhesive (10) and to engage the outer surface of the cable (12) to enhance the longitudinal retention of the shed (2) on the cable (12), particularly under conditions of thermal cycling.

  • Patent number: 5657610
    Abstract: A packaging machine (10) for processing fold boxes (15) with integrated support frames (25) has respectively one raising element (47) moving along with each fold box (15), which raises the support frame (25) lying flat against the inside of the fold box (15). A support element (50) is furthermore associated with each raising element (47), which interlockingly supports the support frame (25) during the insertion of objects (30, 35) into the fold box (15).

  • Patent number: 5429243
    Abstract: A packaging box for receiving a plurality of fragile elongated objects, such as small bottles, ampoules or the like, has a compartmented insert with at least one partition. To enable additionally accommodating a brochure in the folding box in a readily visible and accessible manner, a separate wall is disposed parallel to one broad side wall of the folding box; the partitions adjoin this separate wall, which together with the one broad side wall forms a pocket for receiving the folded brochure.

  • Patent number: 5402889
    Abstract: A folding box for packaging breakable articles such as ampules, miniature bottles, vials, or the like, having an insert to hold the articles. The insert is secured to a side wall of the folding box by base strips. The insert has two backdrop walls with openings and a strut, which connects the backdrop walls to one another. A compartment is embodied between the strut and the neighboring side wall to receive a package insert.

  • Patent number: 4039357
    Abstract: A hydrogen transport process for cleaning the surface of an indium or gallium based semiconductor material and for depositing n-type cadmium sulfide on the cleaned semiconductor material is disclosed. The cleaning and deposition can be accomplished in sequence or simultaneously. The process entails adding hydrogen sulfide to a hydrogen gas flow in a chemical vapor deposition process. Single crystalline photovoltaic cells of p-InP/n-CdS with a 13.5% efficiency have been reproducibly fabricated. An efficiency of 4.6% has been obtained with a thin layer polycrystalline p-InP/n-CdS cell. Additionally, a p-GaAs/n-CdS heterodiode cell has been produced.
