Abstract: A spreader apparatus is disclosed for spreading manure. The apparatus includes a container which defines an opening for the reception therein of the manure. The container (12) has a first (18) and a second (20) end zone with the first end zone (18) defining an outlet (22) for the discharge therethrough of the manure. A rotatable feed device is disposed within and co-operates with the container for feeding the manure through the container. The feed device (26) has an axis of rotation (30) which extends through the end zones of the container. A rotatable discharge device (32) is disposed within the container and co-operates with the container and the feed device for moving the manure towards the outlet. The discharge (32) device has a further axis of rotation which is disposed spaced and parallel to and laterally below the axis of rotation of the feed device (26). The arrangement is such that when the feed and discharge devices are rotating, all of the manure within the container is fed at a substantially constant rate towards the outlet.

Abstract: A fire safe valve (10) which includes a body (12) having an inlet, an outlet, a valve chamber (14) communicating with the inlet and the outlet and having an opening, a bonnet (24) secured to the body and having a bore (22) therethrough with the opening of the bore communicating with the valve chamber opening and defining a back seat (30) surrounding the bore, a valve member (18), a valve stem (20) connected to the valve member and extending through the bonnet bore, a backseating shoulder (28) on the valve stem, an actuator (26), said valve stem connecting to the actuator to move the valve member within the valve chamber to open and close flow through the valve, a temperature sensitive material (34) retaining said valve stem shoulder spaced from said bonnet bore seat during normal operations and allowing additional movement of the valve stem responsive to excessive temperatures to bring the valve stem shoulder into engagement with the bonnet bores seat to backseat and prevent flow of fluids within the valve from escaping therefrom. A heat transmitting jacket (44) is connected between a position close to said heat sensitive means and a position spaced therefrom to ensure the early transmission of heat to the temperature sensitive material when remote portions of the valve are subjected to fire. The jacket includes heat pipes (52) mounted in spaced ring for the transmission of heat.

Abstract: A method is provided for at least partially superposing an edge of a first object (100) with the edge of a second object (112) in a system for displaying at least the first and second objects against a background (104). The objects and the background are defined by a plurality of pixels and each pixel possesses a selected one of at least a first output state and a second output state. The method comprises the steps of: 
   setting a first set of dispersed pixels disposed along the edge of the first object to the second output state; 
   setting a second set of dispersed pixels disposed along the edge of the second graphic object to the second output state; and 
   superposing the edge of the first object with the edge of the second object so that the first set of pixels is intermeshed with the second set of pixels to form a partial pixel boundary (114) between the first object and the second boundary.

Abstract: A method of making a UV curable hardcoat composition uses a strip-free process and produces hardcoats having good scribed tape-pull adhesion, high resistance to scratching and a low delta taber haze after abrading for 500 cycles with a 500 gram weight. UV curable hardcoat compositions are also provided which contain high solids contents and high mole percentages of photoinitiator. Compositions containing methoxypropanol as a water miscible alcohol and methylbenzoylformate as a photoinitiator exhibit high taber hardness and can be made by processes which obviate the need for a time and energy consuming solvent-strip step. The processes are not only shorter, but safer than processes which include a solvent-strip step.

Abstract: This pre-chamber type engine is provided with pre-chambers (2) formed in the cavities in piston bodies (8), and head plates (4) consisting of a material of a high thermal resistance the thermal expansion coefficient of which is substantially equal to that of the piston bodies and fixed to the piston bodies. The fuel injection nozzles (10) project into the insert bores (7) made in the head plates when the pistons are in positions in the vicinity of the top dead centers. The communication ports (9) formed in the head plates extend in the portions thereof which are around the insert bores diagonally with respect to the axes of cylinders, and are spaced from one another in the circumferential direction thereof. The communication ports are formed so that the axes thereof are inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the swirl currents in the main chambers flow with the direction in which the gaseous mixture is ejected from the pre-chambers into the main chambers in agreement with that in which the swirl currents in the main chambers flow. Accordingly, the ejection currents from the pre-chambers into the main chambers enable the mixing thereof with fresh air to be promoted by utilizing the swirl currents in the cylinders.

Abstract: Dans une direction assistée à crémaillère, conçue notamment pour des véhicules automobiles, un pignon (2) logé dans un boîtier de direction (1) est en prise avec une crémaillère (6). Afin de renforcer l'assistance, un servomoteur (11) est relié à la crémaillère de direction (6) de manière motrice. Le pignon (2) est monté pivotant dans un palier fixe (3) et dans un palier libre (4). Dans la zone du palier fixe (4) se trouvent deux soupapes de commande (26, 27) dont les axes sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe des pignons (2). Le palier libre (4) est guidé de manière à se déplacer dans le boîtier de direction (1) perpendiculairement à son axe, uniquement en direction des axes des deux soupape de commande (26, 27). Cette direction assistée à crémaillère permet d'utiliser les forces transversales au lieu des forces axiales qui agissent sur le pignon (2), afin d'actionner les soupapes de commande. L'actionnement des soupapes de commande s'opère donc indépendamment de l'angle d'hélice de la denture du pignon.

Inventor: KING ROGER ERNEST
IPC: G01J5/00
Filed: 1993-10-20
Abstract: A radiation pyrometer assembly and method for sensing the temperature of an elongate body, such as metal strip, moving longitudinally in the direction of its length includes a spray gun which deposits a narrow stripe (5) of black paint of a uniform emissivity, upon one surface of the strip as it moves towards a temperature sensing station. The sensing station includes a calibration radiation pyrometer (6) arranged to view the black stripe (5) once the temperature of the stripe has reached the temperature of the strip. The accuracy of the apparatus may be improved by the provision of a process control radiation pyrometer (7) directed to the opposite, un-painted surface of the strip (1) the combined readings from the two pyrometers allow the correction of otherwise unpredictable errors in the temperature of the strip.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically controlling the angular velocity (speed) of a motor vehicle wheel under braking. The process is characterised in that it consists in determining the angular velocity of each wheel, calculating the mean of these angular velocities, deducing a calculated speed of the vehicle Vcal using the formula:            Vcal= omega  Lo where  omega  is the mean angular velocity and Lo is the theoretical developed length of each wheel; and determining the reference angular velocity of the wheel in question using the formula:             omega i = Vcal DIVIDED Li  where Li is the developed length of the wheel. The invention finds an application in anti-lock braking systems for motor vehicles.
