Abstract: A device for folding flaps of box blanks having crease lines transverse to the travel direction of the blanks, for use in a folder-gluer. A rotary member is rotatable around a transverse axis and provided with at least one folding arm. A removable linking device linking to a support secured to a frame of the folder-gluer. An adjusting device adjusts the position of the folding arm with respect to the support. A motor drives the rotary member. A synchronization device of the motor comprises an encoder in desmodromic connection with a drive mechanism for driving the box blanks in the drive direction and a detector of the passage past a reference position of the box blanks on the folder-gluer.

Abstract: A gamma sensor is supported coaxially in a bore, extending through the core of a nuclear reactor, by centering means which span the annular space between the gamma sensor and the bore. Said centering means also acts as a thermal bridge so that the portion of the gamma sensor contacted by the centering means will assume a thermal temperature close to that of the bore. Since poor thermal contact between the gamma sensor and the bore is thereby avoided, the accuracy of sensor readings is improved.

Abstract: A gamma thermometer is supported coaxially in a bore, extending through the core of a nuclear reactor, by spring means which span the annular space between the gamma thermometer and the bore. Said spring means acts, in addition, as a thermal bridge, so that the portion of the gamma thermometer contacted by the spring means will assume a thermal temperature close to that of the bore. Since poor thermal contact between the gamma thermometer and the bore is therefore avoided, the accuracy of readings is improved.
