Abstract: Tooling is described for securing to the movable end of a computer-controlled robotic arm, by which articles can be picked up, optionally rotated and lowered into a new position. The tooling comprises two blades each having a leading edge and trailing edge, movable between a first position in which their leading edges are separated by a large gap and a second position in which the leading edges overlap, or are in contact or are separated by a smaller gap. Drive means effects the relative movement between the two blades whereby in use the tooling can be lowered with the blades separated and on opposite sides of an article until the blades just make contact with a surface on which the article is resting, and the drive means is operated so as to move the blades inwardly below the article, so that when subsequently the tooling is raised the article is lifted therewith. The tooling may include a vacuum chuck or two or more spikes each of which positively engages in the article, and rotation of the article is achieved by rotating the vacuum chuck or a member from which the spikes depend, in a plane which is generally parallel to the plane containing the two blades. A support member may be positioned above each of the blades, and the drive means moves both the support members and the blades until an article is gripped between the support' members, and thereafter only the blades continue to move below the article. The drive means maintains the support members in the article gripping position as the blades are subsequently withdrawn from below the article, to prevent frictional drag on the underside of the latter from separating or moving the article. Typically the drive means only disengages the support members from the article after the blades have moved from therebelow. A viewing system provides image signals to a robotic-arm-controlling computer, to determine the orientation of each article to be picked up, and to generate control signals for rotating the tooling accordingly.

Abstract: A process for efficiently producing a loose flocculate formed by removing impurities from an aqueous latex of rubbery polymer particles, a dried powder thereof and, further, a re-dispersion in which the rubbery polymer particles are re-dispersed in an organic solvent, as well as a process for efficiently producing a resin composition in a favorable dispersed state of the rubbery polymer particles and with less content of impurities by using the dispersion are provided. 
     A loose flocculate of rubbery polymer particles with less impurities is formed by bringing water into contact with a mixture obtained by mixing an aqueous latex of rubbery polymer particles with an organic solvent exhibiting a partial solubility to water and, further, separating the aqueous phase from a mixture of the loose flocculate and the aqueous phase. Further, a resin composition in which rubbery polymer particles are dispersed in a favorable state with less impurities is obtained by mixing a re-dispersion obtained by adding organic solvent to the loose flocculate with a polymerizable organic compound having a reactive functional group such as an epoxy resin and removing volatile ingredient by evaporation.

Abstract: A heat exchanger useful for high temperature applications such as EGR cooling and fuel reformer applications comprises a tube bundle made up of a plurality of tubes, each having at least one end expanded to an enlarged polygonal cross-section, and having central portions with a generally smaller cross section. When the tubes are formed into a bundle, the enlarged end portions nest with one another and interstitial spaces are provided between the central portions of the tube. The enlarged end portions are preferably retained by a header ring having a multifaceted inner peripheral sidewall which is adapted to form brazed lap joints with the outward facing surfaces of the peripheral tubes end portions in the tube bundle. In one preferred arrangement, axially aligned enlarged portions are provided intermediate the ends of at least some of the tubes.

the same. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved apparatus and method for forming meat patties using a mold
plate (38) having multiple rows or groups of patty forming cavities (40). An existing single row forming machine is modified by
moving the fill slot (36) relative to the existing stroke length so that the fill slot (36) comes in contact of fluidly communicates with
at least one newly added row of cavities (40). This is most easily achieved by modifying the existing fill plate and by adding cavities

Abstract: A valve section 13 for controlling the flow rate of refrigerant flowing through a control valve 11 for a variable displacement compressor from a discharge chamber into a crankcase co-acts with a pressure-sensing section 12 provided at the side of a high-pressure port 18 that receives discharge pressure Pd. The pressure-sensing section 12 comprises a pressure-sensing piston 19 having a larger pressure-receiving area than a valve element 25. The pressure sensing piston 19 responds to a change of the discharge pressure Pd as caused by a rapid change of the rotational speed of an engine. Then a differential pressure is produced between the discharge pressure Pd and the pressure in a pressure-adjusting chamber 23, which temporarily produces a force for axially moving the pressure sensing piston 19. This force is transmitted via a shaft 24 to the valve element 25 to accelerate the opening and/or closing motion of the valve element 25 which motion is initiated by the differential pressure between the discharge pressure Pd and the suction pressure Ps. This action more promptly restores the compressor to a predetermined discharge capacity operation.
