Title: Modulating fluid control device
Inventor: MCINTOSH DOUGLAS S

Granted: 2004-09-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to a modulating fluid control device for a fluid-based heating and cooling system for a measured environment. The control device comprises a body, a fluid entry port and a fluid exit port and a valve with actuator located between the ports. In the case of three-way valves a bypass port is also provided thus becoming a mixing or diverting valve. The valve is responsive to input from a sensor and controller to restrict or permit the flow of fluid through the valve dependent upon conditions in the measured environment. The improvement is characterized in that the control device is provided with: (a) a valve controller and means associated therewith to position the valve and thereby regulate the flow of fluid through that valve, and (b) flow detection means associated with the valve to measure the flow of fluid at a location in the system and provide to the valve controller a feedback signal representative of that flow rate. The sensor and controller is adapted to provide a signal to the valve controller and the valve controller is arranged to control the valve, and so control the flow of fluid in the system responsive to signals received from the sensor and controller. The flow detection means and the valve controller are arranged to maintain a required rate of flow of fluid through the system as measured by the flow detection means, which promotes desired environmental conditions in the measured space.

Abstract: A socket and/or insert (6) for accommodating a fastener head is inserted in a screwing attachment (1). The socket and/or insert (6) comprises two jaws (4, 5) which engage in a tubular holder (3) in which they are locked against rotation. The jaws can slide in axial direction relative to the holder (3). In their one end position, the jaws (4, 5) can be forced apart in radial direction for insertion of a fastener head. Under the effect of axial force in the direction of the arrow (23), the jaws (4, 5) are pressed into the holder (3), whereby the jaws are necessarily squeezed toward each other in radial direction by virtue of the tapered camming faces (12, 13), so that the inserted fastener head becomes firmly clamped.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus for decoding an incoming symbol stream comprised of a plurality of known missing symbols. Within the incoming symbol stream, those symbols corresponding the known missing symbols are replaced with a first set of values to create a modified symbol stream. The modified symbol stream is convolutionally decoded to produce a first decoded information bit stream. An error detection mechanism is performed on the first decoded information bit stream to determine a "pass" or "fail" indication. If the error detection mechanism produces a "fail" indication, a second set of values replaces the known missing symbols to produce a second modified symbol stream. The second modified symbol stream is convolutionally decoded to produce a second decoded information bit stream. The error detection mechanism is performed on the second decoded information bit stream. If the error detection mechanism produces a "pass" indication, the second decoded information bit stream is passed to the next processing layer. Additional repetitions can be completed until an error free decode is obtained or a predetermined number of attempts is completed without a "pass."

Abstract: A tool holder for a punching machine, comprising several punching units (14) that are accommodated in tool holding fixtures (12) in the holder (10) in addition to gas pressure springs (15) to recall the punches (20). The advantage of gas pressure springs is that the pressure level can be adapted to the material that is to be machined. In order to make it easier and quicker to achieve said adaptation, the pressure chambers (28, 32) of the gas pressure springs are joined to a common supply line (44) which can be connected to a pressure gas source. As a result, it is possible to change the internal pressure of all the gas pressure springs (15) at the same time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a visible insert (1) for airbag covers. Said visible insert (1) is fixed to a support part (4) of the airbag cover by a conventional fixing means such as ultrasonic welding, sticking or clipping. The deployment of the airbag places the visible insert (1) under great stress. This stress can be so great that the visible insert (1) becomes detached from the support part (4) and may be propelled uncontrolled into the passenger area, putting the passengers at great risk. The aim of the invention is to minimise this risk of injury. To this end, a catching element (2) is fixed to the visible insert (1) in such a way that in the event that the visible insert (1) does become detached from the support part (4), the catching element (2) prevents it from being propelled uncontrolled into the passenger area.

Abstract: A process for producing clad pipe comprises forming a hollow body (S10) of base material, bonding a cladding material metallurgically to the base material (S12) to form a composite body and subsequently extruding the composite body to form a pipe. This process allows the metallurgical bond to be validated using non-destructive methods prior to extrusion. Any areas that are unbonded will be detected, thereby reducing wastage. Moreover, because the metallurgical bond is achieved prior to extrusion, the cladding thickness is controlled during the extrusion process, avoiding migration of the clad material into the base material by disproportionate amounts.
