Title: Apparatus for steam production by combining oxygen and hydrogen
IPC: F22B1/00
Filed: 1991-04-13
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for generating steam by combining hydrogen and oxygen. It comprises a combustion chamber for combining hydrogen and oxygen and a downstream injection cooler, in which the steam generated in the combustion chamber and having a very high temperature is brought by injection of feedwater to the parameters suitable for feeding into the steam turbine, with a simultaneous increase in the steam mass flow. To provide an apparatus which allows in a technically simple manner the high temperatures of 3000 DEG C, arising as a result of the oxidation of hydrogen, to be controlled and the resulting steam to be changed with respect to its parameters, especially temperature and pressure, in such a way that it can be fed to a downstream steam turbine, the injection cooler is formed by a double-walled cylinder (1), on whose inside wall (2) a lining of an axially extending tube bundle is located. The feedwater is fed to the tubes (7) of the tube bundle at the end facing the combustion chamber, the other end of the tubes (7) being connected to the annular space (6) of the double-walled cylinder (1). In a part- region, some tubes (7) of the tube bundle form unlined surfaces (11) by means of radial deflections 7a, on which surfaces injection devices (12) for the feedwater are located in the inside wall (2) of the cylinder (1).

Abstract: The ballast has a first switching element (3) which interrupts the circuit after a preheating time for the lamp (1). The interruption induces the starting voltage in the inductor (L) connected upstream from the lamp (1). In order that the starting time can be set, a further switching element (5) is provided, having an adjustable switching threshold (R1/R2). This allows simple adjustment of the starting time into the region where the lamp current is increasing after passing through zero. In this region, the first switching element (3) is opened independently of its latching current. In consequence, the starting time and the starting current can be adjusted precisely, which results in a defined starting voltage. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for rotary snow plough
Inventor: MOETTELI PAUL
IPC: E01H5/09
Filed: 1991-11-06
Granted: 1994-10-26
Abstract: The rotary snow plough, which has a chassis (4) and an engine (10), has a housing (24) for the cutting drum (20). Two hold-down members designed as skids (30) are mounted on this at ground level. 
<??>At their front ends (40), which lie in front of the cutting drum in the direction of travel, the skids are of wedge-shaped design. When the skids penetrate into the snow during the clearing work, a downward force component arises at the skids due to the wedge shape. This counteracts the tendency of the rotary snow plough to climb up onto the snow. The hold-down members accordingly maintain contact with the ground and ensure that the snow is cleared uniformly and close to the ground.

Abstract: An information recording and reproducing device uses a recording medium which is provided with units composed of blocks and a unit information recording area containing: unit allocation information; sector number information indicating the number of sectors per unit; and unit number information identifying each unit. When the recording medium is placed in the device, the respective information is read by a calculating unit and is used for calculating physical sector numbers corresponding to a block specified in recording and reproduction operations. Access operations are performed to the calculated sectors, which allows the desired information to be recorded. The block includes dummy sectors which are added before and after each group of predetermined numbers of effective sectors. When high-volume information is recorded over several blocks, the dummy sectors may be provided only for the first and last blocks. The device records a group of information whose volume varies from the smallest block number toward the larger block numbers, while it records a group of information whose volume is fixed from the largest block number. Thus, the recording area is effectively used. The device easily conducts the information management when a host device specifies a block. The file management may be executed by providing a unit for recording file management information separately from a unit for recording files. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Procédé et système pour effectuer des mesures au moyen de la méthode de la résistivité afin de détecter l'épaisseur d'une couche de boue sur la périphérie extérieure d'un machine bouclier. Une résistivité de référence sur la périphérie extérieure de la machine est mesurée par une rangée d'électrodes Wenner (14) pour détecter ainsi la résistivité dans le sens de la profondeur du sol naturel et l'épaisseur de la couche de boue. Simultanément, la répartition de la tension dans le sens de la profondeur du sol naturel et dans le sens de l'emplacement des électrodes est mesurée par une rangée d'électrodes dipôles (16). On obtient ainsi des rapports entre les valeurs mesurées par les électrodes dipôles et les valeurs de référence de la rangée d'électrodes Wenner et on peut déterminer la répartition. Sur un graphique de cette répartition, les valeurs égales sont représentées par une courbe continue afin d'obtenir une image de lignes de niveau permettant de déterminer la forme de l'affaissement du sol naturel. Ces données peuvent être affichées sous forme bidimensionnelle ou tridimensionnelle par un dispositif de traitement des images. De plus, une pluralité d'ensembles de rangées d'électrodes (14), (16) sont disposés dans le sens de la circonférence de la machine bouclier. La résistivité est détectée en faisant passer des courants électriques de fréquences différentes et l'affaissement du sol naturel peut être mesuré rapidement.

Abstract: A process variable transmitter (50) which has a manual adjustment (60) for span and zero or the like. The adjustment (60) has a finer adjustment range where the output changes responsive to changes in the position of the adjustment. The adjustment has a coarse range where the transmitter output changes automatically as a function of time to provide coarser adjustment. An operator can move the adjustment back and forth between the adjustment ranges until a desired output value is observed. When adjustment is complete, the operator can manually select the desired transmitter output value and then a selection circuit (68) stores the setting in non-volatile memory (66, 13). After a setting is stored, the transmitter output is not sensitive to movement of the manual adjustment (60), but is instead controlled by the stored setting.
