Abstract: A fluid scavenging system is provided for a lubrication system including a gas
turbine engine (12) having bearing compartments. A valve (16) includes a housing (26)
with an outlet (30) and a plurality of fluid inlets (28a,28b,28c,28d) respectively in fluid
communication with the bearing compartments. The valve (16) includes a rotationally
driven member (36) arranged within the housing (26) with the member (36) having a
plurality of ports (38a,38b,38c,38d) arranged thereon each defming an arcuate slot. Each
of the ports (38a,38b,38c,38d) are selectively in fluid communication with one of the fluid
inlets (28a,28b,28c,28d) through the arcuate slot during rotation of the member for
selectively permitting fluid flow between the opening of one of the fluid inlets through
one of the corresponding ports in the member. A fluid pump (20) is fluidly connected to
the outlet (30) for drawing fluid from each of the plurality of fluid compartments during
fluid rotation of the member (36). The driven member (36) rotates about an axis 360°,
and preferably, the ports (38a,38b,38c,38d) are respectively aligned with the fluid inlets
(28a,28b,28c,28d) for approximately at least 360° such that the pump (20) does not run
dry. The arcuate slots may overlap during a range of degrees such that more than one
compartment is scavenged. The size of the arcuate slot and degrees through which the
arcuate slot is in communication with its respective inlet (28a,28b,28c,28d) determines the
duration that a particular bearing compartment is scavenged and the volume of bearing
fluid that may be removed from the compartment.

Abstract: An apparatus (50) to provide knitted articles
starting from a knitted hose has a tubular support (1)
and a head of application (10) that fixes an elastic
band (30) on the knitted hose (60) put on support (1)
same. The elastic band (30) is fixed to the knitted
hose (60) at edges which are cut following the desired
shape of the article. In case of pants, the knitted
hose (60) is initially subject to a step of making the
apertures for the legs and then to applying elastic
bands at the edges. Tubular support (1) is brought
into rotation by a motor (25) about an electronically
controlled axis (5) and cooperates with the head of
application (10) sliding along a direction (16) and
rotating about an axis (15) orthogonal to the axis of
the support (1). A combined relative motion between
support (1) and head (10) allows, then, to apply the
band (30) at the edges of hose (60) with high
precision and at a high speed. The head of application
(10) can be moved according to two degrees of freedom
pivotally connecting it by an arm (11) to a carriage
(71) sliding on a guide (72) in direction (16). 
     The angular position of the axis (5) of tubular
support (1) can be instantly measured, for example, by
coupling the motor (25) to an encoder, or a resolver,
or a potentiometer, etc. Similarly, it is possible to
know the position of the head of application (10) in
order to carry out the application of elastic band
(30) on the cut edges of hose (60) with high
precision.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus is equipped with light emitting elements
(21-26) such as LEDs. The light emitting elements are driven by a power
supply circuit of the drive device (10) at a high step-up voltage (Vh). The
drive device (10) has a multiplicity of constant-current drivers (12-14), a
selection circuit (18), and a control circuit (11). The drivers are turned ON
or OFF in accordance with respective instruction signals (S1-S3) supplied
thereto to provide associated series with currents to activate the series for
emission of light when associated drivers are turned ON. The selection
circuit (18) selects the lowest one of the voltages impressed on the drivers
and outputs the selected lowest voltage as a detection voltage. The control
circuit (11) automatically controls the voltage Vh so as to equilibrate the
detection voltage with a low reference voltage at which the drivers can
perform required constant-current operations. Thus, the drive device can
fully activate the light emitting elements for emission of light while
suppressing energy loss in the drivers.
