摘要:
A method is presented which makes it possible to identify powders that can be used as construction materials in a layer manufacturing method, such as a selective laser sintering method. For this purpose, the powder is mixed with at least one salt of a rare-earth metal, wherein the salt has the property of exhibiting luminescence when bombarded with photons having a wavelength outside of the visible spectrum or with particle radiation. Therefore, components produced by the layer manufacturing method can be identified with regard to the manufacturer, production site or production date.

The object of this Patent is a "Procedure to diagnose the quality, in blocks of ornamental rock of large dimensions, and devices for its implementation", whose main use is explicit in the statement of the invention itself. The claimed procedure comprises three inspection techniques, successively applicable, which respond to increasing precisions in the diagnosis, and establishing a norm of action in order to know whether the block may be cut into sections, or if it shall be considered for rejection from the process, complementing the stage of primary diagnosis with a more detailed inspection, through the carrying out of ultrasonic tomographies for the location of the fractures and in that case, of their orientation, from the spread of signals in different points of a mesh made on the surface of its sides and their digital processing.
摘要:
A method of making glasses with manufacturing systems employing platinum or molybdenum melting, fining delivery, or forming vessel, wherein the partial pressure of hydrogen outside the vessel is controlled or manipulated, relative to the partial pressure of hydrogen inside the platinum structure, to minimize surface blistering in the glass in contact with the platinum or molybdenum.

A water-immiscible marker is dissolved in polyethylene glycol or other suitable carrier, and the marker so dissolved is added to a waterborne composition which is used as an additive to a waterborne or water processable composition. Subsequently, the marker is either extracted with a non-polar solvent or detected by means of a surface spot test. From the non-polar solvent, the marker is extracted with an acidic aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution, depending upon the marker, and color-developed. Likewise, a surface spot test can detect the presence of the marker by, if necessary, first softening the marked surface to be tested either chemically or by thermal means, and developing a color with a color-developing reagent placed on the exposed surface. Applications can include the marking of paint, coatings, wax emulsions and water soluble/dispersable additives commonly used in water based applications, e.g., cement additives.

A method is provided for detecting degraded water main pipes by monitoring sonic and ultrasonic waves (110, 112, 114) and observing the characteristics of those waves. Water main pipes (30) have coiled tensioned steel wire (42) which holds the surrounding concrete (32) in compression. When corroded by water, the steel wire (73) ruptures, relieving compression in the concrete adjacent the rupture. The waves traversing the concrete of pipes have different characteristics for pipes in poor condition as compared to pipes in good condition. The sound waves in pipe in poor condition travel slower with shear waves having less amplitude and reflections occuring at later times. Frequency domain characteristics of pipes in poor condition differ from the frequency domain characteristics of pipes in good condition. For pipes in poor condition, resonance occurs at lower frequencies and a drum head effect is apparent.

A method is provided for accurately and easily measuring the properties of sand. This method consists of the steps of measuring the contraction properties of the sand, determining a feed of the sand based on the measurements of the contraction properties before a test piece is press-molded, press-molding the test piece by compacting the feed of the sand, and measuring the properties of the sand by means of the test piece.

An apparatus and method for providing a test sample (14) of concrete from a large poured area of concrete (11) includes a mold (12) placed within the concrete form (10) and having a continuous sidewall and a bottom wall. An insert (16) is spaced from the bottom wall so that a pressurization chamber (18) is formed between the insert and the botton wall. A fluid inlet tube (22) is connected to the mold in fluid communication with the pressurization chamber. A plurality of spaced apart legs (20) are formed on the insert to maintain the spacing of the insert from the bottom wall. Alternatively, the chamber can be filled with a noncompressible fluid. The test sample is removed from the concrete pour by pressurizing the chamber, and can then be taken to a laboratory and tested by conventional test devices.
摘要:
Puisqu'il est plus facile d'effectuer une mesure précise d'un volume de fluide que d'une quantité d'une substance pulvérulente, on effectue un mélange de substance pulvérulente et de fluide dans des proportions désirées en pesant un récipient avant et après adjonction d'une quantité de substance pulvérulente pour constater par différence le poids de la substance pulvérulente ajoutée, en calculant la quantité de liquide à ajouter à cette quantité pesée de substance pulvérulente et en ajoutant la quantité nécessaire de fluide à la substance pulvérulente. On procède ensuite à une mesure de conductivité du mélange, agité autant que de besoin, et une fois que la mesure de conductivité est devenue constante, elle est comparée avec un étalon et le contenu du récipient est alors acheminé vers un analyseur principal si la comparaison se situe dans une tolérance donnée ou sinon vers une purge.
