Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring the operating state of a system for positioning variable-geometry members (18) of a turbomachine (10), the members (18) being configured to travel over an operating area comprising a first position P1 and a second position P2, the method comprising the steps of: —(E23) determining a first pivoting speed V1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2; —(E25) determining a second pivoting speed from the second position P2 to the first position P1; and—(E26) determining an anomaly in the operation of the system for positioning the members (18) if the first speed V1 is lower than a first determined speed threshold and/or if the second speed V2 is lower than a second determined speed threshold.

Abstract: A solid breadmaking improver whose dry matter consists essentially of one or two water-soluble food ingredients and at least one enzyme. The solid improver contains ascorbic acid and results, after dispersion of 10 g of improver in 100 g of distilled water, in liquid having a pH of 3.8 to 7.0, said liquid improver being obtained by dispersion of the solid improver in an aqueous phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing coils (9) with longitudinal sections (9a) and narrow deflection bends (9b) by winding wires (8) on winding mandrels (4) with complementary cross sections with the supply of heating energy and subsequent fixing by cooling. To attain the object to rule out the spring rebounds of the coils (9) at the points of narrowest radii of curvature as far as possible and to produce coils (9) with high precision with high efficiency, it is proposed according to the invention that the heating energy is brought to act on the coils (9) at least mainly in the region of the narrow deflection bends (9b). This can be carried out by the targeted application of heating gases or hot air, laser radiation, contact heating, plasma radiation and ultrasound.

Abstract: A method and a device for producing helical screens by winding wires made of plastic into individual spirals, which are inserted into each other in an overlapping way in the transversal direction on a working surface and are united parallel to each other into permeable sheet materials by fixing wires. In order to achieve the task to provide a method and a device with which screen belts with spirals and fixing wires can be produced with low personnel, energy and investments costs (equipment costs) and low amounts of waste with high precision and reproducibility with low time effort, the invention proposes for the spirals to be deposited on winding devices by means of moveable joining devices next to each other on the work surface after winding and to be engaged on said work surface by transverse displacements and connected to each other by the fixing wires.
