Abstract: A control unit (38) provided on each of a plurality of operating units
for integrating the whole of such an operating unit group that operating
units performing a certain operation plurally aggregate and making the
same perform regularly operation control includes a signal transmission
part (33 and 34) and a signal receiving part (35 and 36) for communicating
with the adjacent operating unit, and a connection determination part (37)
determining whether or not it is located on a predetermined start position
forming a start point of integrated control in the operating unit group on
the basis of relative positional relation obtained as a result of performing a
communicating operation for deciding the operating unit as a master
operating unit when determined as located on the start position while
deciding it as a dependently operating slave operating unit when
determined as not located on the start position. Thus, an operation
integrated control method in which the operating unit can determine
whether it is the master operating unit or the slave operating unit itself
and a control unit therefor are provided.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur système de fixation capable de saisir une pièce et assurant une meilleure répartition des forces internes induites dans les composants du fait de l'assemblage du système. Le système de fixation comporte un élément fileté extérieurement dont le filet présente un profil sensiblement non-triangulaire, ainsi qu'un élément à filetage intérieur dont le filet présente également un profil sensiblement non-triangulaire. Lorsqu'ils sont assemblés, les faces sensiblement non-triangulaires des éléments filetés intérieurement et extérieurement se correspondent le long d'une face de contact en raison de la forme spéciale de leur filet et peuvent supporter des charges axiales plus importantes que les systèmes comparables dont les filets présentent un profil sensiblement triangulaire.

Abstract: Wrapping apparatus for wrapping an object such as an agricultural bale with stretched film has a powered stretch film dispenser mounted to a swing arm disposed above a bale support; the swing arm is connected to a drive unit by which the arm is swung causing the dispenser to execute continuous circular motion about a bale on the bale support, the latter being operable to spin the bale slowly about an axis in the plane of motion of the dispenser. The dispenser derives power for positively dispensing wrapping film from the arm drive unit by way of a mechanical drive transmission. In use, turns of film are wrapped in overlapping, angularly displaced fashion about the bale and the rate at which film is dispensed always bears a fixed relationship to the speed of the drive unit, the angular speed of the swing arm and the rate at which turns are wrapped around the bale.

Abstract: The tire sidewalls have bead areas (6) which are held in annular chambers (10), the axially outer walls (23) of which have an opening (24) to enable the sidewalls (9) to pass through. Each bead is held in a cylindrical axially inner area of each chamber and the sidewall in an axially outer area whose breadth increases to the outside of the rim. A filling ring (12) with a radially inner surface corresponding to the radially inner chamber wall (20) is pressed against the latter when the tire is mounted. Preferred Features: The filling rings (12) move axially to hold and/or allow removal of the tire beads from the rim (1) and when correctly positioned extend axially out through the openings (24) in the axially outer chamber walls (23). Filling ring construction comprises rubberized cords spirally wound around the ring axis. The radially inner and outer faces of a filling ring are parallel and when the ring is correctly located forms a positive connection with the radially inner side of the bead (6). The outer side of the bead lies against the radially outer wall of the annular chamber (10). In a design variation the axially outer area of the chamber may extend into a third axial area. Both areas may be curved and the radially inner wall has a nose which radially narrows the chamber. The ratio of the maximum radius of the radially inner chamber wall (20) in the broadening axially outer area to the radius of the inner chamber wall in the cylindrical axially inner area is 1.005-1.4. The radially outer surfaces of the rim act as an emergency running face. Tire beads may be coreless or have a rubber core (8) with a hardness of 80-100, preferably 85-90 Shore A. The bead core may have an extension of 5-30%, preferably 10-20% and a compressibility of 1-5%, preferably 2.5-3.5%. The maximum diameter of the emergency running surfaces is 1.05-1.3 times, preferably 1.1-1.2 times greater than the inner ring diameter of the bead core when the wheel is assembled.

Abstract: Space between the heat exchanger casing and a series of flat parallel tubes containing high temperature fluid is used to circulate lower temperature fluid. The heat exchanger has a first series of flow channels for a first high temperature fluid, made from thermally conducting material and a second series of flow channels for a second fluid at a lower temperature, also made from a thermally conducting material. These channels intercept perpendicularly so as to ensure heat transfer between the first and second fluids. Each channel is of oblong shape and is divided by insertion of a thermally conducting material fixed to the long internal channel faces on a number of internal channels. The first series of channels are formed from flat parallel tubes (7) juxtaposed in the direction perpendicular to the large axis of their transversal section at pre-set distances between two exterior lateral plates (8). These plates are parallel to the tubes in a casing (9) which is open other lateral faces and is maintained at the top and bottom by input and output collector plates (13, 14) of collector inputs (2) and outputs (3), in which the tubes (7) terminate. The channels of the second series are formed in the spaces between the exterior of the tubes (7) and the plates of the casing (9).
