PURPOSE:To enable measurement of the condition of each sectional plane of a long-sized specimen and inspection of an internal defect, structure, compsn. or the like over the entire part by feeding the specimen into a radiation detector and passing the specimen therethrough so that the tomographic image in each sectional plane position of the specimen is obtd. at one time. CONSTITUTION:Radioactive ...

PURPOSE:To narrow a dynamic range and to enable easy correction of data and reconstitution of an image with high accuracy by providing a mask of simple construction to the front surface of a detector if a specimen is an object having a specific shape such as a pipe or the like. CONSTITUTION:A wedge 4 is used for a cylindrical specimen 6 and a circular cylindrical mask (a material of the quality ro...

A simple low cost building arbor having a wide range of axial length or bead set length variation. The arbor has no moving parts which are not of rubber or rubber-like material and is operable by air pressure alone. An expandable ring expands, by air pressure, to hold a bead ring in axial position and independently a turn-up bladder is expanded to turn a ply sleeve end about the bead ring. Operati...

A hydraulic control device for use in an automatic transmission includes an accumulator which moderates the increased fluid pressure supplied to a hydraulically actuated frictional engagement device when a gear shift is made to a forward drive condition. The hydraulic control device has an orifice and a check valve disposed in parallel to each other in a passage supplying the fluid pressure to the...

Rapid cooling of a freshly baked moisture-containing farinaceous foodstuff article such as bread, wherein the article at its baked temperature and without deliberate pre-cooling is submitted to a reduced pressure treatment, which is applied at a plurality of rates so that on the one hand the article is not disintegrated, and on the other hand the article does not suffer an unacceptable peripheral ...

PURPOSE:To always select the speed stage suitable for work by forming the speed range selection signal which is used forward and backward in common from the signal to indicate the selection of the forward and backward speed change range and determining the upper and lower bonds of the forward and backward speed change stages.

Manufacture of a workpiece from a creep-resistant nickel superalloy which is hardened by means of an oxide dispersion, by a powder-metallurgical process in which the mechanically alloyed powder is subjected to an isothermal or quasi-isothermal hot-rolling operation, in the course of which the powder particles are converted into a flake-shaped form with a pronounced longitudinal axes, and the rolle...

A bobbin holder (1) with a pivotably mounted creel (2) has on each of its two supporting arms (3a, 3b) a freely rotatably mounted tube plate, of which one (7) possesses a centring extension (10) receiving the bobbin tube (5), axially next to said centring extension at least one yarn-catching device (12), and a bearing extension (11) surrounding a bearing journal (18) concentrically and projecting ...

In the feed of a continuously running yarn, for example to a test unit, there is often the need to change over from the yarn of one bobbin to that of another bobbin, and during this expediently the conveyance of the yarn should not be interrupted. The programme-controlled apparatus according to the invention is equipped with a swirling device, a cutting device and yarn-guide elements. It makes it ...

A knotter for a chain for two yarn ends, e.g. in a spooling frame comprises a beak which is rotatable on a beak shaft and having a blade which can be opened and closed under the control of a slider plate mounted for vertical sliding movement on the front of a knotter housing. Behind this plate a transmission connected to the beak shaft also has a shaft carrying a cam which is rotated when an input...

A device for jointing, by means of compressed air, textile yarns and for preliminarily preparing the ends of the yarns to be jointed is provided, in particular for being installed on textile machinery, such as spoolers. In order to achieve minimum overall dimensions of the device, and to the purpose of constructing it in a simple and cheap way, the device comprises a central body (10, 11, 12) bear...

Apparatus for splicing fibrous yarns includes structure having walls which define a chamber accessible to receive respective portions of the yarns and confine them adjacent one another. A gas stream may be directed into the chamber transversely to the yarn portions. Means is provided to maintain the gas stream entering the chamber, and preferably also the walls of the chamber, at an elevated tempe...
