Title: Adjustable foaming chamber stem for foam-applying nozzle
Inventor: WILLIAMS LESLIE P
IPC: A62C31/03
Filed: 1990-04-18
Granted: 1992-03-05
Abstract: A quickly adjustable foaming chamber stem for a foam-applying fire-fighting nozzle wherein the fire-fighter can quickly switch from applying an optimum foam to a stream with an optimum throw. The stem is comprised of a deflector plate and a mixing plate that define a foaming chamber there between, the deflector plate having ducts that, when open, communicate a portion of the liquid and foam-stabilizmg concentrate into the chamber to form a foam. The foaming chamber, maintained at approximately atmospheric pressure, forms a small homogeneously bubbled maximum foam through liquid from the ducts striking and reflecting from the mixing plate, causing thereby turbulence and agitation. Surface portions of the mixing plate are inclined to maximize agitation.

Title: Measurement device for the non-contact detection of an angle of rotation
Inventor: BRAUN ALEXANDER
IPC: G01B7/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Granted: 2003-01-09
Abstract: A measuring instrument (10) for contactless ascertainment of a rotation angle is made up of a support plate (12) that is comprised of magnetically nonconductive material and serves as a rotor. A permanent magnet (15), which is embodied as planar, is disposed on the support plate (12) and its polarization direction is aligned diametrically to the axle (11). If the Hall element (20) is asymmetrically disposed, i.e. if the Hall element (20) describes an elliptical rotary motion in relation to the permanent magnet (15), then a steeply decreasing region and a flat region are produced in the curve of the output signal. No magnetic flux conducting parts are required in the measuring instrument (10). Furthermore, it is very small and relatively easy to incorporate into systems and devices.

Title: Collating differentiated printed products
Inventor: LEU WILLY
IPC: B65H39/075
Filed: 1986-09-25
Granted: 1988-09-22
Abstract: A plurality of hoppers or bins which are product-loadable from above are uniformly spaced from each other and are transported along a path of conveyance. The hoppers or bins, each of which is bounded by two walls or faces which are substantially transverse to the direction of conveyance, pass by a plurality of individual infeed conveyors which are staggerdly arranged in the direction of conveyance. These individual infeed conveyors possess controllable grippers or clamps which are spaced from one another. These mutually spaced clamps or grippers are used to load or fill each hopper or bin with a printed product. The mutual spacing of successive clamps or grippers and their circulating speed substantially correspond to the mutual separation distance or spacing and the circulating speed of the hoppers or bins. In order to accommodate as many hoppers or bins as possible per unit length of the path of conveyance of the hoppers or bins and still assure the problem-free loading of the hoppers or bins, each individual infeed conveyor passes over the path of conveyance of the hoppers or bins with its product transfer or delivery region inclined or sloping towards the path of conveyance. Furthermore, the product transfer or delivery region of each individual infeed conveyor is provided with a guide plate in order to guide the freely suspended edges of the printed products into the loading or infeed opening of the hoppers or bins.

Title: Battery pack for cordless device
Inventor: WHEELER DALE K
IPC: H01M50/548
Filed: 1994-03-30
Granted: 1998-02-26
Abstract: A battery pack 13 (FIG. 2) comprises an elongated cylindrical, metal casing 35, a plurality of cells 41, 43 in casing 35 and three coaxial pack terminals 46, 54, 61. For enhanced convenience, pack terminals 46, 54, 61 are electrically connectable in a cordless device 11 regardless of the angular orientation of the pack 13 about casing axis 33. To reduce cost and increase durability, pack 13 has no welded connections and will permit high current discharge rates. Cells 41, 43 are electrically connected but are mechanically disconnected. A spring 73 engages cell 41 and biases cells 41, 43 tightly together in compression to form good, low resistance electrical contact between cells 41, 43, casing base cap 45 and top 53. To provide a pack with two output voltages, the third pack terminal 61 has a polarity (relative to first pack terminal 46) the same as second pack terminal 54 and is electrically connected to the cell can terminal 43b of forward cell 43, thereby electrically by-passing cell 43.

Filed: 1994-04-07
Granted: 1997-08-14
Abstract: Transversely spaced tying lugs (12) project from the base (10) for attachment to a tooth or tooth band. Lugs (12) include opposed extensions (13, 14) for orthodontic attachment purposes. Anterior lug surfaces (17) are interrupted by an archwire slot. A movable cover (21) slidably engages the anterior surface (17). Cover (21) spans the full width of the tying lugs (12) and has a perpendicular width greater than the width of the archwire slot across the anterior surface (17). The cover (21) is supported on the bracket by a pair of guides (22) that slidably engage opposed side surfaces (15) of the tying lugs (12). The closure can form a complete tube encircling an archwire (66) across the full width of the bracket when the cover (21) is in a closed position. The bracket lugs (12) and cover (21) can also be arranged obliquely across a base (10) to provide a tipping angle across the bracket. Bracket placement is facilitated by an encircling shield (80) or cap (87), including at least one protruding extension (85) to aid in aligning and locating the bracket on a supporting tooth surface.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing printed products, such as newspapers, magazines and the like, arriving in an imbricated formation and wound packages produced thereby
Inventor: REIST WALTER
IPC: B65H29/66
Filed: 1987-01-19
Granted: 1990-07-12
Abstract: The printed products arriving in an imbricated formation are wound up into wound product packages or coils each having a substantially horizontally disposed longitudinal axis. These wound products packages possess a predetermined size and an inherent stability which permit them to be transported and intermediately stored such that their longitudinal axes extend substantially vertically without the wound product packages disintegrating or unraveling. After forming the wound product packages they are transferred from a standing position into a reclining or reposing position by means of a package turning device. In this reclining or reposing position the longitudinal axes of the wound product packages extend substantially vertically. These wound product packages are supported only at their circumference or are only held at their winding cores and are not supported in any further manner.

Granted: 2002-01-31
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for removal of biological tissue slices or layers, preferably in the form of lamellar sections of predetermined shape and thickness employing a reference member that engages a target tissue site and cooperates with a cutter in order to remove the tissue segment or lamella. The cutter can include a flexible cutting element such as a wire or band element that is brought into physical contact with a guiding edge integrated with, or otherwise coupled to, the reference member. Alternatively, the cutter can include a stiff rigid blade element that is maintained in contact with the guiding edge. The cutter is drawn along a path defined by the guide edge through the tissue to sever, at least partially, a tissue section. In one particularly useful aspect of the invention, devices for keratectomy are disclosed employing an ocular reference member that engages the upper central region of the cornea and cooperates with a cutter to remove a lamellar segment from the cornea. Such lamellar resections are useful in preparing the cornea for further surgery (by mechanical or laser surgical techniques), or in performing refractive keratectomy directly upon the eye, or in treating (e.g., smoothing) the corneal surface to correct abnormalities, (e.g., to remove ulcerated tissue or otherwise improve the optical properties of the cornea).

Abstract: Problems are caused by stress corrosion cracking and exfoliation cracking in the heat-affected zones adjacent welds in structure of welded components formed of Al alloys, particularly of the 7000 series but also of the 5000 series. The invention seeks to overcome these by the use of Al-Mg welding wire containing 0.01-0.5% Ga and/or In and/or Sn, the composition being chosen such that the weld bead has a potential at least as electronegative as the components and preferably in the range -1200 to -1300 mV with reference to a standard calomel electrode. To prevent diffusion of Ga/In/Sn, the components may be pre-coated eg by using a double-pass welding technique.
