Title: Improved interior lighting apparatus for a refrigerated display case
Inventor: MCGOVERN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01R33/08
Filed: 1995-11-15
Granted: 2000-01-18
Abstract: An improved lighting apparatus is disclosed for illuminating the interior of a refrigerated display case which uses in combination a unique configuration of a main lighting unit behind the cornice as well as an illumination device under the front edge of each shelf wherein each shelf includes a lightrace extending longitudinally adjacent the front edge thereof for retaining the power supply wires therein and wherein the electrical power is supplied to the lighting means through a one-piece end plug electrical coupling designed to seal the end of the lightrace while simultaneously providing electrical connection to a mounting fixture for a fluorescent lamp.          The mounting fixture preferably includes a means for mounting of the lamp therein as well as a coupling adapted to engage the electrical coupling of the one-piece end plug electrical coupling in the end of the lightrace for facilitating powering of the shelf illumination lights.          The present design includes a novel ballast retaining chamber behind the cornice as well as several specially designed reflector members to facilitate downward illumination from the main lighting within the upper portion of the housing to fully capture and efficiently direct the lumen output of the fluorescent lamps.

Abstract: A chip bin (10) for wood chips in a continu-ous digester system includes internal steaming that is controlled in response to both the interior temperature across the level of chips in the bin, and the level of chips in the bin so as to substantially prevent cool, non-condensible gas-laden chips from accumulating at the top of the chip column in the bin, and to substan-tially prevent steam blow-through.  The temperature probe (25) used in the ship bin (10) has a temperature sensing portion with a length of about ten to twenty feet instead of the conventional five foot length, and extends across the level of the chips to a position about five feet below the level of chips.  Control of steam added to the bin is provided utilizing a controller which controls the position of one or more valves in one or more steam conduits, each valve having multiple open positions and a closed position.  A vacuum and pres-sure relief device (35) is disposed in a non-condensible gases vent from the bin which minimizes the potential for gross gas flow variations across it.  The relief de-vice includes a solid interior peripheral portion of the vent, a gate mounted of pivotal movement by a pivot shaft, and a casing which is a cylindrical sector (hav-ing a sector angle of about 30-60°) in which the  gate pivots.  The casing is mounted in the solid interior pe-ripheral portion and a brush seal is provided between the gate and the cylindrical sector casing.

Inventor: WOEMPNER DIETHELM
IPC: B21C23/01
Filed: 1997-01-30
Granted: 2003-03-18
Abstract: A process for extruding a section or the like body from an ingot (24) is such that an ingot (24) is introduced into a bore (22) of a container (18) and, by means of an extrusion stem (16), is fed in the direction of extrusion into a shape-giving opening in a die (32). Before the ingot enters the die opening, it is pushed out of the container (18) by an amount corresponding to the width (t) of a collar whereupon a disk-shaped slice (48) is sheared off the free end of the ingot and removed. The free end of the ingot (24) is then pushed onto the die opening. In order to carry out this process a shearing tool (38) is provided after the end (23a) of the container (18) facing the die (32) and a moveable shearing blade (39) positioned over that entrance to the container bore (22) The disk-shaped slice (48) should preferably be sheared away together with a residual butt (42) of the previously extruded ingot which faces away from the die. To that end a shearing tool (38) with two shearing blades (39, 39a) is provided and can be moved radially with respect to the longitudinal axis (A) of the container bore (18).

Abstract: A small-sized flat antenna mounted on a portable radio communication device is available for a narrow bandwidth, and the resonance frequency of the flat antenna varies due to interference between the flat antenna and surrounding dielectrics such as a housing and a human body. As a result, the transmission efficiency and reception sensitivity of the antenna have been impaired. A communicating section (constructed of a coaxial line or a microstrip line) is arranged in a portable radio communication device having a circularly polarized antenna for satellite communication, so that an appropriate distance is provided not only between a housing of the portable radio communication device and the antenna but also between a human body and the antenna.
