The invention is directed to a coupling arrangement for changing a compon on a block of a hoist which is fitted with a rotary drive. The coupling arrangement has an upper part which remains on the block and which has a latching mechanism for accommodating a lower part. Each tool or component which is to be coupled to the block has a lower part which can be coupled and latched together with the upper part so that by changing the lower part, it is possible to change the component. In order to achieve a reliable and rapid remote exchange of a component on a hoist, the upper part is configured as a hollow cylindrical part which is provided with a bottom wall. The bottom wall has a central aperture from which extend two radial slots. The hollow cylinder and the lower wall conjointly define a housing for the latching mechanisms which are disposed at about 90.degree. in relation to corresponding ones of the radial slots. In the region of the two latching mechanisms there are respective latching channels for accommodating horizontal supporting pins of the lower part carrying the particular component. The supporting pins are passed through the radial slots and the upper part is rotated to seat the supporting pins in the latching channels.

The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for performing remotemanipulated work on a conduit of a nuclear facility. The method of the invention is for maintaining pipe conduits in a radioactively contaminated cell such as a large-area cell of a reprocessing facility for irradiated nuclear fuel. The defective conduit portion to be removed is sawn out of a conduit and a replacement conduit segment is welded into the conduit. In order to provide for rapidly and accurately welding the replacement conduit segment into the conduit, the step of machining the two conduit end portions is combined with the step of determining the inside dimension between the conduit end portions formed by the step of sawing out the defective conduit portion. An apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention is also disclosed.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for carrying out repair, maintenance or testing of apparatus, components and the like in hot cells, more particularly hot cells of reprocessing plants for spent nuclear fuels. The position of damage zones is detected and ascertained with the use of coordinates. Replacement parts and tools are moved into the maintenance and work position in dependence upon the coordinate data, and the repair or maintenance work is automatically carried out under computer control, with remote operation and remote monitoring. For carrying out the work, computer-controlled handling machines and manipulators are used which are adapted to travel in controllable manner in the hot cell. The monitoring and detecting, using coordinates, of damage zones and defects may be carried out with the use of cameras and/or leak detectors.

The invention is directed to an arrangement for adjusting a saddle of a cycle in elevation. The arrangement includes a saddle support 1 which can be adjusted in elevation and which is mounted in an inclined frame tube 8 of the cycle. The saddle support 1 can be subjected to hydraulic pressure. A hollow body 20 is fixed in the frame tube 8 and receives the support tube 10 of the saddle support 1. The hollow body 20 and the support tube 10 conjointly define a pressure space 201 which is variable in volume. This pressure space 201 can be connected to a pressure medium storage vessel 40 via a remotely-manipulated actuating valve 403.

The invention is directed to a method and arrangement for providing safe vertical landing of airplanes, which are not provided with VTOL equipment or which are hindered with respect to their actual flight capabilities, as well as for providing extrinsically supported zero-run takeoff of airplanes. An airplane equipped with lower takeup means is coupled in flight to upper takeup means carried by a rotary wing aircraft flying above the airplane. The rotary wing aircraft generates the propulsion necessary to transport the airplane and the lifting force and sets it down vertically. Zero-run takeoff is initiated by lifting the airplane and accelerating it into its direction of flight by the rotary wing aircraft. When sufficient height, speed against wind and self-propulsion are gained, the airplane releases the connection to the upper takeup means and flies without assistance.

Apparatus is described for remotely positioning, connecting, and generallyandling components in a hot cell of a reprocessing plant for spent nuclear fuels. The apparatus includes a housing mounting a first stationary clamp for holding one end of a pipe and a second movable clamp for holding the end of a second pipe to be welded to the first. By adjusting the movable clamp, the pipe therein can be aligned with the pipe in the stationary clamp. The movable clamp can be moved longitudinally to press the pipe ends together, upwardly to compensate for pipe out of round, and can be tilted where pipes are to be joined at an angle. The adjustment permits accurate alignment of the parts. A tool support is rotatably mounted on said stationary clamp to permit welding or other processing through 360.degree..

An aqueous artificial resin dispersion, comprising an aqueous phase and a water-insoluble disperse phase formed from particles containing a copolymer formed in substantial part from a water insoluble or slightly soluble first monomer, wherein the copolymer additionally is formed from a second monomer of the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents hydrogen or methyl, R' represents hydrogen or an alkyl radical with 1 to 12 C-atoms, R" represents an alkyl radical with 7 to 20 C-atoms, and M represents a proton, an alkali metal ion, or an ammonium ion, with the proviso that the aqueous phase is free of low molecular weight, ionic emulsifying agents. Such dispersions are particularly well suited for continuous emulsion polymerization because of the highly stable monomer emulsions formed by mixtures produced according to the invention.
