Abstract:
The indirect extrusion press includes a container (13) with opposite axial ends and an axial cavity for receiving a billet (17). A bolster (21) is disposed adjacent one axial end of the container for blocking movement of a billet out of the cavity when a force is applied against the billet from the other axial end of the container. A ram (31) is mounted on the side of the container adjacent the other axial end of the container for movement in the axial direction of the container. A rotatable turret (43) is mounted on the ram, and a hollow pressing stem (55) is mounted on the turret. The turret is rotatable for placing the hollow pressing stem in a first position aligned with the extrusion axis, and in a second position off of the extrusion axis. When the hollow pressing stem is in the first position it communicates with an axial passage through the ram and can be moved axially, via the ram, to press a die through the cavity to extrude a billet to form an extrusion product. When the hollow pressing stem is in the second position it permits other tooling (57) to perform operations on the extrusion axis of the press.
Abstract:
Appareil (10) pour prépoinçonner les billettes (110), composé d'un conteneur (66) généralement cylindrique destiné à recevoir et maintenir une billette (110), elle aussi généralement cylindrique, d'un mandrin (36) monté de manière à pouvoir se déplacer sur l'axe du cylindre afin de percer la billette (110), et d'un porte-matrice (90) qui engage la billette (110) pendant son percement par le mandrin (36). Ledit porte-matrice (90) comprend un tourillon (94) mobile le long de l'axe du conteneur (66) et dont une extrémité entre en contact avec la billette (110) pendant son percement par le mandrin (36), de sorte que cette dernière se déforme aux alentours de cette extrémité. Pendant son déplacement avant le poinçonnement de la billette (110), le mandrin (36) transporte en direction de celle-ci un support mobile (42) conçu de manière à pouvoir pénétrer dans le conteneur (66) et à en engrener une partie, afin de renforcer la rigidité du mandrin (36) et de l'empêcher de fléchir lors du percement de la billette (110).
Abstract:
An indirect extrusion process, and apparatus therefor, for producing an extrusion product from a hot metal billet (25). A press container (21A) is mounted to be substantially axially stationary during extrusion of a billet. A hot biller (25), a die (27) and a pressure disc (29) are loaded into the axial throughbore (24) of the container (21A) so that the billet is sandwiched between the die (27) and pressure disc (29), with the pressure disc having a maximum outer diameter between opposite radial faces which is slightly less than the diameter of the axial throughbore (24) to define a diametrical clearance (55 and 57) between the pressure disc and the press container. A bolster (31) is located adjacent the pressure disc (29) and is axially fixed to substantially prevent axial movement of the pressure disc in a direction toward the bolster during extrusion. The bolster (31) exerts a relatively insignificant axial force against the container (21A). An elongated stem (17) having an axial passage is moved into the throughbore of the container to press the die toward the bolster, causing the billet to be extruded through the die to create an extrusion product which exits the container through the axial passage (19) in the stem, while extrusion of the billet through the diametrical clearance between the pressure disc and the container is substantially avoided.
Abstract:
An adapter for permitting a medical diagnostic instrument having an illumination source including at least one LED (light emitting diode) to be used with a power supply normally configured for use with a diagnostic instrument having at least one incandescent lamp as an illumination source. The adapter includes circuitry for compensating LED specific characteristics for permitting the power supply to be used with the LED.

Abstract:
There are disclosed compositions for use as extreme pressure lubricants for use in general machinery as well as in the refrigerant of air conditioners, refrigerators and heat pumps. The compositions are designed to lubricate moving parts of machinery. In its broadest aspect the invention comprises a metal conditioner containing a lubricating oil and a bismuth compound. A further embodiment involves a lubricating oil, a bismuth compound and a molybdenum compound. The lubricating compounds can be added to a refrigerant gas.
Abstract:
Système de propulsion électromécanique pour véhicules, dans lequel le moteur premier (10), tel qu'un moteur à combustion interne, entraîne un générateur de tension alternative (20) par l'intermédiaire d'un premier arbre (30) à un nombre de tours/minute constant commandé par un régulateur de vitesse (40); dans ce système le générateur de tension alternative (20) sert de source d'énergie pour une unité de conversion d'énergie électrique comprenant un redresseur commandé (50), un générateur de signaux polyphasés (100), une unité de commande analogique (150) et une alimentation en courant continu stabilisé (140), constituant une source de fréquence et de puissance variable pour un moteur de traction à courant alternatif (60) couplé au système d'entraînement des roues du véhicule (80) au travers d'un deuxième arbre (70). Une commande manuelle ou par pédale du système de la part de l'opérateur est en outre possible au moyen d'un potentiomètre de commande de vitesse (110), d'un potentiomètre de commande d'accélération (120) et d'un potentiomètre de commande de couple (130).
